I'm always impressed by how well stocked British supermarkets are. Some of the tescos are the size of a small village. It's amazing. What do children do when they get lost in one of those? I'd curl up into a ball and cry, that's what I'd do, if I was a child. One remarkable difference I've noticed between most of what I've seen in Britain, and say, the Western Cape, is that in Britain people mind their own business. You’re lucky to get a friendly scowl or a suspicious look, where in the Cape, everyone's greeting everyone in the street, regardless of whether they know each other or not. I prefer both really, when I'm overdosed on smiles, I really miss the anonymity of walking through English streets. England's not pathetic (Good way to get attention, Redrum), it has a good social welfare system in place and it's near impossible to be jobless (unless your an invalid). I wouldn't mind living there.

I take you do actually look around the world you're living in don't you?
It seems as if you just rally against something and don't stop and see what's happening near you. Just like England there's parts of Ireland that are fucking violent. I don't see how this makes England any more pathetic. Get off your 20 foot horse.

in the same way that the human race is pathetic enlgand does have the most pathetic of the most pathetic qualitites but it also has the best of the best too.
you have to choose whether to fight depression and force yourself to look on the bright side or to live let the misery and torment continually beat you
being pessimistic is the safest bet for sure but you only live once so must not block off opportunities for something great to happen sometimes, i.e if you are ultra hard you MUST choose optimism, also if you are ultra stupid.
the moral is "you can't win either way" completely not black or white just shades of brown yeaaah mann hevvvvvvvvvy peace & love

england as a whole is a very ugly country, with (no offense) generally very ugly people, especially the woman (again, generally, not everyone, obviously)
but they have also been responsible for some of the greatest music of the 20th century (not so much in the 21st) so i shall give them eternal credit for that.
but as a whole, england can be described in one word: grey.

no doubt about that.
but you dont see many elizabeth hurleys walking the streets of manchester dont you? you see loads of flabby, pale coloured and generally overweight girls walking them. this was evident last year at the benicassim festival. most of the spanish and continental girls looked great, whereas to see a great looking english girl was quite hard (not impossible, just hard).
same goes for the guys, english guys and continental guys simple arent comparable, but the problem is somehow more evident with the females.

I think people in the UK have had issues with our weight in recent years and we also don't get as much sun as people in the warmer parts of Europe so we can look a bit pasty.

You don't see many Liz Hurley standard chicks walking along the road in any country you dumb cunt. Show me a country where the majority of people are that quality and I'll concede to saying that all english women are ugly and I wouldn't touch them if my life depended on it. Fucking hell, is it just me or do about 90% of the world think that the Hollywood version of English men and women is true? You do know that Austin Powers was a "comedy" don't you? It wasn't a documentary. Unlike Highlander.

I see it as a great example of natural selection. Just watch Trisha and try not to imagine gassing the studio.

English women seem to be the only women that can be kind of ugly and hot at the same time. Just through my eyes, perhaps. There are plenty of attractive English women, though

i don't know about that. his reason is his opinion; that they're mostly ugly.
i don't agree with it myself - but the only way you could interpret it as being sexist is if you were to believe that acknowledging the fact that there are two sexes to be sexist.
what he said might be over-generalising, and I don't agree with it, but it's anything but sexist.

there is no need for every women to look like hurley for the population to be nice. i mentioned hurley just cause someone said that some of the world's best looking women are british, which is true.
But saying that there are as many good looking english women (ratio/percentage wise) as there are say, french or italian or spanish women, is pure folly. pure and simple folly. english people simple are not even in the same league as their european counterparts when it comes to beauty. that's quite a fact, unless you're british and you want to continue denying that very obvious fact.

While I don't share your hatred of the proles, right now a scene from Trisha is being played out across from me now. An ex-smackhead, twice pregnant in the last 6 months, and her mother are currently yelling at each other across the street from me now.

Depends on your definition of sexism and racism. I'd say, in the normal, negative use of the words, neither of those things are sexist or racist unless that was the speakers intention; You can't disregard the intentions of the person in judging him or his opinions.

I'm just saying he probably didn't mean anything sexist by it; he didn't mean to degrade anyone based on sex, but rather on their appearance. I'm not sure he consciously meant to degrade anyone either.. If I said that I find most British women ugly, I wouldn't really mean anything bad by it in that way, you know what I mean?

I do think most people try not to say offensive/sexist/racist things. I didn't say he is a bad person, but that what he said, minor as it may be, points to a sexist idea that simply isn't true. Nobody's trying to muzzle him, but just because he probably didn't mean any harm doesn't mean nobody should point it out to him. God knows I have said even more idiotic things, as nonchalantly as he, without realizing...I'm glad to have somebody to explain to me why whatever I said was fucked up.

While what you're saying isn't a fact (because different kinds of people find different things attractive) I do agree with you. In the European countries I've been to, and at festivals, and at university, the European girls and guys seem to be plain better looking. Maybe it's their diet.
