Huh? Who ever thought Hugo was American? Seriously? First time I saw him was in the 90′s in an Australian film, with Russell Crowe no less. Two images in that movie are seared on my brain: Hugo on the toilet and Russell’s bare bum as viewed from the ceiling.

How did you come to that conclusion? I haven’t seen anyone on this thread even come close to that. I think Americans generally prefer British actors, anyway. Like the cast of…. MONTY PYTHON!!!

OH MY GOSH! You corrected my spelling? That’s the most freaking amazing way to win an arguement! And ‘get your head out of your ass…’ honestly, I’m amazed.
And weight insults…
You know what? You’re right. I’m sorry I begrudged you your opinions. I’m stopping the hate, if I can, because it’s an internet conversation, and we’re both just being silly. Just so you know, it is for the love of God I’m… how you phrased it… taking my head out my ass. Seriously, what does my opinion matter to you, or yours to me? It’s not like you can change someone’s mind over the internet. And as if politics were something so simple! And you may be right about the tons. Glad to make you giggle.
I sincerely hope there are no spelling mistakes in this, but I’m not going to look over it, and I’ve been a horrid speller my entire life.

Yes. Americans have had a huge impact on the world.

Every time a morbidly obese American takes a step, there is an earthquake in Japan.

“All over the shop” ^_^ I love our slang!

We probably find accents easy to imitate due to the massive amounts of American and British television we are exposed to in Australia.

Anyone who wants to make it in Film and TV in the States who isn’t from there has to.

Allegedly, Americans can’t understand anything that isn’t their own accent. (It’s the only country where I have seen non-American accented English speakers, subtitled.)

And, on a related note, it’s “sum up”, not “some up” and given the apparent obesity crisis in the USA, I’d avoid using the word “TONS” to describe the population, cause it just makes me giggle

And no – I would not have voted for Bush, even if my only other choice was Kerry. In the same way I have no plans to vote Tory even if my only other choice is to vote Labour. I know it might not seem like it, but I have standards.

Actually it’s easy for Australians to copy accent because we have much more rekaxed tongues. We can move our tongues around to imatate different accents. If you’re ever watching tv and see someone pretending to be Australian and then compare that to a real australian accent. But then you compare someone like Hugh Jackman pretending to be American then comparing it to a real american accent, you’ll see we can imitate accents better. Not offence

There are TONS of people in America. Just because there are a couple thousand (maybe) who fit your description, and are painfully loud and annoying about it, doesn’t mean it’s a vast majority. Learn math. You’d have voted Bush in for a second term too if your alternative was Kerry.
And who are you to be able to some up an entire country? You’re entitled to your opinion, yes, but I most certainly hope you’re not going into politics. Although you’d fit right in, I’m sure.
And no, sir, a blatant superiority complex and a chip on your shoulder is NOT a welcome change from ‘Yay firemen!’

Blimey mate!! That’s pretty crock. I can do a ripper Ozzy accent. I’ll jump in my ute and throw another shrimp on the barbie and open a tinny (Just another reason why no one can really understand what the hell I’m saying!! Like I’ve said I’m part English, Part Australian, Part Canadian and Part South African. My parents were in the Airforce so I went all over the shop, and thus don’t really have a specific accent and could conceivably do an Australian or a South African Accent, I can’t quite get to grips though with the Canadian accent eh?)

Well yes. But never the less he was in the Red Fleet, therefore he is a Russian Submarine Captain, but the problem is I know several Lithuanians (one of whom worked in a Russian Nuclear Power Station), and yes they may have different accents to Russians (and I also know several Russians), but there is no way that they sound something like an Edinburgh Milkman (and former nude model OH!! And thanks to Cleefa. I thought it began with D, but kept thinking of Donovan’s Reef for some strange reason.

and anyone that thinks the brits aren’t racist (and weren’t?) forgot about the national front.

Not subdue, dear heart, civilise. Deshed heathens were just sitting around gathering flies ’till the Brits arrived, what what? And we invented America; one shudders to imagine what the place would be like if the French or the Spanish had held on to it. And America, not Britain, keeps up the good work of ensuring that English, or some variant thereof, is the world’s language of choice. Passing on the baton and all that.. Course now we’re old and infirm and smell a bit orf, and in a home for the slightly silly, but it don’t matter, we have our memories..

Renee Zelwegger and Gwyneth Paltrow have done faultless British accents. Toni Collette (Australian) has done both Amerian and British accents superbly. Johnny Depp does a pretty fair British accent but I can’t think of a single Brit or American who can do Strine. Apart from the Python team in the University of Woolloomooloo sketch…

I’m not judging an entire country based on their least popular leader. I’m judging it based on the behaviour of a (somewhat vast) majority of their citizens. And not their past citizens (from the 30s, 20s, 10s etc) but their present ones.

Plus I am pretty sure I didn’t say the UK was perfect – I might be happy to be a Brit, but that’s only in comparison to being a Yank

(Plus since almost ALL of the sites seem to be turning in to mad propaganda sites, isn’t a bit of sillyness or even stupidity a welcome change from “Firemen yay!” and “If you don’t get down on your god-damned knees and worship the military you might as well let the terrorists win because you already are one”?)

Yeah you’re right Paper. Sorry to go off like that everyone but the incessant America bashing finally got to me. I mean – like every other country in the world is perfect and we are the only ones that do anything wrong. Now I know how the Germans must have felt after WW2.

This is the stupidest conversation ever. Like you can judge an entire country because of their least popular leader. Anyone who studied history knows that both Americans AND Britains have shown courage. They both have their bad and good sides, and nit picking at what the media says about the opposing country is just silly. There are different values and different vices, and you just have to accept that.

And what? Me (being born less than 40 years ago) is supposed to take responsibility for the whole of British History? I can see how that might seem logical. The fact it tall took place a hundred years or so before I was born is no reason not to blame me for it.

So yes – I apologise for invading most of the known world. It was all down to me, and looking back, I have to admit it was foolish. i don’t know what I was thinking. You have shown me the light and I will now go and apologise to every person in the world that was wronged by my actions during the last century or two. It might take me a while, but I can’t deny it will be worth it to make up for all the wrong and the many ills I, personally have poured on the world.

See you in a few years, when I get back from my travels….

I’m pretty sure Northern Ireland is more about religious differences and political differences than racism. Now, if you’d gone on to the BNP, you’d have had a point, but sadly, you missed

And way to go – picking someone from the 1930′s to symbolise British Cowardice. You couldn’t find anyone from the 1830′s to make your point clearer?

But hey – you’re obviously right about Bush being a better leader than Brown. Why didn’t I see it before? (And that’s another thing – at least we know the difference between sarcasm and irony).

By: coyoteman

coyoteman — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:38:54 +0000

No racism in Britain – I think the Northern Irish would beg to differ.

No cowardice – yes Neville Chamberlain really stood up to the Germans!

George Bush – we don’t have him anymore. And yes Gordon Brown is sooooo much better

I say old chap! Indeed you have! One must also invade and subdue 3/4 of the world so that the sun never sets on one’s empire. Then enslave and abuse the heathen natives in the name of “civilising” all whilst sacking and plundering the surrounds all for the profits of His/Her Majesty’s Crown Corporation. Colonies DO exist solely for the benefit of the mother country you know. Once all the resources have been depleted and the natives exhausted you suddenly develop a “conscience” and “liberate” the country by pulling out – leaving the natives impoverished with the used up dregs of a land.

Thus the reason why anywhere in the world when anyone speaks English it is almost always British English (or a variant thereof) and not American English.
