f#####g lying whore!

Honesty.... we've got the worst diet in pretty much the world. Except maybe America.

And who do I see as the paragon of healthy eating on the telly tonight. This bint. All smug and self-satisfied, presumably with her mail-order Phd. Which no programme ever quenstions. Ever.

I mean, I spent 4 years sweating blood to get a degree. why bother, when I can send off to the 'Milton Keynes institute of Conglomerate Aggregation' and get a Phdmscbscdphil in whatever I want, based on my life experience? And then use that to flog off sh###y, nigh-on-lethal diet bars made from apple cores and old Chinese newspapers*?

Work? No, f### work. I can appear on Richard and Judy, touting my super slim milkshake made from goat sperm and pips. I mean, I have a certificate, so why even ask if I have a clue what I'm on about? Just give me a TV show, so I can flog even more cheap shite!

I blame the merkins. Firstly, shes been there and now has a half Scots, half American accent. Presumably so she can sound even more of a smart-arse when talking down to people..... Now, both these countries can have their bad accents, but this is worse than you could imagine. The only thing more irritating is the Crazy Frog, and it's got disturbing tiny gonads on show. I'd rather smack a kitten over the head with a frying pan than listen to it.

Secondly, if Americans didn't pick up these things, it'd never work over here. We're too niche to spark fads, thank god. But if they pick up in the US, then we get the marketing juggernaut of the US publishers behind the 'Eat s### and die' or 'Ebola surprise' diet. It doesn't matter how mind-numbingly stupid it is ("What, you mean I can lose up to a stone with a malignant tumour?"), stick 'the hit American diet' on the box and it sells. And gets on the news for it.

No-one would buy a 'latest British craze' embossed book, would they? Hence I blame the Americans. Damn you!

Anyways, she's an irritating, lying, ugly bint who has millions from selling shite under a fradulent qualification. Cow.

Stop blaming America because you have stupid citizens who cannot think for themselves.

We have enough stupid citizens causing *real* problems, and we needn't any more things stacked against us, let alone because some twat uses it to get on television.

Exactly. We can be stupid without affectingthe rest of the world. Our rampant stupidity, remains confined to our shores.

This stuff...always from America. not China, not France, not Germany, not the Uk, not Italy... always America. Atkins. Survivor. Justin Timberlake. Britney Spears. Fox. So i blame you.

Especially as it's convenient.

It's also because people are stupid gullible idiots who will, in the absence of reasonable explanations, happily accept the first unreasonable one to come along

I think Pratchett gave a great example of this in a situation where a witch was trying to tell a villager he had germs in his drinking water and he wouldn't move his well. A second witch went to the well chanted some gibberish and told him he had Goblins living in his well. That afternoon he was moving the well.

When the first witch asked the second why she told him there were Goblins when she knew that goblins didn't exist, the second witch replied 'Of course I know that Goblins don't exist, so does he probably, but fear of what might be creeping up behind you moves a man far faster than knowledge of what is right in front of your face.'

So... The English are emulating American society. How the times have changed.

Yup. I wouldn't care, except they don't shut up about it.

God, that's awfull.

Seriously, I'm doing some pretty basic biochem at school, and even I know she is sprouting utter bullshit.

How the bloody hell is she even allowed to use the Phd title? I thought it was protected? Over here, if you call yourself academic doctor, while not having the proper qualifications, that's a punishable offence.
Hell, if you call yourself 'bachelor in engineering' without having done the 2 year second tier course, you're punishable.

Nevermind anything that has to do with actual medication, I think that's punishable by jail time, especially if you say your treating patients.

Actually, after someone died from some fraudulent homeopathic treatment (normally, I do believe it can work, if only by placebo effect, but this case was someone who was told not to see a surgeon for her cancer because it would be bad karma), saying you are 'treating' anyone requires a permit, IIRC.
Mistreatment is either assault or manslaughter.

And this can at least be attacked as fraudulent advertising. Especially if it is on TV.

Help society, go sue.

We should form an intelligent state where no BS is permited. From there we can conquor the world with the gullible crap that the fools so happily eat up. >D

Problem 1. How to have a system of government without politicians.

Where ever you find politicians bullshit generally follows close behind.

Part of the reason I don't like it... It shows in the fact that I'm only 15 and I'm already looking at colleges in Canada (Actually, if I remember right, there are some good colleges in British Columbia...). Oh, and the fact that I'm too nervewracked and obsessed with my education for my own good, that might be part of it as well.

Come to Australia mate. We got everything you need down here. Plus our education system is pretty good. (Compared to else-wheres anywho)
^_^

Actually, Australia and Canada are the only two places I want to ever visit.

^_^

Excellent.

I'd go if I could afford it... :sigh:

I was looking at study abroad sessions, and my dad was encouraging me to do it (mom wasn't but that's nothing new)

But the cost was ~10,000 semester... Double what the entire year is for me up here, and I'm already needing to tke out a loan for this *sigh*

id love to goto austrailia, i was standing in the newark airport last month and some austrailian girls sports team walked by....wow very easy on the eyes and those accents were great
