Welcome to Outer Heaven
I am from the UK, and I tend to bash my country a lot. You want to know why? This country is populated with inbred chavs who think they are hard and think they are funny, because they want to throw abuse to people. Anyone, who is not a chav basically. And before I get people saying to me, what a jab is, it is basically what you people described (Stabbings, violence for no reason, that doesn't narrow it down, Google it). Heck, I was beaten up by TEN. Yes, Ten pussies because I was walking my girlfriend back home. And from the stories I hear about on the news, Execution needs to be brought back, so we can send these mugs to hell.

Am I proud to be a British person? No, I am not. I am not proud our country is being controlled by someone who depicts himself as the second Adolf Hitler, I am not proud that most of the teens here find the best reason to live by beating people up, trying to make themselves king of the country and causing crime for no reason. You can call me an abnormal Brit, but that means, I am not like the rest of these scum who stabs, and fight for no reason :D

Some stereotypes I don't really get... the teeth one mainly. Granted, where I live, there are many, maaaaaany disgusting cretins who live here who literally only have a couple of teeth each. That aside, pretty much everyone else I ever see has fairly normal teeth. Maybe it's not as artificially perfect over here as it is in America, but whatever... I've never worn braces or anything and my teeth look fine.

I don't drink tea either. Fuck stereotypes!

What exactly is a Chav? I looked it up, but I'd rather hear an explanation from a person from Britain.

I think that since the FOX unit was part of the CIA, that they'd have given Zero some specifications to how it would be acceptable to run things, which probably meant that bagging your turds and carrying them around with you was tossed out the window, it'd be stupid anyway since even if it was bagged, the stench would've leaked out eventually, and I don't know about you but I'm pretty sure I'd be able to smell it if some random guy was crawling through the bushes carrying a bag of his own shit, especially if he put that and urinated in the same bag...yeah...not very stealthy.

Well the term Chav is used to describe someone who typically wears tracksuit bottoms, hoodies, maybe planted with several hundred rings, sometimes burberry caps or whatever they are called and they carry knives or guns. They will talk in some stupid form like

Chav
 
Lyk dis bruv, wateva blud, u has to shat app innit


Yeah, I don't expect you to understand that, but if you can voice it, you'll understand what I mean by deformed people in the UK. They bully people, they don't have any respect for elder people, if an innocent old man walks by, they will shove him for no reason. Then they will probably beat the crap out of him. They mostly have aggressive looking dog with them, and they tend to drink a lot, take a lot of drugs and will do anything for attention. They have POOR education, often not going to school because they are 'bored' of school, and they tend to get their girlfriend pregnant before she is even 16. They listen to shitty music called 'Rave', you may have heard of it, but it sounds horrible. (Not all 'Rave' songs, but mainly ones that are logoed with cannabis plants on the cover). They will hang around in parks, vandalise them and make graffiti all over it. Like...

(Name of person) 2K13

They mainly wear Addids and Nike clothing all around, they can't write andthey will beat on anyone. Yes, anyone. You can mind your own business and they will STILL beat on you


Basically, they are people who are better off dead in the eyes of a person who wishes for them never to exist, here is an example of chavs

Manchester Chavs



Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. If you see a female chav, chances are she is probably orangier than a carrot. Yes, female chavs look like clowns with their make up. Lipstick all around their bottom part of their face, heavy eye make up, and heavy facial make up. And here is another example of a female chav kicking off with people on a train

Stupid Chav Bitch starting her mouth on a train

I used to know the reason why the UK drives on the left but I forget it :(

Supposedly the left-hand traffic thing originated in ancient Europe - most people are right-handed so traveling on the left side of paths and roads would make it easier to draw their swords with their good hand if an enemy or whatever passed, and over many centuries this became a custom and eventually a law. And supposedly in places like America where there is a huge amount of land that people had to cross with their belongings and goods, they had to use much larger wagons then were used back in England where there were shorter distances to travel, so the Americans would sit on the horse on the left so he could use his whip with his right hand, and keep to the right side to avoid hitting the wheels of passing wagons (presumably because if you were sitting on the left and also driving on the left would make it so that you'd have to look to the right over your other horse(s) to steer clear of passing wagons which would be pretty difficult). Also, by the time the American colonies were around nobody carried swords any more.

