Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edward Does Austin Powers Dance for Sports Relief 2012 – BBC Video
Meanwhile in the UK…
It is hard to believe that this country used to own our land. In the following video, one of their ‘super’ athletes named Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edward does some bizarre British mating ritual dance to monkey sounds. I don’t get it. I don’t see what women see in the British man. Between all the funny sounding words and being no good Redcoats who killed Mel Gibson’s sons without remorse, you have to put up with their white wigged arrogance and these bizarre devil dances of dangling dallies? I don’t think so.
Parents, if you need any convincing of why you should not send your daughter on her ‘Eurotrip’ to get flussied around by all those foreigners, this is all the proof you need. These are the people who will be chasing her through the street until she winds up preggo and hiding it in their socialist abortionoplex maryjane houses in Amsterdam.
What’s even worse is that this is considering ‘classy’ British television, from the BBC. Extend your pinkie with disgust on this one, parents. It’s said this guy has “Austin Powers Mojo Dance” and I can only assume that means something vile!

What is shocking is how you are insulting a clip from a charity show. Also there was nothing homosexual about that clip. Were there any people of the same sex involved in any sexual activity with one another? No there was not. Wasn’t even a hug between two people of the same sex.

That dance he is doing is not some bizarre mating ritual. It is a dance just very loosely based on the 60′s style of dancing and nothing more. It is as much a mating ritual as any other dance.
As for what women see in British men, the list could be quite large if you compare stereotypes. There is the accent which apparently Americans are meant to find attractive. There is the fact that some think we are meant to be charming and polite. Those that think we are all meant to be smart and articulate. Tolerant and caring also comes up quite a bit. A few words/phrases that come up when other countries think of a stereotypical American: Arrogant, assertive, materialistic, egoistical, fast food eaters, war mongers, stupid comes up once or twice, US-centred world view and overzealous with regards to religion. Found a site where liberal was suggested as a stereotypical American trait but NO ONE agrees with it, not even the author.
“no good Redcoats who killed Mel Gibson’s sons without remorse” You do realise that you are referring to a film. A piece of fiction based loosely on actual historical events? Wouldn’t normally ask but I don’t find it hard to believe you have trouble telling reality from fiction.
So sending a daughter to Europe will result in her getting pregnant? Either you are saying that Europe is filled with rapists, which is a lie, or you don’t trust your daughter to visit a fine continent where her family originated from. If you are that worried have her tell everyone she meets she’s American, may put her off as stereotypically (you seem to think stereotypes are true) Europeans have an extremely negative view of Americans so it might put everyone off her.
Finally, regarding your comment that the clip you showed was considered “classy British television”. That is not considered classy. The BBC is our MAIN television network not our classiest. It broadcasts a wide range of programmes varying in class. That clip is a part of a set of programmes in aid of Sports Relief, a charity event that raises money with sport related activities and the shows are often done with a comic nature as well. You have just spent a while stating your disgust at a CHARITY clip. Well done.

I was not being racist against Abe. I mentioned nothing of race. If you were to accuse me of being anything it would be xenophobic and even then you were wrong. I merely pointed out several existing stereotypes of Americans and British. Did I say I agreed with them? No I did not. In fact I stressed they were stereotypes on multiple occasions.
As for seeing Taken. I have not seen that movie. Again it is a piece of fiction. It isn’t real, in no way does it accurately portray an entire nation or continent. Stop taking advice and getting information on other countries from films.
Abe was just as guilty of what you accused me of Adam. “Between all the funny sounding words and being no good Redcoats who killed Mel Gibson’s sons without remorse, you have to put up with their white wigged arrogance and these bizarre devil dances of dangling dallies”. So according to him we British speak funny, kill without remorse, arrogant and dance in a really odd and satanic way.
I stressed the existence of certain stereotypes to suggest why American women sometimes think that the British are attractive and added in some stereotypes of Americans, many of which I personally disagree with by the way and got all of them from an outside source. Abe actually insulted the nation I was born and raised in. Insulting myself, my entire family and all my friends in the process. And you say I’m in the wrong.

