Daily Telegraph blogger Andrew Gimson thinks <\/a>Americans are more polite than Brits. Brits have become yobbish, drunken, self centered louts while Americans are well mannered, articulate, considerate and kind. He expresses exactly what I experienced on moving back to USA from England last year.<\/p>\n

Joseph Pearce is our neighbor here in Greenville. He is married to an American. I\u2019m married to an Englishwoman. We meet often, and our dinner engagements are full of fireworks as we debate such issues.<\/p>\n

Of course, in the debates, Joseph\u2019s wife and I are always extremely polite and refined while he and my wife are always boorish and uncivilized. We can hardly control them as they throw bottles, yell obscenities and bellow out the most uncouth British drinking songs\u2026<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
