Hottest Temper in Europe

[rhiannon]

Who has the hottest temper overall?

[Mordid]

South Slavs.

[rhiannon]

Poll added:)

[rhiannon]

Oh yea...you can vote for more than one option..

[rhiannon]

I voted the Irish, myself. Although, perhaps the Italians are right up there alongside.

[Hevneren]

I voted Russia, Italy, Spain and Greece. People in the Mediterranean always seem to be talking loudly and using a lot of gestures. You might call them flamboyant in their expression.

Russians are more hot tempered in a "I'll cut you!" kind of way. They really mean business when they get angry, I think, while people in the Mediterranean will mostly just gesticulate and be "loud".

[SwordoftheVistula]

Gotta go with the Irish, with Celts in general.

Slavs are just thuggish, not hot-tempered flareups like the Celts.

Southern Europeans are emotional, but not really as prone to rage like the Celts.

[Peyrol]

All the Jugoslavian ethnicities.

[Duke]

Italians

This Celt, who is also prone to rage, agrees with you:)

[Han Cholo]

What do you mean by hottest tempered? An highly bipolar, easy-to-be enraged motherfucker?

By my own experiences in internet the hottest tempered in Europe are some Turks, Assyrians, Kurds living in Northern European countries, especially when confronted about their opponents call a "parasite status", total psychopaths in most ways. Then the second would be Norwegians, one Norwegian weeks ago was speaking like an enraged psychopath talking about mass graves or some crap like that. The rest of all ethnicities I've crossed words with have not given me the impression of being "hot tempered" or easily enraged.

[Libertas]

Italians

With Italians it's all "fumo e poco arrosto" (all smoke and little roast meat)ie nervous bluster.:D:D:D
The Scots and Irish are the worst and they ARE dangerous when aroused.

Hottest tempered: Most likely to lose their temper and fly into a rage.

[Han Cholo]

Hottest tempered: Most likely to lose their temper and fly into a rage.

Then the answer is still the same as my previous post. Hooligans in East European countries look very gangsta and aggressive but people is like that everywhere in society's outcast. I don't think the average kid is a maniac, bipolar vodka drinker who is just looking to fight with everyone.

[BanjaLuka]

Generosity of 23ANDME, genetic inclination for Extroversion on the right side and also for Alcoholism on the Left side, hence if Anyone from Balkans or Italy and Sardinia gets excited easily or likes to be gregarious and chatty it really does not have to do anything with the level of intoxication but they might just have a genetic predisposition for it.:eek:

Extraversion

Extraversion is "the act, state, or habit of being predominantly concerned with and obtaining gratification from what is outside the self".[4] Extraverts tend to enjoy human interactions and to be enthusiastic, talkative, assertive, and gregarious. They take pleasure in activities that involve large social gatherings, such as parties, community activities, public demonstrations, and business or political groups. Politics, teaching, sales, managing and brokering are fields that favor extraversion. An extraverted person is likely to enjoy time spent with people and find less reward in time spent alone. They tend to be energized when around other people, and they are more prone to boredom when they are by themselves.

^ the bright side of extroversion ;)

[Bari]

Albanians I'd say. Closely followed by Serbs, Montenegrins, Bosnians and Greeks.

[Caeruleus]

I haven't met any irish (celtic) people so I cant talk about their temper but I've seen my fair share of balkanic dudes (especially ex-yugoslavs) and I can tell you that those men dont fuck around.

I've heard that irish men are prone to violence and quite the fighters too but thats just rumours and I dont know if its true or false.

Ah, that was debunked long time ago, he was a young talented actor from Germany otherwise good student and he just acted for that clip, I think he has a channel on youtube with some other things he did...:rolleyes:

[rhiannon]

I'd add more to the poll, to make it more reprensentative....but can't figure out how to do that. Dammit!

[Queen B]

Greeks and Italians.

[Absinthe]

It would have to be Greeks, Italians, and Balkanians in general.

I am always surprised at the frequency and facility by which a brawl can start in Athens, for example. One word or gesture can be enough to result into a beat down.

