Welcome to Bonny Scotland
 
Hey they don't tell you this in the Travel Brochures when they are force
feeding tourists with tartan and shortbread. http://books.guardian.co.uk/news/art...596079,00.html

But why should there be three times as many murders in Scotland than in England? We are not, and never have been, a nation of violent psychopaths. Funny, the Scotch in early America were commonly violent drunkards. Must be just the ones that got shipped? Seriously though, and it's not the tequila talking, you dispossess a people of their land and culture then ghettoize their decendents in wonderful government housing, with a wonderful government education, throw in a wonderful government check and everything is going to be wonderful. Oh and read/watch Trainspotting.

[sarcasm]Gun control sure keeps the murder rate in check, doesn't it ... oh, wait, they have total gun control and they're dropping like flies? However could that happen?[/sarcasm]

be-bop, I read that article through 3 times. I even printed it out so I could read it on paper
I think the author is missing a basic premise. Does the author think they built Hadrians wall to use up the stone? :rolleyes:
