Green Building Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I'm not Scottish. Scotland's election is just entertainment for me. Damn. I projected based on your phrasing. I'm no stakeholder in these results either. My blood is Irish, Welsh, Dutch, and English. I am entertained though nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Ambien Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 All I have to say is, wth. We had to kill a buttload of Brits to get our freedom. Almost everybody else either just complained for theirs or just nicely asked for it. Wusses!!!! And in 2014 only 1-2% of Americans have the nuts to even vote for something other than Top D or Top R candidate. Makes the founding fathers overthrowing a government seem like fiction.

SabreFan1 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Just us the Irish,India and several African nations I double checked just to make sure, India lost their initial armed revolution and only gained their independence over a century later when Britain decided to split the country in two and gave them their independence by an act of parliament, after they complained a buttload, shortly after ww2. Britain just decided to sign a truce with the Catholic Irishmen in Southern Ireland and split Ireland in half and kept Protestant Northern Ireland. As to the African nations, I have no idea. With the exception of South Africa, I know very little of Africa's 19th and 20th century historical movements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said it before on CDC, until the US gets past it's "us vs. them" two party attitude, we are going to keep heading downwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish war of independence was what I was referring to and NI still until recently had the IRA running around. Plenty of uprising's there going back to the 1800's most of them ended up just begging for freedom after though still violence That said ours was the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Building Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I'll pour another glass of Ardbeg in honour of Scotland tonight, but I'm not entirely sure what I'll be celebrating. Perhaps my own independence from afar. Thus began the Scottish civil war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackberries Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Oh lulover its a simpsons reference. Im a commonwealth loyalist. I think Canada wouldnt have been the country it is today without cooperation with England up until its independance in 1982. I was worried about the precdent it would set with other nations.as well as the possibility of quebec seperatism coming back. Look at all the problems the US has gone through, going it alone. I just think based on the scottish roots of some of canadas founders and how integrated they are with our history, it would be a shame to lose our commonwealth brothers. Also I grew up in Regina in the 80s...very pro British city even today. We sang god save the queen in school. Might have brainwashed me a bit more than Braveheart ever did.
