In my opinion Britain is full of absolute morons I mean some don't even know what their talking about, and if you call one a moron and give evidence for it they will respond by insulting you in very childish manner. Speaking of childish manners the government must either be run by children or chimpanzees (although a chimp could do a better job than Gordon Brown).
"Oh god, what have we done to ourselves?" - Generally what I think these days - first Labour, then the chavs, then the skin heads, now the economy (or Labour - part 2) and the BN-fucking-P getting face time and sympathy!YoUnG205 said:
Well said - also, I fucking hate the chavs, and those idiots who make every single saturday night a no-go zone in the city centres.trelloskilos said:
) think girls with Australian accents are hot...
English girls are too fat. It's not that they are all obese, but i there are a really high proportion of chubby, ugly, mediocre types. There are also too many girls saying shit like "oh my god" right before something mundane like "that's a nice phone." Sure there are "english roses" out there, but they stay indoors. You go out on a night, and the only chicks you'll see will be vomiting in the gutter, crying about their high heels, swearing and getting into fights (more so than guys it seems) or lying on the curb, passed out from alcohol poisoning.
Brits are, like a lot of countries, very fond of the positive stereotypes. They love being told that they have the best sense of humour and comedy in the World, and have a fondness for fair play. But then if you mention their bad teeth or suggest they are stuffy, they go apeshit. Do Brits actually live up to the stereotypes? Some do, some don't. Same everywhere.
Hell, it's the same with Australians. They love the reputation of being great BBQers but don't want to be told that they have terrible comedians.

They didn't get *American* recognition until they toured in America.Radeonx said:
OT: As a Brit myself,...meh. We're alright. On the whole, I prefer American accents to the majority of English accents I've come across. That said, some American accents are atrocious.
This is very true. I have yet to meet a nightlife-ing girl over here of any quality at all - but I prefer bookworms and quieter types, anyway.maninahat said:
Hooliganism, binge-drinking, obesity/awful food, self-depricating humour: these stereotypes can be applied to the English, Scottish and Welsh people, so they are British stereotypes. Yes there are differences between the three countries but there are also similarities that are shared that give Britain a culture as a whole, and stereotypes can be derived from that collective culture.D_987 said:
Well it involve some baby sacrificing... but also I wouldn't have to to math- so really the pros outweigh the conscuddly_tomato said:
Thats all about personal opinion: how you perceive your national identity.D_987 said:
British is a valid classification, because we are all supposed to be a happy family (the U in UK).
Having said that, I get the feeling that there are so many people with bitter feelings that wish we were all completely seperate that it not much of a united kingdom anymore.
OT: Britain has its ups and downs. I quite like the weather here (says a lot about my personality), I like tea and scones (I'm English), I love the countryside and we have some pretty nice cities as well (currently living in Brighton, 'tis a fun place).
It's brilliant, what can I say?
Many people always say "If I could I'd live in...", but I would always choose to stay right where I am. We have our problems, but the English spirit is bonkers funny.
