So I'm watching CSI:NY the other night. The CSI's determine that there
is a body buried in a concrete slab at a construction site.

One of the characters is Dr. Sheldon Hawkes. Here's his character bio:
"Hawkes is a Medical Examiner with the NYC Office of the Chief Medical
Examiner (OCME). He was a child prodigy who graduated from college at
eighteen, and by 24 he was a fully board-licensed surgeon."

Guess what? Hawkes is also pretty good with one of these:

To extract the body and take it back to the lab, Hawkes gets behind
one of those bad boys and cuts a perfect rectangle around the body.
These CSI guys can do anything!

They take the huge slab back to the lab and Hawkes begins to extract
the body with - ready for this? - a Dremel tool!

I was laughing my arse off.

CSI is something else again. That's certainly the best use of a
prodigy, a medical exxaminer. Not.

I've been to the NY Medical Examiner's office btw. It's a whole
building, 5 stories or more plus a couple levels of basement, and
pretty wide on First Avenue around 24th St. I guess they do the exams
for all five boroughs, the whole city, although I'm not sure of that.
I went there to watch an autopsy, but when I saw the guy, and he was
about my age, early 20's, I didn't like the idea so much. Years
earlier I'd seen an hour or two of an autopsy of a an old woman, who
died pretty much from natural causes, and I decided one autopsy was
enough. So I left and came back two hours later for my roommate.
(The earlier autopsy of the old woman, wasn't so bad, because she was
old. One interesting thing is that she smoked, and her lungs were two
colors, sort of pink in the center near the bronchial tubes, and the
outer circle, half the radius, much more than half of the volume, was
dark brown or black, without blood circulation, maybe even dead (I
don't know) but not rotting because it was inside her, because of all
her smoking.

I also had a law course taught by the Acting Chief Medical Examiner of
NYC. In forensic medicine or forensic law or whatever it was called.
How medical things related to the law. It was a pretty good course,
and really interesting, except for three class sessions. At them, he
showed slides of traffic accidents for almost 3 solid hours. About 30
minutes into the first class, I decided that I had already known
traffic accidents were bad and I wasn't learning any more than that
and I left. The next class I left after a minute or so of slides,
and I thought people would follow me, but none did. The third class,
I left after a minute or so, and again no one followed me, and if he
finished the slides and went back to course work, I don't know. I
think I got a decent grade in the class but the whole story would be a
lot better if I had actually graduated law school. I don't know if
the other students were more callous than I was/am, but they seemed to
me to be ready to pay any price to graduate with good grades, and were
afraid to walk out.

Though I still think they were bad for me, for my mental health, to
look at even the first half hour, I actually forgot most of the
pictures pretty quickly. But there is one I stilll remember 40 years
later and though it doesn't make me a safer driver, it still makes me
sick to think of. And while I thought the ACME was a very good guy in
a couple ways, and nothing wrong with him in all the other ways, and I
can see showing a half hour's worth to make us safer drivers, I still
wonder what would drive him to show 3 hours' worth. I think he taught
the same course for one semester every year.

We get to see CSI here in the UK too (if you're that simple minded).
It started off fairly serious and realistic. However it has long
descended into typical America ********. I haven't watched it in
years.
Personally I think it should be banned, it twists the brains of the
stupid and credulous, especially all the inane violence.
Anyone who has visited America knows it's ******** within five
minutes, there are no fat ugly gits on CSI. 90% of Americans are fat

You may be correct about the fat and ugly part, darn those

have these things known as a channel selector on our TV sets,
perhaps UK sets lack them. I'm from The Southern part of the

Be sure to stock an extra case of beer in the back of your
monster gas guzzling truck (with the air conditioning).
While you go mud running, and have an open pit barbecue
after the lynching. Burning plenty of charcoal, so you can
have a BIG carbon foot print.

Who exactly are you going to lynch? (I have not experienced a
lynching)
Will it be a black person or a democrat?
Will members of the KKK be in attendance?
Are you a member of the KKK?

I have not seen a lynching though I have seen gunfights, also fights
with other weapons. This was not in America however.
I have to tell you spaghetti is not grown in the UK :-) We do
however hunt foxes and haggis though the former is now illegal.

99.99% of the population understands CSI is fiction, however a small
proportion of the population has their brain warped by watching such
crap. These are the ones that goes on to perpetrate various nasty
crimes.

and whenever there is a news report about Birmingham, I see pictures of

I like to point out that the protesters were sprayed with water not
bullets and not one of the police dogs got indigestion from eating dark
meat. The huge race riot covered a few square blocks of downtown and
most people had no idea it was going on until after it was all over and

paying for it, or somebody else is.


"_NHS is world's biggest employer after Indian rail and Chinese Army_"

..."A total of 1,282,900 people in England have jobs with the NHS: 2
per cent of the 30 million people of working age.

Only the Chinese Army and the Indian State Railways are believed to
employ more people — with 2.3 million and 1.5 million staff
respectively — but both workforces represent a far smaller proportion
of the national populations. "

Obviously you've never seen "The Sopranos", "Six Feet Under", "The Wire",
"Damages", "Nurse Jackie", or other television programs that have been produced
within the past decade. You are generalizing to an extreme. It is too facile
to select the worst examples in a society and use those examples as fully
representative.

For the record, I agree with you that the majority of what passes as popular
culture in the US today is dross. However, I can find more high quality
cultural creations than I have either time or money to enjoy.

We had a guy murdered on the perimeter of our companies buildings. Our
security was in viewing the video with two homicide detectives when one
of them asked the security person to freeze that frame, zoom in on the
truck license plate and then clear up the pixels so they can get the
plate number. After a short pause and lots of confused looks the cop
replied "Sorry, just a joke we have at the office).

