Parasites.. Take a look at Pippa Middleton and Prince Harry, living it up with a millionaire life style all from our taxes, fucking sickening.....we are all human beings, why are they better than us? they still shit through their arsehole....
@weslake898 Like I say, I may not hate them, but I completely agree with you bud, you like everyone else out there in my eyes are every bit just as important, if not more important to life. I'm just passionate against a belief of there being a born people, viewed upon as if special. And yes, it's your tax money that more or less pays to keep them there, so I agree.
Royal family make me sick , they don't care about nobady , they aren't real Protestants , they wouldn't give you the crap from their ass , they have all the money in the world and don't even work while everyone else either busts their ass working or can't even get a job. They don't care about Britian or UK , they could be off german decent (I dono if it's true , could be crazy conspiracy stuff)
@GlasgowRangersFC2011 The stuff about them being German and conspiracy is definitely interesting, I can say that for sure. I don't hate them personally, but I certainly can't stand the publicity mate. I'm a believer of equality, biggest reason I fell in love with Robert Burns work, his work speaks a thousand words. it's no different to celebrities, to me some random persons wedding out there is just as valuable as theirs!
@robbietarran Amazing how someone like you can pass judgement on someone like me who you don't even know. For your information, am proud to be British, that doesn't mean to say I have to love the Royal Family. As for an Independent Scotland, no I don't believe in it. I think you should think before you even type anything, to call someone like me stupid, proves you don't even know me as a person. Besides, what's your opinion matter to me? Fuck all lol
The royal wedding dident really bother me the only thing i hate was that they spent 3 million pounds of are Tax and Money so some posh 20 yr Boy and Girl could get married wene Britain is all ready in depth and shot !!!!!!!!!:).
@TobyParr In all due respect, the country brings in heavy profit from the whole event alone, from the whole speculation. It's just the whole view of a people on this earth being viewed as something high over all the rest of us, I never could stand that. I'm not a hateful or bitter person, just feel against that sort of thing.
@townofed Completely agree with you mate, I have much respect for you for that reason, because i share that view, that we are all equal. That's why am a big fan of Rabbie Burns, not because am a Scot, but because what he stood for, way he viewed things. Why should our people be made to look like peasants outside a gate looking up?
@EPICLEGENDS2011 Completely agree with you mate, I don't hate them, but I despise the view of a people being higher than us in society. That's just my view though :)
@ScottMcK9 Scott This is from the Guardian: 1.6m youngsters live in "severe poverty" which it says is a "national scandal". A radical shake up of the welfare system seeing £18bn wiped from benefits, the charity fears the number of children living without the basics will rise unless action is taken. Wales has the highest proportion of children living in severe poverty (14%), followed by England with 13%, then Scotland and Northern Ireland which have 9% each. Paid by us the royals live lavishly
@CoolCollectableToys reading that clarifies my whole point and thanks for the clarification on all of that, just proves my point. I'll definitely take a look at the video you recommended me to, just makes me sick the way things are whilst they live easy lives. Our people made to look like petty slaves :/
You do realise that one Scottish person that came on here and tried to claim that pride is worthless and he has no pride, try finding me more Scottish people like him, cause I'll fucking tell you this, you'll be hard pushed boyo!!
Try telling me the nation I was born in isn't a proud country, open your fucking eyes and look at the thousands of Rangers, Celtic, Tartan Army Supporters, and that's them alone, not even counting all the other proud Scots of Robert burns, whoever that was a windup!
@ScottMcK9 you'd be hard pressed to find people in ANY country who don't have at least *some* pride. That's true. I wouldn't disagree with that. The fact that lots of people do something doesn't make it sensible though. Many people believe in a magical cloud man in the sky who listens to you when you put your hands together and say some arbitrary words. It's a silly belief, but many people have it. And they have EVERY RIGHT to. I'm not questioning that, if anything please understand that 1 point
@TheAntiSpinView What's your point? I might not be religious, but who are you to call them silly bastards for believing there is a God? Now you really do sound ignorant. Well there's a big, BIG fucking difference between a 'GOD' in the sky and what is reality! the vast majority of this nation is proud, and yes has every right to be proud of our nation.
@ScottMcK9 ... what I'm questioning is WHY. I also used to have national pride. I was proud of Ireland, but I stepped back and asked myself why, and I realised I have no more reason to be proud of being Irish than I do to be proud of having black eyes or a beard or 10 fingers. It's just something I was born with by chance. I take pride in my own accomplishments rather than those of others who have an arbitrary connection to me.
