So I suddenly discovered that I would like to start a discussion about accents(accents used when speaking English). What accents do you like? Are there any accents that appeal to you more than others? Do you like the sound of a certain accent? Spill it all here! Personally, I am quite fond of the standard POSH accent. It is usually associated with the bourgeoisie, but I still like the sound of it. Nice on the ear, and no matter what you say, you sound like you know a lot about it. Alongside this topic: How do you feel about my accent? fJEwWQJN1hs * Here I am speaking English with my natural English speaking accent. I am trying to lean as much as I can towards POSH, but I hear a lot of stuff about it, like: "Perfect British accent" - My English teacher(from Norway). "POSH"/"Like an old English person" - A bloke from Leeds, UK. "A bit heavy accent" - A bloke from somewhere in Florida, the US. "Wicked" - A bloke from somewhere in Australia. "Sounds like Stewie from Family Guy" - A bloke in my class(from Norway). "A weird mix of POSH, Strine and Middle-Norway accent" - Me. What do you think about this accent? I would like some constructive criticism. I do feel that this thread contributes, and I searched, but could not find any thread similar to this. Sorry if there is one already. * I am wearing a hat, not a towel. It might look like a towel, but it is a hat.

(I answered these before I read any other answers.) Case A: I will stand up again, and if I am able to, I will laugh. If I am not able to laugh, I will take the pain as good as I can and pretend nothing happened. Case B: Say: "If you don't want me to look at them, don't give me anything to look at." Case C: Laugh with them. :lol: Case D: Hmm... Awkward... If I know myself right, I would probably comment the room we are in or the weather, or something. :oops: Edit: Touché! :D

Depends a lot on who I'm around. I usually only curse when I'm on my own or with people who also swear. I never swear much, though; I think swearing a lot is a bad habit. I never swear around people I've just met, as I don't know how they might react to it.

The only thing I care about is the Iraq War. McCain says he can stay in Iraq for 100 more years, while Obama wants to end it right away and try to rebuild Iraq. Obama - the lesser of two evils! Ch-ch-changes!

I am against death penalty, and I think lethal injection is the silliest way to execute someone. It is extremely painful, expensive and inhumane, yet it doesn't look scary. It is the opposite of what an execution should be. Gallows, on the other hand, is very quick(if done properly) and quite scary. Cheap and practical. If someone is too fat, you can just use a stronger rope. Anyhow, the best execution method is the guillotine. *Chop*, and you're dead. It is a huge machine which shops your head off, and blood is spilled everywhere. :D

In this case, you can find no better description of me than "grammar fascist". If someone has an accident misspelling or misplacing once in a while, I can tolerate that, but if someone puts something on a forum without reading through it at all, as if they are afraid the internet will crash before their message is posted, I could not take them serious at all. You know how to solve global warming? wel cuz u typ lyk diz i wunt tak u srius lul But correct grammars are not important, you get the point anyways! Oh, really? There are no rules in incorrect grammar, people can just make up any abbreviation they like, which can suddenly kill the meaning. Better safe than sorry. Can you take some meaning out of this phrase? "y ppl say if u it otr ppls mail ur sik cuz ur not lol" And I am sure you have all heard about this before: "Hang him do not, wait until I have arrived." "Hang him, do not wait until I have arrived." An innocent person died because of a misplaced comma! :ohnoes: We may not be in an English classroom now, but please show that you have been in one. :shame:

I don't know where I would start if I had the option. -.- The most unethical thing I think about, eh? Sometimes I want to throw a baby far up in the air just to see what happens when it lands. :?

A life for a life. Rather than killing someone, I choose to revive the biggest star of them all! Karl Marx! Oh, that's not allowed? :ohnoes: Then I would try to kill someone who's death will benefit humanity, and not killing someone just because they are annoying. John McCain would be a good candidate, as it would end the risk of the Iraq War continuing. As soon as Obama wins, Obama will end the war and everyone is happy.

Perhaps sharks don't eat humans because we taste crap? Hmm.... * Takes a bite * I taste chicken... And chicken always makes me noxious, so I'll stay away from manflesh for now.

Define 'developing'. Many animals have established extraordinary cultures, without harming the planet in any way. Just because they don't fit into our society, it doesn't make us superior.

Are you ready for a weird one? [hide=Weeeeeeeeeird dream]Evil creatures were taking over the sea. We had to stop them. I cannot recall the name of these creatures, but they looked a little like Aquaman, only completely black, and with three legs. The team consisted of me, my dad, my grandmother, my cousin(Olenik2's sister), a captain and Basil Fawlty from Fawlty Towers(!). We went into a boat to go to a special place where we suspected we would find some of there creatures. This boat happened to look a lot like my grandparents' house. When we sailed for a while, I and my cousin watched the sailor and Basil sail the ship through a window, and listened to a conversation they were having. Captain: "Do you know what these creatures look like?" Basil: "No." Captain: "Then look behind you!" Basil looked behind him, and saw that one of those creatures had gotten into the boat. Basil said: "I have heard that you creatures eat people. I am sure glad that is not going to happen to me!" Then he realised that this creature was one of those creatures, and panicked. :wall: Suddenly, it was night, and everyone except me was sitting in a sofa. I asked why, and my dad said that at night, a creature would enter the boat and eat one of us. I immediately panicked, and gathered a lot of pillows to build a shelter. I had a stressful time of making the shelter, and when I was nearly done, I heard that a creature entered the room. And that was when I woke up.[/hide] Do not tell me that I don't need help. :P

