  1. A bit hard, Amort is dead.

  2.  @fastbike1977  yeah, maybe, but given the vast number of American mispronunciations in daily use, just let them go.

  3. It should also be a warning to politicians in democracies against insulting the populace, especially those they feel are not supportive of them. Many an election or leadersip position has been lost due to entitled politicians mouthing off. Hillary is probably the most notorious in recent history, but the likes of David Cameron and Therese May in the UK, or Malcolm Turnbull and BillShorten in Australia also treated voters with contempt or a sense of entitlement.

  4. More like he wasn't Italian, but don't kid yourself; antisemitism is/was common enough in Italy, including organised crime.

  5. Two evil bastards!

  6. Too many mobster/gangster types on here. Boring, only of interest to some Americans.

  7. True, Commmunist lunatics, of all the different tribes of that diseased dogma, were every bit as monstrous, and often on a greater scale, than what National Socialism. It would be good if their names, and ideology were similarly reviled. Communism isn't a "great idea thast hasn't REALLY been tried", it is an abhorrent, and demonstrably failed system, just like its National Socialist version of Marxism.

  8. Idiots who listen to the likes of Oprah or politicians and celebrities!

  9. Good to see a non-American again.

  10. To quote L.P. Hartley, probably inaccurately: "The past is a foreign country, they do things differently there". If we go back just 30 or 40 years much the world would seem so alien.

  11. Or my ex-wife.

  12. Try one of the many adblockers. Not perfect, but they do help.

  13. And so the American education system again reveals its inadequaciesl

  14. And the endless parade Americans conrinues..ll

  15. Blame the ignorant American researchers and scriptwriters and editors.

  16. You stated the correct reason; you're American. Globally, Columbus is well-known, but Cook is a legend.

  17. Been done.

  18. Yeah well, it was a US presidential tradition, following on from FDR, and followed by LBJ.

  19.  @Claytone-Records  That was FDR and, indirectly before him, the autocratic Woodrow Wilson. Nixon finished the transition, cops all the opprobrium from the political Left, but merely succumbed to the inevitable.

  20. " Put you on an FBI watchlist...", well maybe in the US, but there is this place called "the rest of the world",.

  21. Really? She did more than you ever will.

  22.  @rickeon2397  Not a particular fan of hers, it is just amusing how all you Lefties have to paint your opponents as the ultimate evil. That sort of hyperbole really undermines your position. Not triggerd, that American term means nothing to me, though using your metric, I appear to have triggered you. Now, toddle off and rub your prized photo of Atlee on your insignificant package. Oh, as for not having a photo, that does appear to have triggered you again. Suck it up, sunshine, most people don't bother pisting a photo here.

  23.  @rickeon2397  No Tories here, don't live in the UK, never have. As for Australia, blame incompetent state governments for this third wave, especially Dodgy Dan and Gladarse.

  24. Mafia, Communists and Fascists? Pity they didn't destroy each other. I know our modern Leftist, PC Woke world gives Communists a free pass, but they were all disgusting.

  25.  @aaropajari7058  If you accept that Far-Left and Far-Right are actually different to the average citizen, which in reality they are not, then perhaps the issue is extremism.

  26. Left-wing persecution of clergy (faiths in general) is even more infamous.

  27. Or the old fart you currently have.

  28. They are just going along with that American Youtube habit of infecting videos with endless movie and TV interjections.

  29. As others clearly explained, it is to make fun of something/someone in colloquial British English. Similarly to be "pissed" in British English can also mean to be drunk, not just the American meaning of to be angry. Context will render which meaning is correct.

  30. ? What?

  31. Blame the ignorant American researchers and scriptwriters and editors.

  32. Meh, we laugh at Americans...of either persuasion.

  33. Shackleton was a bloody legend!

  34. Mawson's expedition didn't much resemble the one in At the Mountains of Madness, as there were no tentacles, Shoggoths or Elder Things! I wonder what happened to Danforth? Dyer is mentioned in The Shadow out of Time, probably a better story.

  35. What's a stonker? That term passed me by!

  36. Globally, for sure Cook is.

  37. It might surprise most Americans, but that show, while well known, isn't all that popular globally.

  38. "(G)ood old serial killer" sou ds a bit odd.

  39. Obama?

  40. Blame the American scriptwriters and editors. They have trouble with dates, it seems. Metrics too.

  41. I was fast today, I finished mine at least a generation before you.

  42.  @weareheretochange7361  Sorry, but I don't engage in internet policing, especially of comment threads. I may criticise others, they may give me bollocks in return, but that's life.

  43. You sound American... you do realise your museums are full of nicked artifacts too?

  44. Gay geek reference.

  45. Yet another American. So boring.

  46. A strangely demented bloke!

  47. I am shocked, finally a non-American

  48. Almost killed me in 1989, at 16.

  49. "Creepy sex pest"? The US votes them in: Biden, maybe Trump, definitely Clinton, LBJ, JFK, FDR and others. Epstein was Democrat, linked to prominent Democrats.

  50. The US does not have an empire...officially, and in spite of it's claims to be anti-imperial.
