Lumiere likes to bash the USA to the exclusion of his own country.
Take another look at my first post in this thread. I said the mother is British.
Dude, you are a trip. As if we forgot how you titled the thread that you started..." If you wonder why American girls think they are princesses"
and then you posted this...

You only have yourselves to blame.
Interestingly, the one word more responsible for the pussificiation of america than any other word is 'appropriate'
American chicks use this word all the time going on and on and on about whether your behaviour is 'appropiate' or not.
Pretty much all the other cultures I have experienced all around the world, which is a lot, this word is very rarely used in this context.
I would say in most non pussified cultures that I have experienced a chick will be looked at by dudes like she is acting retarded if she even spoke like that.
If you are American and you want to stop the pussification of your culture then following suit would be a good start.
Personally, the only person who decides if my behaviour is fucking appropriate or not is me as long as I am not doing anything illegal.
This is complete misdirection to bash America based on the behavior of some cow from your country. I was pissed that other guys here fell for it.
Also, if anyone else wants insight as to where Lumiere is coming from, check out his very recent comments under the Exile article on Roosh's blog page. They were made the exact same day that he posted this thread.
Stay with me here:
He embarks on a "my country is better than your country" dick measuring contest between the UK and the USA, comparing inventions made by nationals of each country, even though I try to persuade him to the idea that he's arguing with essentially no-one. I even concede his points about the inventions that he cites, but he goes on to not give a millimeter to acknowledge the USA's contributions.
More accurately, he cherry picks poor examples from the USA, devaluing them, and then uses the best examples from his country, refusing to concede a little when his reasoning might be off a bit, such as is the case with his example that Television was invented by Brits and benefits the world. (Using extremely weak counterpoints, btw, Lumiere. I mention its negative effect on government and power and you mention The Beatles on Ed Sullivan.)
My point is that my man has an obvious superiority complex, likely fueled by overcompensation for an underlying sense of inferiority. This is indicated by the need to constantly assert his countries supposed superiority. This thread is just another example of that complex, although here he is just bashing the USA.
Here is a clarifying question that illustrates what I am talking about:
Would any of you guys from the USA, in a million years, think to start a thread entitled " If you wonder why British girls think they are princesses". Probably not. Because you do not live there, you have zero care about whether or not British girls are princesses. It just wouldn't occur to you because it doesn't affect you in any way whatsoever. But it occurs to Lumiere, because he is obsessed with putting down the USA due to the aforementioned complex. Also, you have to keep in mind that due to the cultural similarity, British women are more similar to USA women than they are different. Therefore, this example could have been easily and more appropriately used to criticize his own countywomen. In fact, it was one of his countrywomen in the article. The author of the article wasn't even as self deceptive, as he/she correctly labels the baby "British" . In contrast, Lumiere uses the opportunity to misdirect and bring the focus the USA culture. That's some devious deception and self deception, and very funny to witness.
The irony is great, because there are probably a thousand examples that he could have chosen from American society, and I would have had no contention with. But the fact that he made such a piss poor decision to make his point with a product of his culture is entertainment to me.
