The wisest, most advanced group of people on the planet.
This is due to England's ideal spot on Earth, along with a combination of rich history, flat farming landscapes, varied weather and ideal temperatures.
People living in England have evolved and continue evolving faster than the rest of the world.
The fact the English are on average 10 generations more advanced, subjects them to jealousy, accusations of arrogance, misunderstanding and fascination from the rest of the world.

Get the English people mug.The United States is a nation of immigrants, with residents that speak a number of different languages and have ties to a number of different cultures. Presently, the United States does not have an official language, although according to the 2000 U.S. Census, 92 percent of the U.S. population over the age of 5 speaks English.
Legislation making English the official language would have serious unintended repercussions. For example, it would eliminate bilingual education services, prohibit the use of a translator in court, ban the use of another language by employees of the federal government, and bar the printing of any government documents in other languages. Paradoxically, making English the official language would probably result in less people speaking English because non-English speakers would no longer receive information on English classes. Such a policy would also pose a public safety issue by prohibiting a federal law enforcement agent from using a language other than English to gather information about a crime and question potential suspects or victims.
While I do believe all people residing in this country should learn English, making it the "official language" is not the way to go. That is why I would vote to make English the national and unifying language of the United States. Making English the "national and unifying" language rather than the "official" language avoids the unintended consequences discussed above. Instead of focusing our energies on making English the official language of the United States, we should do everything possible to ensure that our new citizens and residents have the opportunity to achieve English proficiency so they are able to fully participate in our society.

English people are people part of the british society. Let me clear things up.
1.Not all English people have bad teeth. Infact, the majority of teens today have perfect teeth because with the NHS, if you're under 16 we get braces for free.
2. Yes, most of us drink a high amount of tea. But not all of us like it, or drink it.(Stereotype).
3. We're not jealous of Americans.
4.We're not all pussies. I'd like to see you got to south london and try and start a fight.
5. Not every one of us hates americans.
6. I know alot of people who are amazing on Xbox.
7. Yes, we swear a lot. I honestly don't see the need for the word 'fuck' used about 5 times in a sentance.
8. We have alot of hot people in this country too.
9. There are many different accents, we're not all posh. I come from the south, so a southern accent can be quite harsh. Like a farmer.
Basically, what I'm trying to get at is if you actually met us you'd realise that we are the exact opposite of what you think we are.
