Boycott Whiney America!

7:16 am PST, Nov 9, Ashton Ball, Texas
I completely understand the anti-American sentiments. The issue here is that we're a country largely made up of idiots. I was born in America, lived here all my life, but always thought the general population to be dimwitted and ignorant. I have been overseas a few times, mostly to Western Europe (though I hope to travel more in the years to come) to see some relatives and take in the sights, all along knowing that based on nationality alone, I was unwelcome. Your countries are beautiful, and traditions, lovely, but I feel people must take a different approach to viewing Americans. Yes, damn most, but not all. There are plenty like me who completely understand your sentiments, but we're the silent type, it's the rash hick idiots that speak more than they should, so that's all you hear. Please, don't box America, we're a majorly idealistic and foolish country. There are many, including myself, who think that we are far from perfect and need many things remodeled, starting with our attitudes towards other countries. We have wronged you all, I understand that, our attitude globally is abysmal. Still, realize that those who judge Americans (and really, judge any group of individuals), are being narrow-minded. You can't know us all. Take pity on those of us stranded in a country of idiots. I'd never leave it, I was born here and I'll die here, perhaps out of nostalgia and perhaps out of sheer stubbornness. I just implore those who have issues with America to take into consideration Americans like me.

We Brits should never have given them Yanks their independence. They are obviousy too stupid to run their own country. Maybe we Brits should take it back from them.

#91 I think a bull may have kicked your pea-brain in to your stetson. Which "two wars" between the Scottish and the English would you be referring to? As for the world wars, your report card would say "Time keeping - Could do better" and, as #94 points out, America only got formally involved in the second world war to meet their own goals after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbour. I'll close by saying that many of us Brits CAN speak German (as well French, etc.). We are not an insular country, like the USA. Maybe we should invade the US to force them to speak English! Please note, there is NO SUCH LANGUAGE as "US English". Uuuuuuuuuuuuu - here are some spare letters for you - use them wisely!

#91 I love it when Americans bring up the we saved you from the Germans statement. Would you mind answering the following simple question? Q1. When and why did America join WW2? I'll answer it for you. You joined in late 1941, over two years into the war, because you were attacked by the Japanese at Pearl Harbour. You didn't join to save us Brits or to stop a madman who was slaughtering millions, you joined to satisfy the American peoples constant need for revenge. Despite this shameful fact it is the standard American response in an argument with the British, you're an amusing bunch.

Why is it all the yanks are saying that they were going to go on holiday to Scotland but have not cancelled the trip. Only 1 in 5 of the pricks have a passport!

I don't hate americans, just the stupid ones who are blaming scotland and the rest of the UK for releasing a man who is about to die, the only man convicted for some reason, even though the so called best force (FBI) were assisting the scots. does anyone actually believe that 1 man could of got that bomb on the plane? without actually being on the flight?

WOW...such hostility toward the U.S....good thing I consider myself a Texan first. I visited Scotland just over a year ago to see the Country of my ancestors and loved it and have been planning a return next year. But now, I'm having second thoughts. Don't forget that the U.S. has millions of people whose families originated in Scotland. And that many Scots fought against the English in two wars. We "whiney" Americans have kept you British from having to learn German twice, so get over it and let's agree to disagree over the differences in our laws.(most of our antiquated laws originated in the U.K. anyway).

#87 Rosemary- you cant take this thread too literally- it is just a satircal response to some American figures who want to punish Scotland for allowing the lockerbie bomber (whom i believe to be innocent anyway)compassionate leave. We also don't think its fair for people like your FBI boss to slam our justice system when, no offence, the maerican justice system is medieval (and ineffective). THerefore this petition is just taking the piss out of it. Your welcome...

We dont want those whinging, hypocritical, six-fingered, web-footed incestuous retards in the UK and we shouldnt give credence to that state of inbred, bible thumping, knowledge evading, nob-jockeys known as the USA...Useless Sanctimonious Arsewipes...by visiting their country either. Lets keep them out of the UK.

