So....I get bitch-slapped for agreeing with you? You Yanks have never gotten over Napoleon losing, have you?
Religious fundamentalism must be one touchy subject where you are. However, to return to the fray. [Puffs out chest and tries to look self-important.] Alas, I must agree with you about the French: they do not have a culture of stupid anti-intellectualism; they believe in education of a competitive kind; and are almost as irreligious as the British. Odd that one of the last bastions preserving the connection of church and state should find it's expression in an avowedly secular culture like Britain's, but there you go: perhaps we like being criticised for our adherence to meaningless old-fashioned shibboleths whilst simultaneously ignoring the ukases issued by the head of the Church of England, through her henchman, the villainous Doctor Rowan Williams.
Obviously given our nefarious agenda, we'll reconquer the known world and force you all to play cricket.
But I can't help feeling I haven't put my finger on the problem. Which is, I'm sure, something to do with the Anglo-Saxon culture's general stupidity.