In Greece we have the infamous and disgusting expressions

"DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM"
or
"WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ME"

and these are the most common thing you hear in every situation. Even though a guy knows he is wrong (e.g. he violated a stop sign) it is the immense sense of egoism and thug mentality that prevails over common sense and courtesy.

Example:

an acquaintance of mine was at the gym a couple of days ago.
He went out of the shower in the male changing room and sat on the bench to put on his clothes.
Right next to him comes a muscular guy and puts his foot on the bench in order to tie his shoe laces.
My acquaintance tells him:
"hey, you know, you should not put your shoes on the bench, it is not hygienic. This is where we sit bare-butted to put our clothes on."

The other guy becomes instantly enraged and starts yelling
"WHO ARE YOU to tell me what to do and what not to do? What are you, GOD?
FUCK YOU!!! You got complaints about me? Tell it to *insert name here*, the owner of the gym. See what happens then!!"
(apparently he is friends with the owner of the gym and was implying "don't fuck with me, I got connections" :rolleyes:)

Then, he proceeds on climbing on the bench with both shoes on it in order to show his "superiority" to the person that only politely suggested that he should not do something un-hygienic.

Now, as you are reading this, you would imagine that this is some spoiled and thuggish teenager we are talking about...
But alas, according to my acquaintance, the guy was 40-ish years old.... :eek:

Blame it on the Greek mothers/families who always raise their sons as if they are little Gods, teach them that they are always right, that they can get away with anything and that they need not respect others. :mad:

[Pallantides]

North Norwegians, Sámi and Finns(at least the ones living in Norway and Sweden)

[morski]

Ah, that was debunked long time ago, he was a young talented actor from Germany otherwise good student and he just acted for that clip, I think he has a channel on youtube with some other things he did...:rolleyes:

Oh, I wasn't aware :).

itQ9yE_v8Jg

That's funny :)

[Mordid]

Serb (the one with shaved head) and Gypsy, lol.
cEs7PUEXVd4

[Äike]

Russians definitely have the hottest temper.

[Motörhead Remember Me]

Pour some booze in a Finn and he can turn into a real tough case.

[BanjaLuka]

One of problems in the Ex-Yugo (Croatia-Bosnia-Serbia) is that many guys carry a handgun on them illegally or legally obtained and their temper makes thinks further complicated, its generally advised to avoid conflicts in Balkans and not to interfere if you see some guys quarreling in public...

JLVjc6oXwzI

These guys were actually neighbors...and it was neighborly quarrel ...

:mad:

[Motörhead Remember Me]

and these are the most common thing you hear in every situation. Even though a guy knows he is wrong (e.g. he violated a stop sign) it is the immense sense of egoism and thug mentality that prevails over common sense and courtesy.


This is the most annoying trait in these peoples and I have witnessed this quite a number of times. It's this kind of behaviour which is for us Northeners as if from a completely different planet.

[rhiannon]

Scotland and the Balkans have now been added, courtesy of one of our wonderful mods (thanks Wanderlust!).... I would have added even more but only two more options were allowed.

[BanjaLuka]

Can anyone beat this ? :laugh:



Bosnian Tried to Kill Mother-in-Law With Rocket-Launcher

A Bosnian Serb has been sentenced to six and half years in prison for attempting to kill his mother-in-law with a rocket-launcher, an official said Thursday.

Miroslav Miljic, 26, pleaded guilty of trying to murder Nada Djekic, whom he had blamed for the failure of his marriage, in the attack last November in the central town of Doboj, a court official said.

After an argument, Miljic fired the rocket-launcher at Djekic's home, seriously injuring her while slightly injuring her daughter and husband. He then attempted but failed to shoot her with a machine-gun.:eek:

Bosnians have stashed away a significant number of weapons left over from the former Yugoslav republic's 1992-1995 war, which cost an estimated 100,000 lives.(AFP)

[Veneda]

Can anyone beat this ? :laugh:

Now I have no doubts for whom to vote :D

[Queen B]

I always remember an advertisment (for airways)
(Like it is too cheap and London will be full of Greeks)

[mymy]

I voted Balkan and Russia... But believed or not, i think Russians are more hot tempered than Balkan people.