Wow, I don't even know what to say. Is this true of the majority of Scots? Is there really that much hatred for the "American" people as a whole? I have always been proud of my "Scottish" roots and equally as proud of my "American" roots. We as a family have planned for years (while our children were growing up) to take a trip to Scotland to learn more of our ancestors. Our entire family of 3 generations have so looked forward to this trip. But after reading this blog, I am not so sure that we will be welcomed in a country that harbors so much hate for "Americans". How sad, I just never realized the hatred that exists.

Thanks for feck all, your portrayal of Scotland is embarrassing to say the least with your 'my great grandfather was a mcdonald' p!sh, and your right-wing KKK folk have tried to adopt our bagpipes with their poison so send them back please minus the pillow cases. Also, Diageo's shutting anyway so you can ram your Whiskey boycott.

Talking keech, doesn't make you RIGHT, bullying doesn't make you RIGHT, being ignorant doesn't make you RIGHT, being insular doesn't make you RIGHT, thinking geography is something to do with rocks doesn't make you RIGHT, thinking you are the centre (note the correct spelling!) of the universe doesn't make you RIGHT - what it does make you is a feckin useless AMERICAN twunt.

I've never been to the US, so I guess I've been boycotting them my whole life. I'll continue to do so. Thumbs up Scotland, thumbs down USA. Build a bridge, get over it, and GTF.

I hate the Americans and everything they stand for!! They walk around thinking theyre the big fish in the pond, little do they know practically every country in the world hates them in some way! If they want to boycott Scotland then let them, we can have our troops home then please seeing as they are over in Iraq and Afghanistan helping the Americans cos they cant fight a war by themselves!!!

Does this mean all the american tourists we've been getting over here claiming they're "Scottish" since braveheart came out are going to go back to being "Irish"?

Only 15% of Americans have passports. 270 Million have never even been abroad. Their ignorance is astonishing. Get over it. A dying "patsy" has been been released to die, it's called compassion. You don't even know that your navy shot down 290 innocent Iranians one year before Lockerbie. Why aren't you and your Government not bringing that to the fore? Wonder why that could be.......?

Must have come as a huge surprise to you in the US to find out that Scotland had a Government. Must have been an even bigger shock to find that it wouldn't slavishly follow US policy or wishes. Well done to the Scottish Justice Minister - you took the correct decision. Proud to be a Scot.

The time is right to distance ourselves from the United States, Britain is one of very few countries that stand with them when they need help, but they dont return the favours, they dont practice what they preach, they are just bullies. Many of the worlds problems at the moment are of American doing. I whole heartedly agree with a boycott of America

I remember the YANKS bombing Libya with a couple of F111 ardvaark bombers, they specifically targeted the Colonel's palaces to try and nail him in one of his residences! Dont see any aircrew in jail!!! And let me see.....what did the Native American peoples used to call America??? OURS!!!!

To the minority of idiots in America, words fail. You proudly destroy a civilian airline, killing 66 children and more. You reward those responsible with medals. Your leaders are arrogant and blinded by their own sense of importance: G.Bush "I will never apologise for America. I don't care what the facts are." An atrocity occurs in Scotland, and a man is convicted on circumstancial evidence. He has 2 months to live, and we allow him to go home to die. The shameful welcome he recieved reflects the immaturity and petty nature of the Libyian people, not the Scots. Kenny MacAskill has made a very difficult choice with extreme dignity and composure, and made many Scots very proud. If indeed this man is guilty of said atrocity, then we as Christians should follow the teachings of our faith, and not lower ourselves to the level of terrorists. How do the people who consider American lives more important than that of Libyian, or of any other nation, expect their arrogance and constant demand for vengance shall be judged by God, the one true authority on Earth?

They can have a nice feckin day on their own side of the pond, for all I care. I won't be buying any more KFC or McDonalds... Oh wait, I don't eat in those places anyway - their food is rank and I don't want to end up like an obese American. #50 American porn is crap - get some German porn instead - much better!
