    What?

    Exactly. Just not even quite sure what to even say about BBAD's comment. The U.S. isn't exactly it's own ethnicity- it's people from everywhere. It's not called a "melting pot" for nothing.

    Hahaha...
    yea, I've talked about that song (usually with deviate) numerous times on here. Pretty much because I once saw a hat at Spencer's that said "America! Fuck yeah!" and it cracked me up. To the point where I really, really wanted to buy it. I found the humor right up my alley, even though I didn't know where the saying came from. I would have bought it except I couldn't figure out where a mother in her 30's would wear it..kept thinking "too bad I'm not a frat boy or some college kid because then I could so pull that off"- but yeah, that's when I'd heard about that song. (I do remember it from way back but had forgotten). Funny stuff, that.

    My contact has been nill and I have no bad feelings toward them. I just found the accent to be different and first thing came to mind was Austin powers. I know they exaggerated the movies and they are just that, A try at humor in a movie.

    Center of attention, I know of people who are attention whores and have to be in 'the mix' all the time. But I wonder how that does look from outside the box when you say most are like that.

    I can see it, But I know it wouldn't be me unless certain issues arose. Im a humorous person and play jokes all the time, But don't do it for 'attention', Just fun.

    You mean you have one word for two separate and distinct 'things'? crazy.

    I think there are rude and polite people from all over the world. I recently read an article written by an Irish that had traveled extensively in America and he thought Americans were way too friendly. I've been told by an Eastern European that Americans are overly polite and use words like "please" and "thank you" way too much, which I thought was kind of weird.

    and I've met some really rude people from various cultures. Rudeness is an epidemic.

    Well, obviously the accent is going to be different.
    The first accent you thought of was absolutely terrible.
    Watch more British films.

    Go to the conspiracy forum and look at all the people who think the NWO means no more USA.

    Check out how many Americans think the UN is trying to take all of their guns from them.

    It goes on.

    On a personal note, it might not hold true...

    ...but just think of anything you think is being taken from you or put on you...

    ...what's your feeling of socialism?
    ...the UN?

    It doesn't take much to think it's all about you.

    Trust me.

    That's because they work less strenuously. It's still europe after all. I respect Europeans, after all, that is my roots. But none of you understand us. Regardless of (European) location. Although you look to us for guidance in many ways :sunny:

    We are all in this together.

    But you are a genius. Written dialect is what really matters, afterall.

    Until we figure out how to become communal, without being worthless hippies or socialist nazis, humanity will continue on this trend until it implodes. The written artists are what ultimately guides humanity.

    What it boils down to. If you were randomly on the streets in the US and someone was trying to kill you. And you were scared and yelling I'M ODON HELP ME.. I would fight force with force, and save you. Even if my only force was stun then kick.

    Can you say the same?

    I do not and never have put the AP movies and 'real life' brits in the same category. It was way overboard and a try if you're market for humor.
    If you were to meet a person tomorrow that's American and he says howdy, You might think redneck and obviously a long way from home. I don't laugh out loud, Its the inner chuckle when it hits a funny nerve.


    I stay out of there, Im pretty sure just reading something might get me banned. But im open to all angles and sides if there is some fact based info and its not a 'shoot from the hip' out to get us crap. They are out to get us ALL and always have been, Ill leave it at that.

    The UN can suck a fart out of my asshole and we should have never started or been a part of. It has caused more crap than I care to mention. Plus the fact, Ill say it till the day I die, Going to send my family into safe haven and 'come and get them' and I wont win but I will sure as hell take more than a few down with me.

    Socialism can share the same fart. I worked for what I own and im sure as fuck tired of paying for lowlife "handout" kings that milk the government tit.

    I know it don't take much and I just gave ya a good list.



    Exactly. If I saw a person in harm, I don't look away, Im going to end it. The 'mind you're own' only goes so far. Only bad thing is, If I helped anyone that was not all one color, Im now a racist. It wouldn't stop me though and ill do what I have to with any force needed, If situation called for it.

    Why cant we hash out of problems ourselves?

    Just because im blunt and use colorful words, Thats because I tell it how it is and don't sugar coat it and I guess its a 'right' I have.

    Haha I love this thread. I realize Europeans need us for our brazen voice. As ineloquent as it may be.

    It always struck me British children seem more articulate than a lot of American adults :eek:... mosty based on doc films and TV,
    never had much real life contact with British folk.:hat:

    British accents make me smile though, I watched too much Monty Python as a kid :D lol
