Good grief.
I don't dislike any accents, but when I was in Costa Rica it was difficult for me to understand the accents there.
Lol, I was joking the whole time. I'm not offended at all
I bet you were.=\
I was trolling. But in all seriousness if you want me to be offended than by all means just say so.
There's nothing to be offended about though, and calling someone a racist just for a reaction is nasty even if you were joking, its not something to joke about.
So according to you joking about anything would be considered nasty to you. It's just a joke so please chill out.

I don't hate them, but I have no care for them. Except for some, which I will not list out.
No, I said calling someone a racist for a joke is nasty. c;
I'm fine with actual good jokes. c:
Ta-ta I'm bored now...
It depends what kind of humor you have and the way you look at things. Nothing is truly nasty and nothing is truly good either. I personally don't think it was nasty at all, it's funny. Anyways if you wanna be butthurt over my joke than that's on you, not me. buh bye.

I actually like them, I think they're cool. (especially irish accents, I looooove Irish accents) I'm not particularly fond of the north jersey/New York ones, but they've grown on me over the years. not a big fan of southern accents either, but I wouldn't say I hate them.

I don't dislike any accents, though I have strong pronunciation preferences which I keep in mind are my *own* problem when speaking with those who say those words differently (herb as "erb", literally as "litrally", derby as "derby" instead of "darby" et al).
I don't really have much trouble understanding different accents. I grew up in a part of Melbourne, Australia which had an incredibly diverse range of nationalities, languages, and cultures represented. I know my parents still struggle to follow even mildly thicker or heavier accents, but my 3 sisters and I can usually follow anything. If not, it's almost always a problem of words being incorrectly spoken together, rather than each word separately, something that commonly happens with ESL speakers as they learn the language. A quick redo of the key words, and appropriate pronunciation of them, always fixes that problem. Enunciation is difficult, especially in english, but it's doable if the speaker is willing to try. And I've never yet spoken to someone who isn't willing to try when they need/want to communicate with me!

If you can't stand a valley girl accent than you won't stand them in real life, is that what you're getting at?
