Well then that would be a lesson in which you must learn. I think a lot of people go through a similar problem that you may be cenk. And that's too bad... #no# Didn't Hitler have a similar problem? What's with his mother's heritage? I dont like your comparison of me with Hitler. Does it count if I dont believe or recognise that there was an Armenian Genocide?

LOL It doesn't matter whether you believe or accept it. What has happened has happened, regardless of your beliefs and/or acceptance.

I dont think it did happen, I am of a different opinion. I also dont think its an established fact.

I wouldn't say the British national anthem is racist. A bit too Christian maybe but not racist. We have good reason to hate the Scots you resisted our Englification efforts on you. God save the Queen is the most well known national anthem in the world. But to be honest its pretty old fashoned now. I say get rid of this anthem and get rid of the Queen, she doesn't do anything anyway! racist or not i find it offensive to my ears, i also find union jacks offensive to look at (though part of that reason is because in scotland it carries connotations of bigotry thanks to Rangers FC). for once i am in agreement with you, however, get rid of the queen and the english national anthem - while we're at it let's get rid of the Union too

If you lknow of someone else who had a problem with their heritage and was not afraid to show it, then let me know. I'm not saying your agendas are just like his, it was just a connection I made that I found was interesting and an example of how there exist people who will go to great lengths to deny parts of their heritage.

Thats madness and thats blasphemy of the worse kind Scotland doesn't need to be out of the Union infact I'm pretty sure they couldn't afford it. You have to understand that if Scotland is let out of the Union then that would only happen after the oil reserves in the north sea run out.

it's not worth going on about it in this thread, but suffice to say that if enough scots were in favour of independance then we could force it on our own. the pro-union authorities and media, however, keep scottish self-esteem low and suppress information which shows that we could thrive on our own in order to nip that one in the bud. the rest of the UK depends on north sea oil, if scotland took it for herself then she would be one of the richest countries in Europe.
