So sux is a racial slur? Can only brits suck? What about beaners, water rats, chinks, gooks, ghosts, spics, spades, dago jagoffs, japs, russkys and fishbellies, can't they suck? and brit is a slur? I must be missing something. If you object so vehemently to theword brit I will write great britainite every time I mention someone from Great Britain.

Don't play innocent; even you're not as much of a moron as you're pretending to be. You said bad things about British people. That is a racial slur. It doesn't take a British person to work that out...

Statikk HDM 04-09-2002 09:03 PM

Hey, sorry about saying all of that stuff about britain. but britain does some crappy stuff, like america. So Great Britain is a race, right? No. i think you mean anglo saxon. I am anglo saxon, so why would I racially slur myself.

Don't act stupid. Saying nasty things about the British is as much of a Racial Slur as saying nasty things about the French, or the Mexicans, or any other country.

Tsk tsk tsk. I leave the forums for three days, and look what it all dissolves into. Does it... yes, it does, deserve another tsk, indeed.

Okay, way too many entries to quote individually, so here is my outlook on basically everything important that has been said-

1- Britain and the US are like best friends in highschool- we scuffle and fight sometimes, but it's all in good fun, and when there's something important going on (both world wars, etc), we look out for eachother. That's what's important, not who can make the wittiest comedies (Britain) or who builds better economic cars (US).

2- Canada is like the US's little brother- we do respect you guys, even though we don't show it very well, and are usually happy to have you along on our various adventures to the middle east and such. Yes, you guys have the monopoly on producing good hockey players (congrats on the olympics, you deserve it), but they all come down here for the money, so it's hard to say.

3- What do you mean, Canada hasn't produced a good trans-atlantic comedy program? Kids in the Hall was wildly popular in Norway and Germany when it was still on CBS here. I don't know if it ever got very big in the UK, but you aren't the only nation in europe, remember?

4- Uh, it's spelled Roy, not Wa. Patrick Roy. Prounounced Wa, but spelled Roy. He's Quebecquois, which is another international conflict in and of itself, so I'll avoid it for now.

5- That muppet joke about the queen mum was just a simple pun, and it was used on an old episode of the muppet show, about twenty years ago, so don't take it too personally.

6- British comedies crappy? Hello!? Go buy the DVD of Fawlty Towers, right now! NOW! It's the funniest show ever to flicker across a television screen, no hands down. And, of course, like all the greatest shows of all time, there are only about 12 episodes.

7- Improv comedy can be good. Whose Line is it Anyway, the show I'm pretty sure you guys are talking about, WAS good for the thirteen or so seasons it was hosted by Clive Anderson, first in the UK and then in Hollywood, but once it got turned over the Drew Carey and ABC, and they stopped having a balance of British and American performers, it went to pot. That was always the beauty of it- too many americans was goofy and immature, too many brits was wordy and boring, but a good mix of two and two- like Ryan Stiles and Brad Sherwood (US) teamed up with Jocie Lawrence and Caroline Quenton (UK), or, my personal favorites, Mike McShane and Greg Proops (US) with Tony Slattery and Steve Frost (UK), was incredible. Plus, once again, Canada proves itself just as worthy, with Collin Mochrie! When it all worked, it was a thing of comic genius.

8- Yes, game shows are pretty crappy

9- To be a racial slur, one must be commenting on a race. "British" is not a race, it is a nationality. An anti british generalization would be more of an ethnic slur, or, even more precisely, a prejudicial nationality statement. See how stupid and banal I can make this? WhooooooOOOOoooo, fun.

And 10- When anybody dies, it's important to mourn if you need to, if the person was important to you and you require time and expression to help deal with the loss, and it's equally important to honor other's rights to mourn, even if you yourself are not going to. When Ex presidents die here, we mourn, and I'm sure others might think we go a little over the top, but they respect our loss, give us space and time, and the world moves on.

That statement is completely and utterly untrue.

Jacob 04-10-2002 02:08 PM

Which is why i put 'HAR-HAR-HAR (Immaturity)'

Doug...did you know that over 75% of Americans were fat?

Statikk HDM 04-10-2002 10:24 PM

What is with all the fat comments, Jacob. I don't seem to get the connection between this topic and fatness. The analogy with U.S. and Britain as highschoolers is right on the money, Big D. (You know who you are:)) some british comedy is good, like the original whose line comparde to the american version. colin mockery is the SHIT! I only wish both whose lines would utilize Greg proops a little more!

Jacob 04-10-2002 10:34 PM

I'm just seeing if Doug takes that seriously, as he does with everything else i put.

How was I to know that "HAR-HAR-HAR (Immaturity)" meant that you were making a joke rather than expressing your delight in your own bigotry? If you persist in speaking a language that no one else understands, your fate is that you will be misunderstood.

I will hereafter ignore you, which is the treatment that your rambling and incoherent -- not to mention frequently nasty -- posts deserve.

Jacob 04-11-2002 10:18 AM

Since i dont know your true age i will put YOUR behavior down to you being a immature 10 year old. Of course, the use of language defeat that un-calculated prediction and therefore i have to conclude your a stuck up adult who judges someone through the OBVIOUS snide comments they make. I would also like to point out to you that not even Stadikk commented on the Canadian remark...just goes to show, people call Stad but...heh...we have you there aswell.

*Drips with Snide and Bitterness*

(That was just incase you thought i was being aggressive...which i wasn't.)

:

If you persist in speaking a language that no one else understands, your fate is that you will be misunderstood.
Also, it is kinda hard to put tones of voice on a read-only forum. Otherwise you would have noted my non-serious remark about the Canadians. Sure, the Americans have digs at them for humour...which i quite funny. But still...thats only 90% of the Yanks...im sure the other 10% enjoy the Canadians...erm...company?