According to Wikipedia none of this has ever been "proven" as there aren't any first-hand legal documents from ancient eras or anything like that, but it all seems logical.

*Here's my contribution to the topic.
**Respectfully addressing every European nation. This is based on what I have witnessed.

- England:
They are, like the French, mostly praised and beloved solely for their accent.
On the other hand, they are referred to as the Britts, Britons, Redcoats.. But that was mostly sparked when I was in a history class. Everybody thinks Harry Potter is all they watch and read (these are the views mostly amongst teenagers). I also remember somebody bombarding me with articles and videos about how they're among the most racist people in the world. *I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting somebody from Great Britain personally, but I will never judge them, or anybody, beforehand. They have the benefit of the doubt. Additionally, their "only" drink is tea. This is next one I heard recently: their royalty, the princess, to be more exact, is renowned for being a porn star thanks to paparazzi. I personally couldn't believe my ears.

- Spain:
Killers of bulls for recreation, pronouncing the letters "C" and "Z" like a "th", and people who don't shower for days. All they eat is paella. Their only sport is soccer, and nobody understands why they allow Portugal to "take up" the western chunk of the country. Enrique and Julio Iglesias is the only music they listen to. Relatively racist. *I had a teacher and classmate (her daughter) from Spain, and they were kind people who did not smell poorly nor had a boring diet. They did have an accent but that's only natural. They were pretty fun and I received no disrespect from them whatsoever. They loved soccer but it wasn't the only sport they were willing to try.

- France:
BINGE drinkers. The only drink they ever have is cognac. Their diet consists of pure bread. They have the coolest language and accent in the world, and will degrade anybody who thinks otherwise. The Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Pyramid, "The Glass Pyramid", are the only attraction sites; everybody wants to go to this place, supposed to be so romantic. Paris is the only good town. Napoleon Bonaparte was the man. This nation saw the people's princess, Princess Diana, die and "did nothing".... *I personally wanted to slap the person who said that for so not knowing what they're talking about. They were cruel; they loved beheading people with the guillotine just for the fuck of it. Everybody has a gold mine in their backyards.

- Switzerland
All they eat is cheese, cheese, and cheese.

- Italy:
All they eat is pasta and bread. They love alcoholic beverage, but don't compare with the French, who, remember, are BINGE alcohol drinkers. They have the best cuisine in the world (I personally kinda agree with that one; I dream of eating authentic Italian food someday, but I don't "establish" that like most people do). They are the saviors of our diets and tastebuds for inventing pizza. They are characterized for pronouncing the "R", like.. "Pizzerrrrrrrrrria". The only cheese they consume is Parmesan. >.< They're all Catholics. They gotta go visit The Pope everyday and listen to him.

- Germany
Ahh. Nazis. Killers of Jews. The most racist people in the planet. Bore Adolf Hitler (poor kids don't realize he was Austrian xD) he's the governor of Germany (some people act like.. he's still alive or his way of ruling is still totally being conducted). Stay away from that country unless you want to get beheaded. They are always killing people. They started World War II.

- Turkey
Obviously, all they eat is turkey.
*Seriously. Somebody said that to me one time.

- Ukraine
Holy shit, don't go there. That place's radioactive. Nuclear power plants are always detonating. O.o

- Hungary
The starving country. Everybody's "hungry" there.

- Austria
The classical music origin. Mozart's all the music there's available.

- Netherlands
Beautiful country, with flowers everywhere. The only thing killing it is how racist the people are.

- Greece
Ahh. The mathematicians. All those people talk about is math. They also invented yogurt. Greek yogurt. Totally their idea. They live mythical lives. They also worship naked people. That's how their gods are protrayed. After finishing their mathematical problems, they go worship every single one of they thousands of gods they have: Zeus, Hera, Apollo, Dionysus, etc. People aaaaaaaall dress in togas.

...Those are the top stereotypes that I have heard.
