Would you say that British society was highly controlled?
I mean both in a legal/state sense and in respect of customs/mores/expected behaviours?

Yes. Just take a look at people especially teenagers. They all look very similar and behave very similar. Many people go to pubs on friday night and get drunk. They live to do it. It is something they were told is good. That kind of system of values has been placed in their brains so they are very easy to control. Individuality and uniquness are very rare to find. The same about creativity. Brainwashed people dont develop. They are unable to enjoy real beauty because they are brainwashed so they think that crap is good. It is false system of values they follow. They work to buy crap and they are ready to pay very high price for it. They abuse their bodies, toxicate themselfs and still belive it is good. They are hypnotised. It is sad. There are obviously people who are strong and keep their own opinions, individuality and independence of minds.

Yes most definitely. We are nannied on a regular basis. Told what to eat, drink, smoke, the types of transport we should use. We have PC shite thrown down are necks every time some individual has decided that hanging black knickers from your washing line is racist. We are the most watched population in the world due to the increase of CCTV, but still cant be too bad as we always have the human rights bill to lean on? Or do we? Better ask Big Brother about that one.

No! definitely not! I think America is more controlled...
There is more of an emphasis on manners n things with the British, but even that is fading somewhat.
I love being british :) It's a lovely mix of races and backgrounds, and there are few fundamentalist Christians!

oh yes it is. I've just had a pop up from the mind control quango, saying I mustn't answer this question unless I can do so in less than fifty words

no and i think that's part of the growing problems we have in this country. We have laws and rules but not the powers to enforce them.
