How not to do business

This side of the pond we kinda snicker at mainstream "American" sensibilities. Speech marks because I know they are not nationally held.

I have no real opinion about our Page 3 girls (topless women on page 3 of the tabloids) but when it comes to international issues like this, I am proud to be British. Get your tits out for the lads!

I hope, hope, hope that gay website was not really blocked for content. That would sicken me. Finance has no place making moral judgements. Even if it comes from a (shaky) Christian standpoint, let him without sin cast the first stone. Here's hoping the Pink Pound (or whatever the US equivalent is) responds accordingly.

Not US bashing, but it does seem to me, as a furriner, that the land of the free and the home of the brave is one of the most homophobic countries in the Free West. Europe seems streets ahead in allowing its gay citizens the same rights as heteros - and we have no Constitution, and only recently a Bill of Rights. Europe was not founded on the idea of all people being equal. But we seem to be there sooner.
