That's is so correct. We're all lumped together. In facts our states are like different European countries. If you meet someone from.Texas and you're from New York or someone from Idaho and another from Arizona or Minnesota we will be as different as someone from.another country.. In other words, visiting people from different states could be like meeting people from different European countries. Similar to differences and nuances if I met a person from England and another France. Additionally, our health services may not be ideal but neither are at least some European countries. One country in particular where they have free or low cost medical services, I've heard scary stories about people waiting weeks if not months for certain medical treatment even for some that are for something serious. I believe I recall situations where people died waiting for necessary operations but needed to wait their turn. By the way, I agree about the guns.

They are largely correct. A lot of conservative Americans don't want to hear this, but the gun lobby is too powerful, and innocent people are dying as a result.

I recently found out I'm 25% Scottish. Thanks to my ancestry DNA test. So this was really enjoyable for me, as an American to watch. I agree with pretty much everything they've said. They were very respectful and kind about how they spoke about us with a lot of truth in there. It is funny that a lot of people that came to America were the daredevils. The ones that were risking everything to come here and start a new life and those are our ancestors. I agree that our country is very loud. 😅 Growing up in Florida and going to amusement parks for my field trips as a kid in school . This great weather and being able to see a lot of my large beautiful country. Makes me feel very lucky to live here. I only recently went to an NFL football game and the energy in the stadium was my most favorite part. The host of these videos is doing a great job representing us. This video makes me want to visit Scotland one day. I am a little more reserved and quiet so it would be nice to see a country of people a little less loud. 😅

Makes me want to visit Scotland even more. Actress Karen Gillan is a treasure. 😊

2:00 LA "all the way down to" San Deigo... You know what they say: to an American 100 years is a log time, and to a Brit/Scot/etc 100 miles is a long way. 121 miles by car from LA proper to San Diego. It's about half that from the LA metro area to the San Diego metro area. There are people who commute this distance daily. (Not me. Mine is three miles, but this is in Arizona and California. A coworker of mine commutes 60 miles each way though.)

Just to first point out - I think you’re maybe confusing Scotland and England. Scotland and England are different countries with different histories, cultures, (somewhat) languages, parliaments, education and legal systems. Scotland and England are not the same thing in terms of “demeanour” or culture and if you make that mistake people will not be happy with you. Scotland and England are both in the “UK”. There’s an important distinction that you’d do well to remember. I’m glad you have ancestry but just a bit of a warning - people in Scotland (and the UK but definitely 100% in Scotland) hate when Americans come over and talk about ancestry and stuff and say it makes them Scottish or they have “Scottish traits”. The thing is, Scotland and Scottish people have mostly moved beyond the idea of ethnic citizenship and ethnic nationalism. In Scotland you would not be considered “Scottish” in ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM. You’d be seen as an American that perhaps had some distant ancestors from here but that’s it. To us, Scotland is a country and Scottish people are the people who live and make a life for themselves here. That can be a refugee from Syria, Polish immigrants, English people, Chinese families, Indian/Pakistani families and all of that. If they choose to live and make a life for themselves here, they’re Scottish too, as ethnicity means nothing. In fact, I come from a long line of Scottish highland family and some of my Pakistani friends are more Scottish than I am. Scotland and Scottishness are now rather an idea and a place and the people who live here instead of an ethnicity or biology or ancestry. I hope you do come visit one day, but I thought I’d point that out.

What do Scottish people think about Americans pronouncing Scotland as Scatland, particularly as scat means faeces?

Most people around the world, and most European say that the Americans are the most outgoing and friendly people anywhere. That’s very very true and especially people in the south south east, and in central America like it in the Midwest.. we are usually :-) and love to laugh and hug one another a lot even if we don’t hug strangers, but very welcoming to strangers. Conservatives or moderates are very very patriotic and the liberals are more loud and obnoxious but I would say most of those of the younger people but I’ve even seen some people in their 40s and early 50s who are pretty loud and obtrusive. That’s pretty surprising because back in the 1960s and 1970s you would’ve never seen a 40 or 50 year old progressive at all because back then people were so peace and love that they were hippies and they were so antiwar etc. etc.. Americans are feisty, and we don’t take any crap at the same time. Many of us are so hesitant to get into war, which is why we didn’t get into World War I or World War II until we absolutely had to. The media is extremely biased and a lot of it propaganda but a lot of Europeans came to America before COVID-19 for years and they said one thing about Americans they noticed is that Americans work all the time and work too much which is true because Americans usually live to work and I think it’s something that’s been in bread but after COVID-19 a lot of people just got lazy and they wanted to work from home or not work at all and then there are together who are just your every day typical go-getters, and get up and go to work and that’s just their life .

