Most of us are alright, believe it or not! It is not uniquely Scottish to be an asshole over the internet (I refer you to "The Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory - google it) and like somebody else further up said, the whole "Fuck the English" thing is mostly spouted by undeducated halfwits who haven't a clue.

Admittedly, most of us at some point have dealt out some light hearted banter to English friends or family but that is all it usually is - banter. And we can take it back with the same good humour too.

As for the bawbag who was a Nazi fanatic - good riddance if he goes to Germany I say. They tend to crack down on that sort of thing quite heavily I believe?

Anyway, point it there are arseholes everywhere who are going to give you a hard time about your gaming skills or other stuff based on race, gender and religion. Like every other place you find these types in the civilized world though, they tend to be the noisy minority. They also tend to be not worth getting worked up about.

The only thing I would add, is that judging the rest of us based on a few bad eggs - well, that's surely doing the very thing you are complaining about? And then they win - can't have that now, can we? :)
i know that there are bad people from all nations but i just wanted to get to know some nice scottish people because before i posted this thread i didnt know any (online or offline) i dont want to offend anyone with this thread either, i just want to get to know some more kind hearted people who dont curse me for being alive :)

My name is Lewis, I am Scottish as is my family. We are nice people, I myself am a theoretical physicist, my uncle is a biologist who I play dungeons and Dragons with and my Grandad is a charitable accountant, I give to charity, and try to be a nice guy generally. I have lived in England a little now, and before I lived on the outskirts of Glasgow, it is a real shame that some people have been tossers to you and I apologies on Scotland's behalf and hope you meet some nice people in the future :D Oh and to the Nazi, tell him to piss off if he believes in that kind of dictatorship, thank you very much.

racist, religious, not nice and sexist? sure you weren't talking to Americans?
please dont bash other countries on this thread. i know you were only having a bit of fun and im not a fan of amercans either but nobody should be racist on this thread. especially because of the fact that the thread is about racism(amongst other things)

First off iwas not being racist, i was just poking a bit fun based on my own personal experiences. also it's very hard to distinguise actual hatred with just someone just poking fun. the people you were talking to were most likely some far right nutters.

Scottish here, and nice enough, I think, anyway... heh, a positively lovely person compared to the few you've been unfortunate enough to meet anyway. Pity you had to meet the idiots first and get such a bad impression of us as a whole.

I'm Scottish, and generally nice unless you're a complete twat.

As for "racist to every other uk country, sexist, VERY religious and generally not- very nice", well, I'm certainly not religious or sexist, but I do make the odd remark about England or Wales, though it's not intended to be serious or offensive. I've always viewed the relationship between Scotland and England as someting of a friendly rivalry - both sides repeatedly poking fun at eachother, but friendly nonetheless.
i was merely describing the ones ive met in the description. i still question how the nazi can be religious aswell.

what the title says. im having trouble liking scottish people right now. im sure (hoping) that there are some really nice scottish people out there. but all of the scottish people ive met online have been racist to every other uk country, sexist, VERY religious and generally not- very nice people. i have met quite a few scottish people aswell. at least 30. the one i was trying to be friends with most introduced me to loads of his scottish friends. one of them was quite literally a nazi, (quoting hitler sometimes and saying if scottland was ever invaded he would imediatley leave and join germany) another would remark about my gaming skills based on the fact that im english and female, (saying things like get back in the kitchen wich would usually offend me). anyway i would like to get to know some nice decent scottish people so my view on scotland isnt based on a handful of unpleasant people.

I'm quite offended by this, I'm scottish so is virtually everyone I know and we're not a bunch of racist wankers and very few are religious....but what does religion have to do with anything anyway? maybe you just dont get our sense of humour, a lot of us tend to be quite controverisal - that being said there are some horrible scottish people, but there are horrible people everywhere (people are horrible!)

From one of the many nice scottish people (who does not want to be your friend because quite frankly you seem like a judgemental ahole).

im truly sorry that i offended you. understand that im not trying to insult anyway i just want to know some nice scottish people because i know there are a lot of them. i was just unlucky to meet a bunch of horrible people who just happened to be scottish. yes, there are horrible people everywhere but i wanted to know some nice scottish people because i didnt know many anyway. its probably my fault for wording the description badly. i was mereley describing the 30-so scottish people that i knew in the description. the religion part comes in because its that kind of extremist religious person. for example them all hatin me because im not catholic. you are right i possibly dont understand your sense of humour, but like i have offended you, your sense of humour offends me and not meaning to offend you further the jokes that they were making were not joke they were just abuse. its fine that you dont want to be my friend (there are lots who dont) and your right in the fact that i am probably a judgemental ahole. but please keep in mind that i wasnt trying to offend you i was just trying to know you better.

im Scottish and am generally nice to people. yes we like to drink, who the hell doesnt. Then you have the racism thing, its rarer than chickens teethe where I live. Coming from a country that founded the "BNP", really dont think much of that thin argument. Glasgow is a shithole, never ever go their. Go to Edinburgh, lovely place, amazing scenery and people are awesome (im from dundee, so not being biased).


oh, and i hate religion.

I'm Scottish, this will help explain.

Naa but seriously people need to stop generalizing countries because of a few people they meet who turn out to be cunts.

I'm freindly enough, i tend to treat people nicely until they prove that i shouldn't bother.