You insulted him because his American race. You assumed that he could not tell the Patriot was a movie because he was American: how is that not racist? Also, he does have a point. Have the British ever formally apologized for all the Americans they killed in the Revolutionary War? Also, we’ve never received apology for having our White House torched to the ground, yet saved the UK from the likes of Hitler. Can’t you see why so many Americans have trouble trusting Brits?

OK who’s assuming here. I suggested that Abe didn’t know that the Patriot was a movie as he used it as a reason not to trust the British. That suggests he may have been unsure. Can you find one quote where I say this is BECAUSE he was American because I can’t.
Also just so you know American isn’t technically a race. It is a nationality. You can’t be racist against America because of this fact. It would be xenophobia rather than racism. The two are commonly confused.
As for never apologising. Has America ever apologised from the amount of our troops that died due to “friendly fire” in any wars we have fought with you. Has America ever thanked us for joining them in Iraq, a war that did not involve us and has resulted in terrorist attacks in our own country. America has been helped by the British about as much if not more than the British have ever been helped by the Americans.
In response to the Hitler comment, which by the way I don’t need to respond to as universally it means you’ve lost all credibility and the argument for just mentioning it, it is called Godwin’s Law. America may have been a help but you were not solely responsible for the winning of the war. As with WWI you came in to the war late, Europe had been fighting a brutal war for years before hand. Your country provided fresh troops and replenished dwindling supplies. You were more concerned with the Japanese than the Germans. You were a part of the final push on Berlin I’ll admit but so were France, Britain and Russia. All allied troops moved into Berlin at roughly the same time. In fact Russia got there first. You were a help but you didn’t save Britain from Hitler.

Johnny, the Patriot is a GREAT reason not to trust the British. It is based on true events.
Stories detailing the sickness of the British empire know no ends. Your ancestry is that of destruction, exploitation and rampant greed. How can you people live with yourselves, never formally apologizing to all the people you enslaved and murdered? America was the first of your slaves to free ourselves, then we had to unteach many of the evils you put down in us: imperialism, causing wanton carnality and slavery/inequality. We’ve done great for being such a young country, but straigthening out all the wrongs you Brits have done to the world.

The patriot may be based on true events but it still doesn’t mean that it is truly historically accurate. Directors and Screenwriters will take poetic licence, they will alter it to make for a more interesting story.
Stories about brutal background exist for every nation INCLUDING America. You have the slave trade and the civil war both were very brutal and took place pretty recently historically speaking. Has America apologised for all the horrific details in its past? No it has not. Britain may have a bloody past but so does every other country.
As for the first to be freed. You do realise that hardly any of the countries were treated as slaves in the British Empire they may have been under our rule but they weren’t treated like slaves. Did you know that many if not all of the colonies under British rule aided Britain in WWI. They joined willingly. There was no drafting process outside Britain, every person outside the UK under British rule volunteered. People never volunteer to aid nations that are oppressing them.

Adham (if you insist on adding a “h” to JONNY I’ll add one to your name)
So Britain is to blame for Americans supplying certain groups with weaponry? Weaponry that enabled them to take, by force, control over a country who’s leader America disagreed with? Then declare war on the exact same country soon after due to the new leader turning out to be a much larger dictator? That is what you do. You arm people and a few short years afterwards you realise it was a mistake. It isn’t Britain that the middle east keep saying is their main enemy it is America. It is your war, stop denying it every other country knows it is an American war that Britain happens to be involved with. Despite the fact hardly anyone in Britain believes we should have gone to your aid.
We are to blame for the third world status? Really? Heard of Live Aid? Raised millions for Africa. British idea. Yearly we have a massive charity event called Comic Relief raises 100′s of millions for charity and we use a fair percentage in third world countries. We have thousands of organisations that aid third world countries in various ways.

Britain may not have been a perfect empire. It did not however ruin every country it touched. If it was that horrific during its ruling would people from the colonies volunteered to aid Britain? They certainly weren’t expected to fight in WWI but they did on Britain’s side. Yes we conquered by force on occasion, but so has every country that had an empire and our methods were far from the genocide of previous empires. America itself was conquered in pretty much the same way. As far as empires went the British Empire was a lot fairer to its colonies than previous empires as well.