[Onychodus]

i
Russians are more hot tempered than Balkan people
i think otherwise

[mymy]

i
i think otherwise

Just personal experience ;)

P.S. I know only few people, not whole nation.

LOL, it's the same here. :D:D We even have the same expressions in Croatian.

[BanjaLuka]

LOL, it's the same here. :D:D We even have the same expressions in Croatian.

You mean:

"Znas li ti tko sam ja?" = DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM

"Tko si ti da mi kazes?" = WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ME

Pan-balkanoid Phrases :laugh:


I hear something similar from 5-6 years old kids when they argue and they also add "You don't know who my father is!" or "Do you know who my dad is?" or "I'm gonna tell my dad!", "My dad is stronger than your dad." and when things get physical the kid that looses the fight leaves crying and saying "I'm gonna tell my mom what you did!" :laugh:

[Zephyr]

Well, I don't know why, but portuguese are excessively pacific. It takes a lot of shit to make people get into a fight. Actually we are specialised in shoulder shrugging.

Best picture to describe our temper:

Living in the Balkans is like living in a constant Latin American soap opera, from a Nordic perspective.

[Treffie]

I've worked with quite a few Scots and Irish and they've all been quite chilled and relaxed compared with all the Welsh windbags I've worked with.

[mymy]

This is hilarious. :laugh:

Hilarious? :D Just everyday ordinary situation... Here you can see lot much more crazy things... We even have ghosts on the roads:


Motorists have claimed a lonely road is being haunted by the ghost of a bride waiting for her groom.
Police have received dozens of calls about the apparition which floats in on the road between Bor and Zajecar in Serbia, local news agency Beta has reported.
One driver said: "She was wearing a wedding dress and waving her bouquet at me. Many people think she is the spirit of a jilted bride looking for her husband. I was so terrified I almost crashed right off the road."

People were in panic whole summer cause of this, they even called priest to help them. In the end police found out that it was joke of two bored brothers who wanted to scare people with plastic doll. But even minister reacted, lot of people believed it is read ghost. So, not only fiery temper, but also lot of humor and big imagination.

Overinflated egos + Emotional insecurity + Inferiority complex ftw. I think it's a cultural thing.

A true badass never behaves like that. The dog that barks doesn't bite ;)

The quiet ones are really dangerous.

We are the most peaceful ethnicity in Europe :embarrassed

Irishmen and Russians have the prize in half, I'm sure. Its remaining to divide it :)

[BanjaLuka]

This is hilarious. :laugh:

Living in the Balkans is like living in a constant Latin American soap opera, from a Nordic perspective.

I think I've seen them all...people used to even name their children by names of some of such Latin soap opera characters :D


Serbian band Flamingosi made a parody music video spoofing such tv series :

JTuw8DJDH48

Also comedy tv show Nadreality spoofed Latin soap operas in some segments :

Q6hF3uYLUc8

[Sikeliot]

Greeks, then Italians.

I'd have said Portuguese somewhere on there too but it wasn't one of the options.

[Eliades]

Balkans as in Serbs/Croats/Bosnians/Albanians for number 1 definitely, then after I'd say Russians.

[Argyll]

We Irish. Especially the ginger ones ;)

[Albion]

I'd say the Irish and English, both are quite known in the Isles for bad tempers once something pisses them off bad.

Wow, Northern Europe and the Germanics really are introverts. I suppose that's why we're said to be 'cold' to strangers and private.

[Rosenrot]

The mediterraneans have the reputations! But I think some Britishs are hot-headers too.

[Christian552]

Basing this off reputations, I would say the Russians and Germans are by far the hottest tempers for men.

For women: Italy & Greece. haha ;P

[gold_fenix]

Amost we should to say who are the most calm down, it is curious but when a german or a British drink is really worse than Spaniard or Italian drunk

[beaver]

We are strong opponents so far :(

[Loddfafner]

Judging from the submissions to the complaints department of the Apricity, it is a tossup between the Spaniards and the Italians. They must put something in the waters of the Mediterranean.

