Do you like the Scottish people?

Do you like the Scottish people?

[Felix the Cat]

Why this sudden interest in Scotland Ix?

[Jonathan]

The Scottish (like most nations) are diverse enough to make this question useless i.e. Some Scots are O.K., others are not.

[Ixtab]

Some Scots are O.K., others are not.I agree.

And please don't use the Latinate abbreviation "i.e." when you can just as easily use the English expression "that is".

[Felix the Cat]

And why would anyone "hate" the Scots?

Are you including Ulster Scots in the category "Scottish people"?

[Ixtab]

And why would anyone "hate" the Scots?I don't know. I have not met anyone who does.

[Geist]

I like the Scots, very similar to the Irish in many ways. As with all countries, some good people, some bad.

[Geist]

I must add I met the cutest Scottish girl ever not to long ago as well and the stories she told me of Scotland were amusing. Seemed like a fun place so just to add that.

[Ixtab]

I like the Scots, very similar to the Irish in many ways. What similarities do you most like?

[Geist]

What similarities do you most like?

Generally easy going, fun people who enjoy getting intoxicated etc. Very similar lifestyles I guess.

As far as serious national characteristics which is probably what you are looking for I cannot really say.

[Jonathan]

And please don't use the Latinate abbreviation "i.e." when you can just as easily use the English expression "that is".
Why not (if you don't mind me asking) ? Seems like a strange thing to get hung up on...

[Atlas]

So far, the fews scots I met were nice to me, so yes I do like them.

[Starr]

My grandfather's parents were from Scotland so I suppose so. lol. And yes, ix your sudden fixation with Scotland is, well, different.:p

[Anima Eternae]

Having a significant amount of Scottish in me (25%-50%), I will have to say Scots rule.

[Hakluyt]

Yes, they are truly Kings among Men.

[Berianidze]

I have never met a Scottish person, so I can not say; however, based on the fact they seem like decent enough people so I'll say I like them.

[Billy Score]

billy Connolly is from Scotland (although his parents moved there), so this says everything. Also: Mel Gibson beat the hell out of the english in the name of Scotland. Scots are pretty cool.

[dave777]

I like the Scots

:rofl: word nigga.

[Edward I]

Scots and Scottish are not synonymous. the Scottish are the dregs of the English people, with a bit of Irish. And the Irish are the dregs of the White Race, as you know. So no, I don't like the Scottish people. I don't hate them but that is the option that I chose. I just regard them with disdain and contempt.

[Johnson]

Largely indifferent, though they do tend to exhibit the most negative stereotypes, such as being drunk, being violent, and being very obnoxious tourists. Like the English, but less intelligible.

[Jonathan]

the Irish are the dregs of the White Race, as you know.
Oh, go on Ted, how many times will you post this and get refuted?

[Daniel Shays]

They have good women, although the men are brawlers armed with an array of strange weaponry that they call funny names "chib" being one of them.

[Arminius]

I've nothing agianst these people. Why would I?

[Mackie]

I generally like them, seem to be nice folks and there a whole lot of interesting history :>

[Kid B]

I hate EVERYONE!
Why should I not hate Scots and their fucking dresses and bagpipe noise too?
PEOPLE=SHIT.

[///M power]

I like Scottish whiskey. dont know personally any Scottish man.
why are they looking gay and wearing skirts?
they still wear skirts dont they? even when they know that only females wear skirts.

[Mike]

Wait'll I tell "Rob Roy MacGregor" about this!

[Boleslaw]

Yes I like the Scottish people. One of my favorite folk bands comes from there. Plus Ive always had an admiration for thr highlander warrior.

[Lenny]

Yes I like the Scottish people.You support hereticks? :confused:

:slap:

[Boleslaw]

Tha Jacobites were largely a Catholic-based movement, Lenny. Rob Roy was himself a Catholic.

Who would they be?

The Easy Club were very good in their day. These people (http://vassfamily.tripod.com/) sound interesting (sample (http://vassfamily.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/thediamond.mp3) and another (http://vassfamily.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/viking.mp3)), but it's frustratingly hard to get info about them (they don't seem to respond to email).

[Boleslaw]

Who would they be?

Old Blind Dogs (http://www.oldblinddogs.co.uk/).

