For example, the reason I took issue with "They are way more clean and sophisticated than most British girls their age". That's a pretty far fetched statement to make, and also not needed. Why compare two American playboy models to thousands of young, non famous Brits. Makes no sense whatsoever.
Judging from your sentence before that regarding "TOWIE, Geordie Shore and Jeremy Kyle", what has that to do with anything? Did you make that generalisation based on a small percentage of the teenagers that appear on these shows?

That would be like judging all American twenty-somethings based on Jersey Shore. Or judging all rich people based on the Kardashians. That is what doesn't make sense in my mind.

Maybe that's not how you wanted it to come across, and I don't believe you are outright "attacking" the UK, but the way you word things and some statements you make are very baffling to me.

im saying the twins have come across as more dignified and more mature than anyone their own age, British or American. Obviously you arn't in America, and neigther are most people on this forum, so i use British girls as the example, because you don't know American girls, i was comparing them to British girls on reality shows that are also glamour models and seem to be exploiting their bodies and sex appeal in the same way as a playboy model and their same age.

I'm just saying they seem more confident and self aware then most women their age. That's what i was applauding. Has nothing to do with American or British.

I'm liking the twins more and more...even though they're not as pretty as Natalie's mate apparantly, the one who's '....******ing an estate agent', she should have tried ******ing Hefner instead, like those smart twins

And that's where my problem was. We don't know Americans too well in general and you the same about Brits. Yet you used a generalised term about British teenagers. Perhaps had you generally said a "lot of girls their age", but directly referring to a nationality is what I feel isn't needed at every other point. I accept you didn't mean to offend and that's not what you meant, but that's what your statement said.

Not to mention the original debate was pointless anyway as I was joking about STD's.

Obviously we don't know any one on TV, we just know what we see on these shows, i was comparing them to the stereotypes and the usual behavior we expect from good looking girls on TV, anyways, There's no reason to think they'd have an STD.

Your post could have been more specific to what you were referring to, that's why I took issue. But never mind, we'll move on.

And I'll say it for the umpteenth time, I DO NOT think the twins have STD's. IT WAS A JOKE. * They probably have regular checks doing what they do.

* = sarcasm.
