Haha that's fucking stupid. The only difference in the English and American dialect is a few differently used words and a pussy accent. I'm just considering calling you a total dumbass.

^ are you ever positive?

It's known as a pussy accent because american girls love it, meanin we GET all the pussy, so pricks like you can't :P

ATleast I ASSUME you meant English accents, its very likely you where referring to your own with that statement.

OHhh WELL, at least we get an Ed-yoo-kay-shun.

I don't get sports. I really don't. What's the point in watching a bunch of guys you don't know throw around a ball? I could see how playing the game yourself might be entertaining, but watching it is just so boring and pointless. But they hype it up into some big spectacle as if I'm supposed to be impressed by these guys. The most ridiculous part is when they pay these cunts millions of dollars! Meanwhile, people who actually do stuff for us like the farmers who grow our food and the sweatshop workers that make our clothes are the poorest people on earth. But you don't know about their misery because the TV has distracted the public with sports and fashion and celebrities and other things that don't matter.

Fuck you man. Just because you see me get offended by an ignorant statement doesn't mean I'm sad or something. That's an irrelevent question anyways. In fact, you're irrelevent. You have no business in this conversation.

I'm not going to get into it anymore with you Englishmen. Why can't you just realise that your statement was ignorant? Was it how I responded? Fine, I apoligise. Let me try again.
Dear sir, your statement that American dialect is simply a dumbed-down version of English offended me. I suggest you either back up your opinion or retract you statement.

I couldn't agree more. I see so many people spending their time keeping track of sports stats, and I just can't help but think sports are just meant to distract use from more important things. Honestly, C-span isn't boring, yet whenever I mention something I saw they just give me a weird look and continue talking about something that has no matter in their lives. I'm not saying I don't have interests, but I don't talk about them like they affect our surroundings. It angers me that farmers are often some of the poorest (in developed countries) and that companies can benefit from child labor and foreign labor. Fortunately, I just heard on Fox that the Democrats' new plan is to move focus away from controversial issues and more on rural America. Hopefully this will encourage the Republicans to do the same so no matter who is the next president, normal Americans will have it easier paying for bills and such.

i dig the english, lock, stock, the fuckin' lot. especially chicks with an english accent. shine ya shoes guvna.