Because there's so many people. There's a lot going on. Two heads are better than one. And if all the heads go to America? Now suddenly it's a society that catapults past the rest. That's all it is. Then give them unlimited resources? It's not a mystery why America is America.

True. Obama has ruined American healthcare in sooo many ways. But thats true of everything his evil hand touched.

I think "THIS IS SPARTAAAA!!!!" 👿😂

Funny, no one has ever asked me what I thought of Scotland.

To the Scottish folk watching this, Florida, New York and California are all completely different than the rest of the country. The south is known for their hospitality to guests, the Midwest for their kindness and willingness to converse with strangers, the east for their busy attitude but also their large cities and money, the west is known for wide open spaces, beautiful mountains and coastline and lots of places to explore. I've lived and traveled all over the US and am visiting Scottland for the first time. The people really aren't so different from Americans and are kind and patient. Scotland has old history all over and give the people a lot to be proud of. America is a newer place and their pride comes from the countries that made it what it is today. America in many ways is a combination of every other countries culture.

so uhhh, it's a no no talking about Macbeth?

I have beed in America my whole life...born here..female.. after about the last 20 years America has gone to hell...To many criminals, including government, men dont respect women anylonger, women dont act like ladies anylonger...Cities are full of homeless drug addicts and people going to the bathroom where ever they please, quality of food is terrible..Trying to produce to much to fast, young people dont want to work and expect as much stuff as they can get for free, and no one respects mother nature or the land anymore...Anyone who visits here from other countries should stay away from the big popular cities. .NYC, Hollyweird, San Francisco, Chicago, Miami, etc...Go to see the real America, like the National forests, and smaller towns and take a drive through the farmland to little towns with history, where the good true and loving Americans live...Otherwise be careful of crime and fraud. Go to a small town festivals, or County fair, a Rodeo a parade...fishing and golf touniment...visit some Natural beauties like Niagra Falls or the Grand Canyon or Crater Lake, kayak down beautiful rivers, rent a car and drive up or down the West Coast along the Ocean...get out and experience the tidepools ..you will meet much better people.. And prob eat much better foods...

We have laws that mandate a certain amount of minimum wage (we don’t have tip culture at all and tips when they happen are actually ON TOP of minimum wage) and we also have mandated holiday/vacation time from work every year. Depending on where you work and how long you’ve worked there, your annual time off can be around a month.

Freedom !!! (1st thing)...and all the blood that was shed in all the wars, and all the sacrifices that PAID for that.... !!! ... and will be shed in the future. Sobering.

America is at least 6 countries, The northeast, The old south, Texas and the desert states, The middle plains, The upper plains/lakes, and the Pacific north west

After watching a bunch of these types of videos it looks like I finally found one where ppl didn't just immediately talk shit about America and didn't give lazy answers. Also I got the chance to visit Edinburgh in 2018 and walked up Arthur's Seat listening to bagpipe music .... it was EPIC!

America is a very very diverse country in the land, and the people are here are very diverse because we are a melting pot and we’ve always been a nation of immigrants even though the earliest immigrants were of course British, which were the English, Scottish and the Dutch and Germans and the French started coming later on and then towards the later 1800s in turn of the 20th century in 1900s and we had a big Irish boom in America because of the Irish potato famine.

I love essentially everything they have to say about us, aside from what they have to say about guns. It’s so obvious how poorly their media ( and ours ) portrays how horrible guns are. More than half of gun deaths per year in the US are caused by suicide. A horrible thing obviously, but preventing access to a gun as opposed to a rope, or bridge for that matter won’t change those statistics. They constantly hint to how many school shootings we have when in reality school shootings account for 637 fire arm related deaths since 1970… I feel as though they forget to recognize the fact that we have over 300 million people in this country. About 90% of school shootings between 1994 and 2016 involved only 1 victim ( I’m assuming gang related shootings ) as opposed to 10% of multiple victim incidents between 1996 and 2016. Statistically mass school shootings aren’t really something to be worried about in a country this large.

Hey, all of those statistics are egregious in every possible way. Only 637 children killed at school? Wow. The reason that you think these suicides and child murders are ok is because of our grotesque gun culture.

@@kmasse81 more than 2x the amount people die in a day from heart attacks alone in the us than kids have been killed in school over a 50 year span. The facts don’t lie. School shootings aren’t an issue we should be focusing so heavily on. What about obesity? What about all the other things that kill kids in way higher numbers?

There is a very strong correlation between the presence of a gun in a home and successful suicide. Guns make it a lot easier to follow through on a momentary bad idea or bad impulse. Gun violence correlates strongly with numbers and easy access to weapons.
