I watched an actual Kennedy Documentry last night, and while its not really a Boston accent in todays day an age (though a long-A'd can't is still around) I just don't understand how you can't love that accent.

I've seen The Departed, Good Will Hunting, Gone Baby Gone, and they're films located in Boston. I don't know how authentic it is of a Boston accent, I think the Boston accent is strange sounding because it's non-rhotic. e.g. "Pawk the ca-ah in the ca-ah pawk."

imo the American Indians have the best sounding English accent, they have a down to Earth attitude and it shows in their English accent it's cool & calm.

I'm pretty sure he meant the accent, as in the Australian accent

Why so much hate on the Australian accent? Most of you haven't even heard a real Australian accent anyway, just those screwed-up attempts at them in movies and parodies and whatnot.

I don't think there's any accent I find particularly bad. I think I prefer to talk to someone with an accent different from my own, if anything. Just not when I call customer service.
Well, as you know, everything's been outsourced to India
