No we don't. Most of the stereotypes come from movie and tv which are mainly made in your state.

I think they're an interesting people. I wouldn't be on this forum if I thought otherwise. I think they're a bit naive in valuing (or so they claim) diversity in culture. They seem to want to bring in other peoples from around the world even when there is no logical reason to do so except perhaps as a way of easing their guilt of their imperial past. They seem to be a bit ashamed of their culture and their history. I think they put too much faith in government to look after them. They're suckers for a lot of these global "leftist" schemes like global warming which is really more about enhancing government control rather than saving the planet. They think too highly of soccer. Cricket is an annoying insect, not a sport. They're not that religious which is fine with me since I'm probably in that same boat. The white wigs that people wear in court and the big hair the queen's soldiers wear look silly. They need to get more aggressive in telling the EU to go **** themselves and leave their soverignty alone.

Oh yes, and the teeth thing. I do get the sense that teeth is not as big a priority over there. That may not be fair but I'll tell you what gave me that impression: Tony Blair. That guy had some of the most crooked teeth and if someone over there with that kind of priviledged background never had braces then it must not be as big a deal over there.

Someone who speaks sense.
You're spot on with everything you just said.

If people are going to bash the south maybe this should be taken elsewhere.
