I am a proud Canadian, and I spend a lot of time in the U.S. and UK. While I am Canadian, I am also British, so I have to admit that this is an important distinction. I am a Canadian, but I am also British.
Well, like I said, I am proud of this distinction, because it’s just one of many. I am proud of being Canadian, and I am proud of being British. I don’t pretend to be a “normal” Canadian or British. I am Canadian and I am not British, and I am proud of my differences.
The difference between being Canadian and being British is in how you treat people. Being Canadian is to assume that people will treat you as you will be treated. Being British is to assume that people will treat you as you would like to be treated. Being Canadian and being British are the same, but not at the same time. It is a big difference.
The more important difference is that being British means being respectful of other cultures. Being Canadian is to assume that everyone will treat you as you will like to be treated. Being British is to assume that everyone will treat you as you have been treated.
I am British. I am proud of the fact that I am British because I am proud that I have been treated as British. I am Canadian. I am proud of being Canadian because I am proud that I have been treated as Canadian. I am proud of being British to the extent that I have been treated as having a British accent.
One of the most common arguments to justify being British is that being British allows you to be a better person (a la “because I’m British I can be nicer to my mother”). This is not necessarily true. Being British is not the same as being a better person. This is not a person who is kind and gentle and kind to others. This is a person who will not harm others. It’s a person who will not damage the property of others.
Being British is the same as being a person with a British accent. The only difference is that being British has a positive connotation and being a person with an accent has a negative connotation. Now that you’ve been made to believe that being British is a negative connotation, you should feel free to believe that being a person with an accent is also a negative connotation. It’s a connotation that everyone has to live with.
Being a posh person in the UK is a positive connotation. But being a posh person in the UK is different to being a posh person in the US. Being a posh person in the US is the same as being a posh person in the UK. Being a posh person here is a positive connotation, but being a posh person here is different to being a posh person in the UK.
Our group of posh people is on holiday to an English beach house in the middle of nowhere. But when they return they find that their posh friend has vanished, leaving them to do everything by themselves. Their posh friend is not actually a posh person, but the entire reason they are here is because of him. His name is Mark.
A posh person is someone who is very, very posh. The name is generally used because the person has the correct set of manners, but also because the person is a bit nicer than the average person. We’re posh people because we have all the right manners and because we don’t really do any of those awful things the average person does.
