Umm...no, we haven't been taught anything. It is the image YOU guys have presented to the rest of world. We fallen in love with your princess Diana and the royal family saga that even after her death we still want to know more.
I certainly didn't/don't want her as my representative, nor do many others. You saying that is just another reason why I found your posts about England to be uninformed. We never presented her, her and her stupid followers are the reason a lot of Americans feel we're still stuck in the victorian ages and adhere to every British stereotype in the book. The amount of ignorant Americans I've met who feel "Wouldn't it be funny if I said 'bloody hell' and spoke of tea while I talk to this guy from England" is sheerly worrying. It's stupid. You're in for a shock if you ever come here. Fantasy will go out the window in terms of what you've said you like so far.
Princess Diana was just as pointless as anyone else, infact, THE most pointless and fake of all the "royals". So it just proves you do actually suck up whatever you're fed. Over here the only people who loved her were stupid patriots.

And there are countless other places I've never been visited. And I may have a "boring" impression of them. Until I visit them then my mind will change. Uneducated? I'm not sure...Unaware maybe.
Well considering you're not even thinking to question the image of England that you've been fed, I'd say it is uneducated, not unaware. Why? Because you're not trying to make yourself aware of what it's really like here.

Unless American Television is lying to me (another bag of tricks I'm not going to endulge) I've seen her giving speaches in her palace. Believe it or not...If I'm in England I'd love to hear them. Curiosity kill the cat.
Yeah she does those once a year (Christmas speech) or unless something serious goes down. As I said, uneducated on the country it would seem. Her speeches are nothing but drivel. She's so out of touch with this country that it actually makes anti-monarchists cases stronger.

That is his opinion on what maybe a better place. I'm the tourist...I'm the one paying to see...I want my money's worth. Even if it is a crappy tour I'd like to see it with my own eyes.
You'd rather stand and look at Buckingham Palace from behind a fence, very far away than go inside a building with rich and interesting history?
Haha, money's worth.
