I'm in chat right now. Somehow a conversion got started about Zlipper being Scottish. I have no problem with that. And I thought nobody else would either. But somebody named Choppie asked Zlipper if he wore a kilt. Zlipper said yes. Choppie turned around and called Zlipper a crossdresser. Zlippers feelings were hurt. My feelings were hurt to because I am Scottish. And I would think anybody else how is Scottish would be offened... girl or boy. Also Zlipper said he played the bag pipe. And Choppie said they only play at funerals because the dead play couldn't hear it. Zlipper was hurt again. And Doosh came in a little later and took Choppies side offending both Zlipper and I. All we want is everybody to have equal rights. Why should we be judged by what we are? Why can't we be judged by who we are?

Welcome to the world of ignorance.
Nothing can be done...just grin and bear it.

Ignorance is the worst thing you can do. Zlipper... don't be hurt by the outside people. As long as you take pride in who you are. Taking pride is the best thing you can do.

Good grief! There has to be something in this world that bothers you more than people making fun of scottish people for their bagpipes and kilts. What is the point of living in the melting pot if you can't have a little innocent teasing between people of different backgrounds. Lighten up.
I think I heard Colin Quinn comment on this paradox the other night. Something about accepting diversity as long as you don't point out how people are different.

people will bag on things in attempts to compensate for their own insecurities or personal issues they do not feel comfortable dealing with.

You're all ignorant. You won't accept people. I'd love to make fun of you people. But it just won't feel right so I won't.

I agree with espi on this. Alot of it has to go with their insecurities. I believe some people are scared of ideas and cultures they are not familiar with.

People judge. It's life.
I've been judged based on things such as how much money I have, how I dress, who my friends are. We all are. *shrug* It sucks, but you just have to deal, because ignorant will always be around.
I just do my thing; let everyone else do their things.

I would like to make it clear that I have no dislike, let alone hate, of those of Scottish descent, though I was involved in a freak bagpipe incident as a small child that has left me wary of those who pipe.
I tried to point this out to Zlipper by stating that Sean Connery was the best Bond, he in turn told me that Sean was actually French (who would of thought it?) and Now I am resigned to hating Mr. Connery, because as an american climber it is important to hate all that is French.
In closing I would like to remind those who choose to quote chat room conversations, perhaps you should pay a little more attention
to what is really being said and the tone in which it is spoken or written, before running out and declaring the sky is falling.
Peace

I really think people should just stop being so sensitive. If something is said without malice, then let it go! it is not meant to hurt you! I mean, I am (half) scottish, and I would not be offended by that in the least! In fact, I am planning on wearing a kilt to my brothers wedding, and I have played the bagpipes, but that doesn't mean I am going to get offended by joking about it! I also have a friend that lives in scotland (met him counseling at a camp) we used to make fun of each other all the time, good stuff, everyone asked him whether he had electricity in scotland, and whether people wore shoes on their heads and hamburgers ate people. As long as something is good natured, I say go at it, have fun, and take your shots at good old canada, we can take it (and dish it back out) .

Ignorant is such an overused term, but it has almost no practical application.

Oh, okay, yeah that's because of what happened with Iraq. France was selling arms to Iraq to make money, even though they're supposed to be American allies.

Well, I know there are a lot of people who would agree with you there. From my own background, I agree with it, simply because it must have been awful to live under Hussein. I've noticed, and it's just my observatiion, of course, but nations that do nothing when others are suffering such terrible turmoil end up getting involved anyway for another reason. One way or another, it seems if we ignore the problem, we end up paying a price later that will eventually enlist our help. (IMHO.)

Well maybe no reason isn't accurate. It seems like there were several reasons, and the administration would switch back and forth depending on which one seems most genuine at the time. Links to Al Quida: No evidence, WMD's: No evidence. Finally, people are oppressed: Bingo! If Bush's heart ached when he thought of the suffering of the Iraqi people, then I am wrong about him. But I don't trust him at all, he is lying.
BTW, his press secretary is the best liar I have ever seen, quite impressive.
