Oh lord....and then you have americans complaining about everyone calling them stupid.

Oh shut the **** up. Just cause you're Englands bitch boy and you've got a complex because SitU had an avatar for 20 seconds that was bigger than your country, don't go Napoleon on the international community.

Why are you so anti-american by the way. If I have to point out that you should judge people by states or at least by regions of the country one more time im going to scream. For all I'm ignorant of a dying language, you're ignorant enough of one of the worlds major countries.

Honestly, for all the information thats out there to know, I don't think knowing Welsh is still spoken is really up there. I read the Economist cracker, I'm more worldly than 75% of the country. Pipe down.

Now lets get back to reality:

1. Of the 5 people who said they could fist themselves orally, still no photos...not cool. I'm about to take a photo of me attempting it.

2. Can we get some welsh pronuciation. Give its age and englands history im going to pronounce it like I do german words. Maybe its nees a gaelic like resurgence.

3. What happened to Moely, and Sensitive, do you speak Welsh?

That is true, and yet has nothing to do with knowing pretty basic things about the world.

My country may be smaller than your average american city, but I'm more cosmopolitan than someone living in Boston U.S.A. I'm growing tired of the excuse that the U.S. is just a very big country so its inhabitants don't really have the need to learn a foreign language or learn anything about the world outside their borders. Especially about the part of the world that should be of special interest to you, seeing as how the majority of your culture originates from Europe.

I'm not, I'm anti-stupid, it just so happens that those two terms are often interchangeable.

What does that have to do with anything? Are you not from Boston Massachusetts, as in, the north east part of the U.S. which is supposedly more cosmopolitan and intelligent? What does that say about the rest of the country?

How so? I know more about the U.S. than you do about any country in Europe, hell , probably the world.

And ain't that the sad truth...
Buy an atlas and possibly an encyclopedia.

If by cosmopolitan you mean you read the magazine then yes, you probably are. First of all I never said "the U.S. is large so we don't have to know about the rest fo the world", you probably just threw that in there because you assumed that I think that way. Check your own hang ups before you come in here and start trashing me.

1. As i've stated previous, knowing welsh was a spoken language is not really the world. Thats like saying i've gone to croatia and I've traveled the globe. And to go back to having hangups, what inspires such a brazen lashing out at a passing comment about one person not knowing that Welsh was a spoken language. Especially when its to be followed by a bunch of English citizens saying not many people outside of the U.K. know its spoken. Get off your high horse jackass.

2. You may know more about certain countries, but on the whole I'll bet you know what intrests you. And whats more irritating about this is that as far as worldly knowledge, or culture goes, you looked at the wide array that existed on the pallate and you decided what was correct and anyone who chose otherwise is somehow "uncultured." Tell me why I should know alla bout europe. I'm not disagreeing with you here, but why isn't Japanese or Indian culture just as good. To be fair, most culture came from specificlly Germany and France.

3. Tell me exactly why you're so smug and content to take your pent up U.S. hated out on me? I mean theres multiple times you've slammed boston in your petulant diatribe there. Have you ever been here? If so I'd like to know exactly what you did? A lay over at Logan Airport doesn't count. And on the off chance that you havn't been here, you've got a lot of gall attacking some where you've never been, and someone you don't know in the very thread you were condeming people in for committing the same act.

To put it as economiclly american as I can: **** off Adidass...and nice corporate sell out you "highly cultured and cosmopolitan" jackass. Call me when you want to identify yourself by something other than a companey that created its clothes in sweatshops in malaysia and cambodia. Or maybe you didn't know that seeing as your head was up Europes ass.

Your volley ol' Chum.

:D glad you had a great time, my eastern european buddy-bud

It was the first time I saw a store as big as that one, suffice to say I was a bit overwhelmed. ;) Tis awesome though, even if they don't have much indie, that's what Sister Ray was for ( pic's a bit later :yeah: ).

Sorry, you're right, you probably never said that, it was said in another forum when discussing american ignorance. Although, that just means you never even tried excusing your ignorance? I'm not having a go at you just for the welsh thing, you've shown on a number of occasions that you are a pretty stereotypical american.

I don't think the issue is that most people don't know Welsh is a spoken language, the issue here is that you're an educated young man from Boston, not Bumsville Ohio. Yet you show the same apathy towards any issue outside the U.S. as you average compatriots.

Because you're a white american, unless you count sushi restaurants and manga cartoons as a pivotal part of your culture, I'd say you need to know a few things about the continent that is responsible for the majority of your culture. From Greece to the U.K.

Never been to America I'm affraid, but as far as I know, Boston is supposed to be one of the major educational and intellectual centres of the country. I'm not dissing Boston, I'm dissing you for not meeting it's ( supposed ) standards.

Highly cultured doesn't necessarily mean I'm a tree hugin' hypocrite that wastes time with problems I cannot resolve. And I'm sure you don't have a single Nike or Adidas piece of clothing, cos you're so righteous. :yeah:
