2. being english i hate everyone who does not talk english properly

Being American i hate everyone who spells color "colour" because its snooty.

well i hate anyone who uses the word pants instead of trousers because it is lazy and stupid

Well I hate you

p.s. The english Suck, they can't cook worth a damn, and they have no dental coverage to speak of. Also, their women are overrated, who agrees with me there?

How come this has become an anti-American thread? You can do that anywhere in CC. I wanted to take a pop at the English, Irish, and even the Welsh, who, by the way, don't even have a proper country, and are in fact just strange-talking Englishmen.

Okay, we'll turn it back towards the English. I am reminded of the saying the English had for the American G.I.'s based in England prior to D-Day. The G.I.'s were accused of be "Over-paid, over-sexed and over here." The G.I.'s responded by saying the English were "Under-paid, under-sexed and . . . under Eisenhower."

just thought i should say that someone has voiced a complaint in cheating and abuse forum saying that this thread is racist and should be dealt with by mods. haven't read it all but just generally guys keep the racism out of it. i know the whole idea of the thread is a bit of a joke but some people can be sensitive to certain issues.

They're called PC police, trying to enforce their radical liberal views on decent society. They are the ones who think Christmas is offensive and saying "merry Christmas" should be banned. They also think that saying "I pledge allegance...one nation under God" is offensive. They deserve to shipped off to a Leper colony.

Save the liberal bashing for the "More fodder for Liberals" or the "Abortion" thread. Please exit the thread stage left, thank you.

I agree with one thing... I think we should find the people who are to "sensitive" and ship them back to Where ever their ancestors came from..I mean this is the forums if people cant hack it then why be here damn it? different people different opinions that is what makes this site so much fun!

I'm American by birth, but I have a multi-problem; multi nationality problem!

I'm 1/4 Serbian, 1/4 Hungarian on my mom's side
on Dad's, I'm English, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh, with a very small touch of French. So, while I hate the French anyway (it's healthy to want to improve a part of yourself, right?) I can't bring myself to hate so much of myself that I also hate the Scottish and Welsh.

[for dummies]

i think people need to be less uptight. i am very scottish and very proud of it. but i can take ribbing and laugh along with it. pacifist and the rest of them should get a sense of humor.

p.s. has anyone seen the movie, so i married an axe murderer? makes fun of the scots so much! great movie

[edmundomcpot]

i heard the funniest thing on friday

"its enough people spell it wrong for long enough they change the word in the dictionary, they call it the american dictionary"

[Serbia]

This is way off topic, but one of my favorite movies now is Sean of the Dead! Great British humour in that, if you like British humour!

So, you're a walking soccer riot just like me.

Cool, nice to see that I'm not alone.

2. being english i hate everyone who does not talk english properly

Being American i hate everyone who spells color "colour" because its snooty.

I think spelling it color is snooty. It was colour first.

Well said Qeee.

also... colour looks better. and confuses noobs.

wow, i didn't intend for that post to become such a divisive issue. I was just trying to show how idiotic it is that we go out of our way to find differences such as a bit of an accent here and there, or an extra letter. CCers are very easily offended!

also, spelling it color wasn't snooty, it was an act of rebellion by Webster trying to create an identity for the new nation, if anything its defiant and rebellious, the completely opposite of snooty

This thread has the possibility of actually GOING SOMEWHERE now that scots, despite british efforts to prevent it, have gotten a nationalist party the majority in their parliament. Just goes to show that you can take a state out of an SMD plurality, but you can't take an SMD plurality out of a state! (bad comparative politics joke for those of who don't get it)

[Bertros Bertros]

Before i get going to be clear I have dandelion wearing, leek eating, coal scraping heritage one side, and thistle spitting, whiskey drinking, haggis catching heritage the other.... that aside I'm English.

Despite British efforts? You mean English efforts? Scotland is part of Britain. And anyway the only person in the whole of the UK who really seems to care whether Scotland stays part of Britain appears to be Gordon Brown, and he is Scottish!


As for the the color/colour thing well I can live with that but for the love of all things lexicographical please stop putting Zs in words instead of Ss, OK!

[Stopper]

And more to the point, the Scottish Nationalists don't yet have a majority in the Scottish parliament, and ain't ever likely to either...