@TheAntiSpinView What the fuck are you going on about? are you trying to tell me you are better than all of us who are proud of our nation? If you want an answer to that, you simply fucking aren't.
I'll say this, I'd rather be proud of my nation, and have those feelings, than be a total fanny, who doesn't even know what it means to be proud of ones nation. You simply don't. You said you used to and took a step back? Really? couldn't have been that proud of your nation and that says it all.
@TheAntiSpinView You should go in front of thousands at a football match and question their pride of Scotland and then tell them it's wrong. You'll soon realise, they are not the people in the wrong, and the reason you have dark hair?
Because you're an original settler of the basques from more than 10,000 years ago, that's why. And you have no pride in that? How fucking sad.
@TheAntiSpinView You have no pride in your heritage, not even of your history? You can't even see a positive side to being proud, the only thing you can think of relating to pride is prejudice, am sorry to tell you this, they don't go together. Pride only mixes with prejudice when mixed with the wrong people. So because am proud of Scotland, does that mean we're all prejudice? No.
You question me when I have SCOTLAND written through me, my number 1 passion and you and the daft other tit, comes here and tries to tell me, am in the wrong for being proud of Scotland? Really? And I don't speak on behalf of my nations people, my nations people alone can speak of their pride, just type into YouTube Tartan Army Invasion Paris
You'll see THOUSANDS of Scots like myself who are BLOODY PROUD of this country, and RIGHTLY SO!! who are you to question that?
@ScottMcK9 your invisible audience aren't cheering, you don't need to defend your country. It's okay. I would suggest that Scotland is your number one passion because you simply don't have any achievements or passions of your own to be proud of. I'm asking why you're proud and all you keep doing is asserting that you're proud and your right to be proud (which I NEVER questioned) that's why this keeps going round in circles. It's a shame because you seem more intelligent than that.
@TheAntiSpinView Invisible audience lol I don't need any audience, you clearly don't know me. I can say things without giving a damn how many or who sees it, that's me. And who the fuck are you to question my passion?? I don't have any passions? I support Glasgow Rangers, ever heard the atmosphere in Ibrox Stadium?
Aye, it's FAR!!!!!!!!!!!! above any stadium in Europe never mind the atmosphere in any English stadium, I wonder why? And that has fuck all to do with sectarianism.
@TheAntiSpinView I seem more intelligent than that? hahahahahahaha funny as fuck, you, the stupid one, tries to come here and tell me I'm the one losing the argument as if I'm the stupid one? No, no, no pal, you are the fucking idiot pal. You are the same fucking idiot that doesn't understand that when I say Glaswegians wouldn't stand for shit, you're too thick and one track minded, that Glaswegians can also be individuals.
That plonker deserved being blocked, not often I'll do that, but fuck me was he thick as shit and pig ignorant. He may as well line up most of Scotland's population and tell our people we're all delusional for being proud of Scotland. Arsewipe.
@ScottMcK9 no you blocked him because you were incapable of stringing together an argument and have to lump all the Scottish people together to make your points. Any rational minded person who reads through these comments will be able to see that. You have RH negative blood? Well contrat-u-fucking-lations. Give yourself a pat on a back. You should be really proud of that. Your arguments are the very definition of the no true scotsman fallacy.
@NothingMusical Correction, I blocked him for talking pure and utter fucking shite pal, the fact I was born in Glasgow and know what the people of Glasgow are like, will show my argument stands strong and would argue that to my death bed. That does not mean to say Glaswegian people aren't all unique from one another, because they are. And you're fucking right I'd be proud of it, why wouldn't I be? Am Scottish.
@NothingMusical You going to be another stupid wee fanny and tell me how Scotland (A PROUD NATION) is full of what exactly? Because our people are proud of their nation, then we're all delusional? And don't try and state I speak on behalf of Scotland, look around you, Scotland is a proud nation and has every right to be so. Does that make us ignorant? No, so I suggest you respect that, or continue your own ignorance.
@ScottMcK9 no, YOU are proud and you ARE projecting YOUR view of Scotland onto everyone there. And I respect your *right* to be proud, but that doesn't mean I have a respect for pride in itself. This happens a lot when I debate, people talk about how their RIGHT to believe something is being attacked, even though it isn't. This is a common as muck diversionary tactic and it doesn't work with me, and it won't work with rational people who read these comments.
