Irish vs. Scottish
 

Dane and his flashy brain bucket hahahah! ( it is the best damn helmet I have seen )have mentioned that there are more Scotts on this 911 BBS that Irishmen..
Is this true?
how many of you are Irish or 1st Generation Irish /American, or Scottish or 1st generation Scottish/American?


I am 1st Gen Irish!

1 Vote for Scotia here. Where's the rest of the clan?

Awe, man. I thought this was going to be a post about Whisky :D

edit:
Im more of a Bourbon drinker so I'll step aside from this one :)

Well not first gen.Irish but I'm wiskey drinking grandson of a McCrory.

Well there we have it....
I'll take that as you being a fellow Irishman Tim.
See Chris . thre ARE more Irish on the forum. hahaha 2 to 1 we out number ya. :)

I wish the damn POLL option would have worked....

I'm gonna have to register under a few names now to even this up;)
Everyone knows a Scotsman is worth at least 2 Irishman anyway :D

HAHAHAHA! thats' Classic Chris.. and to think I use to not mind Scots so much! ahahaha :) hahhaah! ah you and dane are fine.. it's rest or yer lot I don't like. hahahhahaha!

second generation scot... grandfather called isle of islay (sp?) home as a child... then moved to canada to work in the northern mines... with his two brothers whose job it was to keep the black flies and mosquitoes from eating him alive while he slept... i have no right to complain about anything do i

2nd generation Irish, and I have the sunburn to prove it. Guess that makes me half Scottish, eh?

Why does it have to be first generation?? 99% of the Irish in America came over in the 1860s, like all of my ancestors. I am full-blooded Irish-American, but all of my grandparents were born here in approx. 1900 to immigrant parents. :cool:

Ok Dennis.. you're right why split the group.. if you're Irish then you're Irish.! haha
I called myself 1st Gen due to My Parents being born in Ireland.and moving here.. I was the 1st in the family to be born on US soil.
But hell you're right Irish is Irish!!!
Now if we could only out number the damn Scotsmen on this BBS! ahahahahaah!

Thataboy. :cool:

What if you are Scot-Irish?

I, in fact, am 1/2 Scot-Irish. Can I play too?

3rd Gen Scottish, 1st Gen. American (parents from British Columbia)... one of them ferriners.

I am an AMERICAN with Scottish/Irish ancestry. Oh, and an wee bit German. :)

I guess I am quazi-sorta Irish/American. Great-grandparents on both sides were from the "old country" (Cork region). Like a lot of the Irish immigrants, they dropped the "O" prefix from our last name when they became US citizens (or so I'm told).

Same here..Scot/Irish and German mutt.

I'm an American, first and foremost. My mom and dad were 1st generation Irish and Greek, respectively.

IMHO, the "distinction" here in the US between Irish and Scots is overblown. We're Celts, all, and I'd just as soon buy a Scotsman a drink as a Mick.

The Irish guy would buy me one back, however. :D