[Hess]

The Spaniards by a mile

[Laubach]

Based on my experiences, I knew the Spaniards were temperamental and rude in speech. I also found the Spanish women less accessible to talk to. But here in the forum, gold and Querubín are examples of very good guys

[Damião de Góis]

I'd have said Portuguese somewhere on there too but it wasn't one of the options.

No way...

[Sikeliot]

No way...

Maybe not the ones in Europe but the ones in America, yes.

[gold_fenix]

Portugueses?!?!?! in absolute, they don't have a mediterranean character, they are more peaceful and correct than ours

[The Journeyman]

I came close to fighting a guy from ex-yugoslavia when I was at a public pool in Vienna. He talked a lot of shit. Not sure if he would have acted on it though.

He was mad because I made fun of him for swimming like a toddler.

[Sikeliot]

Portugueses?!?!?! in absolute, they don't have a mediterranean character, they are more peaceful and correct than ours

Maybe I'm just going by my own temper when I say that then ;)

[Damião de Góis]

Maybe not the ones in Europe but the ones in America, yes.

I'm not just saying that, i'll give you examples:

- We had an armed revolution done by the military which led to the fall of the dictatorship in 1974. That's the perfect setting for a bloodbath but you know how many people died? 4.

- Our "riots" regarding the economy and unemployment are nowhere near what happened in Athens, Rome or other places. They look like this:

http://www.jn.pt/Storage/JN/2011/big/ng1474196.jpg

- We don't have football hooligans or any other kind of hooligans.

[heyaitsme]

Maybe not the ones in Europe but the ones in America, yes.

I agree on this 100%

[Raikaswinþs]

In the eyes of a Spaniard, I see our Portuguese and French neighbours as moderate tempered, like, in my experience, the English are: Between Spaniars, I'd say we all are rather hot tempered ,like the Poles and the Russians are, although not as much as the Irish. I would say that we are in pair with Germans. I don't know where in the world came the stereotype that German's aren't hot tempered...they are, maybe in a different way but...fuck , it is much easier to reason with a Spaniard or a Scotsman than with a German. They are stubborn as fuck, fiercesome and prone to anger: Also quite sensitive... much like your average Spaniard :D and their language is definitely boiling hot


I would say, out of personal obervation, than south Slavs, specially Serbs, other balkans such as Bulgars, Albanians and Turks, and the Magyar, are the fiercest europeans.


Ranking : 1 being the coldest, 10 the hottest.

Spain: 7 (an average, with peaks of 8 between Basques, Catalans and Madrilenos, and "lows" o 6.5 between some Islanders of both seas, and some rural areas of North Castile)

Germany: 6.5-7

Ireland: 7.5

Portugal: 6.5

France: 6.5

England: 6.5

Finland: 6

Sweden: 5.5

Norway: 5.5

Estonia: 6

Albania: 8

I will include as well some non Euros, since I believe Euros are most of them quite hot tempered

Brazil: 7-8

Argentinians: 7

Chileans: 8

Caribean peoples are rather chilled and laid back, but they can be fiercesome in some scenarios

Mexicans: 7

Americans: 7

Canadians: 5

Chinese: 5

I would think that there are quite a few factors involved, other than reputation. One might be:

Italians. I am 1/8th from my dads side, however unlike my dad 2 of my uncles married italian women, therefor pretty much have italian families, my cousins have HOT tempers, I do too :P.

I don't doubt it :)

[askra]

Generosity of 23ANDME, genetic inclination for Extroversion on the right side and also for Alcoholism on the Left side, hence if Anyone from Balkans or Italy and Sardinia gets excited easily or likes to be gregarious and chatty it really does not have to do anything with the level of intoxication but they might just have a genetic predisposition for it.:eek:


https://www.23andme.com/res/img/factoids/TjYT4tWUH0e8xKdNEahg5Q_pca_sociocultural_plots.png



^ the bright side of extroversion ;)

Sardinia was probably calculated with Italy, because is an italian region,
however we Sardinians are stereotyped as very introverted and extremely reserved. unlike we are stereotyped as heavy drinkers, we have a consume of beer doubled (60 liters per capita) than the italian average (30 liters per capita), and in the interior provinces the consume of beer is 100 liters per capita, more than Austria and Poland!

however
how can the genetic decide if a person is extrovert or introvert?
only social and cultural factors can determine it.

