As Rincewid says I have nothing agaist American pepole (unless I meet them ang they're total jerks with completely [nocando] up valuations etc), just the Americanization of the Swedish society. And a little against the American society, but I think that comes from lack of knowledge more than anything else.
And Kyra, you talked about spanking children. I'm brought up in a country where hurting children in any whay is illegal. Scareing them is illegal, not speaking of fysically harming them. That's why I think hurting children is reluctant, I whant nothing to with anything like that, the thought makes me sick. I don't like it at all.
