<but (blasphemy), that's frickin' ancient history!

It still gets churned out, though. Very hard for an outsider to decide whether to cheer for a hero or boo the same person as a traitor.

Fucking feels good...I don't consider it cursing, but an expression of overwhelming joy.
Sid   Mon Jun 05, 2006 5:04 pm GMT
Sure it does...only when the gal has big boobs and hot pussy.
Guest (Molly)   Mon Jun 05, 2006 5:05 pm GMT
Fuck it. I always have hot pussy and have a set of average large boobs, too.
Sid   Mon Jun 05, 2006 5:07 pm GMT
Well I can fuck you hard, then, Molly. just let me slide my long, fat dick into your hole and go in and out.

Damn, Sid, you're making me wet just by reading this!
I want an orgasm...they feel AMAZING!!!!! I remember I fucked this guy one night (ex boyfriend) and he gave me three orgasms in 7 hours. He kept licking my pussy and squeezing my tits at the same time. He had me moaning so loud I'm pretty sure my neighbors could hear it. I live in a quiet, rich sort of neighborhood.

um................. hell no. Irish English does not come close to American English.

Well, to us, many Irish accents are very easy to understand. Some, are even better than RP, because they pronounce their r's, which make them even easier to understand than RP. I think it depends on the dialect. Other Irish accents are very difficult to understand, but others sound almost the same as our accent.

Hmm. I think you got the wrong impression of Americans. Americans don't hate the English at all. The average American doesn't know that much about England. I interviewed several people around here and asked what they thought of England and the English. None of them had any animosity towards England. In fact, I've never met a single person that hated the English. Most Americans don't know that much about England unless they've been there, except that that's where the Queen and Royal family lives.

What's funny is that we don't hear much about England except for things about the royal family. The people in modern day America, really don't care much about history, or even remember it very well. In school, we don't learn very much about British history, just American history. Most Americans don't care that much about history anyway. We learn about some of the kings of England, but most of them seemed to be much better than the French kings.

Most Americans don't really care about this, and don't have any animosity towards Britain because anything longer than a couple of decades to us is the same as ancient history, and we like the current monarchy just fine. In American history classes, we learn that we decided to become independent from Britain because they charged tax on tea. None of us have any grudges against England because of this either, although we *really* do not like having to go thru the "Other Nationalities" section of the customs station when we travel to the UK, watching the Europeans whiz by, in the shorter line for EU people, because we don't think of ourselves as "foreigners" when we go over there, and we *really* don't take too kindly to being considered foreigners.

The reason the "bad guy" in many films has a British accent, is because of what the "British" accent sounds like to us--and by the "British" accent, I mean pretty much any accent in England , Australia or New Zealand that does not sound like a Scottish/Welsh/Irish accent (some of the Northern ones do), or like an extreme Cockney accent. All the rest of the accents in those countries (especially RP, but even the ones that sound fairly lower class in those countries), as well as our own Boston Brahmin accent, sound educated, articulate, upper class, and how very rich people talk. They sound very correct, and a little affected. And yes, I know that Scotland is part of Britain, but Americans would never call their accent British. A Cockney is also distinct from *the* British accent.

In movies, the "bad guy" usually has lots of power over the other characters, and tends to be rich--thus they speak in an accent that portrays this. God usually, but not always has the "British" accent in movies. We also tend to think of very well educated speakers in Europe to have something close to the "British accent", probably because that's what they learn. Thus, foreigners from Europe, tend to sound British to us. So, in the movies, the foreigners who know English fluently are assigned the British accent. For example: the French Jean-Luc Picard, as well as his family, even though they are supposedly in France, they all have the British accent (with no trace of a French accent I might add). Picard is a very dignified, and distinguished man, and because he is the Captain, he has lots of authority over his crew. The German language tends to sound very much like British English, especially the Queen's English (at least to me). So, people from Germany who have mastered their th's, and overall pronunciation etc. tend to sound just like British people (speakers of "British English", I mean).

In World War 2 movies, people with German accents are portrayed are portrayed as villians, but the ones who are supposed to know English the best, have British accents. In addition, Japanese people who have learned English very well (even if they learned American English), tend to sound very British--although not quite. They sort of have an accent that sounds as dignified and refined as British English, but if you didn't know they were Japanese, you would have no idea where they are from. I think this has to do with their pronunciation of their final r's.
