Americans going on holiday

fair enough.

white trash isnt an accent anyway, its a state of living.

Agreed!

[Mr. Peanuts]

EDIT: ok mr peanuts , i meant scousers.

In all fairness though, you get the white trash wherever you go, of course its not a geographic location, nor is it an accent; but a state of living.

404, you ever come to Southport? About 20 miles from Liverpool.

[Suh]

im curious as to how many brits you actually know, and what kind of background they have had, or are you talking completely from the james bond villians you have seen

He has a point Liquid, while 404 has been to the U.K (therefore has some grounding for his arguements, i cant remember if he made any tho...), have you? have you ever met a brit? or does all your experience with them come attached to a "www.", if thats the case then thats pretty pathetic since you have judged a place, its culture and its people on nothing. same ofcourse goes for thesearcher if he has never been to the U.S.A.

No arguments from me...just that white trash as well as any race card's trash cannot be determined by accent alone.

Every race has it's crap that we do not want to associate with!

In fact the Aussies that lived in Kangaroo Court....I mean Earles Court, where completely disgusting compared to the folks I use to do Record Shows with in Camden. Why does Camden get such a bad name anyway...I never had a problem there!

And in RE: to Mr. Peanuts. Nope...was not in Southport, drove through Wigan though! & I did want to go to Blackpool...but that will have to wait on my next trip.

yeah fair point, i was just saying it because he said it first.... although i have met my fair share of americans, although i have never visited the place... hopefully that will change as i do want to go to the big U S of A, anyway, the americans ive met have been far from intimidating, infact they all been pretty decent guys/girls, but none of them have been thugs or convicted criminals... so...... (and not all have been obese)

im sure i could be intimidated by an american, its got nothing to do with the accent really has it, if a 8ft 20 stone all muscle dude is trying to mug you, im sure youd be shitting bricks, no matter what the accent.

as for 404, camdens got a pretty shitty rep for a reason m8, theres a lot of crime that goes on down there, mostly at night, funny enough i was out there for a night out last saturday, and in the 10 mins it took me to get from the tube station to the club, i was approached by 7 drug dealers, and 4 prossies.

great night out though.

is that a sly way of saying you will arrange to have me beaten and dropped 8 miles from my hotel for saying all americans are fat?

BTW....The only posh English actor I know that played a bad guy was David Niven in the Pink Panther movies.

Its all about the third series of 24

[The Catholic]

Rofl!!!

[Galleleo]

Pikeys have the coolest accent by far.

[Bilbo]

I don't really know if all british accents are unintimidating. Whatever accent Vinnie Jones speaks has forever been marked by his legacy and is intimidating by default.

[Liquid Blue]

yeah........

so you watch to much shit t.v, and dont know any british people.

I don't watch more than 3 hours of tv a week, and I don't need to know 50 british people to realize that british accents aren't intimidating.

While I've interacted with British people before in the past, the one british guy I see the most (goes to my school, dumb idea since my school sucks, but it's his parent's money~) doesn't have an intimidating accent.

When you people talk about a person being intimidating, accent is probably on the lowest level of significance- height, build, posture and facial expressions are the major factors in someone having an imposing presence, not how they sound. Volume and the words they use might be smaller key factors, but an accent alone(let alone a british one) is not going to be intimidating.

Instead of jumping the gun and wishing I've never talked to a non-american before, you should step back and think about what is so intimidating about the people you're using as examples (mental examples of people you know personally or famous celebrities). There is the italian stereotypical "tough guy" accent, but would that guy really be intimidating if he was 5'3, weighed about 115 and had a mousey face? Accents are not what come into play, look deeper.

Few people are as intimidating as Mike Tyson but even fewer people sound less intimidating than him.

[Squeezer]

I'd fuck Mike Tyson up.

Seriously, I would.
