    The Brits drink tea because they're not man enough for coffee. The Americans have guns because they're not man enough to beat each other with night sticks.

    Sometimes I wonder what the Brits think when they hear our deep southern accents. Can you tell the differance or do we all just speak american english to your ears.

    I'm British but drink a lot of coffee.In England we still get a lot of American culture.There are things that piss me off about America but also a lot of things that we Brits think are cool about America.I Sometimes wonder how the American accent developed.is there some Irish in there?I recognize that there are regional differences in accent in America but it's spread out over a wide area.England is a small country but you only have to travel a hundred miles to hear wildly different accents.America and Britain share similar social problems to some extent.

    Gosh you'll be raking up 1776 again :)
    US + UK Differences: I find:-
    (I’ll go for 5ive)
    (a) US folk are more ‘in your face’ patriotic whereas us Brits are stubbornly so
    (b) US folk are more “this is me and this is what I am” Brits are more reserved as to their assets
    (c) US folk need Coffee, Brits drink it
    (d) US folk Charge into the battle, Brits wait for their moment
    (e) US folk believe that they know best, Brits let them think that
    No offence you chaps - lol
    :)

    It really all depends on where you are.. when immigrants came to the US.. a lot of them relocated to areas that mimicked their old country... lot of Polish.. Scandinavian.. Norwegian in the midwest... Southern states are more French based.. since the french use to own Louisiana and all that.. It really just depends on the dominant immigrant at the time

    @NewYorker41696 Lol, Argos is a shop that has counters with loads of giant laminated books. You find what you want in the book (they have everything in the world ever) and do a stock check on a little machine with the item's special code. You write down the code and after paying, give it to someone behind the counter and they'll vanish into a door and bring out whatever you ordered lol. Truly a magical place.

    Being from Québec.

    I don't respect either group, seeing both as abominations. For me the only diffence is that filthy inbred queen's face is on our money.

    Humans don't stand much of a chance with violent sub-human mutated baboons intent on destroying at any cost. A sub-human and incestuous virus that's sole purpose is to cause the maximum amount of suffering before it kills.

    My right to free speech
    And I didn't attack anyone personally. So I'm entitled to my opinion.

    i don't have to like every black person

    but i shouldn't be entitled to hate black people generally

    generically speaking.

    But I'm not hating people based on their skin couleur.
    I'm not even hating a "race."

    I hate the entire "concept" and everything that the anglosphere lives by.
    Thats what makes it/them an abomination. It's not something natural.
    Instead it's an "undefinable thing" that polutes, spreads war like a plague
    and markets a propoganda message that makes people want to be stupid.

    Anglophones aggressively force replication of their culture like a virus.
    Causinig suffering and killing all that gets a chance to infect.

    Hey Roamy: I thought of this great idea for the new millenium, post 9/11: It is not romantic to be nationalistic. Though loving mankind is for the wanton failure of Ethics. One must be honest to the blood like the memory of the Pirates off the coast of Peru, bla, bla.
