Title: Sterotyping: SOLVED
Post by: Incredirobotwars on October 12, 2010, 03:44:55 PM
I was wondering: 'what stereotypes are there about my culture?'
And then I thought: 'do people actually believe them?'

Therefore, I declare this thread open. First of all, England. People not from this area post a stereotypical view that you have of here, and people from this country (including yours truly) shall address them, stating truth value and so on.

- STICK TO THE COUNTRY! A poll will be asdded to determine what country when it changes.

- NO INSULTING! We are posting stereotypes, not our own views.

-Those answering the stereotypes should be clarifying for the country, not themselves.

- This should be a DISCUSSION, NOT A Q + A. Give longer replies, with reason and thought, NOT YES AND NO.

- ONLY CLARIFY A STEREOTYPE IF FROM THE COUNTRY IN QUESTION. This one is common sense, really.

The bad teeth thing stems back from the tudor times where because of the high amount of sugar consumed it was true

I do love a nice cup of tea, but TBH i have an unhealthy addiction to pepsi diet more than anything els

The last one's true if your english and over 35

Being Scottish, this should be a fair and unbiased judgement. =P

Something I think is a stereotype, is they do tend to talk about the Second World War and 1966 quite a lot. If they're from around then.
 
More stereotypes that I have heard.
 
Young adults tend to get drunk over the weekend and end up on CCTV
They get a Vauxhall Corsa for their first car and install a £6,000 stereo in the boot
They go on holiday and are disgraced when people do not speak English.

That stereotypical 'posh' accent comes from the South. How can we be chavs?
Because there are TWO types of stereotypical English southerner. There is the upper-class posh person, who goes to private school, has a double-barrelled surname, goes hunting every third Sunday of the month and has a butler called Jeeves. Then there is the working-class yob, who goes out drinking at 8 o'clock sharp, wears a baseball cap back to front, has either a single letter or an adjective as their surname, and drives a car that is worth less than its own stereo.

Not really. Just give them a blast of freeze-spray, and apply tweezers to their fangs and catch what pours out...about 1/4 of a ml? But defrost them and let it replenish, then do it again. Simplz ;)

Starbucks also covertly exists as Seattle's Best as well. Starbucks bought them out in '03.

Where I live now only has one "real" Starbucks. The Safeway (supermarket) has one inside, and there are several coffee stands throughout the college campus that either serve Starbucks beans or Seattle's Best. The dining center I work at serves Seattle's Best. (We use Thomas Hammer for the brewed coffee, which is AWFUL!) For the most part, Pullman has a lot of Daily Grinds. There are at least 4 of them here.

In my hometown, there are 3 "real" Starbucks stores (two about a block away from each other), 1 in each of the two Safeway stores, and 1 in the Fred Meyer (department/grocery store), which is right across the street from one of the Safeways.

My general views on America-

A country full of smug, uneducated bullies who got real lucky and like to hide behind their inflated military budget. They come into your countries either as tourists or invaders, thinking that they own the place and that they rightfully deserve everything.
Not only are they less intelligent and (FAR) less healthy than you, but they also have the balls to look down on and patronize you.
Which is why Microsoft, Apple, Intel, AMD, and IBM are all British companies.


..wait. They're not? They're all from USA? Well, sh**. I guess that stereotype must be false.

America, where no plagiarism is too blatant, where ideological theft and taking the credit are just long words, where no-one is too fat or too thin, qhere any excuse will do, where you too can have a spray-on tan, where people can and will try to make horrific film versions of books, where you can strap on 40 pounds of safety gear to play pussy rugby, where this amount of commas in one sentence would be frowned upon, where education teaches nothing, where the most incompetent bastards get all the good stuff, where no politician can skim too much, where half the nation relies on spellchecker to spel, and the other half can't afford one, the easiest target for jokes, where xenophobia gets a pat on the back, an common sense gets a bag full of pills, that, my friends (and Stagfish), is the scariest fate of all...

The World Wide Web, which is what I meant, that's my fault completely, was invented by Tim Berners-Lee, who is British. And "The Internet", meaning the global system of IP Networks, was actually invented at Stanford, not Harvard. So it was a Brit who made websites like this possible.

That's true, Britain did invent that. And the steam engine.
Steam engines have been around for around 2000 years. A Brit did come up with a commercially feasible one, though.

And the telephone. And the lightbulb. And television. And the computer.
That depends on who you believe was the true inventor. All three of these items are hotly debated. I think we can all rest assured knowing that Edison wasn't the true inventor of anything, though.
Title: Re: Sterotyping: SOLVED
Post by: Incredirobotwars on October 16, 2010, 12:57:31 AM
It is true about the steam engine, which was invented in Greece by Hero. And the others should probably be left to be debated by historians. Also, we shouldn't be talking about that sort of thing in this thread. For the next country, could we try to:

- Post one stereotype at a time.
- Wait for a stereotype to be finished with before posting the next one.
- No prejudice - just stereotypes.
Title: Re: Sterotyping: SOLVED

Haggis is the one most people go for. I don't eat it myself, but it's not everyone's favourite thing to eat. I'd go for Irn Bru for a Scottish food/drink thing.

Kilts were an Irish invention, IIRC. And Kilts were actually outlawed during the Jacobite rebellion. Some people wear kilts for formal occasions such as weddings and the like.
Title: Re: Sterotyping: SOLVED
Post by: Scorpion on October 17, 2010, 09:21:09 AM
Yeah I remember that they wear kilts because they're supposed to be a symbol against oppression (probably the jacobite rebelion then according to NFX)

Personally though, I think the scottish guys wear them because they like to think they're girls  :mrgreen:

Structurally they share something. If you cut a long robe at the waist and upper leg, you get a kilt.

Quite possibly. Carlisle seems to be more affected by Scots than Geordies.

I'd actually argue against that, it's kind of the same, there's alot of geordies who come here and also a lot of scots.