I would say the exact same about the Irish, Scots and Poms - in that order. Fists and headbutts are very common forms of weaponry. I also included the Greeks and Balkans because it doesn't take much in the use of words to set them off, especially about their home nations.

I think a good balance is ideall, if you are too cold you are a robotlike, if you are only led by temper you lack the self-controll in my opinion. I dont view "hot temper" either as positive nor as negative per se..... But Southerneuropeans got too much romanticized about being "hot temper" when its actually a lack of self-controll, loud speech and foul language......

What makes albos realy dangerous is that anyone of them can shoot you, and you never know who you have ofended and you thought he just walked way..

There still is some of that, but it's rare. It's based on very old and primitive social code that used to exist all over in the Balkans before the Slavs, even in Homeric Greece.

I wouldn't exactly call it hot-headed, there are special rules to follow, it's more of a law that follows an eye for an eye principle. Despite the nature of it, it's very calculated.

Those old societies were based on a sense of honour. For example, if someone killed your brother you would have to kill the person who did it or a male relative. Women, the elderly and children were not acceptable targets, killing women, the elderly or children would entail sanctions from your own clan and you would not have been allowed to live with them anymore.

This honour based social system has its negative aspects, but some positive aspects as well. When you gave a promise, it was linked to your honour, and breaking a promise meant that you lost your honour and you would lose the respect of society. Which meant that you would either not give a promise you couldn't keep or that if you had promised something you would keep it.

As mentioned earlier, women, the elderly and children weren't to be touched in any way or any circumstances. Which meant honourous and clean warfare and strict discipline which required a cool, calculating mind.

Let me describe it like that. In normal situations, every day life, Russians or Balkanites will be the first Europeans to beat someone ready for the hospital. In extreme situations, full of hate or full of passion for an ideology, Germanics will probably be the first to slaughter people.

And just to break the stereotype, from her accent she's Venetian (northern Italian) and I think she's some reasons to be boiling. :D
Then she said that it's because that some public employees are so easy-going that Italian public sectors are in bad conditions and then that the society should become more serious or something similar.
Notice also that in the bus none else is speaking.

Yes, Salazar even branded the people as having "brandos costumes" (mild manners).

It shows, despite all the austerity we're suffering you simply don't hear any news of riots or fighting, simply because they just don't happen, things are as calm as they've ever been. It's not necessarily a good thing, it also means that we can be pushed far without retaliation, but usually then it crosses the line we just snap in a not-very-pleasing way.

[GeistFaust]

I always envision British Islanders have the hottest temper, and potentially the most destructive, especially the Irish and Scottish. The Italian temper seems sort of superficial and harmless that it is more or less entertaining.


I have never really thought Germans or people in the Central/Northern European Germanic core really seemed like they could expressive hot tempers. I imagine them to be more introverted and reserved about their anger, but inclining towards explosive sequences from time to time.


I also imagine Balkan people from what I have seen to have some fiery and destructive tempers. In final I would have to say that the two I would pick for hottest temper in Europe would be Balkan peoples and the British, so it seems the British-Balkan relationship is even stronger. ;)

Hollywood makes movies based on SA Police real-life bad-assness. And even then they fail to capture it.

Their temper kind of reminds me of the absolute lack of tolerance that the average Dutchman has for bullshit. Foreigners that say that we Dutch are tolerant have obviously never visited us. A Dutchman would have said (and probably done) exactly the same things (apart from the racially related stuff).

Italian ill-temper springs from frustration or nerviness not toughness or intolerance.

I've gotta say balkans and poles, growing up in New York I was friends with many of them and they were scary dudes, some of the girls too actually. And it wasn't the stereotypical, ill-tempered disrespectful american kids sort of a thing. Most of them were 1st generation immigrants, even the 2nd generation ones were pretty badass too. They had that i'm from the "motherland" , I'll kick your ass if you fuck with me sort of a vibe.

