I've never seen the show, but I'm sure sensible people would not judge an entire nation of people based on the antics of a few obnoxious individuals.
The "obnoxious Pommie" seems to be an increasingly popular caricature in American pop-culture. Perhaps it's popular because it provides a counter-balance to the "posh-Pommie" stereotype of people like Nigella.

BTW: I think the "Ramseys Kitchen Kightmares" is the best programme - where he goes in and troubleshoots failing restaurants / pubs etc... some are just unbelievable.
Kitchen Nightmares has always been his saving grace, IMO. When he goes into a restaurant as a trouble shooter, you can see why his staff are loyal to him, even though he comes across as a total prat in his other stuff. I've just been reading a few bits and pieces about him and he seems a lot more rounded than he appears to be on tv. I still think he needs to learn that "tough isn't rough". I discovered that Trinny and Susanah thought the pig thing was funny, so it's not as bad as I thought. And I've posted on other threads that the TV camera is the source of information that should be least trusted. It only points in one direction, and ignores what's happening in the other 359 degrees around it.
At the end of the day, the only simple thing you could say about Ramsay is that he's complex!

I liked a part where he was outside his restaurant trying to get a taxi and the London cabbies were either ignoring him or slowing down to give him abuse and then driving off. This was due to him having slated London taxi drivers on the TV some time earlier. Silly boy.
That's his problem: he has no concept of sowing and reaping, or of the Golden Rule. I didn't watch the FWord from when he got the Christmas turkeys and named them after other celebrity chefs. But what really got to me was the second series when he got two pigs to raise for slaughter, and named them Trinny and Susannah. I was "Like, WTF!?" What did they do to earn Ramsay's wrath? Rivalry with other celebrity chefs can be understandable, but is he just sniping at anyone with a high profile these days?
..god created us..to fart?..why?..we`ve got to get rid of gas somehow..what does he give us to do it with?..a tiny friggin hole!..in our bum..??
?..he knew that was gonna make some noise..did he think that was funny?..god made beautifully fragrant flowers,you think he could have done a better job with the fart.but no,that had to be funny too..first comes a noise that would raise the dead,then an odor that would put them back in the grave..none of it makes any sense,unless your a comedian...outlaw
He made cats - I find them pretty amusing.
Q: Why did God make farts smell?
A: So deaf people could enjoy 'em too.

For Pete's sake, Butters! Calm our conspiratorial instincts for just a moment. Do you think a Satanic NWO would advertise itself so openly???

Do you think there might be a correlation betwen the above 3 facts?
lately, here in ottawa, there is a tv ad for a comedy show.
it has a "teacher" in front of a 3 student class.
the teacher says that when he asks a question everyone should put up their hand.
Lately, here in Ottawa, there is a TV ad for a comedy show. It has a "teacher" in front of a 3 student class. The teacher says that when he asks a question everyone should put up their hand. If they fail to raise their hand he will get "this" and then he kicks one of the students in the face.(laugh track plays) While the "victim" holds his head in pain the teacher asks another question. Two students raise their hand but the other fellow is still holding his head. And he gets kicked in the head again and the laugh track plays again.
Sounds like my father's descriptions of his school days!
My kids keep telling me how glad they are that there's no cane at school anymore, whereas I disagree. The cane was quick, was applied immediately, and then you got on with your life. As opposed to today where infinite letters pass back and forth between school and parent until the child is eventually punished by detention or whatever, days or even weeks after they've forgotten what it was they even did, so no lesson is actually learned.

We just had that here in Oz recently, on the Lifestyle Food channel. Ramsay's just a creep and a bully. I'd always assumed that he got away with his treatment of his staff because he must have a "the customer is king" attitude. But when he started abusing customers in the first episode, he pretty well lost me then and there. I just don't watch his stuff any more. I'd rather listen to Rick Stein whinging.

i have traveled widely in asia and have visited iran on business.
i have always found the average muslim to be extremely hospitable and generous.
I doubt there is anyone who's posted to this thread that doesn't know a nice Muslim or two. But the thread is about Islam, not individuals. In the same vein, I doubt there are many here who'd judge the WBTS based on the nice individual Dubs they know.
Stephanus,
of the "is off to buy veges off our local Muslim guy, who happens to be a very nice bloke" class.
has anyone heard of this "new light"?
supposedly it is acceptable to "take your brother to court" which would incur the possiblity of loss of privilieges of position.
however, when one chooses to sue an elder, this would be a disfellowshipping offense because the elders are considered to be the society's representatives and an act of a lawsuit against an elder would be considered an act against the society because of the elders being considered their representatives.. .
Who told you this, an elder?

Unfortunately great fertilizer helps things to grow and the blood of a people is a great fertilizer.
Yep, Islam's growth is built on bloodshed, no doubt about that.