"Old Blind Dogs bring freshness and color to acoustic music steeped in centuries of Scottish folklore and history."
- Los Angeles Times

Too bad their lead singer, Jim Malcolm, quit recently. :(

[Lenny]

Tha Jacobites were largely a Catholic-based movement. Lenny. Rob Roy was Catholic himself I believe.Now Perun's trying to claim that Scotland is a Catholic nation? :confused: :rofl: Keep dreaming idiot! One small group of rabble-rousing traitors and rebels do not make an entire nation Catholic, any more than the presence of some muslims in english inner citys makes England a muslim nation :cool:

Catholicism is an alien hostile religion to Scotland, see here:

Fans at Soccer game in Scotland Jeer Pope (http://www.thephora.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2729) http://www.thephora.net/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif

Plans by the Church of Rome to destroy and 'Catholicize' Protestant Scotland:
Scotland has to Catholicized, not 'Christianized' (http://www.thephora.net/forum/showthread.php?t=7848)

[Boleslaw]

Now Perun's trying to claim that Scotland is a Catholic nation? :confused: :rofl: Keep dreaming idiot!

I never claimed Scotland was Catholic you idiot. Im well aware that Scots are by and large Presbyterians. :rolleyes:

However, that doesnt mean that I as a Catholic cannot admire the Scottish nation, and pointed to the Jacobites and Rob Roy as proof. And since the Jacobite cause and Rob Roy both figure heavily in the Scottish identity; it only further proves my point.

Traitors? By seeking to restore the rightful dynasty back to the throne? King James II by any and all accounts was the rightful king of England, not William of Orange(how cute, you Protestants had to invite a foreign ruler!!!!).

[Sandee]

Yes, they can wear kilts and still look manly. :)

Seriously though, I've heard a lot of good stuff about Scottish people, especially from my friend, Amanda. She visited Scotland a while back.

I haven't met any personally but I voted "I like" because of what I've heard.

[BoloMK30]

The majority of my ancestry is Scottish.

The Scottish stereotype I like best is that of "engineer"; during the
Great Age of Steam, it was normal for just about any steamship to
have a Scotsman running the Engine Room. The tradition carried right
up to the twenty-third century with LtCdr Montgomery Scott as
Chief Engineer aboard USS Enterprise (NCC-1701).

[Lenny]

Traitors? By seeking to restore the rightful dynasty back to the throne? King James II by any and all accounts was the rightful king of England, not William of Orange(how cute, you Protestants had to invite a foreign ruler!!!!)."King" James II was not the rightful ruler. He was a Roman Catholic, ipso facto he was an Enemy of britain. He would've forcibly re-Catholicized Britain, packed the government and military with Catholics, and brought Britain under the iron heel of Rome.

a foreign rulerBetter a foreign Protestant than a native Catholic. Similarily, better foreign fruit than domestically-produced rat poison. Am I right folks?

Hail William of Orange! http://www.thephora.net/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif

[Basil Fawlty]

Why not (if you don't mind me asking) ? Seems like a strange thing to get hung up on...He's just trying to annoy you, i.e., trolling.

[Basil Fawlty]

"King" James II was not the rightful ruler. He was a Roman Catholic, ipso facto he was an Enemy of britain. He would've forcibly re-Catholicized Britain, packed the government and military with Catholics, and brought Britain under the iron heel of Rome.His Most Catholic Majesty, James II, was the last rightful ruler of Britain, since falling victim to a City of London-Amsterdam organised coup d'etat, that led to the installation of a heretic usurper.

[il ragno]

Can't wait until Ix gets around to "Lapps: Yea or Nay?", or his referendum on the people of Liechtenstein.

[Ahmadinebobina]

Basically, I suppose I do.
I've met good Scots and bad Scots. Unfortunately when I talk to them I tend to picture them as Irvine Welsh characters.

[Dr. Gutberlet]

I like the Scots.

[Boleslaw]

"King" James II was not the rightful ruler.
As Basil himself confirmed, yes he was. He was the rightful heir to King Charles II, being his brother and Charles had no legitimate sons.

[Felix the Cat]

James was a stubborn fool, like his father.

[brigadier Biggles]

younger generation - mostly no
older generation - mostly yes

in my experience.
