The hating of the English.

Ah, an American view.
Of course they don't like us on some deep-rooted level... we basically conquered their countries and took away their real independance, making them vassal countries of England. However, that is only natural, since we were by far the stronger country, and aside from Ireland their lands directly border ours. Ireland was close enough to then be worth integrating.

I like the English for the most part - I think it might have something to do with your international image being carried by a bunch of over earning chavs that like to slap each others asses (footballers) and the parasitic way that English tourists/stag/hen groups find the cheapest places in Europe to go to and (ironically) make it cheaper and nastier. There seems to be an almost stubborn ability to be multi-culturally inept and insensitive.
I'm going to ask you to look up conquer and vassal in the dictionary and them come back to correct that paragraph.
Us English are generally rough, chav, scum. I say generally because when you look at the masses, we are all a Jeremy Kyle lot (apart from us classy few 
).
As much as it pains me to say it (and as racist as it is), from experience of nearly all that I have met, the Jocks are a bunch of *****. They're usually angry at life with a huge chip on their shoulder and there are a lot of them in the forces, which can make life quite difficult sometimes.

it was always the Geordie nobbers that seemed to have a problem to me, most of them had an over developed sense of how good they were and seemed to have an attitude problem bigger than the permanent hangover most of them had....but then they were pongos I suppose...I'm Scottish and have nothing against the English.
I always want England to get beat at football though, purely as a local rivalry thing.

Im originally from the continent and the image we get of the four nations in Britain is that generally the English are rather cold while the other three are easier to get along with. The reality after living here half my life is obviously complicated but still not resembling this perception at all. Not only can the English be very approachable and easy going but individuals from the other nations can be so preoccupied in their nationalist views that they perceive ****ging other nations as a way of expressing them.
Having said that, the Scottish are my personal favourites and their accent sounds brilliant (though on the latter, I have had a fair few people disagreeing with me).

All the insignificant nations(Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland) are just jealous because we historically we have been better than them at everything and always will be(apart from Rugby but that doesn't count). They just jelly.

It's funny really, I grew up in a small fishing town in the north of scotland, and I've never had an accent, I've lived down here for the last 14 years or so (hopefully not for much longer), and yet, every time I go home, I see the same anti-english sentiment that some people talk about. What I do notice though, is that it mostly comes from the younger generations (less so from the older, who are mostly a little more mellow), but I think that a lot of it is fired up by the political rhetoric from certain public figures.
Most people, after all, are very aware of what would happen if 'english' industry/military were to be pulled out.

I have always tried to be polite, friendly and respectful with people, only problem is that sometime down the line some seem to think they can be disrespectful and then go into shock when I have to be firm.

You can conquer a land and then make the leader your vassal once subjugated.
We didn't conquer Scotland, we have a Union. Scotland is not the vassal nation of England.

I've noticed it in all 4 home countries in about equal measure. It gets boring hearing people you know for a fact never supported Scotland/Ireland at sport, regurgitate the generic story about how they always used to support them, but then they were in a pub one day in Scotland/Ireland and there was an England match on...
More baffling to me is the animosity between northerners and southerners in England. I actually cringe when I go back south to visit friends and family and hear people in failed London satellite towns that are frankly a tip, with zero going for them other than close proximity to London, going on about rough and horrible it is up north.

They were conquered in medieval times weren't they? http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/utk/scotland/conquered.htm
It may have been on and off over the next centuries, but my general meaning was clear I think. Obviously they would not be a vassal in this century...
