French accents are my favorite and I also like the ritzy English accents, but I hate the poor ones.

I like Yiddish/Jewish accents (especially Jackie Mason).

It's impossible for a person not to have an accent. It would be like a region not having a climate.

Tim Tex, I almost did put an option for Yiddish accents but the thing is, I've never actually heard one (outside of comedy), and I'm not to clear on whether or not they still exist.

In general I find softer accents (like French or British or Irish) to be calming and reassuring, sort of like how people like "cool" colors. So if I meet someone with a soft accent I'm apt to spend alot of time around them.
