I don't to me they look rather similar I mean I know there is usually a stereotypical Irish look they always talk about that is quite different from the English stereotype but when I see anyone with Irish, Scottish, or English look I usually just say they have a Pan British Islander look although this is not always the case.

I wonder if the consistency in these scores is proving a point that perhaps we are not too cognizant of. I know this is a small sample of the population but still it seems like intermixing in the British Isles between the Irish, Scottish, and English might have taken its toll in terms of covering over any previous differences. This would especially be the case with the Scottish and English but there are alot of Irish with Scottish and English ancestry as well.

The question would be if you saw Colm Meany somewhere and did not know his ancestry would it be that obvious that he was Irish. I think it would but that being said I have seen alot of English or Scottish people possess the Irish look for example Susan Boyle. It could be that the English and Scottish might possess the Irish look in high frequency due to admixing with Irish people.

Don't something like 1/4 of English people have a recent Irish ancestor? And I'd assume, given how long Ireland was united with Britain, a lot of Irish have British ancestry too (be it Scottish or English).

This was a hard mountain to climb virtually impossible to distinguish them all from each other. The logic goes like this some Irish have English and Scottish ancestry, some Scottish have English and Irish ancestry, and some English have Scottish and Irish ancestry. If you want proof I can just give you a look at my Irish and Scottish sides the Irish sides have English and Scottish backgrounds while the Scottish sides have Irish and English ancestry.

Most of the Irish I know tend to get about with a cheeky twinkle in their eye, leading one to believe that they find humour in just about everything they see or hear. :p (Seriously.)

Yeah I am sure the English have their tough blokes I usually see them to be a bit more refined and have a taste for higher forms of culture. This is from what I have experienced from the ones I met. I knew five Englishmen they all possessed IQs above in the top 2% were very polite and one of them was a professor emeritus their character and refined personality sort of expressed itself through their general features and expression. The Irish I knew were people you seriously did not want to play around with. That said they could be merry if you got to know them well enough or offered them a cold one but if you provoked them or tried to get under their skin it was not going to be good for you. This is based off my experience if the Irish had to fight the English in a way clearly the Irish would win for their toughness and grit the English would win because of their intelligentsia and strategic superiority.

Yeah of course they can be quite cheery and look for humor everywhere but if you get in their way or try to alter their mindset they will break your bones. I mean most of the Irish and Scottish around here involve themselves in rugby and there are alot of Irish Pubs were brawls break out. That being said I think what you said is also true if you catch them in a good mood but if you catch them in their bad mood you better prepare yourself with plenty of protective gear.

Yeah I am sure England has its rough necks but probably all them are either of Irish ancestry or are immigrants from foreign lands. I mean come on if the English were that rought they would have sent men from the Pubs into the street to kill each one of those bloody hounds that raped the cities in England. In some parts of Ireland they would have beaten those Negroes, cracked their skulls over with beer bottles, and than preceded on to racking them.

Its unfortunate that you have to be so upset with it because part of it is true. If you have a problem with it you can live in a fantasy world and ignore reality but that will not help your cause. The IQ tests can be subjective and the criteria might not test all aspects of the intelligence of the mind but it does test the rational and logical aspects of the mind their are some parts of intelligence and the mind which can't be evaluated appropriately or properly with tests.

Its not a stereotype its something I formed off my own life experiences not with Americans of Irish or English ancestry but Irish and English individuals from the Ireland and England. By the way I never mentioned IQ tests I remotely pointed to it when explaining the correlation with the general anthropological features and expressions with the internal psyche and the internal mode of intelligence. It was in relation to this topic and helping people differentiate the English generally have a more intelligent and witty look which to me looks arrogant.

I would hire an English spy maybe or maybe hire an Englishman to build a bomb for me or to calculate some complicated forumla.

Well I got all the English right on the second go :thumb001:. I thought the woman, first on the fourth row looked very English Also. The Scottish and Irish was harder to tell.

I think it goes to show that the Scottish and Irish especially Scots not from the South are practically cousins to the Irish. I have a hard time distinguishing Scots and Irish as well at times I think most people do and they don't even realize it. Its no mere coincidence that the Irish and Scottish share a similar look at times even their surnames occasionally both have the Mc included.

You should hate the Russians worse than the Germans at least the Ukrainians I know do. When the Germans invaded Ukraine they gave out chocolate to their children and women while when the Russians came in they raped them all. Even the German brutality towards the Polish people is hyped up a bit too much and by the way the Germans absolutely were destroying the Russians until the winter set in and their blitzkrieg tactics were halted on the Volga river by guerilla warfare.

I know what they did to us Poles is horrible, but the past is the past and they are still our brother and sister just like Croatians and Serbs. If it weren't for Stalin, then I believe the Germans won and there won't be ''Poland''. Hell, even I wouldn't be exist, anyway...

Yes if you were not here it would be a very sad loss for Apricity who knows you might have existed in a German form instead of a Polish one. Either way I think Russia was a little crueler to the Polish than the Germans. Actually I don't know of a single group of people that have ever been nice to the Polish in the last 1000 years its been one tragedy after the other for them.

In some parts of Ireland they would have beaten those Negroes, cracked their skulls over with beer bottles, and than preceded on to racking them.
Ireland's turn is coming soon. You seen Dublinabad lately?

You're an odd sort, Geist. :wink

It would probably even be nice if life and people were as simple as you see them. (Although a bit boring.) That's not the reality though.

Yeah I have heard about all the nasty negroes in Ireland as well. I can't believe some of the Irish put up with it. If I was a member of the IRA I would be cracking down on them as well. I mean if the IRA is truly a nationalist militant group at least they would be cracking the whip and sending those scoundrels back to Africa. I have also heard that the dirtiest and most polluted city in Ireland has the highest percentage of Negroes in all of Ireland.

I know there is a great deal of diversity among a certain group of people but generally they express similar and like characteristics at times due to their psyche being exposed and shaped in a similar environment and culture. I know its not that simple and you can not cram people into a box but its not as complex as you make it either. I am trying to paint a general picture of a group of people not trying to sift through the details and such because it would not be worth my time and not worth yours. Plus the theyness of a people impress upon our common sense that a likeness is probability shared among the same group of people although this is not always the case

The IRA has baggage of its own;

Yeah well that is why I can not tolerate the IRA at least the English have their groups and gangs that want to kick the Negroes back to Africa.
