    Why do Americans get so easily upset?

    Say something that says anything less than ecstatic about them, and they immediately get their knickers in a twist.

    Heaven knows, I have enough experience.

    What drives them to do it? The Poms, if they could be bothered, would fight back with witty repartee.

    But not the Yanks.

    Why do they - being mostly Republicans - have to take themselves so seriously?

    It's a real mystery that needs to be sorted.

    The mystery is your fixation on republicans.

    For our foreign friends- the Democrats and the Republicans are a single bi-fractional ruling party. It is 100% corrupt. So don't get in bed with the Dems- they are dirty too.

    So far you have all proved my point.

    Instead of addressing a fair question, you go into offended mode.

    And troll..........the very thing you accuse me of doing.

    Now, why is that?

    The Dems at least have sensible social policies that differentiate them from a GOP that wants to cripple the middle and lower classes.
