Fuck off idiot. Gaels are gaels regardless of where they are in the world. And..members of the celtic peoples as a whole. Irish is a nation not a people...look at all of the non gael irish...poles etc...i'm R1B1C-7...duh...

[gaelicscots]

whats xenophobic about it. ?

[gaelicscots]

" I have friends who moived here from Ireland in 1970, are they no longer Irish"

There is obviously a difference between native irish who maved to america, and self proclaimed irish americans who have never been to ireland.

If you were not raised in ireland and from ireland you are not irish, nor do the irish accept you as irish. this is reality, deal with it.

dont lecture me on scottish history fiend,i hope everyone enjoys the pipes,and i dont have to swear at you to get my point across.i think you,ll find they,re called great highland pipes for a reason.cheers.

[happygael]

They played "The Minstrel Boy. That's Irish.They also played The Marine Corps Hymn. Maybe this gettogether was a salute to great people everywhere, whether they be Scots Irish or American.

[scotpiper1888]

superb,but why do so many north americans want to dress up as scots and play the pipes.

[scottishnationalist]

I have no Idea, it irks me, watching lots of foreigners dress up and play scotsman. (If you have scottish heritage that doesnt make you scottish)

[hank1231]

my appologies for all the american's of scottish heritage that are proud of our roots. sorry we couldn't have been born and raised in scotland...like you

[scottishnationalist]

hank1231 with the apology out of the way, we scots can be scots and you americans can actually start acting like americans.

[gaelicscots]

hank1231, having scottish or irish heritage does not make someone irish or scottish.

[hank1231]

does that mean that they cannot celebrate their heritage?

[gaelicscots]

"Celebrate their heritage"

What does this even mean ?

Many scots like msyelf have irish ancestry, we dont feel the need to celebrate our "heritage".

Isnt your heritage american anyway ?

[hank1231]

having and showing pride in your ancestry.

embracing your roots.

Hey dumb shit and dumb shit 2, Scos didn't invent the pipes. They only made them popular in modern times. Pipes were around as far back as 1000BC and nowhere near Scotland. So get off your fucking high horse and let people enjoy the music. It's no different than someone wanting to play a guitar or a piano. Suppose you invented those too, right?

[SkivMarine]

The Hymn for my Beloved Corps!

Makes me want to stand up and march strait back to the recruiting office and see if they'd take back a 50 year old Marine.
