Many of the spelling "mistakes" that you are taking great pleasure in pointing out,are not caused through ignorance or lack of intelligence - but are simply our wonderful regional accents!
It also shows the difference in our sense of humour.You obviously couldn't spot a subtle joke if it hit you in the face!
i.e. Scotch - a play on words(Scotland is famous for whiskey???get it)?
Never regions - as in never makes any use of it !
If you had ever heard a south Londoner speak you would know that we never say"th" - but pronounce it as either "v" or'f ".
Resorting to insults & misjudged assessments of other people's intelligence really gives a good indication of your level of intellect.
So basically - in words that you can comprehend - Get over yourself !.

I spent many wonderful years in love with a woman I met in Bondi Beach, NSW. By elitist English standards, she would be considered as nothing more than a Cockney. I found her to be witty and brilliant and a great mother. Her father was what you would call, derisively, a busker...A wonderful gent by my NYC standards, regardless of your anal brit attention to accents. She, too, found the humor in the pronunciations of words like"muvva" in place of "mother," so, in the words of my many Aussie friends (who show up you bloody poms for the pompous twerps you really are), "Piss off, poofter."

 

Isn't this thread a nice reflection of society nowadays.

Thanks for pointing it out so clearly.

 

oh yeah, no problem there sir.

 

you are so totally full of shit, it's beyond amazing...if you have any friends, do they actually fall for this low-grade crap?

 

Right, altho Airdog has ruined what could have been a damn good thread, I'll still post

Most British teens are not very accepting. I know this from experience as A - I am a British teen but B - I wasn't accepted because I am..."different"

Most I have been in contact with were brought up with very prejudice views and put everyone into Minimal Groups. ie Manchester United football fans may discriminate against say Liverpool supporters.

Its a very ethnosentric country, and it is a very multi-cultured country.

Some people call it immaturity, others call it ignorance, but it is mainly down to fearing something that is new/different.

Hope this helped a little

 

This is the last reply I will make to this thread,as I find trading insults very tiresome.
There are a few faults,however,that I would like to point out in your last statement.
(1)Australians/New Zealand accents sound nothing like British - in fact to us,they sound remarkably like Americans!
(2) There is no way that we could ever consider an Aussie to sound cockney.
The definition of a cockney is someone who was born within the sound of the Bow Bells,in Bow in East London.
As Bow no longer has any bells,I imagine that there cannot be many true cockneys left alive.
Londoner's don't all have accents like Hugh Grant or Princess Diana.If you read my post VERY CAREFULLY - I'm sure that even you will see that I am saying that I speak like a 'cockney'.
If I write as I speak,you assume that I am unintelligent & make spelling mistakes.
If I write using correct English,you accuse me of being a 'pompous twerp'.
You obviously feel threatened when it is clear that you are not intellectually dominant,& use insults to hide the fact.
Just one last thing"Piss off,poofter"
I do not find this offensive.
Only school boys find homosexuality offensive,threating & funny.This is the 21st century you know!

What the hell happened to this thread, i was reading it then all of a sudden it went to shit. I live in Scotland and am half scottish, anything u have to ask about this country please tell me.

The English did ban the Celtic language and also the scottish coat of arms flag. The Rampant Lion, its still illegal to fly this flag.

 

Of course in britain as far as I can tell there arent many obviously different ethnic groups in british schools in large amounts. Not 20% blacks or hispanics or asians. Nobody around where I live is going to nit pick about an unusual accent.

 

I know this is basically a dead thread, but, that quote doesn't sit with me right somehow.

Motown produced many great Soul and R&B legends and artists in it's era. Music was good, great, and grand then.

Fast forward to today...2002 (almost 2003) in the good ol' US of A. Hip Hop, like airdog stated, is the predominant popular music in this country.

Why though?

Most of the stuff that I hear on the radio, and see on MTV, is the bling-bling, jiggy, ghetto fabulous type of Hip Hop. This is what appeals to the masses.

There's more to it than that though. There are so many Hip Hop artists who are lesser known to the general public. These artists are the ones who actually have some substance to their lyrics, and ideas behind their beats and samples.

I guess I'm just saying that yeah, Hip Hop crosses ethnic lines, but there's really not much to it. Which is basically saying, the people who are listening to it don't have much substance themselves. It's just braincandy, that is being fed to the fat, consuming souls who will eat anything up. You know what I mean?


Anyways, in answer to the original question posted... I don't really know. I've never been to Britain. But, it seems like Europe is more accepting in some really important issues and aspects that America is not, and that's why America is really being held back from growing along with the rest of the world.

 

Speaking as a Brit I don't think this is true. Like all things there is no clear cut, delineating aspect of society you can point to and say we are better than you here.

Only in the last 12 months we have had racially motivated riots in some cities. Members of far right wing, fascisistic parties have been elected to public office, in those cities. Several pressure groups campaign to get more ethnic groups on TV, in office and serving as police officers. I think you'll find the same is mirrored on mainland Europe.

The thing all European countries are struggling with at the moment is economic migrants/asylum seekers from eastern european countries and the mid-east. There has been a right broo-ha-ha for some years over a refugee center in Sonngat. Basically, it's located within easy reach of the Channel Tunnel rail terminals and is a popular destination for refugee's. From their they risk their lives hiding under freight trains to get into the UK.

The center was closed a few days ago and the UK agreed to take 1500 asylum seekers off Frances' hands. Last night 12 Iraqi's where given board and lodgings. Today the press are up in arms.

 

Pease explain the Mods vs Rockers violence that never registered a blip on American radar...

Mabe its because he had a Vespa or bad breath.Lambretta's were cool.

 

the riot that never happened

ok

the press created the rivalry
the press exaggerated incidents
the press blew everything out of proportion
the press instigated shit

that is still a long way from outright fabrication

what really happened in clacton? margate? brighton?
