Figures---I only dislike haters, liars and snobs.
Have you ever considered that if everyone looks like a hater to you, that you might actually be the hater?

I had just finished lunch and am entirely myself, thank you. I am always grateful for my country and everything my God has given me. That is not dependent on my stomach.
Wait, was that tirade about accents serious?

That is the point---not everyone looks like a hater to me. Just those who talk like one.

It was and it was in response to these comments.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume the subtitles are meant for the hearing impaired, not for people who struggle with his accent (which, I have read, he keeps fresh with a language trainer).

Interesting. When he was governor of California he supposedly hired someone to help him tone it down a bit and found little success in doing so. While I am throwing out questionable facts about Mr Schwarzenegger's accent he was also supposedly not allowed to do the german dub of his dialogue in The Terminator as his accent is more rural and would be like having someone with a thick southern accent doing the english dub of a foreign film character.

Apparently you've never had an accent for people like that to disdain.
You are taking this entirely too seriously and personally. Nothing in my posts was meant as disparaging and your tirade in response to it is so unreasonable that I thought was a joke.

This will be my last contribution to this expedition into the weeds and I apologize for spawning it.

Along with his muscles it what he’s best known for, no one was mocking him.

I thought it was a great message, well delivered, by the way, although he started to lose me with the sword bit.

Admit it, if you had Conans sword, you would bring it up every chance you had.

But we forgive him--Conan was his breakout role.

It was a bit cringe and not all that accurate in terms of the reality of metal working but not the point of the comparison. The point comes through even if the metaphor was not perfect.

Bring it up? I would move to Texas so I could legally walk around with the thing whenever I could.
