He sounds English to me (among others) regardless of where he grew up.

There's a fella in my crew that moved here from Trinidad when he was 7 yet he has an island accent.

You must have lived in a cave if the only 'English' person you ever heard speak until Snatch aired was Lennox Lewis.

There was the "Dare" song by gorillaz :lookaroun

Turn me off,Turn me off...Its Dare Woo!

I am neither rich, nor powerful, yet I benefit from the American system.

You should really clarify what you mean by this, before I would want to answer it. Really you sound like a doomsday theorist who sees the end coming and it's going to be bad.

Don't get me wrong, I'm talking about basic social rights which other western countries take for granted, like the right to get medical treatment regardless of income. It's just puzzling how the worlds richest country have not even achieved this, while at the same time America is also the country with the richest elite. It's a perfect case in point regarding capitalism and inequality.

Everyone has the right to get medical treatment just like they have the right to buy bread.

The next thing will be the right to have a house or apartment to live in.

Does the UK have capatilism or not?

You must have been in another dimension when I said that.

I haven't heard Lennox Lewis sound anything like a Canadian. He's a poser, eh?

Sure, however money might buy you treatment that actually ensures your survival.

Edit: I'm not going to go on in a debate about your medical system. It's widely known to be lacking for people with no insurance (John Kerry had it on his agenda I believe). It's funny though how people will defend the system seeing as the opportunity for the carrot is there, instead of trying to ensure themselves and others worse off better rights..

The same goes for bread.
