Martin Gibson -- that comment about women with hairy armpits is offensive as well as stupid. Nowhere else but in the US are women brainwashed to the point that they believe body hair is unacceptable. Or that they need silicone tits and botox lips to be lovable, or weigh under 100 pounds, for that matter. If you have a daughter, you might give some long thought to what the American media are doing to her self-image, dad.

I live in this country, and I think it's moronic to respond to someone who's critical of its state of affairs "if you don't like it, why don't you go live in Russia". Was it Jefferson or Tom Paine who said, "There may come times when a patriot must be ready to defend his country from his government"?
