So anyone who comes to the obvious conclusion that .. " "The British are much more civilised and intelligent." is a twit?

Paltrow is a descendant of a famous 17th-century rabbi, David HaLevi Segal of Cracow, through the Russian rabbinical family Paltrowitch, which produced thirty-three rabbis over several generations.

This is the only remotely interesting piece in that article.

So someone who has succeeded in the entertainment area but only if they are liberal......a conservative "elite" either doesn't exist or is acceptable.

I was always under the impression that the "American dream", the target, was to achieve success and wealth. Seems that success and wealth are reasons to criticise, despise and demand no opinion ever be uttered. (if it's a liberal opinion)



Such elites are supposed to be immune, or so I've been led to believe.

Where did you get that idea? Nobody should be immune from criticism, but I think it's cheating to make things up.
All too often when a celebrity, well know person or just someone with a platform to speak makes a comment that isn't agreed with the habit is to attack and smear the person, instead of responding to the opinion (hannityisms).

I think events so far militate toward her backtracking, having realized her mis-step, and yes, I do believe there was a mis-step.

You, on the other hand, are so concerned with defending the poor little liberal lady you've swallowed whole her proffer the original interview never even happened.

More on point, I couldn't care less about her opinion, apart from noting my distaste for those (anyone) who retreat to a far shore in order to throw their stones, secure in the knowledge they do so from friendly confines.

A really "tough" liberal (to coin a term) could do it stateside. :whistling

BTW-

"Elite" equates rather well with "superior", the attitude she exudes so smugly.

I will grant that not all elites are liberal, but aver nonetheless that they exist in a proportion proximate to that existing between Arabs and terrorists, currently.

Wow, all this fuss over someone giving her honest opinion!

Lucky the American press didn't pick up on her comment that British men have bigger dicks than American men, and make better lovers.

It's also strange that her comments a few months ago, that the only way American women can have an orgasm is to masturbate or find a foreign lover, weren't picked up either.

I merely stated that she may have been misquoted. You think that impossible or just don't want to believe it. I guess you believe anything you read when it suits. This is evident in that you felt compelled to state the "liberal elite" thing.

I actually think it's good for America that we are seen as not being so arrogant that we can't criticise ourselves in the open. I mean she wasn't calling for our destruction. After all what kind of impression do you think the world is now getting about us by this reaction....
Across the ocean, Americans, bound to take everything personal, are rallying against her.That we like free speech? (oh I forgot....free speech needs to be "reexamined" (http://www.unionleader.com/article.aspx?headline=Gingrich+raises+alarm+at+event+honoring+those+who+stand+up+for+freedom+of+speech&articleId=d3f4ee4e-1e90-475a-b1b0-bbcd5baedd78))

I will grant that not all elites are liberal, but aver nonetheless that they exist in a proportion proximate to that existing between Arabs and terrorists, currently.Liberals are a security a risk and are plotting to kill americans?... funny because all the domestic terrorists and domestic terrorist sympathizers are right wingers. Calls to blow up the state dept and kill all our diplomats (http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2006/11/hawks_exit_ente.html) as an example.
What about suggesting killing the supreme court justices using rat poison? (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,183006,00.html) She says it was a joke....is she just back tracking? I mean you have people like Chad Castagana as an example of how seriously those words are taken.

BTW is "bad mouthing americans" only wrong when it's by a liberal? I mean liberals are attacked all the time by conservatives abroad...look back to when Clinton was in power.

And what is the difference between saying it while abroad and saying things on "news stations" such as fox that are broadcast worldwide? what is the difference between saying it while abroad and publishing a novel attacking Clinton or just liberals that is sold worldwide. what is the difference between saying it while abroad and producing a "docudrama" full of falsehoods that is distributed worldwide. Is it only attacking america if it criticisies conservative views?
what is the difference between saying it while abroad and you bad mouthing americans using this international forum as a platform.
and is this hatred for "overseas citicisms" only if americans do it? right wingers love frenchmen that come here and badmouth france......if an Arab badmouths his county right wingers have orgasms

I don't quite see her as having done that.