Britain wasn’t the only country that had a foot in South America, genius.
“America has tried to fix the wrongs you’ve caused in various ways.”
No, settlers got sick of the shit going on, revolted, and then kept to themselves and expanded more on building the country than dealing with anyone else’s shit.
“The slogan “The Sun Never Sets on the English Empire” was once true. Too bad your country destroyed every land it occupied and did nothing to clean up the mess.”
You clearly just don’t give a fuck about actual history, do you?

You clearly misunderstand my comments if you feel I cannot comprehend Godwin’s Law. Godwin’s Law has nothing to do with being compared with Hitler. It just basically states that at some point an internet discussion will devolve to include the atrocities of WWII, Hitler and/or the NAZI Party. It is also considered that the first to mention it has killed the thread, lost all credibility and the argument.
Also I stated that we still retained good diplomatic relations with most, not all, of the countries we once ruled. Which is something most empires fail to do after they collapse.

Jonny says: “Godwin’s Law has nothing to do with being compared with Hitler.”
Godwin’s Law has *only* to do with being compared to Hitler and/or the Nazis.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law
“As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a COMPARISON involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1.” (my capitals)
Saying “Hitler was the dude who used to rule Germany” is not a Godwin.
Saying “we’ve never received apology for having our White House torched to the ground, yet saved the UK from the likes of Hitler” is not a Godwin.
Saying “Britain is just like Nazi Germany and Winston Churchill and David Cameron are just like Hitler” IS a Godwin.
Simple concept. Can you grasp it?
Also, Godwin’s Law only relates to the probability of Nazi comparisons arising; it says nothing about the validity of those comparisons.
If you were to compare a Jew-hating white supremacist from Stormfront to the Nazis that would be a Godwin; it wouldn’t be an invalid comparison.

Sorry the confusion is my fault, my comment wasn’t that clear. I have always heard and read that Godwin’s Law states that an internet discussion will eventually turn to involve Hitler, The NAZI Party and the atrocities of the war. I know stating facts like that Hitler and the NAZI Party were in charge doesn’t count but always been taught that anything else such as comments that show off superiority over another nation during this time like “we saved you from NAZI occupancy” or “without us you’d all be German” also count as well as the obvious “You NAZI” or comparing someone to Hitler. That is what I meant not that it doesn’t involve calling someone Hitler. Was half asleep when I wrote it so was almost guaranteed to be a bit confusing.

To quote the wikipedia page you used.
“There are many corollaries to Godwin’s law, some considered more canonical (by being adopted by Godwin himself) than others. For example, there is a tradition in many newsgroups and other Internet discussion forums that once such a comparison is made, the thread is finished and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever debate was in progress”
So basically although not technically a part of the original law it has now become common understanding that it does in fact close the thread and then lose you the argument.

Well Aughust and Exbrony.
If I had not been told by multiple sources, such as lecturers at university, about Godwin’s Law including the mention of phrases such as so-and-so helped what-ever-country in the war and if so-and-so had not what-ever-country would be German/NAZI AND the only conflicting evidence not coming from a Wikipedia page, I would have accepted I may have been slightly mistaken in my definition and humbly accepted the loss.
As for thinking the comments section was for actual discussion and debates. That is what comments sections can be used for in articles. Sorry for believing I should respect a person’s beliefs enough not to come up with a valid argument against the opinions offered. I could always just reply with “you are a racist homophobic xenophobic sexist idiotic dick” if you’d prefer that to a valid counterpoint.
Finally showing my face. I don’t like people I don’t know seeing what I look like. I have no idea what people will do with the image. I am certainly not going to put it on sites such as this. The way I look is of no concern to this discussion.

Freedom of Speech on an American website, your argument is invalid. The moderators are the ones who make the rules, and since you aren’t a moderator, you have no bearing over them whatsoever.
“And that is your problem and why I don’t choose to engage with cretins of your lesser intelligence. You create boxes and seek to control dialogue by placing limitations the problems you present.”
No, we ask you very simple questions that you all decide to completely change the subject on. Billings himself is incredibly guilty of this as well, considering he’ll just randomly ask ‘how was your day’ in the middle of an entirely different conversation. You don’t answer our questions, you change the subject and try to claim like you’re victorious.

