Dumb Questions

[hazy]

My daughter has just returned from Boston in amoungst the good ol boys and she was asked some of the dumbest questions . Here are just some examples. Do you have high rise buildings, Do you have a fire brigade do all the kids wear kilts to school, do you have any uni,s. After pointing out to these pig ignorant retards that Scotland and the rest of the UK is not London they could not actually cohmprhend how small the UK and Scotland was and how so much inovation has come from such a wee country . They honstly thought the good old boys have designed every thing in the world. The dumbest one I personally heard was on a quiz show . Question was " out side of Amerca where else is the first language English". Bob the contestant replied " Italy".

years ago my papa had to go to America with STV and he was asked if we have roads over here!

The first word of the phrase 'dumb questions' kind of sums up Americans for me to be honest.
When I first seen this post I thought it was "dumb questions" for example, as in when my brother comes into the kitchen and see's me washing the dishes/cooking a meal or and then ask's "what are you doing?".....I thought that was what this forum topic was leading to but guess that's more of an "annoying question"...or probably just dumb too.

lus22 that is a dumb question you gave as a good example. Here is another example . An old girlfriend asked me a question about one of my mates."What is John Dunphies Second name" After a shocked pause I replied Smith. She still thinks his second name is Smith.
Any dumb questions will do here mates and matets.

When in london I had someone who was also in a responsible job ask me if I put on my accent for the tourists wtf!and she was serious!
Had an argument at work with someone who insisted that as she came from SE England she didn't have an accent she spoke the queens english in other words accents only happened outside and North
My mum had even better ones when she emigrated to America in the mid 50's;
"Do you have running hot water?"
"You speak English very well"
"Do you make shawls?"

The title of this thread was Dumb Questions not Dumb Racist Bastards so Fuck Off.

You've got to admire how these racist fuckwits manage to get their stupid bigotry into any conversation, no matter the topic.

to right floweredpig. This was really a light harted daft post. To many subjects get hijacked by the usual suspects and turned into shit posts.

Ignore the the racist comments and posters, you only give them credibility. Let's get back on track.

Dumbest questions; (to a Scotsman) regrettably from some of my friends and relatives over the other side of the 'Pond' both in the States and Canada.

"Do you guys have television?" (There followed a history lesson of John Logie Baird).
"Do you guys have McDonalds? (There followed a lesson on obesity and nutrition).
"Do you guys celebrate New Years....I won't tell you what followed that one!
"Do you guys wear kilts, eat haggis for breakfast?" Response, only before we switch on the television and head off to McDonalds but never at New Years....

.

my papa was asked that as well - he explained how he was there with Scottish Television and then started the history lesson.

i'm on an american forum as well and i hate it when on there they refer to the uk as England
