So, there lies an example of the difference between social expectations here and in Scotland. I tried to express my post in a way which emphasized reference to places where social expectations are more critical to modern day standards, where people are often pigeonholed and generally more ignorant, but I don't think I succeeded.

I'd remind the gentleman who said "this is Murica" that he does not know his country's history and the part played by the Scots in building this great nation. I'd go so far to say that if it were not for the Scots who immigrated, that "Murica" would not exist!!