May I ask who from the Balkans?

[Rereg]

Irish people are impulsive.

[Arne]

Germans

May I ask who from the Balkans?

Bosnians, Albanians and some Serbs. Although I knew two sisters from Montenegro who were lovely, some of the sweetest girls I've ever meet.

[Sikeliot]

From having spent more time on this board I would change my vote to Balkanians.

Poles? Well that depends where they were from in Poland. West Poles are easy going, and not that aggressive at all. The ones from central or eastern parts are a different story I think, but I don't know them as well as I do west Poles. ;) But still most of them are not that warlike on average. It must be being different in a new environment. Other Poles what do you think? :p

Moi? Temper? Amigo I said it before I'll say it again, if I had any less of a temper I do, you couldn't detect my pulse! :p

You wanna win this argument? Ok, you've got it. It's all you from now on. :D

Balkan people. We'll do or say anything not to be related to our neighbors; short of genetic testing, archaelogical studies, linguistic comparisons and using common sense.

Most are pussies in a fist fight.

Maybe some ''under-Rome'' people.

Not certainly piemonteis or venetians. :lol:

[beaver]

South Italy overall but in some points - Russians (South) - terrible guys . No one day in Voronezh (I have friends there and visit them sometime) without salutes and some holyday. They cross the street in every point if they suddenly need e.g. a shop across the big street, buses make races along with passengers, almost every trip in a bus is accompanied by scandal - for pleasure only. Its too boringly to go for the whole hour etc. Its a shok for me every time, I'm from a Northern city with almost "Finnish" habits

[arcticwolf]

Do Scots have hot tempers? From what I can observe (people of Scottish heritage in the States) they are low key almost as docile as Poles. I would never consider them hot tempered.

[Prisoner Of Ice]

It's strange because I go from nothing to white hot rage in an instant, and go back again pretty quick, too. I have become better at controlling it, though.

I think Irish and Spanish have the true hot tempers. Balkans are "touchy" maybe, but not illogically angry.

[Grace O'Malley]

Irish being hot tempered is just a stereotype. I'm Irish (as in Irish born and completely Irish ancestry). Not all you Irish Americans claiming Irish are hot tempered. Not one member of my family is or was hot tempered. They are very placid and good natured. I do know some Irish that are a bit hot tempered but I know other nationalities as well. Ireland has gone through a lot of austerity recently. Did anyone see any news about the Irish out protesting and starting fires or causing any problems?

There are plenty of non-Irish Australians very hot tempered. I'm very good at keeping my temper under wraps and when I have a drink I'm a completely happy drunk. I'm much more likely to think about what I say before blurting anything out. There are hot tempered people of every nationality. A lot of this is just stereotyping.

The Irish as well are a very pacificist nation and don't join in any wars.

I don't think it's commonly stereotyped at all, doubt most people believe that. But I do think it's the case.

That's not the same as rioting and looting though. That's more about thuggery which I don't think fits at all.

[jmls]

Irish, Balkanians, and Southern Italians

Another one I just thought about. Why are the Irish footballs fans always voted the best fans in any tournament the Irish are in. The last Euro and the last World Cup that the Irish were in they were voted the best fans. So how are Irish so bad tempered then?

When their team loses they just sing and don't riot and throw things like other nationalities do.

There's a big difference between a bad temper and being evil. Thugs and bullies starting fights love to have 3-1 advantage or more, people with a temper are the ones fighting half a dozen guys because it's right.

I have not started any fights but I have finished a lot of them.

[Äike]

Russians by far have the hottest temper in Europe. Only like Brazilians have a hotter one:

Wow, what a piece of garbage. He was the one doing the bad driving, then he chases down the guy he cut off and who didn't do anything but honk to get him out of the way.

There are literally thousands of videos like that of Russians having such bad temper.

Fuck, even pedestrians have pulled out guns to shoot at cars that didn't let them cross the road.

[Prisoner Of Ice]

If he pulled a gun I'd probably have run him down. To pulll a gun on someone when you are at fault is ridiculous, though.
