Thaising Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 (edited) English police. English football has the hooligans who think their tough - Scotland has the tough guys. I used to love seeing the faces of English so called hard men in London when they heard my accent - they were terrified! Don't tell me you look like a bulldog and are ready to bite Edited November 30, 2006 by Thaising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ourmanflint Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I know what you mean! Scots do sound violent, especially from Glasgow to Aberdeen. But thats just because you also have been stereotyped by British TV unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlRedEyes Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Seems from this scientific poll that the north merikans are the least violent ppl. But wait, the poll says fists. North merikans use big guns, not fists don't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casanundra Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 (edited) Interesting - I came to Thailand when I was 25, had some fights and stopped drinking when I was 35. Haven't had a fight since that day. Says a lot really - a LOT to do with alcohol. So was it your 35th birthday yesterday then? Scotland has the tough guys. I used to love seeing the faces of English so called hard men in London when they heard my accent - they were terrified! I guess that's why they call the Londoners the southern sherry drinking softies and you guys the Northen Monkeys then is it. Och man! The chances are they probably couldn't understand a word you was saying in your whisky induced scottish drawl that made them look at you as they did, either that or you forgot to put your undies on again beneath that kilt you was wearing and they got a flash of your scottish ginger bits Edited November 30, 2006 by Casanundra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeathbyDurian Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 On a trip to Sydney this year I saw two bar fights within the first two days. Never seen one in Thailand or the US...ever! I will add that the aussies seem to make peace as quick as they make war. Everyone was drinking together again within 3 minutes of the first punch.

PhilHarries Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 QUOTE(adjan jb @ 2006-11-30 07:48:00) According to a survey, 35 % of British males aged between 25 and 35 years old travel abroad to fight with locals. I guess they hold the world record. Interesting - I came to Thailand when I was 25, had some fights and stopped drinking when I was 35. Haven't had a fight since that day. Says a lot really - a LOT to do with alcohol. I would say it says a lot about you PLUS alchohol. I have drunk alchohol all my adult life and never got into a fight however sometimes I feel I am a different generation to the current crop of 25 - 35 yo's and sometimes from a different planet. It's all about priorities and, where an evening out is concernined, mine are all to do with fun and enjoyement, fighting doesn't even enter into the equation. If I am in a bar and there are some offensive characters in there as well I'll merge into the background, drink my beer and move on. PS Brit, zero fights, aiming to keep it that way.

PeaceBlondie Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 My vote was the 95th, and I added up all of the "None" votes (never been in a fight since becoming adult). 62, roughly 2/3rds of us haven't fought as an adult. And several have posted here that those fights were in very young adulthood, or job-related like a club bouncer. Adults don't use physical violence, one on one. According to FBI uniform crime reports, the average American is the victim of physical violence once every.......every....how many years do you think? Five, ten, at most twenty years? Two hundred years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
