[QUOTE="TheJabbaWookie, post: 490859, member: 9217"] I have often felt that us Brits are pretty useless when it comes to informative debate. I once had an Italian girlfriend and when I travelled to Italy I was struck by how much political and general debate there was, be it over the family dinner table or out with friends in the pub. Debates were heated and passionate but they were never aggressive, confrontational or abusive, and there was always a willingness to understand, learn and embrace opinion. Brits also have a tendency to bury heads in the sand; a nation of polite queuers, who’ll unhealthily bottle up anger, but will sit back and hope someone else will sort out the problems. The internet has enabled us to become keyboard warriors who’ll willingly spurt angry conjecture, whilst failing to embrace research and healthy debate. I of course generalise, jest and exaggerate but there are definitely some home truths about our little SW Community. [/QUOTE]
