    I love the south coast accents, all the way from Kent to Cornwall, with a bit of Wiltshire and Somerset thrown in for good measure. Don't hear enough of them because they're in the south, and the media does its cultural balancing act by having announcers from the north. and southern announcers are all London based.

    That's because according to the media, London is the centre of the universe and certainly the only settlement in the entire south.

    As for sexy accents, I quite like French ones. Female scouse accents can be quite entertaining too.

    East End accents are horrible, I dunno anyone who likes them.

    The worst has to be a young woman with a Brummy accent...went to uni with 2 lovely girls (until they opened their mouths).

    Ah, I meant the accents of the Southern states in reference to a horrible video posted earlier regards a woman, a gay son, and some ignorance. I guess there are negative associations with the Southern states, but quite like the twang. Could be a sentiment I have to a small american film I like set there. However I do like Southern England accents too. I still have a trace of my Southampton accent that people pick up on from time to time.

    Dude in that video is from Kennesaw, GA. That's the town where every family is required to own a gun. Yep, you read that right. By law, every household must own a gun.

    Also, those people have Appalachian accents as opposed to Southern.

    God, some people are stupid. I spent 45 minutes earlier arguing with some dumb bitch who was convinced that Atlantis was real.

    I know someone (who I can't even be bothered to argue with) who does not believe in evolution. He informed me that God scattered dinosaur and other fossil bones around to test our faith!

    I'm not religious, but I thought of this the other day: What if heaven was overcrowded and God then sent down dinosaur bones and inspired Darwin to make people doubt God's existence and only let in the true believers?

    First moment I saw that goatee I said, get that fur coat off your chin..! There are some blokes who can wear a fuzz and some just look older and untidy. His makes him look his age.

    I honestly do not think evolution and creationism are necessarily incompatible. I also don't think the seven days of creationism is literally seven days either.

    Religion was born of humankind's lack of understanding and knowledge of the The Sun, Moon, space and Earth itself before science explained how things evolved. There has always been a quest for the reason for man's existence and creating an all powerful higher being living above the clouds in "Heaven" was just a way explaining that question. It is no wonder that a comet was seen as some sort of portent from God.
    There are many Christian values that are important for the evolution of human relations such as compassion and brotherly love, but there is also dangers in the misinterpretation of text that was written over 2,000 years ago when the world was a very different place

    It's less Laps, the big bang nucleosynthesis is estimated to have taken about 20 minutes about 13 billion years ago.

    What interests me greatly is, what was there before it banged?
