The idea of living in England makes me smile, walking down a fresh strip of pavement looking at all the different scenery on some muggy rainy crap day excites me.

But i'd never live there.

The US reminds me too much of Canada just with extra crap that I don't care for

Wtf. Why is that British guy in Desperate Housewives a posh git?

Why must all American writers portray us like that?

What this requires is an IQ above 50 to understand that this is a TV show and not real life. Are you claiming that no English people act like the posh guy on TV? You know everyone personally? Shit like this is what makes me laugh. I'm laughing at you mate! Wait, can I say mate even though I'm not a Brit or an Aussie?? lol

Come on, don't start to argue, this is a Serious Discussion thread. You can see the chliches in every movie. If Americans appear in German movies, they are mostly shown as fat tourists, so what :lol:

I don't mind about the british guy in desperate housewives, yes he's a wanker. But as far as I'm concerned everybody who bases british people on him are idiots, and therefor i shouldn't care what they think.

Also Desperate Housewives isn't exactly the most real to life programm is it? :D
