I'm American and dislike American politics. I also dislike the English alliance with america and fear that it will result in another empire that the sun will never set on.

All that most Americans know about Scotland comes from seeing Groundskeeper Willie on The Simpsons.

while, yes scottish information is rather limited, mostly because of its attachment to englad... braveheart was one kickass movie. bagpipes are pretty shweet too. oh, and an empire that the sun never sets on, I cant wait. (maybe we'll call it oceana, rename the UK 'airstrip one', yes, this part is slightly sarcastic, not much though)

Well America, if you don't know much about Scotland your not missing much. We have a lot of hills and very little else. Not even politics. Our "parliamant" is a kiddy-on one that has to ask Westminister (England) before we can do anything. And Braveheart kinda made up just about everything.

Still fun though (Braveheart that is)

Since when are americans good drinkers? I am from canada and when i go down there i have to drink twice as much beer to get drunk, because its just piss water. And when my yankee buddys come and visit me they get shitfaced after like 4 beer, because they can't handle the high alcohal content!

I was born in Inverness. I am just cynical because these days we don't have very much to be proud of.

It was the Scots who were as responsible as anyone for the Enlightenment. The Universities of Glasgow and Edinburgh were far more the repositories of knowledge in the 18th centurty than Oxford or Cambridge (much like small Catholic schools are today over Harvard and Yale, so far as the Humanities go -- Harold Bloom certainly agrees). But to most Americans, rivalries between the irish/Scots/English/Welsh mean little. I have no opinion on the Welsh or Irish, but I love Brits, whether English or Scottish.

I know someone who toured a lot around Europe and who came up with the following.

If you ask a Scotsman, an Irishman and a Welsh man whether he hates the Americans they will probably say no.
Ask them if he hates the French he will probably say no.
Ask them about Scottish/Irish/Welsh probably still no.
Ask them about English they wil say YES!

Ask an Englishman whether he hates the Americans he will probably say YES!
Ask an Englishman whether he hates the French he will probably say YES!
Ask an Englishman whether he hates the Scottish/Welsh/Irish YES! every time.

Very strange.

ok ill tell every1 what the deal is with Northern Ireland. There are 2 extremes (republicans (irish) and loyalists (british) ), these are the ones that shot ppl. They are both as bad as each other and they both believe what they r doin is right. But for years (1960s/70s) the Catholic community was discriminated against, much the same as the african americans in the 1960s. We too had a civil rights campaign but a lot of (innocent) Catholics were killed by the police and the British army (e.g Bloody Sunday!). Anyway the IRA retaliated and killed loads of ppl and police officers and that is how the modern troubles began. The fighting still continues although it is not as bad as it used 2 be. This is probably a slightly biased view but i no ppl that have been killed or whos family members have been killed by loyalists. i reckon we should just get a united ireland but peace is more important in the near future. Its all the english ppl's fault! sorry but omg, stop stealin peoples countries!!!!

I don't think Americans generally make the division between English and Scottish do they? they just think of it as the UK and British (or England and English). And what about Wales and the Welsh?

I wish people in the UK would just start identifying themselves as British! its been 400 years!! Relatively there isn't THAT much of a difference between Scotland and England and England and Wales and Wales and Northern Ireland. To keep separating them up is just counter productive. Sure we should each keep our separate identities and culture and history but WHY does there always have to be this we are better than them thing and we had them and they hate us! British people under the age of about 70 don't know the first thing about REAL hatred between nations! people should start being proud to be British! we're only a small island lets not start fighting over it and splitting it into two or three or four or even more!

I for one would be very sad if ANY of the countries left the union, I may only have heritage from Wales and England but I see Scotland and Northern Ireland as part of my country also and if they would to split away I would feel the country I was born in and grew up and have come to love had been destroyed! SO PLEASE STOP WITH ALL THE HATRED MAN (lol)
