    I suspect the biggest difference and what you still have up there which we no longer have is the key ingredient:

    A sense of community

    Seriously, why do you think they're doing this? Do they hate this guy or something?

    To them it's a geek show... and so they act accordingly.

    I'd be more ashamed of the few people who bring disgrace on the British more so than be ashamed to be British.

    My opinion is, that people act in such a way because they have no fear of punishment or reprisal. Too many people worry about the rights of the perpetrator while ignoring the rights of the victim.

    This seems to be the attitude in most western countries.

    I'm not a big David Blaine fan, and I think this stunt is rather silly, but why do people have to do this sort of thing? How do they get their jollies from creating havoc?

    I'm ashamed to be British. We have no class.

    YES!!!!! YES!!!!!! OH HAPPYYYYY DAYYYYY!!!!! I KNEW IT ALL ALONG!!!!! FINALLY THE TRUTH COMES OUT!!!!! YEAH THAT'S RIGHT, Y'ALL GO SIT OVER THERE WITH THE FRENCH AND GERMANS NOW!!!!!!

    Mike, dancing in the streets!

    p.s. I'm just kidding with you Simon. Don't let the hoodlums get you down brother. They're not representative of the British as a whole, you know that, I know that, and the rest of the world knows that too. Brits like you and E-man and the rest here are some truly great folks.

    Isn't it just human nature. We're not a particularly not species, that's why we are top of the evolutionally tree and destroying our planet. It has always happened and will always happen. Look at any part of human history and it's ALL inhuman. We are caveman in a supposed civilised society, GTA III isn't the most popular video game becasue of it's 'niceness'.

    Personally , I have no problems with Blaine, pushing himself to the limit, physically and mentally. He's using the public as part of the stunt and the stupid pranks are all part of the publicity machine.
