i think canadians and americans are the best when it comes to speaking english in the sense that no matter how fast they talk you can more then likely understand them (unless there from the south). but people from Scotland and England and around those areas when they speak fast it all turns into one big ranbol of words to me that makes no sense what so ever.. almost like reading one of my post i guess.

I'm sorry but you have no place demeaning the way people talk when you don't know the difference between your and you're or the difference between there their or they're.

and i know you meant southern accents because I'm from the south but my parents arent so I dont have a southern accent.

I especially thank BritIan for brit-pop and all their other kick ass music.

I love the British and their culture, history, language, etc. I have a large amount of Brit friends from the International Camp at which I'm a counselor. Hell, I love the Isles in general!

What pisses me off is, what appears to be, a constant need to bash Americans whilst putting yourselves on some sort of exalted pedestal. I don't understand why you think it's needed? We don't come onto the forums and look for any chance we can get to discount the Brits. I know most Americans don't do this in their daily lives either. I do know that a lot of English folk will constantly go around and defame the American culture or nation at any given chance. I'm not stereotyping here, I've been told this by several English friends. While I understand our government may not please everyone, in fact it doesn't please most Americans, why must you project onto the citizens, especially ones on this board - where that should be a non-issue.

It's not like any other country has a spotless record when it comes to government related issues anyway, should we get into that? I don't think it's necessary.

As for the self deprecating American, I'm looking at you swim, you really have no idea how good you f*cking have it. And if you think that another country's music scene is a reason for you to bash your own country, then get the hell out. You are discounting the lives of millions upon billions of people that have come before you, and fought for your individual rights that changed the face of the world. I'm not saying that America is an better than anyone else, and those countries have had the same sacrifices - but if you don't respect ours - then you have the freedom to live somewhere else. Go.

However, America hating is trendy nowadays. So keep traveling with the herd, sheep.

EDIT: After reading this - I come off a bit angry - and I just wanna summarize it with...

Where's the love?