“And that is your problem and why I don’t choose to engage with cretins of your lesser intelligence. You create boxes and seek to control dialogue by placing limitations the problems you present.”
I provide my own opinion and back it up with information I know to be truth. In general I don’t provide limitations to anything I ask you. I just state facts and query when confronted with obviously false information what your source is. A source I never receive because it clearly doesn’t exist.
“Life does not ask us a question and provide only two answers. Even a child knows that a simple addition problem does not have two possible answers; the possible answers are infinite, even if only one is correct.

Life does on occasion ask a question which has only two answers. There are things that are certain. My question was a what you prefer question. You stated that the comment section wasn’t a place for a discussion, which by the way is why sites have comments sections, and I replied giving you a choice. Insults or discussions. Simple.
As for valid argument. You do realise there is a MASSIVE difference between a valid argument and a truthful argument. For an argument to be valid all that is required is a conclusion that is truthful and follows for the premise. The premise can be false and the argument can still be valid. For example the following are both valid arguments:
All men are mortal.
Socrates is a man.
Therefore, Socrates is mortal.
and
All cups are green.
Socrates is a cup.
Therefore, Socrates is green.
Even if you take everything I said as false my arguments are valid as my conclusion always fit the premise. And you called me an idiot.
As for accurate insult. I called you a “a racist homophobic xenophobic sexist idiotic d***”. This is very accurate for an insult. You have given some racist comments in the past. You believe that homosexuality is wrong and everyone who is homosexual is evil, that’s homophobic. You keep going on about declaring war on nations that are not America, that’s xenophobic. You have stated men are better than women as they are more fragile in body and mind, that is sexist. You have incorrectly described well known facts, that’s idiotic. If you are all even one of these, with the exception of idiot, you are a d***.
So there you go I have provided you with both valid arguments and accurate insults. So you have the option to choose. Even though to choose between them evidence of neither is really needed to make the decision. You don’t always have to know the options to choose. It is a simple choice.

Also freedom of speech applies everywhere ESPECIALLY private places. I say especially because in a private place there is no one there to get offended. Although you can say whatever you wish in public by law you still limit it to ensure that no one is offended. In a private place self censorship doesn’t matter. No one’s there to get offended, say whatever you like.

Few examples of Private sites: Pay sites and University sites where you can access items relating to staff or students enrolled on a course, online libraries, sites displaying complete records such as birth, death and marriage certificates, sites containing private material (may sound stupid when phrased that way but some employers allow employees to access files from home) and certain government organisations allow employees to do the same.

It is there to provide a base line of nationwide health. I have never understood America’s problem with wanting to ensure that everyone is relatively healthy and looked after. That is what the NHS does.

“The English are more humble than the Americans.”
Perhaps, but I wasn’t talking about the English as a whole, I was talking about Englishmen like you.
Why do you assume that I am American? I most certainly am not.
Also, I know full well that the NHS covers dentistry because when I was squatting in South London my Danish mate came over to visit me and get his wisdom teeth pulled.

OK now on to me being humble. I was stressed the fact everything I listed was stereotype. I am far from arrogant, I disagree with stereotyping and personally think there are a number of stereotypes I listed do not apply to me.
Why do you assume I assume that you were American. I didn’t because I don’t know your nationality. I just stated that the English were more humble than the Americans. I said THE Americans not YOU Americans. I apologise if you believed I was including you in that statement I wasn’t.
If you knew the NHS covers dentistry why ask if it included dentistry? Were you doing it to be annoying again? (Think it is you who has stated being annoying was a hobby sorry if it wasn’t and you can disregard this whole last paragraph)

Well yes, I do know that the NHS covers dentistry because my Danish mate was able to get his teeth pulled on your dime. Something to do with the EU, apparently.
But the stereotype of English people having bad teeth has been reinforced in my own mind by my own experience in seeing English people having terrible teeth, including the Englishman who married my own mother.
Seriously, you people have an NHS! Why do you not go to the dentist?