To me, she seems to be saying, "Gee, I really find the company of the people I find in Britain to be superior to that I've found in America."

ok, this is my honest opinion on our American friends.

I think they get a bad press because the 6% of americans that actually own a passport and vacate to new places, are a set of ignorant c#$Tz.

I've lived in about 8 countries over the years, and hae been privlidged to have a massive melting pot of different creeds and races that i can call friends, and it amazes me that i've had conversations with all of them starting with several variations of the last word "americans are wankers/tits/mo'fo's". Having also met the Americans in question, i would also agree, 99% are tits of the highest order.

But, i wouldnt let others opinions shape mine. So lets look at the things that actually had some effect on me, other than a deaf ear/face full of spit as some dozy yank insists on giving me a 20 second introduction of his zip-code,street, district, town, state, GPS position, when all i asked was, so where you from mate?

Please, just cos u got sexual thrills from reciting every state til your blue in the face as a kid, we didnt.

It makes no difference to me if you tell me you are from "204 Jefferson Drive, on the left, next to the grey Cadillac, yeah, the one with the green door, Wiggleborough, The Blue Bear city, Kunmuck, Illinois State, west of lilttle Britain, east of Japan, UUUU SSSSSS OOFFFF AAAAA, 163.123 N 123.842 E" or you just say "America", it's all the same to me. I have no idea where you just said is, nor does anyone else within the mile range of the decibels of your slobbery voice. So just say your German or irish. Cos you are. Except you Juan Paolo, you is a "home-boy from spicy Meh KEY Co. Essay....".

Anyway, back to the point. Why Americans are blind to the world or anyone around them. My sister, a soldier for 18 years and served twice in Iraq, Afghanistan and many years in N. Ireland. Been shot? Yes she has. Twice in fact. Taliban? NOOOOOO. Alqueeda? NOOOOO. Some drunken irish dude? NOOOO.

Yep, you got it, twice, yes twice, she has been shot by a dumb ass american. As i believe, Americans were given advacned warning for 2 weeks that they would be operating in this specific area. They reminded htem every day. "Do not shoot/bomb this area". A plane flies over, radios in mass Taliban troop movement to the US command, and within 10 mins the whole team are pinned on a mountain side as rockets, round after round of machine gun fire bounding around them. It took over 3/4 of an hour, from the initial emergncy call to US command to ask they stop trying to kill everyone, to a radio call sent through to the frontline saying "boys, you fucked up again." During the period, my sister had a massive hole ripped out og her thigh.

Iraq round 2....shot by an American recon team who were part of a duel operation with the Brits, and shot my sister and another guy.....the actual people they were directing to a certain hot zone.

I've been to America, it was ok, but everything felt like Disney World characters. And i was in Washington State.

Oh, and Georg Bush....what a man to elect to represent your people. Well done.

It's a fair comment.

I am saddened by the lack of awareness many in the USA have when it comes to the world at large. This isn't to say that we are the only ones that suffer such ignorance or that only Americans make bad ambassadors for their country.
Tourists from all over the world leave bad impressions of their country. Americans have excelled in having the reputation precede them.
As a generalisation, we are arrogant, greedy, and selfish. But we have a generous and unselfish side also. ( I won't argue the arrogant bit)

Bad reputations and stereotypes are not always justified. The british do visit the dentist, do bathe and don't all think if they talk loudly and slowly enough the spanish storekeeper will understand them.

So it saddens me that comments as benign as the one ms. paltrow supposedly said could cause such outrage....it re-enforces a stereotype

This, for those who feel compelled to grant her the benefit of the doubt over "what she really meant"...

