EVE General Discussion

Just curious but, like most Irish Americans, does that mean you were born/raised in the US?

Hey! I'm english! I'm a self entiled c word! (although I wouldn't say I wasn't skilled....and wheres my perfect english :P)

We owned most of the world you know!

And they are right about the scottish too :P

People need to lighten up, getting upset about things like this means you have no sense of humour?

Your not even on the list down there that's how unimportant you are to the rest of the world .... jk OF COURSE

Well some people got butt hurt by it... (Poor OP)



Also yeah, English. Wheres our 'good English', at the very least? !

High Tier ^_^

This! We had one Scottish pilot in the corp once, no chance on TS, had to switch back to corp chat. It sounds awesome and i liked it, but during fights it was confusing like hell. Also he was our gentlemen adventurer who shot first and then escorted your pod back to safety and recruited you for the corp if you took the loss with a smile.. we miss him.

Woot! A tier all for me!

That's good right?

And all kinds of qualities that seem most respected and admired in EvE! I'll be a big-shot here in no time!

If it ain't Dutch, it ain't much!

I have never been to America, really only leave Denmark to go to Germany now and then to shop, just seems to me that there is nothing wrong with Americans taking pride in their ancestors heritage.

To quote Stephen Fry:

It's now very common to hear people say "I'm rather offended by that." As if that gives them certain rights; it's actually nothing more... it's simply a whine. It's no more than a whine. "I find that offensive," it has no meaning, it has no purpose, it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. "I am offended by that," well so ******* what?

I lol'd a lot. It is pretty damn accurate.

We spaniards are all dicks for sure, and most of us "no hablo inglés" except for a few ones who need it in RL jobs, like me.

I don't understand why people complain about stereotypes. It is true sometimes they are disgusting or just plain stupid, but the culture, the way of life and the character of a country is more or less defined by its people, its history, weather and even food, according to some researchs.

So there are general trends you can expect from each country, or side of the world.

I have travelled abroad around europe and also to several asian countries, and while most people is just polite and kind, after making a few friends from other countries you can see that the general trend is more or less always the same.

For example, South europeans are louder when talking, most of the time we are rude when talking (I meet most of my friends calling them SoB or something worse XD) are more prone to physical contact (kisses, hugs) and have a time table which revolves around the morning and the evening, because in most places in the afternoon is so hot outside, you are better at home taking a nap, and going out later, which you can do because you have more daylight hours than in the northern euro countries.

Japanese on the other side, are quiet, very polite (even with their worst enemies) and will refuse any kind of physical contact (as I discovered when I tried to give the usual meet kisses to the first girl I met there)

You can find people which don't fit to those stereotypes in both countries, but more or less, you will find the vast majority of people will.