@TheAntiSpinView Oh really am a??? Funny that is, because MOST OF SCOTLAND is a PROUD nation. So what exactly are MY people then? Ignorant fucking bastards for being proud of a nation that INVENTED THE MODERN WORLD?
Oh yes, that's right, we're ignorant bastards because we're proud of a nation that's achieved a lot.
@ScottMcK9 And before you block me out of cowardice and the realisation that the logical terminus of your arguments is an utterly ridiculous one, I would like to say that that's exactly what I mean when I say "take pride in your own achievements". Why should anyone take pride in having RH-negative blood? You had nothing to do with that. You have nothing to do with the patch of land your born on, your skin color, your sex organs... taking pride in any of those things is ridiculous.
@NothingMusical Who the fuck said you need to do something about something in order to be proud of something? So because I never created the songs Robert Burns wrote and because I never done anything for Scotland, am not allowed to be proud of my nation??
@ScottMcK9 you're *allowed* to be proud ffs, I'm just asking WHY. And I think that's what he was asking to, and you can't answer it, because there ISN'T a reason. It's like me being "proud" to have testicles, and being proud of achievements that people with testicles have made. If you'd answered the question then maybe something constructive could've been had rather than this petty exchange of insults. Anyway you're going to block this account too, but that's okay, because...
@TheAntiSpinView Why?? Why??? Because we fought the Romans for 500 years unconquered and free and fought the vikings unconquered and free, became an important nation in history that went on to BUILD the foundations of the modern world. That's why am proud to be Scottish and bloody well right I am.
@ScottMcK9 many nations could lay claim to putting down the foundations of the modern world, but it's irrelevant because YOU have nothing to do with the any of those things. You keep saying "we" as though you were there on the battlefields fighting with them. You weren't! It doesn't matter how many times you say it! But feel free to continue taking pride in things you have nothing to do with just because your father ejaculated in your mother on the same patch of soil as those people.
@TheAntiSpinView How the fuck could any nation lay claim to the foundations of the modern world, when they followed off Scotland and learned and read from Scotland's fucking books?
They didn't turn to France you thick cunt. Then again you're uneducated so I wouldn't expect you to know about the Scottish Enlightenment and it's importance above the rest.
@ScottMcK9 So how did people follow Scotland exactly? You've got me interested, but what exactly did Scotland do that was so significant for the world?
And btw, why have you got a navy blue colour in your Scottish flag in the background?
That's a Tenerife flag, not a Scottish flag.
The Scottish Flag is Pantone Celestial Light Blue colour in the background.
@Englanistan You don't know what Scotland has done for this world? Are you honestly saying that to me?
And no, that's not a tenerife flag, that's a Saltire, that's the oldest flag on the entire planet earth, so how you got Tenerife, you just proved to me you know nothing about Scottish history pal, thanks for proving that.
I mean Scotland? You don't even know what Scotland done for your modern world?
"Off all the small nations of this earth, Perhaps only the Ancient Greeks could surpass the Scots to the Contribution to man kind"
And there's you questioning Scotland as a country?
Says it all really, doesn't it? I mean the fact no historian on the planet earth could argue what Sir Winston Churchill once said, how does that make you feel?
@Englanistan And you clearly don't know how the Scottish Saltire and it's blue background came about. The blue background represents the night sky. The Saltire is the oldest flag in the world, so how can that flag be from Tenerife mate? Seriously?
Do you know why it's called the St. Andrews Cross?
@TheAntiSpinView The fact I have nothing to do with the Scottish Enlightenment basically means in your terms, I can't be proud of my nation because of that??
Where were you born?
Fucking England? Wouldn't surprise me pal with the total pish you are hitting out with.
@TheAntiSpinView Oh and I will take pride by saying we as in battlefields, because if I was alive back then, I'd fight and die for my country, it's in my blood and it's who I am, fearless!
@ScottMcK9 ... any reasonable minded person who reads these comments will see past your thinly veiled bigoted nationalism and your inability to argue without getting upset and blocking when the arguments starts getting inconvenient.
@TheAntiSpinView Aye? Good for them pal, because if you haven't discovered yet, i don't give a FUCK what people think of me!
You think I gave a fuck what people thought what I said stuff in this video?
Life is full of people who either accept you for who you are or they don't, if they don't like me, they can fuck off! That's how I view life. Why make effort to try and get everyone to like you when you can be yourself.
And another thing, I ain't a bad person, but someone questions my pride??
