(Be honest).<br /><br />I&#039;m not British but I&#039;ve never noticed that, in fact, I think there is more hate amongst Brits(preference in accent, region, country) than hate being pointed at other countries. *hate is a strong word, dislike is better.

Yeah, it&#039;s bad but for one night stands no one is expecting anything out of it, especially not a child. But an STD should be expected.
