You are obviously mental and in need of sectioning.
Quote: zooo @ June 13, 2007, 5:33 PMWe don't really hate Americans, it's just tradition to pretend that we do. Like the French.
I can assure you it's no pretence!
Come on seriously, come on over to the Pepsi-side...you know it's better, that's why Pepsi is outselling Coke Cola nowadays 
The Indians use Coke as a fertiliser as its cheaper than real fertiliser.
I use Coke as mouthwash so i can lose all my teeth and look American 
No, only jokes.
A lot of the American stereotypes for us are weird though. They say Brits have bad teeth, the worst teeth i've ever seen is on Ken Dodd and Prince Charles, oh and Sherrie Blair, but the majority of us have pretty good teeth. Aparently, we are all posh to. As a working class student i can say that i am sick of the middle and upper classes stealing the working class man's tradition of binge drinking and hooliganism. So the stereotype is in reverse. Also, i personally hate tea, i can't stand it. I love crumpets though. "Tea-time" is actually for me time for beans on toast, or gammon and egg, or a nice pie.
In closing, i prefer the American accent to the Geordie accent! And the Welsh accent to (but only if you are a woman).

Yes, I know. It's crazy, isn't it. They think we're a all a bunch of Hooray Henrys. They should see Only Fools or something, something far removed from their percieved perception of us.
But, you know, I suppose BBC America viewers have the right idea.
They got money and time to think about bugger all else!
It's same anywhere though, every country has it's stereotype. Like all French people wear striped shirts and berets, are sex mad, stink of onions and the women have hairy armpits....oh no actually that's true isn't it?
Apart from the onions thing.
They actually stink of garlic.
The "Allo Allo" fan clubs in town. The french near me don't dress in that nieteen twenties school text book way. Though they do have bad teeth and kind of smell rustic. But there aint any garlic medalions. honest.
It's completely true about the weird stereotypes Americans have of your Brits.
Before I went to England, I was told that all Brits were cold, unfriendly people with bad teeth, all thanks to their crap food, who think they are much better than you.
However, when I got there, I saw that most everyone I met was very friendly and helpful and interested to hear about my life and had great smiles and were very polite. The food was pretty good too. No worse than what we have here. Actually...a lot better. You have a much healthier way of life.
Sadly, most stereotypes of Americans are true. Fat...loud...impatient, uncaring, stupid, ignorant, arrogant...*sigh*...just a wonderful place we got here...*cough*

rofl
And 'Allo 'Allo! is immense.
Actually, I think that in order to live in England, one should have to prove to hate the French. It's mandatory.
I don't hate the French. I hate racism, xenophobia and homophobia. All of which are regularly present in the postings of our administrator, Aaron.

Badge I hate to say you are a bit over sensitive but irony isn't just a rogue state in the middle east.
Just fact. Or, if you prefer, opinion. Not oversensitivity.