@NothingMusical The only ridiculous fucking idiot here is yourself and him, because you don't understand the simple concept of pride!
There's nothing wrong with pride, the fact you think there is something wrong with being proud of your nation says it all. I have every damn right to be proud of Scotland, whether I have done something or not, i have EVERY damn right to be proud of what Scotland has achieved, not you or anyone could ever change that.
For you to be treated better in a city like London over Glasgow, says to me that you would have to have been really ignorant and arrogant and stuck up to Glaswegian folk in order to succeed in being treated better in a city like London over Glasgow, which speaks for itself.
What you fail to understand is, that is nothing other than the bloody truth. Our people would not be ignorant without reason. Thus when you said you were treated better in London than in Glasgow, something must've went seriously wrong there, which is where I suggested you were no doubt a pure snob.
Glasgow is a city that will be friendly to those who deserve it, who are down to earth who are friendly. If you are an ignorant bastard, you are bound to face the bad side of Glaswegian people. They don't just show ignorance for nothing. That's who our people are.
@NocturnalSlug I think you're too thick to understand that Glaswegian people in general are known for being outspoken and to tolerate nothing, and are all individuals.
You're that one track minded you can't think of more than one way.
how on earth are Glaswegian people genetically the same people as people from London?
hahahahaha complete and utter rubbish we're so much the same people, Glaswegians would happily step off a train if they saw a guy trying to get on a train with a baby in the pram and he would lift the pram up onto the train to help the guy.
London?? hahaha they'd fucking stand there and stare at him not caring, like I said, every man for himself. Try saying we're the same, ayeright
@ScottMcK9 I spent a lot of time in Glasgow over my life due to it being the city I visited on a regular basic, and I have family there, and I can safely say what you're saying about Glaswegians is fucking horseshit. Glasgow is considered one of the most violent cities in the UK, it's the home of some of the most disgusting bigotry I've ever seen, I've been to London to, you know what? Not a fucking problem, just like every other city I've been to, the multiculturism there is great.
@NocturnalSlug There you go and that has you just proven to me why you come here and talk complete and utter fucking shite. The fact you had more trouble in Glasgow than a city like London, when most of Scotland's entire population complain about their experience of being down south, proves my fucking point.
You know what Glasgow hates? because I am Glaswegian, I can answer this, you want to know what Glasgow hates??
Wee fucking snobs from the likes of EDINBURGER. That's what.
@ScottMcK9 You know what's funny? You spent a lot of time during your videos complaining about sectarianism, and rightly so, and this is EXACTLY the same attitude as some extreme sectarianists have. Bigotry towards another group of people, for little reason.
@NocturnalSlug The difference is you stupid fuck wit, am not being sectarian. I have fuck all wrong with English people in general. When some stupid wee fuck wit like you comes along here and tries to tell me, a Glaswegian, that we're the same people as those from an entirely different country, you're a fucking dumb arse!
How the fuck does genetics not prove this? OF COURSE IT DOES, THAT'S WHY WE'RE CALLED SCOTLAND THE BRAVE you fucking idiot!
@NocturnalSlug Am coming off as a border line bigot? For telling you, the person talking complete and utter shite that being Scottish isn't different? really?
So tell me you educated cunt, why are we called Scotland the Brave? Go on.
@ScottMcK9 America is called the land of the free, and God's country, know why? Because some twat made it up. As for Scotland The Brave it's a way to justify all the murders Scotland commited fighting against England. And so that people like you can look for something to be proud of, because you're too lazy to accomplish something youself.
@NocturnalSlug I laugh at this for several reasons. Scotland fought Involuntary for their freedom and you sit there and call that murder? Yet am the fucking plonker? Then you say America is called land of the free, yes we know that, because of Scotland. And no, I'm not lazy in accomplishing anything, there is nothing wrong with being PROUD of your country and people. But you're too stupid you can't even answer that question now can you? Why are we called Scotland the Brave?
@ScottMcK9 America is called land of the free because of Scotland? You're quite delusional. And I just did answer it, and yes it is murder, taking the life of another person is murder, fact.
@NocturnalSlug WHY did the French look up to Scotland for inspiration upon the French Revolution?
WHY is Scotland known as Scotland the Brave?
Come on donkey! since we're apparently the same people as the French, come on donkey! why are we famously known throughout the world as Scotland the Brave? You still haven't answered it, or do you need the answer?
