Scotland is the Most Violent Place in the Developed World - UN

[Ja'chyra]

I see that Scotland is the Most Violent Place in the Developed World according to the U. N.
So how are the women there?

It was them they were talking about .

When I moved to England 3 years ago I was looking to buy a house, I was warned by several people in work to avoid the council estates as they were very rough. When my wife moved down a couple of months later we done some investigating and the rough estates could have passed for some of the nice private estates where I come from.

But, the most violent place in the developed world, not sure about that, there's not that much gun crime that I remember but you can always expect to see a couple of scuffles on a night out. Saying that, Scotland is my home and I love it, it just helps you to grow up, my neighbours child still crys when his mum shouts at him and he's 12ish years old.

If only Scotland could sort out the unemployment and drugs the place would be almost perfect, almost because of the weather .

You see, this is the difference between the US and the rest of the world. So here, Scotland is tapped as most violent place in developed world, people jump in and make Scot jokes, and the Scots are all just like, "yeah, well".

Racism's not that big an issue in Scotland, unless you're English just ask John Barnes he said he was racially abused numerous times when he was with Celtic but no-one ever mentioned the fact he was black. In Scotland we refer to Chinese people as Chinkies or Chinks, but we don't see that as racist, it's just a term and it's not meant as an insult, no Chinese that have lived in Scotland for any amount of time would be insulted by it.

Yes, we often seem to use what are classes as derogatory terms for people, but don't mean anything by it, although actual racism is on the rise. I heard someone at my school stole all the shoes from the Dundee Mosque a few weeks back

That was kind of suprising considering how I'm constantly told that I live in the most violent, crime-infested country to ever exist. Do you think that this study is accurate?

oops, I didn't see the similar thread. Could a mod combine my thread with the other one pertaining to the subject matter? Thanks...

they need the fisticuffs to work off all those chip suppers, cakes, haggis etc.

Is that some Medieval "ranged mastery" influence.
