But America is not exactly as free as it used to be. More and more liberties are going down the drain as time goes on. Though Britain is far far worse, you're right.

They also love to make fun of us whenever they get a chance, hardly ever see any US talk shows doing that... Fat Americans this, be glad you're not in America that... They (talk show hosts mainly) seem very arrogant and snobbish to me.

You mean this guy?



I like James May but Clarkson is just the same sort of "rubbish" he's so prone to speak out against

He certainly is somewhat hypocritical, and also a BMW hater. In fact, I don't agree with a lot of what he thinks about cars. But he's still funny most of the time and I still love Top Gear.

I still love Top Gear too, and am amused by Clarkson...but my dad is a little less able to "objectively separate" statements if you know what I mean

PS: if you like Clarkson, don't ever read any review of his in print. Unless of course you want an 8 paragraph analogy to some irrelevant yet slightly related nuance of existing and 2 after that describing the car's specs. I'd rather read a spec sheet than a Clarkson review