@NocturnalSlug We're called Scotland the Brave and known throughout the world AND RESPECTED throughout the world for being SCOTTISH, when people refer to SCOTTISH, they refer to Brave, tenacious people. Are you trying to tell me that isn't part of our identity as a people? Oh i could go far deeper in explaining why that is, it's because of history that made our people that way. So how the fuck are we the same people? Did you see Scotland wave a surrender flag? no, did you fuck.
@NocturnalSlug because we're individuals you daft cunt. That's why. show me where I've EVER claimed that we're all the same fucking people. show me, you fucking cant.
@ScottMcK9 You just said "we're individuals", this is contradiction as it's strongest, you just said people in Glasgow "don't take shite off cunts like you"
@NocturnalSlug Because I said Glaswegian folk don't take shit off people like you, does that mean to say every Glaswegian is the same type of person? No! it doesn't state that anywhere, so how is that a contradiction? The fact of the matter is, this is a city that does TELL it like it is, it is a city known for taking crap from no one, that's why you don't open your mouth in Glasgow. Does that mean to say that all Glaswegians are the same? No!
@NocturnalSlug EXPLAIN right here and right now, why Scottish people never surrendered. Explain why Scots would fight to the death tooth and nail with no surrender. Explain why England was about to win the war in America, yet when they marched south got slaughtered off the Scots, explain everything to me. I mean after all I know we've proven the world of who us Scots are and is why am proud of being Scottish, am asking you.
I'll be straight out and honest, you said you weren't from Glasgow, surprise surprise pal, most the wee snobs that come from outside Glasgow are practically all fucking snobs that generalise OUR good city and GOOD people down to either Rangers and Celtic, if not, they'll talk about violence. Funny you say that, there's evidence proving Glasgow is a friendly city, so how is that horse shit pal? when it was crowned UK's top city for that very reason.
@NocturnalSlug And no one denied Glasgow had been a violent city, absolutely no one. But to claim Glasgow is less friendly than London? You probably acted like you were better than us, that's why you probably get treated like SHITE in Glasgow.
I know GLASGOW because I was BORN here, and one thing GLASWEGIAN PEOPLE hate, are people who look down on us. Aye! smells like Edinburger pal, the type of city that does look down on us.
@ScottMcK9 I don't get treated like shit in Glasgow but I have come across some nasty incidents, but I didn't get treated like shit in London either, and of course. London is no paradise, neither are, they're both cities, cities are have ups and downs, you're delusional. And btw I'm from Argyll and Bute, not Edinburgh you plonker.
@NocturnalSlug Well it fucking says it all doesn't it? Really just about speaks volumes for itself, you weren't even born in a place like a city and you talk about being treated like shit in Glasgow? ha!! not the first time I met a fellow Scot outside Glasgow who honestly talked down to me as if I was fucking stupid like you done earlier pal!
No wonder they fucking treated YOU like shit pal!
Because once you get to know Glasgow, you'll know we don't take yer shite.
@ScottMcK9 I just said I don't get treated like shit in Glasgow ... seriously you're contradicting yourself all over the place, so much for your views on equality eh?
@NocturnalSlug The fact of the matter is, Glaswegian people and Cockny people are nothing alike and two entirely different set of people. Genetically the same? No we're not, we're the original settlers of this land, they're Anglo Saxons with many other nationalities.
Now show me where I have once claimed to you that Scots are BETTER than all the other nationalities? I haven't. We are not the same people as the English or Cockny people in London.
@ScottMcK9 I'm calling you a bigot because you just sneared at me because you thought, a) that I was insulting Glasgow, which really I'm not, I just pointed out some of it's problems, every city has problems, and b) Because you thought I lived in Edinburgh, out of nowhere and started insulting me and saying that I was a snob, without any evidence for anything, and c) Because you're aquainting yourself automatically with other Glaswegians, and saying how they react, as if they were all the same.
@NocturnalSlug funny, because us Glaswegian people are more or less well known for being who we are, we are bloody unique I'll bloody tell you that. You want a city that tells it like it is, then come to Glasgow, because this is the place whether you like it or not! And am far from any sort of bigot. I will however snear at folk who talk down about our people cause they think they're better than us.
