Don't talk shit to me about America when you live in Scotland
So I'm sitting here flipping through a website when I come across this comment:

North Americans have a lot to answer for.

Oh yes, TV from Mexico, erm food from the States and 'music' from Canada. What on earth is North America playing at? If you are North American can you explain why you have inflicted these monstrosities on an innocent world?


I noticed the troll was from Scotland, so I returned:

You're a Scot. You have to answer for bagpipes, haggis and golf. No citizen of a nation with such callous disregard for music, cuisine and sport needs to talk bad about the continent that produced Citizen Kane, MASH, Creole cooking, Mexican food, smoked salmon, Molson and Labatt's beer, Chinaco and Herradura tequilas, Maker's Mark whisky, basketball, hockey, the Philly Cheesesteak, chili...

I could have been unkind and cracked a few sheep-fucking jokes, but I refrained and was proud of myself for doing so.

4. Philosophically, you have the right to make our case. But Highlander is gonna fuck you up now.
I hope you've enjoyed having that head. You'll miss it when it's gone.

I've studied history in depth. Trust me, you do not want to mess with the Scottish.
