Answer to:
Do you speak with an Accent according to your culture,or do you have a more "Induvidual" Style of speaking? What accent do you like to listen to?* I speak with a slight British accent, mind you I am a Brit, but the problem is when we speak several languages we get them all mixed up and begin to loose the essence of our own trade mark. All accents are interesting and allow us to tell where our friends and others are from. I love the Southern US and French accents. . Regards.

Let's not forget that many users don't read the whole answer so they can easily misjudge...

What could be more appalling than to hear a father call his son "a masturbating mustard brain" in front of mixed company? It is incredible that a father would say such a horrible thing to his son in front of others. If it happens that man would need some parenting and education lessons to learn how to gain respect from his son. If what the father is saying is true, he should deal with his son about the subject alone and without company, there is no need to shame the son. Regards.