Problem with that though is that I did not once claim that I was better than glaswegians, ... that's the funny part, I don't see Glaswegians as Glaswegians, I see them as people, whch proves you werent even remotely listening earlier
@NocturnalSlug No, that's right, you could only ever rattle off about how Glasgow city is violent and ignore the fact Glasgow's probably arguably the most friendliest city in Britain, that's all. That's right, stereotype Glasgow like every little fuck wit outside Glasgow does. Cause I'll tell you this, I've had that my whole life from folk like you outside Glasgow. And the general view we get, is that we're poor and your rich, thus you think you're better than us.
@ScottMcK9 I never said it was the most violent city in the UK, I'm saying that's a claim, and the sectarianism that goes in there is a mere observation, you need to listen to what I'm saying. I'm not a nationalist fuckwit like yourself, who hates on anybody who criticises their precious city or country, get fucking over it, it's not YOUR city, it's not YOUR country, you just happen to live there.
@NocturnalSlug so in other words, me and every other Scot that's proud to be Scottish, including Robert Burns who was a patriotic Scot, we're all nationalistic fuck wits, fair enough, I'll accept that, at least we have something called pride.
@NocturnalSlug What the fuck are you going on about, there's plenty to identify me being Scottish.
I have dark hair and dark eyes with light coloured skin, dumb fucking cunt.
We ARE the oldest europeans that lived on the planet earth
LESS THAN 2% OF THE WORLDS POPULATION HAS RH NEGATIVE BLOOD TYPE
in other words, we derive from the basques, so yes, I can identify myself as Scottish, because am fucking unique alright deriving from rh Negative blood type, you stupid bastard.
@NocturnalSlug might be based on an assumption, but fuck me it's damn true, the amount of folk like you outside Glasgow that stick their nose up at us and generalise us for being violent. I nod my head at that complete and utter crap. Glasgow is a friendlier city than any City in Scotland.
@NocturnalSlug I'll gladly pride myself in you calling me ignorant, why? Because I speak the truth, I don't hang around and speak bullshit, I speak with honesty. You tell me why Glasgow was crowned UK's top city go research that and you'll see why! because of our people! I dare you to try and compare New York or London to Glaswegians, I dare you! You bloody couldn't. Same people? Me being a nationalist? Nah, it's just me being logical and honest.
You're right mate lol I am proud to be Scottish, I wouldn't see us above PEOPLE, but one thing I can proudly say for my countries people, we're friendly, we're not ignorant as a nation and that is what you call being Scottish.
I challenge you to compare Glaswegian people to London as a prime example :)
@NocturnalSlug Answer that, if we are the same people as the French, why did France look up to Scotland for inspiration?
If we are the same people as the French, how come our people don't know the meaning of surrender? No matter how many people are killed in Scotland. And don't tell me the French were the same people, you're living a lie!
Something smells funny about you @NothingMusical you tell me to not claim something Scottish that isn't Scottish? it was rather irrelevant don't you think? I mean since when have I claimed something Scottish that isn't Scottish?
I agree with your views on royalty. But I have to question two of your statements, first, why are you "proud" to be British? I don't understand how you can take pride in something you had no choice in, do you just mean "glad" to be British? Second, everyone is equal? Can you say with a straight face that say a doctor is equal to a petty rapist? I think it's delusional imo, I do however think everyone deserves a chance, and the same rights, which isn't quite equality.
@NocturnalSlug Being proud of being British mate has nothing to do with the union. Remember, when the Romans invaded we were all British, that's what it means to be proud of being British. We were all Celtic people bud. It wasn't until the Angle Saxon invasion English became something rather different. But when we refer to pride in Britain mate, it's all down to our land and Ancient history, Ancient people, nothing to do with the Union. Continued...
@NocturnalSlug That's why when people talk about British pride, they seem to really only look back 400 years. The British pride did not start during a time of any Union or any time when Scots fought for King Billy. When you see what our people done and fought and died for against the Romans, it's easy to see why. I would say normal individuals are and should be treated equal, but if you're talking rapists and murders, that's a different story bud, they aren't even classed in this.
@ScottMcK9 I get what Britain as a nation has done in the past, although you didn't to mention the British empire, even in modern times, the invasion in Iraq and Afghanistan certainly doesn't provoke any pride in me. My point was more, why do you relate yourself to being "British"? I'm Scottish too, but the only relation I have with you, is that we were both born on the same piece of land, and we're controlled by the same govt. "British", to me is a fairly meaningless term. Continued.
@ScottMcK9 Country borders are put there by the people in control, they're imaginary, when we fought the Germans in WWII, it wasn't the British vs the Germans, it was people vs people, rendering conflict in the name of a country completely pointless, when the Scots fought against the English, were they doing it for the sake of "Scotland"? No, they did it in the name of humanity. You and I had nothing to do with Britain's past, that was all done by other people, they had no relation to us.