EDIT: Also, im not a bigot thankyou very much. It's not my fault you have to have Dan come and translate most of the things i say for you, and state what i actually mean by them.

Statikk HDM 04-11-2002 09:19 PM

Everyone is a bigot in their own unique right, you can't lambaste someone without thinking to yourselves how bad YOU really are. for example, when Norton speaks about immigration in american History X, I was not terrified at his views so much as how i found myself nodding in agreement, amazed at how elequently one can make such a distasteful arguement. Their are two sides to every story, you know, and we pick the one most palatable. In affect, our ability to judge without baggage is nonexsistant.

Japanese and German cars outperform both British and American ones...

Faulty Towers, Monty Python, Blackadder, Black Books, Father Ted (Irish is almost British), Big Train, Smack the Pony, Have I Get News For You, Trigger Happy TV, If I Ruled the World, not to mention our fantastic radio comedies like I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, the News Quiz, Just a Minute, the Motion Show, the Now Show, etc...

The list goes on and on... ;)

I honestly believe that I am not a Bigot. You can tell me I'm fooling myself, but the only people I am prejudiced against are Prejudiced People...

Teal 04-12-2002 10:23 AM

Sheesh, and this was supposed to be a brief (or not-so brief, but you get the idea) topic just to express a little sorrow at the queen Mum's death. Why do you lot have to turn everything into an argument?

Yeah, because you're such a great ambassador to your country, Stattik. *rolls eyes*

We're getting back to the "x is better that y" arguments, here. Can we all just shut up, now?

Your probably a peace-ful soul and for that i pity you...but please...dont tell us to calm down. I, for one, feast off the aggression of others.

You seem to have had a lil typo. I believe you mean:

'Doug, stop trying to provoke Chris also'

And i aint trying to provoke him. But from now on, im going to point out what my tone of voice is when i say...ahem:

"Doug...i really do adore you. Infact, i love you."

Speak for your ****ing self!

You: Bigot
Hitler: Bigot
Member of BNP, NF, KKK, etc: Bigot
Me: Not bigot
Dan: Not bigot
Any other reasonable person: Not bigot

Now, I'm not trying to compare you to Hitler ... Much


Speaking of Hitler, there's an idiot in my English class who thinks Hitler was a good person/idolises him. I want a sytem in place which stops children being made evil by bad carers.

Jacob 04-12-2002 11:06 PM

Although Hitler was a bastard he was a great leader. He was basically looking out for the Germans and trying to help them in the long run. Thats why he wanted a Aeryn race, so they would all be 'Pure' and any impurities (Non-Aeryns.) would be stamped out as it were. Hitler was a bastard thought...unfortunatly he shot himself before us brits got a hold of him...since we did most of the fighting:D.

Statikk HDM 04-12-2002 11:51 PM

you are bigotted against me,Gluk, a faceless person on the internet who has done no harm to you.... how much more to people you are in contact with physically each day? What did I ever do to deserve a comparison to hitler? Have I ever advocatde the death of jews? No. Am i a german socialist? No. Do I have a cool mustache? No(well not yet, i have always wanted one. Mustaches are cool, unlike hitler who is very NON COOL) So I am being compared to someone who advocated the death of all jews, the KKK, and other evil organizations? WTF?

Statikk HDM 04-13-2002 12:03 AM

My "crimes" that got me compared to Hitler are(Just so you can see how much like a communist killer) are I callled the Quenn a snooty brit, I said the country of England sux(well, it probably does but i haven't been their. I hear its okay) I said MOST, key word Most, englanders are annoying and enjoy unfunny shows(what having a different sense of homor is a crime. I'm sure you don't like Adam sandler or Anthrax, like I do, and I don't like a lot of British humor or british music, so sue me....or compare me to one of the most reviled people in all of history. I ran off a list of slurs,damn i don't think that is defensible, but i was trying to prove a point but went to far. still, it was wrong, and I won't say those slurs again. I said we are all bigots in our own rights. Mein Kampf! Why must I be persecuted!

1. No, I just dislike you.

2. Precicely! (It isn't too bad but I'd prefer California if they had Edge over there)

3. Is this most Englanders or most of the Englanders you've met?

4. I don't have anything against either.

Jacob 04-13-2002 01:58 PM

:

England sux
Of course it does...no...i totally agree. And Canada is the pinnicle of perfection.

(For Doug...this is Sarcasm.)

Also i like Adam Sandler and if Anthrax is a band...i have never heard of them...if you mean the disease...then, i dont have a prob with it if its used in a more...creative way.

Statikk HDM 04-13-2002 03:18 PM

Canada is good. i like it. I don't like england. i think it is not as good as Wisconsin or Canada. You probably don't like wisconsin, and I know just about everyone here has a bone to pick with me and Canada. I can deal with that. I CANT deal with the libel comparing me to a certain socialist who relished killing jews.

Danny 04-13-2002 09:09 PM

What Statikk percieves his "crimes" to be: Disliking England.

What Statikk's "crimes" really are: Being a total Bigot.

How did you get confused here?

Majic 04-13-2002 09:23 PM

Wisconsin is in the central United States area Tom. Its a state, its kinda open and dull, and actualy is the place taht has the most real cowboys in the US. In short, its a bunch of fields, farms, but I'm not saying there aren't cities, its just not the busiest place there is.

I see.
Cowboys, hehe!

Sounds like a horibble place. But then I don't like large places in general. Takes too long to get from one place to another.

Jacob 04-13-2002 10:17 PM

Has anyone realised that 'Statikk' is a name closely associated with the 'Devil'
