I bet you do have an english accent - why are you making out like it's such a bad thing? American girls love it, for one...

Wow, big fucking deal. I'm English, and I don't whine about stereotyping. This thread will change nothing.

And if this was inspired by 'a very English Post' you need to do something about your sense of humour.

lol I was just about to say that... I've lived in England all my life, and I have an English accent. It's a south-London accent, granted... but still English.

Anyway - this topic is entitled "fuck the stereotypes", so I'm going to find a 6" goth with black hair and high heels, a homosexual with openly flambouyant wrist-flapping and a leather jacket, a German riding a tank, and a teenager trying to mug someone, and I'll fuck them.

LOL! that is seriosuly funny no joke.

[Asswipe3210]

sorry bro. we need to sterotype. it does the following:
keeps us slightly safe
makes arguments
is fun
gives us something to make fun of
makes people feel bad
usually ends up giving some kind of moral

That's right. There isn't one. I've never seen an american person who doesn't have an american accent for that matter. People always have the accent that's characteristic to their location.

[PterodactylFace]

Ah shaddup.

Stereotypes and prejudice are always funny.

I admit that stereotype are funne But NO we don't ride moose and maple syrup is not take in a river of maple syrup ! (I'm canadian)

[IamBetterThanYou]

you come from england, therefore you have an english accent. you just don't hear it because you are so used to it. i went to america last week and most of them refused to believe that they had accents, most of them said "we speak normal, you have an english accent" so i guess its the same for everyone. and how can there be a universal english accent? everyone speaks differently (especially up north...*shudder*) more to the point, i DO drink tea. sometimes even at 5 pm. you know stereotypes are usually true right? thats why they exist. "Stereotype: A conventional, formulaic, and oversimplified conception, opinion, or image"

why can't we all just get along.

[cool-penguin-0]

Stereotypes? Calm down there kidder.

A prime example - saying that all penguins are cool. A stereotype- but a mighty true one at that! ;)

i have tea at five everyday. as a matter of fact i have about 15-20 cups of tea a day.

[areyoureadyEddie]

I'm English and it does annoy me on how wrongly we're potrayed on American shows like "The Simpsons" or "Family Guy" but it does have to be said i do drink a lot of tea and around 5 in the evening i tend to have a cup.

[ZeroAsALimit]

Why not let the people stereotype ? You are getting angry because you don't like what someone says, well that's unfortunate and it happens. But people aren't going to stop just because they see you are annoyed, if anything it makes them more eager. Try reinforcing the stereotype.

[RFG]

I'm English and I like our stereotype, it's pretty funny. I don't drink tea but I have quite a well-spoken accent.
If you can't laugh at yourself don't laugh at others...
*Continues to stereotype...* =P

except women being bad drivers

insurance rates for women are almost twice that for men