In January of this year, a statement to the British newspaper, the Guardian:

"I love the English way, which is not as capitalistic as it is in America. People don't talk about work and money; they talk about interesting things at dinner parties. I like living here because I don't tap into the bad side of American psychology, which is 'I'm not achieving enough, I'm not making enough, I'm not at the top of the pile.'"

Back at it again in February (for some, criticizing the U.S. is a full-time job), to Britain's Star magazine:

"Brits are far more intelligent and civilised than Americans. I love the fact that you can hail a taxi and just pick up your pram and put it in the back of the cab without having to collapse it. I love the parks and places I go for dinner and my friends."

In 2005, she said this, to The New York Post:

"I've always been drawn to Europe. America is such a young country, with an adolescent swagger about it. But I feel that I have a more European sensibility, a greater respect for the multicultural nature of the globe."

She was also quoted that year explaining her decision to move to London to the New York Daily News:

"I just had a baby and thought, 'I don't want to live there.'"

In 2004, to Britain's Glamour magazine:

"At the moment there's a weird, over-patriotic atmosphere over there, like, 'We're number one and the rest of the world doesn't matter.'"

She has my personal indictment, based on all this. ;)

Ava Estelle

I see your 'problem' as one of a blow to your ego.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with what she said, and she has not only seen both sides, but she is perfectly entitled to express her opinions.

It seems to me that, according to your attitude, it's what she said that annoys you, not the fact that she said it.


"I love the English way, which is not as capitalistic as it is in America. People don't talk about work and money; they talk about interesting things at dinner parties. I like living here because I don't tap into the bad side of American psychology, which is 'I'm not achieving enough, I'm not making enough, I'm not at the top of the pile.'"
What annoys you here? Is it because what she describes as the "bad side of American psychology" is actually how you feel?


"Brits are far more intelligent and civilised than Americans. I love the fact that you can hail a taxi and just pick up your pram and put it in the back of the cab without having to collapse it. I love the parks and places I go for dinner and my friends."
I can see how the first sentence here would offend your superiority complex, but do you object to her not having to fold her pram too?


"I've always been drawn to Europe. America is such a young country, with an adolescent swagger about it. But I feel that I have a more European sensibility, a greater respect for the multicultural nature of the globe."
Surely this couldn't offend you ... could it?


"I just had a baby and thought, 'I don't want to live there.'"
I'm surprised you posted this bit, is she not allowed to say anything?


"At the moment there's a weird, over-patriotic atmosphere over there, like, 'We're number one and the rest of the world doesn't matter.'"
How many times have we seen that opinion posted here?


So I guess the next thing to do is to ready up the poison tipped umbrella and get an agent over there, before she opens her mouth again.

She is indeed entitled.

As am I, which fact seems to have your knickers in a twist. :whistling

To be honest, if the British, as they apparently do, consider her wise and insightful, kind of makes a joke of her statements...

Yes, it would appear that (if you are British) merely thinking yourselves superior is important.

I think it's Britain's proximity to France and it's sphere of influence, actually; given France's slightly diminished stature these days, a true Francophile would be well-advised to appreciate Gaulle from the gallery that is Britain.

So to speak. :dabs:

Classic! I knew you had no answer to that, just more 'off the top of the head' bullshit.

Next time you post crap, try to think of a reason for it first, it could save you embarrassment later.

I personally consider the lassie neither. She's an actor of average ability. Probably successful because she is attractive and inane enough to be appealing to the second largest film industry in the World.

Her wisdom and insightfulness are maters of no importance whatsoever.

I read elsewhere that Ava wishes to advise me my sarcasm has bitten my backside, yet I feel no discomfort.

Could she be wrong? :huh:

I am a fan of celebs, and I remember reading in a womens magazine that she had been living in Enland for a year and liked it, but she was n ot getting asked out on dates.

The reasons for that is not Englishmen, but the fact that she is so plain and boring and has the figure of a flat mackerel.

I can see why Chris Martin chose her, he is much the same !
