never understood why Yankies, who have much worse oral and other forms of hygiene, think British (or in my case English) have bad teeth... though as anyone knows, Gingivitis (as it is correctly spelt) can be caused by a large amount of reasons, like Smoking which is a favourite hobby for the unwashed mindless yankie masses.. So if you want to go around throwing insults at people, either do it with a touch of humour as to make a joke, or take it to American only places, where racism is a right you can protect while you blast people with your tin-pot guns.

Also impolite (which, by the way, means not showing good manners or being rude) but as my thread in the screens sub-forum said, it doesn't seam to be a problem with the megadrive itself right now (or as you guys call it 'Genesis due to copyright reasons back in the 80s'.)
gee, it's a great welcoming around here isn't it ¬_¬

He actually said f-ing, but the censor puts it to "gingivitus-inviting". I'm curious to see the source of your statement of Americans having worse dental hygiene than the British. But to answer your inquiry, it's because of British actors who Americans may see. For example, Ricky Gervais has quite bad teeth compared to many American movie stars. Not even that it's a bad thing, I feel the idea of having perfectly straight blindingly white teeth is pretty dumb, but that's where the idea comes from. Also, most of the US doesn't smoke anymore, much like most of the world nowadays, so again, I'm curious where you're getting your sources. The US actually has a smaller percentage of smokers than the UK, so there's that. (18.1% of adults in the US, versus 20% in England, 23% in Scotland, 21% in Wales, 24% in N. Ireland).
I do think that Geb was quite rude to you, and to all people from the Great Britain as well, but no need to go to insult all Americans. Also, I do believe his "other *Can'tSayThisOnTV*ing brit" comment was a reference to a particular British person that tends to bring out some hostility in the forum, thus I believe it was supposed to be a joke, albeit a crappy one. And the "Hey, you" is a bit rude, but I do believe, in this case, he was trying to say if you post your problems in the Sega forum you may get related answers, and he is curious/looking forward to your project progress.
While you're pointing out errors, it's "seem," not "seam" in the instances you're using the word, as you're not talking about the line where the edge of two materials touch each other.
That bit of explanation and cheekiness aside, welcome to the forums! Sorry if I came across as hostile or anything, didn't really intend it. I actually am rather curious to see what progress you make, and if you have any electronics questions feel free to ask me. I'm sorry for the rudeness you have experienced thus far, and hope it doesn't continue.

^_^ okay, sorry. I was more referring to American culture as a whole more then any people per say (for some reason, while English TV seams to be okay with stereotyping, as we don't just use the 'loud mouth new yorker' type, American TV seams to have only 3 different types of English person.. bad cockney who was most likely not even from Cheapside, London (a Cockney is a person born within hearing distance of the St Mary Le Bow church bells in Cheapside, London), a 'Queens English' person (often Homosexual) and someone from Manchester with a bad accent..
as for the hygiene. I know a number of people in and around the Dental profession in both the UK and US and it seams in the US, notable 'stars' bleach there teeth to make them white-white which isn't a very safe thing to do, where as Bleaching is kinda starting to take off in the UK, but not as much, also the Average America diet has way more sugars and harmful acids which damage the teeth both visually and internally.
for smoking.. it might have changed since I last looked but I often (and I will admit not always the best option) go via population amount then percentages as for things like smoking, the amount of people is more important. a Smaller percentage of a larger group can still mean a lot more people, a lot more second hand smokers, a lot more smoke related damage etc. I don't think he was well known in the US, but a famous great UK performer called Roy Castle never had a cigarette in his life (or cigar or any other smoking tool) and yet died of second hand smoke (he played in a lot of jazz clubs).
and seem and seam is kind a blind spot for me ^_^ sorry about that, but when I get a bit annoyed I do tend to forget my spellcheckers don't work in context.
In the UK we often make fun of each other etc, but it's normally in.. I'm not sure the best way to refer to it, but a lot of Americans often don't quite understand it and believe some of us are at each others throats.
I was going to post in the Sega section about what I'm doing when I get past the 'knowing it works' stage.. I see the first step is to get the parts and know they work before cutting and soldering and screwing about. I got about 21 steps worked out and I'm on step 3 so far. though a couple of the steps may not be needed (depends on how things go)..
Oh and.. you can keep Ricky Gervais.. sooner we get rid of him the better ¬_¬; part of the modern day English ... person that has pretty much killed off the old time British TV comedy.

Everything i've ever seen him do he comes off as irritatingly smug, something about it just rubs me the wrong way.
Ricky does the same kind of thing, and I hate his stand up (seriously, he's awful) but as a writer of a TV show, he's really good at it. Extras, The Office and Idiot Abroad are all gold tbh.
