You used the word Jap?!ðŸ˜

Rednecks? But that's not really a broad enough term is it.
I forgot about 'Yanks' 😵
No worries dude, I don't really give a crap about too much that goes on in the rest of the world, as long as it doesn't touch my part of the world, so I don't get together with friends to seethe and foam at the mouth about americans 😛
Originally posted by CrowleyBut it does touch your part of the world, Crowley...indirectly so to speak...Redneck..yeah, that's a broad term that describes a certain culture here in the States...misunderstood, but probably some of the nicest Americans you will meet are rednecks...and they are NOT all racists as projected...by the way, a lot of rednecks like Jack Daniels...LOL...so, could you be a South African redneck? 😀

This loosely translates into the SA equivalent of redneck 🙂
But I'm a redneck with STYLE

You know ian, there was a time I actually thought you could contribute to a debate.
Now you just waste everyone's time.
I have no problem saying this outright - there is not a single attempt to use brain power in your posts anymore. They're nothing more than attention-grabbing trolls.
Which is a shame. Sometimes there are valid issues to be debated between Europeans and Americans because of our similar goals and interests yet different viewpoints on approach. But the only thing you strive to do is terminate any debate.
All I ask is that when a real debate appears, please stay away.
Thanks.
