Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 That's not true though. Many people see Scotland as a country but feel we are in a beneficial union. Well they may see it that way, but I see it another, i’m perfectly happy for them to have their own views I simply disagree. Scotland used to be an independent country, its now a region within another country and i’d like that to change. I just dont see how you can be a country without statehood, if you dont govern yourself and cant control your interaction with other countries, its discussed in the Montevideo convention and I take my view from that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's seriously not fucking cool. Whether you like wearing the kilt or not is personal preference and nothing more (I'd also like it noted that every national dress is a historic costume from some dusty old period or another). Calling them unScottish is uncool. It has undertones of elitism. I just call them pathetic, sellout, spineless, English-wannabe cowards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, wanting Scotland to be entirely absorbed into greater England has been a part of Scottishness for hundreds of years. James VI wasn’t any less Scottish for wanting the name Scotland to be wiped out entirely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieThomas Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Not sure what you'd expect to see that'd make the thread "worth posting in" tbh, since page 1 it's been "what an absolute catastrofuck" and that hasn't changed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 19 hours ago, Mastermind said: Cringe. Beautifully put. Sums you up perfectly. The famous Scottish cringe- These cultural commentators claim that a sense of cultural inferiority is felt by many Scots, particularly in relation to a perceived dominance of English or anglocentric British culture, partly due to the importance of London, within the United Kingdom, and consequently a sense of Scottish resentment and underachievement. The cringe is said to manifest as feelings of low self-worth and embarrassment felt by Scottish people in response to overt expressions of Scottish cultural identity and heritage such as the Lowland Scots and Scottish Gaelic languages, and the kilt. I am proud to be Scottish because Scotland is a great place. You travel outside of Scotland to see how highly it's though of. I wish my fellow countrymen could see it rather than look to the English for their value and place in life, which is nothing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
git-intae-thum Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 (edited) Beautifully put....but its assuming mahogony nappers like mastermind actually have any connection to Scotland.
