Does anyone have one of the "funny British accent" bumper stickers that they are willing to give up?  One of our students from the last BF shoot has a daughter going to Oxford (yeah, the one in England) and he's trying to locate that bumper sticker.  They are out of stock in the Appleseed store.

Also, any SBs with a spare red hat, please PM me.

"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
- Benjamin Franklin (Notes for a proposition at the Pennsylvania Assembly, 1775)

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom — go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!"
- Samuel Adams (Speech, State House of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, August 1, 1776)

Why do most Americans mock a British accent when we created the language in the first place?



Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.

The way to procure insults is to submit to them: a man meets with no more respect than he exacts.
- William Hazlitt

A slander is like a hornet; if you can't kill it dead the first time, better not strike at it.

I am a poor man, but I would gladly give ten shillings to find out who sent me the insulting Christmas card I received this morning.
- George Grossmith

Insults should be written in sand, compliments should be carved in stone.
- Arab Proverb

Why do most Americans mock a British accent when we created the language in the first place? Hence why the language is called English, surely we were first to speak it, so why do they laugh?

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."  one who has not qualified himself with the M-16 may not be considered to be a responsible citizen."

—Jeff Cooper, The Art of the Rifle

"Terrorism is the best political weapon, for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death."
-- Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) German Nazi Dictator
 

"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in

   I think the "silly British accent" is kinda tongue-in-cheek humor, something which "helps make the point" of the bumpersticker.
"Ready to eat dirt and sweat bore solvent?" - Ask me how to become an RWVA volunteer!

     What about it, do-nothings? You heard the man, jump on in...

Probably the same reason we say that we don't speak German and raise a hand in the air????

Might have something to do with Liberty and Freedom, but then that is just a thought...
