So by using your logic when i said "Americans" i should surely be referring to all of the America's ie North, South and Central? 

Your so hung up on one word its pathetic, none the less it reels you in for more, keep it up!

You contradicted yourself so many times trying to dig out from a post that you should have just admitted you made a mistake in...you won't.  Guess you shouldn't get hung up on Americans using England than....after all it's one word. 

As I said....irony and hypocrisy.  Seriously dude....hang it up.  When using a noun one should put a disclaimer ...ie a few, some...etc.  Otherwise, it means exactly what it says.  And you say Americans butchered the language....irony indeed.

If I say Brits drink tea all day.....I'm sure you'd call that a generalization.  And rightly so.

Yet you couldnt answer my question.  So when its said Americans earn $20,000 on average each year, then what would you assume i mean the USA, or every other country in the Americas?  No you would realise i mean a group with in the Americas, ie the USA.  Yet i said Americas, which could refer to people from Brazil.  If i thought someone like you who can't think outside the box would need me to have put "some" in front of Americans than i would have, but i though the general poster here was smarter than that.  Do you mean to say then also that Americans must mean all americans, yet could never means some americans?

Yes brits do drink tea all day.  You can drink tea at anytime of the day.  Wait now im doing what you are doing, taking a sentence sepeartely out of context.  The only person who is the hole is yourself.  If you think so adamatly that by saying americans i mean evey last one of you fine, walk away with that, or read it for what is implied

Quite frankly we can disagree on this all day or let this thread get back on track, your call. Unless you wanna play one-up-man ship all day, which if you do PM me.  Unless you enjoy fulfilling another irony, the irony of two strangers arguing on the internet over stuff that doesnt matter?

Wrong, i am correcting you in explaining a reason why its is plausible for people to Americans to make to make the mistake, i have even said Americans sometimes do, which as your english clearly suffers means "American citizens (which by no means means every last American) occasionally assume britain and england are the same country.

I am not, saying that you all do, its not even tacit, if you read that then you are wrong. If you want me to generilse your contry i simply can do, it really isn't difficult these days.  So please keep you psuedo-intellectual comments to yourself, especially when the orginal post was written in a fiduciary sense.

:lol:  Wrong....wrong....wrong.  You make is so easy...now show me in this post where you say anthing about "some Americans".....*reads post*...nope, stil not there.  So I guess it's your English (should be capitalized) that's suffering...and who read their own post wrong?  Hmm.....so keep your psuedo-intellectual comments to yourself....

When Americans refer to to "Britishness" it essentially is "Englishness" since England imposed its culture on these states.  Also its pretty damn obvious that a Welshman, Scot or irishman do not talk anything like someone from Enlgand, and to say they do is an insult to them, so Americans are fair enough in assuming its England when refering to the UK.  The rest is somantics.

I just wish Americans had not butchered our language so much :P

As I said generalization FTL!;)

@Jowel - im not talking accents either, im talking about generalisation.

LJS9502_basic

Which is exactly what you are doing.....sense the irony?

No I (as in personally) am not generalising, i am simply stating the reason why Americans often confuse Britain with England, because of the accent, somantics and rhetoric and sterotypical english, vis-a-vis why *Americans* sometimes generalise.  SO no i cannot sense the irony because there is no irony in my statement, and if it was i could easily claim it was socratic just for your benefit.

I would accept an arguement of coincidence, because im sure thats what you have confused irony with in this isntance.  It is a coincidence that i speak of one group generalising when it appears i am generalising said group, but when i am explaining the basis of the reason for the sweeping statements, cannot be ironic.

We don't....I told you that...only a few may do that.  You are generalizing an entire country in your posts...including this one.  That is irony, hypocrisy, generalization, and stereotyping....

Wrong, i am correcting you in explaining a reason why its is plausible for people to Americans to make to make the mistake, i have even said Americans sometimes do, which as your english clearly suffers means "American citizens (which by no means means every last American) occasionally assume britain and england are the same country.

Edit* after reading a comment from you in another thread, its pretty apparent you are zealous patriot and consider any even remote disparge a blow to American pride, ill dismiss your comments of the grounds of blind devotion.

[QUOTE="Bourbons3"][QUOTE="MankAsh"]Hi,You hear Americans doing bad posh voiced impersonations of us english speaking like the queen(obviously we dont!)But how do you yanks feel towards your brothers in arms.Like,not bothered if you agree with the war in iraq but i fined it refreshing we always know we've......:cry: got each others backs(unlike france).I love america and i just never hear what Americans feel about us???????Jowell91

Sorry dude,it is UK!But i've heard that americans think the United Kingdom is one country!:lol:

It is. UK is a sorveign state making it a country, England isnt. Havent you heard of SNP Scottish Nationalist Party, figthing to make Scotland its own country, we wouldent do this if each part of the UK was an induvidual country.

When Americans refer to to "Britishness" it essentially is "Englishness" since England imposed its culture on these states.  Also its pretty damn obvious that a Welshman, Scot or irishman do not talk anything like someone from Enlgand, and to say they do is an insult to them, so Americans are fair enough in assuming its England when refering to the UK.  The rest is somantics.

I started making out with her on the second day and she said I was going too fast for her and she just wants to be friends for now but I still really like her and I know I made a mistake so what should I do? p.s. Idc that this is the millionth girl help thread, so don't reply if you don't care.homie300

Go look for a girl who will put out on the first night!

Blooddemon, that picture, legendry!

[QUOTE="Kalel559"][QUOTE="Poedon"][QUOTE="Kalel559"]

Speaking frankly: it doesn't bug anyone knowing that some other guy has already stuck his d**k in this girl the same way you are right now?

Doesn't make me feel very special knowing that I'm just another number...

Poedon

it should make you feel special that you are the only one who's sticking now, and not those other chumps.

Personally, I want something more than that. I don't want to settle for what everyone else does. Maybe that means I set the bar higher but all the better. 

What i'm saying is that she had those guys, but she CHOSE you over them.  Be happy with that!

Yeah, she had a har fantasy f**ks, and now she goes with the man she knows loves her.  Shes had her fun now its time to settle down with the guy that hung around  Hmm yeah thats called being used.
