Originally posted by sh76 It's nice to have one ethnic group that you're allowed to pick on without being called a racist, bigot or hatemonger, isn't it? Keeps life interesting.

True , but what about ... Football and the English language ? You can go any where in the world [almost ] and you wont escape from those two babies .....
Originally posted by Seitse When talking to the [b]average Joe on both sides of the pond, it is
quite amazing how similar the attitudes of English and Americans are
regarding the world beyond their borders.
For example:
* Both see their currency as a matter of cultural identity, while it would
make more sense for Joe the Plumber to have the Amero and for Larry
the Sheep We
also would like to thank Rush Limbaugh for his observations when
editing this post.[/b][/b]
this is just the usual baseless garbage from the site's most pointless troll (aka seitse).
simplistic, tedious, predictable, ignorant, but then again most of your posts are like that...

Think you'd be struggling to claim the English invented football.
You know when the English are in town for a match, though.
Originally posted by Palynka So your implication is that the others (that pick on other groups) are not "racists, bigots or hatemongers"?
It's either one or the other. Or hypocrisy.
Yes, it's the former. I think people can poke a little fun at and/or gently tease ethnic groups without being racists or bigots. However, unless your targets are White/Western/Christians, you are likely to be labeled a bigot for doing so.
Actually I sort of recognise the original post as quite accurate. however apart from the currency, fat, language bit I think it can be applied to nearly every nation.
As for the dig at degrees that are not mathematics and science, that is an appalling lack of cultural awareness to assume that life is just about these subjects. It would be a dull world if it was full of mathematicians, I am just trying to imagine the annual maths assoc conference lasting 365 days a year...
English & Americans: similar world views
