Here is a question I have for everyone on this board. Tell me do you think that British Society is more accepting of people who are different like the Handicap for instance hwne compaired to American Society. You don't see too many british teens shooting up their high-schools
I don't know anything of British society but... The amount of pressure put on seemingly "normal" kids to do good in school is extreme. Some kids just can't handle it. If you want this thread to focus on why there are more school shootings in America you can ask yourself are American teenagers less accepting than British teens? But it does boil down to each society.
pshaw! you Brits are extremely biased re: your own countrymen's varied and multitudinous accents! ...Yorkshire, Liverpool, Cockney, etc, etc, as if it somehow is an important indicator of something or other. Didn't the Brits outlaw the Celtic language, the wearing of kilts and tartans, the bagpipes, highland dancing, and the like? I love it when Europeans think they have something to teach America about tolerance. It wasn't very long ago that Europe gave us Hitler, Mussolini, and other popular sleazebags as leaders of nations. Nobody kills eachother in large numbers regarding their sports teams allegiances here, either. We wouldn't have held welcoming parades and increased our productivity if The Third Reich marched into our cities the way the French did, as well. Now the pussies at the EU think they can teach Americans about democracy! What a load! To quote George Orwell; "England is the most class-ridden country under the sun. It is a land of snobbery and privilege, ruled largely by the old and silly."
Didn't the Brits outlaw the Celtic language, the wearing of kilts and tartans, the bagpipes, highland dancing, and the like? NO The Victorians invented the Kilt so the King or Queen could look like they were Scotch!Real Highland dress,is a really long blanket wrapped around.
Didn't the Brits outlaw the Celtic language, the wearing of kilts and tartans, the bagpipes, highland dancing, and the like? Your right they did!in 1746 Mind you,that's like saying didn't the Americans kill most of the Indians in America. It happened years ago!

I refer you to the Highland clearances. The history of England is rife with stories indicating the oppressive subterfuge of any "alien" cultures. The history of the US (granted, we stole the land, fair and square(a joke, ok?)--and what of 'stralia, NZ etc etc), especially in the last 5 decades, is the most INCLUSIONARY in history... but who are "indiginous people" anyway? All peoples are indiginous to this planet. There are skeletal remains of caucasoids in the "new world" that appear to pre-date the Asiatics who crossed the land-bridge into what is now known as Alaska. Aditionally, the numbers of "Native Americans" alleged to have been living here have been proven to be a grossly inflated figure. This land was by-and-large uninhabited. Plus, there was constant tribal warfare---it's not like the white people crashed Woodstock. The Hurons were particularly barbaric, and it was always about the same old shit--power, territory, raw materials, etc. I lived for many years in the American west, and most folks I met laughed at the stupid, guilt-ridden term, "Native Americans." "Native" implies a noble savage at best, and "Americans" is what, a tribute to Amerigo Vespucci---an agent of European exploitation? Call a dude a Navajo; a Cree; a Cherokee; a Muncie; an Iroquois; even an INDIAN(which is largely preferred)---but the folks I hung with mostly mock the term "Native Americans." It reeks of liberal white guilt. At present, we are busy making Billionaires out of Indian tribes through the granting of Casino licenses...licenses that, outside of Nevada, would be impossible to attain...what has England ever done but retreat after their genocidal (see Irish Potato Famine) urges failed---they cut their losses and ran. Excepting, of course, Northern Ireland.
from Odin: The Victorians invented the Kilt so the King or Queen could look like they were Scotch!Real Highland dress,is a really long blanket wrapped around. [/B][/QUOTE] the word is "Scottish"...Scotch is a fine whiskey...something the Brits are yet to produce. LOL--Odin, the Nordic, liberal, self-hating god! "A thousand Swedes run through the weeds: Chased by one Norwegian."
Pease explain the Mods vs Rockers violence that never registered a blip on American radar...US popular music has always crossed ethnic lines. Look at the domination of the pop charts that Motown established in the '60s...the predominant pop music in the USA is at present, HIP-HOP. Kindly wake-the-fuck-up before presenting your ignorant impressions.
if you are talking to me I would kindly reconsider if I were you, you try to say some crazy shit like that and you'll find yourself in trouble partner
who, pray tell, is AROSTROTLE? please educate me: ps: save the candyass threats--I've been in more serious shit than you could ever imagine, tuff guy.
First off, I know what you are hitting at, and I am not tring to mock/immitate the great ARISTOTLE. If anyone is the stupid fuck here, its you because you look at a name that is spelled similarly to anthor name and automaticly assume thats what the person ment. Don't waste anymore of my time, pal. Yeah, you tell me about this 'airdog' character while your at it. sounds like a children's cartoon to me.
again, little boy; please illuminate re: Arostrotle... have you jerked-off in every room of your parent's house yet?
came back editing your message I see, I really don't care for the treats - it was just something I added to emphizise my tone. please try to play attention.
we're nto here to talk about Aristotle, we're talking about british and american societies and compairing them, but your ADD ass can't afford to pay attention worth a lick. and if you really need to know about him then try this resource right here and this one here
little boy, dealing with you is like stepping in dog shit--- I just scrape my shoe off and move along. When you "lern to spel", please get back to me. I can hardly wait to be uplifted via your scary bank of knowledge... just a hint: if you can discover the way to alter your illiterate pseudonym, you might lessen your likelyhood to be considered as a total cretin. In your favor, I will concede an attempt on your part to discuss an IDEA, however unlearned you appear to be.
