Count yourselves lucky boys, I live in Cornwall (UK) - and there's absolutely nothing here but open spaces for cows and village idiots. I'm not defending it, because I can see nothing worthy of defense.

VOTE MEBYN KERNOW!

however you spell it, i'd vote for them, justto stop cornwall draining our country! :-)

The number of stories my cornish friend's told me about ppl chasing witches through patio doors.... odd.

But then... UK rocks... you know.. "the place where the history comes from."

And the place where they grow the huuuuuuuuuge silicon crystals does seriously kick ass.
This comment this person made about texas is particularly interesting given the fact that nothing good has come out of england since before world war 2.

Oh yea, and we beat the crap out of you in rugby too



Not too good at anything these days are u poms

this person thinks there's a fine line between joke insults and mild racism... anyway. I'll not mention the criminals....

Rugby. Bit boring, full of ugly men. Mind you at least england plays it, rather than american football... i.e. rugby for wimps.

hehe, i think i'll put my bowler hat on and eat some roast beef.

nothing good.... hmmm... ever heard of trainspotting? somethign tells me you have

Mild racism?

You are kidding right? You were making some *very* unnecessary comments aout texas regarding something so i thought id step on the gentlemans behalf and sling some mug at the UK camp over there.

<Rant>
Perhaps we should invent a new politically correct word for England's severe lacking in almost all areas of life including sporting, social skills, and quality of females. Something equivalant to "Mentally challenged" to refer to retards, just so that we dont offend you with "mild racism". What a joke.
</Rant>

If you arent English, then i am eternally sorry, and my deepest and most sincere regrets go out to you. This include all welsh, Scottish, and Northern Irish.

yeah whatever.. ok it sounded crap, but i don't care.

I've been posting here for a while, and have got to know isajera, and i don't mind him insulting me, and vice versa.

however, i don't know you in the slightest, so you shouldn't insult people you don't know. it's. not. nice.

MOST of your posts on this site have been insulting. As trickykid has said, this site is for nice people only. If you're gonna contiue like this, then please go away.

Look, i dont see what the big deal is, and i dont care how long you have been here or how well you know someone. I did *only* the same thing that you said/did to someone else, if you cant handle when that comes back, then you should leave the subject alone.

Just get over it, its not a big deal.

And i think you'll find i spent one post being rude, and that was about a topic i feel strongly about.

Youll need thicker skin to survive in this world

i think this thread is getting out of hand. i am going to close it now.

but one last thing though as i am going to get the last words...

I personally think England has got to be one of the coolest places, hopefully one day I will visit. Hey, we might have kicked their butts for our freedom, but look now, were very close allies, even now, they are sending troops with ours to fight off terrorism.
And the music that comes from there rocks, it beats most of the crap that comes out of our country, god i can't wait til these teenie bop bands grows old and die off quickly...