I used to like CSI Los Vegas until this last season, now it seams to
have morphed into the same crap as the other ones.

I have to say that during my visit to America (I visited an internet

It was explained to me however that this would be true in the South

No, not really...Americans are as a general rule, quite open and
friendly to everybody all across the country.

However, there are degrees and regional differences that lead to the
stereotypical responses such as the above. Large city dwellers in
general (who are concentrated on the coasts, true) tend to be more
insular simply owing to the fact they're surrounded by millions of
people in close quarters routinely. That's no different in the US than
anywhere else in the world afaict.

Things do tend to move a little slower in the south and midwest than the
NE and "more casual" perhaps wouldn't be a bad way to describe the west
as compared to the east coasts metro areas.

"Amurricans" simply love the Brit and/or Aussie accent; it'll draw an
admiring crowd most anywhere. The more dropped aitches the better...

When I was in Des Moines I got to do some volunteer work in a vets
hospital. (Pushing wheelchairs round &c.) The most interesting
Americans I met were working in the hospitals as volunteers (even
though they were republicans to a man.). Lots of people were
fascinated that a "Limey" was doing a bit of volunteer work in a vets
hospital.
They even gave me an enitrely undeserved medal for a half-days work.
Everybody had guns. My internet friend had a machine gun and lots of
handguns in the basement.
Also a Mexican themed bar. Everyone had a bar in the basement.
Strange.

LOL! Yes the bar in the basement is almost standard these days. They
say it has to do with stricter drunk driving laws, but I think most of
them just make it easier to drink more.

No. Americans are in general kind and generous. More so in rural areas
and small towns. Somewhat less so in large cities.

We have some real nasty people in London. There exists a stereotype
of American tourists over here. They in general travel in small
frightened groups. There is some truth in this but not entirely so.

Cultural misperceptions abound! If your definition of "nasty" is a tendency to
be hurried and direct (blunt), then you could say, "yes". However, you can't
stereotype behaviors and/or attitudes in a highly multi-cultural, mobile society.

I lived all my life on the East coast, except for 2 years when I lived in the
mid-West in the mid-1960s. I found the mid-Westerners to be highly intolerant
of outsiders, highly defensive of their own way of life (although very quick to
voluteer that they had never traveled out of the state because "why should I;
this is the greatest place in the world!"), and having cultural values that were
at least 30 years behind most of the rest of the US (strongly prejudiced against
women, non-white skinned people, Catholics, Jews, intellectuals, anyone with
political opinions to the left of Attila the Hun).

I grew up in a major urban East coast city that felt as though it were a
miniature United Nations. Multiple accents, cooking smells, ethnic restaurants,
houses of worship, etc. bred tolerance and intellectual curiosity. Fast pace of
life, work fast, get out of work fast, play fast, talk fast, eat fast, etc. But
the citizens tend to be engaged and knowledgeable about issues pertaining to the
entire world - local, regional, national, and international. Nasty! The
nastiest people I ever met were in the mid-West.

When I spoke on the phone to internet friends in the UK and in Holland,
they both told me I didn't sound like they thought I would. They seem
to believe we all are fast talking city dwellers.

The trouble is, you send all this crap out into the world and people
take it as face value.
I think the most surprising thing to me was the poverty I saw in my
travels. And how no-one cares about it.

BTW forget the phone, use Skype, I do, it's free. I skype lots of
people in America.
In the UK we tend to think of Americans as rich, however it was
surprising to me how many are of modest means. I traveled around on
the buses, interesting who you can meet.
Never got to go to a religious nut festival, that would be
interesting. (Holy rollers???)

No, I don't think so. I think most of it depends on what part of your
country you come from and where in the US you visit as to how you will
perceive others.

You have to remember that was in the caucuses, where, in theory at least, only
the Democrats "voted". Yes, there are a lot of liberals in Iowa and Illinois,
but that's an exception. Large cities tend to be more leftist Democrat (which
is why they're all going down the tubes). My guess is that you didn't stay
right in Des Moines, rather a 'burb.

me dangerously liberal, too. (I don't care what consenting adults do
in
private--including the privacy of the doctor's office, I realize that
the
government is the best solution to some--but not all--problems, and
I don't want them to waste money doing it.)

So I'm watching CSI:NY the other night. The CSI's determine that there
is a body buried in a concrete slab at a construction site.

One of the characters is Dr. Sheldon Hawkes. Here's his character bio:
"Hawkes is a Medical Examiner with the NYC Office of the Chief Medical
Examiner (OCME). He was a child prodigy who graduated from college at
eighteen, and by 24 he was a fully board-licensed surgeon."

Guess what? Hawkes is also pretty good with one of these:

To extract the body and take it back to the lab, Hawkes gets behind
one of those bad boys and cuts a perfect rectangle around the body..
These CSI guys can do anything!

They take the huge slab back to the lab and Hawkes begins to extract
the body with - ready for this? - a Dremel tool!

I was laughing my arse off.

When that show was new they actually used real professionals input and
advice to make it realistic. ?That didn't last long.- Hide quoted text -

Ah so that's the reason!
I have to say that during my visit to America (I visited an internet
friend in Iowa) everyone was very kind and generous towards me.
It was explained to me however that this would be true in the South
but folks on the East and West coasts were nasty. * Is this in general
correct?

The South and Midwest are generally friendly, the West more indifferent than
nasty, the Northeast is decidedly nasty. *Liberals (A.K.A. progressives) are
nasty people.

Oh, I don't know about that. *The engineer in the office next door is
proud to be
a liberal, wishes we had socialized medicine (his wife is a doctor).
Nicest
guy I know.

Nice, perhaps, but certainly dumb.

You don't want them to waste money doing what they are the the best
solution for? I agree. The federal government has no authority to
touch "health care" and they certainly are not the best solution,
being *the* problem.