And another thing: hundreds of thousands of Australians died in your stupid English wars and yet now we have to stand in second-class queues at Heathrow while Germans and Italians get preferential treatment?
What the hell is that all about?

My own great-uncle was gassed on the Western Front, and now I have to wait in line while Fritz von Krautenhammer gets ushered through passport control while I’m just standing there gagging for a smoke and a piss?
It’s perverse, I tell you. It’s not what my great-uncle got gassed for.

Ah so I would be right in thinking you are Australian.
The English go to the dentist quite often, the NHS only covers the basic and no one who is entitled to be on the NHS can afford to get anything above the better treatment on their own. Also the dentist is really expensive if not on the NHS. The reason your friend got treated was because he was an EU citizen. They can get stuff done on thee NHS if they have a certain form to do with health and travel.
Europeans get preferential treatment in European airports. It is because they are a European native.
Personally I don’t really understand why they should let the Europeans get preferential treatment and don’t agree with it. Just because you are not European doesn’t mean you should be treated differently. Other countries do the same. For example I’ve heard it is quicker to get on a plane if you are American flying across America than if you hold a passport from a different country. Make everyone wait around the same time I say.

“Just because you are not European doesn’t mean you should be treated differently.”
Abso-fucking-lutely! My great-uncle got gassed by the Fritz in 1916 and you roll out the red carpet for the Jerries while I’m not even allowed to have a piss or a fag?
My grandfather’s brother got tortured to death by the Japanese during the Second World War. They starved him near enough to death, then they forced him to eat raw rice and stuck a hose down his throat so the rice would swell and rupture his stomach. Then they let him lie there and die in agony of internal bleeding.
What next? You’re going to make me wait in line behind the Japanese tourists? You’re as sick as they are, with all their tentacle porn and the vending machines full of schoolgirls’ knickers.
You British make me sick.

OK then. Well firstly, the people you queue behind are unlikely to have been involved in WWII so I can’t see how letting those tourists in first has anything to do with what their ancestors did.
Secondly I was agreeing with your point about it being unfair you were treated unfairly, yet you are still going off on one about it happening. There is no argument to be had.
Finally on behalf of all British people I would like to thank you for saying we are all sick. We really appreciate that. Especially after agreeing with people over things that we have no control over, it just makes our day. For the christwire lot (I am not including you Exbrony in case you thought I was, pretty sure I’ve seen that you’ve recognised sarcasm in posts before) that was sarcasm I know how you struggle to recognise it sometimes.

Exactly there was no reason to believe WWII would have ended with a German win. It still looked like it was possible that the allied would win without America. America just sped up the process. Britain was doing a very good job of stopping the Germans from invading us and the Russians were a much larger force against Germany.

The NAZI party was fascist. Fascism goes against the principles of communism. If Germany won there would not be a Communist Britain.

First off the Germans would have taken over England.
THEN the USSR would have made the UK part of the western bloc.
This is why if it weren’t for Americans, the UK would be nothing but German commies.
I personally think that every citizen in the United Kingdom should thank the United States for not only saving their culture and preserving some form of capitalism in their nation, but for also making English the most important world language out there.

Germany were no where near defeating England. Their tactics weren’t really working. They never managed to invade England as planned. The USSR would not have taken over England. They never managed to come west enough to even attempt it. The USSR were more concerned with Eastern Europe than western Europe.
Even if what you are suggesting happened England would not give up its culture. It would remain unless every single person was wiped out. As for America making English the most important language. Firstly Mandarin is far more common than English. Secondly if anyone is responsible for spreading English as a language it is the British themselves. What with us having an empire covering a large percentage of this planet. We spread our own language. People continue to learn it as a result.

The global empire is such a thing of the past.
In every household worldwide there is on their radio or television some form of American entertainment on it. Every nation around the world sees America as a beacon of virtue and freedom.
The only Asian nations that teach English due to British influence are India and Singapore. Because of the influence US China, Japan, Korea, and Russia all teach English.
Heck, even the American english accent is more closer to the how the original English was spoken than the incestuous bastardization accent that developed in the United Kingdom.
