Because it is?

Damn, I looked at it a dozen times and missed that. Strange.

Americans are no stupider than the people of other countries.

I didn't say there are no stupid people in other countries, but Americans are just so much more offensive and conspicuously stupid than anyone else.

Anybody who spells "spelled" as "spelt" is an obvious stupid limey who doesn't know shit from Shinola!

'Spelt' is correct, so stick your dumbed-down yank spelling up your arse!

There's probably a conspiracy where some Americans are hacking into your account and misspelling words for you. Damn Yanks!

Might be. I think it's probably more of a neuron malfunction though, like when you go to the fridge to find something but can't see it even though it's right in front of your face.

Anybody who says "arse" instead of "ass" is also a stupid limey; they should be forced to wear a sign around their neck that says "Kick me."

It's called 'American spelling' for a reason you moron. 'America' is one country, is it not? Do you really think the English are the only people who can spell?

I love British-isms - don't you get bored hearing the same terminology all the time? You can double your repertoire of insults - bollocks, arse, wanker, etc.

No, I think the Phlems take first place.

I like minimal changes with maximum effects.

How about a world where no human being is able to utter a lie.

The second they start saying something they know to be a lie, they would choke up and unable to say it.

Guess what it would do to politicians, many businessmen, fraudsters and other low-lives?

Utopia evolves and is a work in progress I think, so I guess it would be a lot like Star trek.

I just watched an episode of "The Next Generation" on Netflix.

Watching Star Trek is an escape from reality for me.

My all-time favourite is Captain Picard’s speech to a group of earthmen from the 20th century, who had been in suspended animation. He told them that money had no meaning in the 24th century, and the only challenge was realizing one’s creative potential (Star Trek The Next Generation, Season 1 episode 26 “The Neutral Zone”).

Yeah that's good example of roughly where I'm coming from, although in "my" utopia money would have it's place. It would serve humanity and not the other way around