Taking a stand is like setting a marker on a line and calling everything to the left of the marker white, and call everything on the right side black, in other words, making everything in the world either black or white. ___|_______________ For instance: I don't drink alcohol for fun. Therefore, I say that drinking alcohol by accident or for medical use is white*, while drinking alcohol for any other reason is black*. It is the same thing about eating organisms. Most vegetarians say that eating anything with a brain(not counting emergencies) is black, while eating something else is white. Meat-eaters usually say that eating another human being(not counting emergencies) is black, while eating something else is white. And about hypocrisy, it is mostly found amongst the meat-eaters. [*:2ovqw2jd] Most of the people I know would never eat an animal they just saw get slaughtered. [*:2ovqw2jd] Quite a few people refuse eating 'cute' animals, because they have a right to live and continue being 'cute'. [*:2ovqw2jd] Hardly any meat-eater would eat another human being. A human has a brain and a nervous system just like animals. Saying that we are superior is hypocrisy. * If you try to get something racist out of this, I must say that you are extremely silly. As far as I know, there are people no people who are black or white. This is a common confusion; a person's skin might have a certain colour, but not the person itself. And by the way, the colour of people's skin go from grey-pink-yellow-ish to dark brown. (If I am not horribly wrong, which occurs once in a while. Nevertheless, I am rather sure that no people have skin which is completely white or black. Not even albinos.) And don't continue a discussion about this, it is far off topic.

My guess will be that it is probably global warming or one of those asteroids that will hit us in a few years. I am so naive that I don't think we are stupid enough to kill ourselves in a war.

Thanks for the... Constructive criticism, Nadril. And thank you very much for your detailed feedback, Tripsis. I have now taken a whole different direction, and the site now looks a little more like this: [hide=The newer layout][/hide] It is said that this is a lot better than those other two layouts, so I updated to this. I plan on releasing more colour-skins in the same layout(the tree layout was never released). Please suggest what other colours that should be added.

Those who said that should be heavily rehabilitated, and whoever brainwashed them should be shot. That's actually not a stupid question. There are several stages of vegetarianism, and quite a few Hindus eat meat. The fact that you don't eat eggs doesn't have to mean you don't drink milk.

Quite close! 93 here. 107?

Six!

So how do you like them apples? Or this layout? [hide=New layout(never released)][/hide] This is how I was thinking to have the new portal for Kvurple.com. The problem is that both I and the other members of Kvurple.com's staff think that there is something that doesn't fit right with the layout. I would say that there is something about the colours. What do you think would improve this layout, comparing to the old one? [hide=Old layout][/hide] After taking a whole different direction, the site now looks a little more like this: [hide=The newer layout][/hide]

I highly recommend Skype over MSN as well. PS: I'm lonely. Add me! ceaserian.ogly.

Haha! With my -9.88, I am the one furthest to the left! In thy face, Lenin! :twisted:

Stupid comments, eh? "Is the Qur'an the bible of the Jews?" - Some bloke I used to go to school with. "So you mean that we like don't have to go to school tomorrow?" - Some blokette in my class. "No, it's not like that, it is that!" - Teacher's response towards unwise use of the word "like" :lol: (Sadly, this incident lost some meaning in the translation from Norwegian to English) "LOL NO!" - My mum when I asked her if I was planned. :| "You don't want to know why your parents got a divorce." - My stepfather to the nine year-old me who of course would settle with that, and not wonder about that matter. :-k

It is about what people are allowed to do. Liberal: People can do whatever they want to do. Authoritarian: The governments decide what people can do.

Well, here's l'il Trot-Trot! [hide=Trot Trot][/hide]

Sadly, a human is not a bird or a bat. Those creatures are natural flyers, and have bodies constructed so that their wings can be folded in. A human is not a natural flyer, so we would need much bigger wings to fly, and those wings would not be folded in that easily. Look at this dragon, for instance: [hide=Look! A big image of a dragon!][/hide] Now, would these wings be able to carry a dragon? If you ask me, I wouldn't say that looks likely, and still, the dragon can't fold the wings entirely. A better example? :oops: OK... The white-tailed eagle has a wingspan of about 200 cm, and a weight of about 5 kg. If we now use very rough mathematics, and look away from the fact that there are probably other factors that are important, a person with the weight of 70 kg would need a wingspan of 28 metres, that's 14 metres(about 45 feet) per wing, and not too easy to fold. And let's not forget the height of these wings, we will probably have a few meters there too. This is not really accurate, but I hope you get the idea.
