You are displaying the legendary contempt and ignorance for other
cultures
often shown by your countrymen when travelling abroad.

As opposed to the understanding and acceptance the English show...

These days the Brits just get ****ed and fall over, or get arrested for
drunkenness.

But, as a general rule, they are aware of the local culture.

After 500 years I'd hope so.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things.
The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic
feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.

The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight,
nothing which is more important than his own personal safety,
is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless
made so and kept so by the exertions of much better men than himself.

John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873) English economist and philosopher.
