A little aside from the Top Gear thing, but oh well, look at the thread.
Who here would decide, " I am heading out with rocks, pitchforks, guns, or whatever" if they were caused offence? I mean, if somebody did something hugely offensive to your country, would you say, "I am going to get them for this"? I just think I would have too much on and simply not enough time to get that worked up about it, I think I could offer considerate offended behaviour without resorting to 2000BC. I can't even think what would offend me this much to bother doing this. They should be storming the presidents casa like that not chasing down Jeremy bloody Clarkson (although it wasn't him in the end but the production crew).
