Scots are an unhealthy race

[acooke]

Having worked as an Englishman in Edinburgh, I have found that most Scots consider chips and deep-fried pizza the ultimate in culinary delight, scream abuse at their children, and only seem truly content when unconscious from drink.

They belong to a nation defined by a common hate for the English, and they reassure themselves with tartans, bagpipes and a rewritten history where they did nothing but dance amongst the flowers, sing tedious music, and drink whisky.

No wonder we stereotype them on "The Bill" and "Taggart".

Andrew, are you trying to spark a flood of messages screaming abuse at you for your own personal amusement by posting the same bigoted messages in every forum topic? Do you frequent any English cultural websites? Is this your first visit to Scotland.com? Answers on a postcard everyone.

Please see the "History" Section for more of the same stimulating stuff.

The Scots are some of the healthiest people alive, second you are misinformed as far as the history is concerned where the English is concerned they might as well been Hitler to the Scots, then when the Scots took a stand you will also try to remember we kicked the Englishs' a#$.
But someone with your intellect would not know that. Right?

Andrew,

I don't know what sort of job you did in Edinburgh. But I know jobs can suck. But you really shouldn't try to let all your stress and frustration out here, insulting about 5 million people and their friends and relatives around the world.

You should remember that Fish and Chips was an English invention and I do not know if that's much better than pizza. And by the way, I know the sort of people you describe (though really exaggerated, I think) from hospital and social work in Germany. Drunkards and fast-food-junks can be found in every place around the world, even in neat London town. So do not make a picture of the Scots just from a few bad examples. Alcohol abuse and nutritional disasters are worldwide problems and we all are aware of it I think.

And the Scots do have more to offer than songs and whisky. Even your "Bank of England" was founded by a Scot, William Paterson of Dumfries. Not to speak of English industrialization. Where would have been without the steam engine of James Watt from Greenock. And if you are too frustrated to bear in any longer, just take a breechloading rifle and make an end. But remember it was invented by a member of Clan Ferguson. ;0)

So you better calm down and have a dram of good Scottish whisky and think once more of what you said. You should not blame the Scots of harbouring in their hearts a hate for the English (which is not generally true) and kindle the same hate by what you post here.