@NocturnalSlug You have a point, although I wouldn't agree that our people fought for humanity, in a sense they did but they fought for Scotland alright, there is absolute no question of that. but of course, I respect your view and opinion. I'm proud of being British for the history and every right to be, and very proud of being Scottish and every right to be, just because I never fought or invented those things does not mean to say I can't take pride in what our nation achieved.
@ScottMcK9 I'm not denying your rights lol. I used to be proud of being Scottish a few years back, I used to look at the list of things Scots invented, wank to the saltire flag (not really), then I realised, that this is how wars are started. Put that pride into the mind of a bigot, and what might he do? Kill people simply because they were born on a certain piece of land? Now I'm not saying you're a bigot, you seem like a kind guy, but that viewpoint is dangerous, prove me wrong. Cont.
@NocturnalSlug In my opinion there is a strong difference between national pride and race. As a Scot there's nothing wrong with being proud of heritage, history and heritage, that does not mean to say that it'll create wars. In fact Scotland it's entire history fought involuntary, meaning they did not ask for it. Our nation has already proven world wide we welcome everyone and strong believers of equality. I'll tell you who doesn't though, sectarian supporters in this country.
@ScottMcK9 Yes there is a difference between pride in race and pride in nationality, nationalism has justifications, not much, but still some, due to differences in education, government policies, language, etc. Whereas pride in race has zero justification, there is NO difference between being white and being black. Though, nationalism is still innaccurate, e.g Ireland is a very catholic country, but that doesn't mean some Irishman you met will be catholic, so it's not reliable.
@NocturnalSlug lol well in my view mate as much as I see where you're coming from that nationalism is wrong, I am never one to overlook others and I don't think any proud Scot would. I don't think there's anything wrong with seeing yourself as Scottish and being proud of it. I mean if one tried to claim to me that being Scottish isn't unique, I challenge them to take blood tests and they'll find we're rh Negative, less than 3% of the worlds population. That's unique alright.
@ScottMcK9 I don't understand why you fist pump with a bunch of guys you don't know simply because you have one thing in common. That's where racism comes in, people huddle together simply because they have the same colour of skin, "black power!" or "white power!", all meaningless, and the only thing it does, is give people something to identify themselves with, that and start conflict.
@NocturnalSlug And I wouldn't say national pride and taking pride that our land remained unconquered and free for who we are as people make us racist. There's nothing bad about being proud of our people for achievements of battles fought and won. What would be wrong in my eyes is a people believing they're superior to all others. And if you want truth, in my view, yes our people are unique, but I would never claim to be racist or even think we're 'better'.
@ScottMcK9 Right, and that's good that you would never claim Scots to be better, however some people WOULD. But you never answered my question, what "connects" you to a fellow Scot? What does being "Scottish" even mean? Forget history for a second, and ask yourself, why should we placed in a group (Scots) simply because we were born on a piece of land, that is seperated by "borders" which were made by random people with lots of power? And WHY do you take pride in that? (That's why, not what)
@NocturnalSlug Why see ourselves as being Scottish? because that is part of history and it is who the Romans and Greeks gave us the name and our land the name for being famous for being people who would be hard fought and never surrender. To being a people that fought the Romans for nearly 500 years unconquered and free and fighting the vikings for hundreds unconquered and free. We're a nation and you're damn right we're unique as people, does that mean to say am saying we're better? Not at all.
@ScottMcK9 "we're"? Where exactly do you come in all this?
I feel like stopping this debate because my point doesn't seem to be getting across to you very well. And you still haven't answered some of the questions. So I'll tell you my stance, I don't take pride in being Scottish or British, I'm not ASHAMED of it or anything, the term just has no meaning to me. Heritage doesn't mean anything to me, yeah you could say they're "family", but I say they're just people that I never met. Continued...
@NocturnalSlug You're right, it wouldn't, because you're sitting talking to a VERY PATRIOTIC Scotsman. And damn right I am not a fool for being so. If however I was someone to overlook all other nationalities, then you'd have a debate on your hands, thing is, you haven't.
The Royal family, a group of people made to look higher than society has nothing to do with British or Scottish pride, which is why I question most of what you have came out with.
@ScottMcK9 Naw, royalty is seperate from this, I am working from a single statement, "I'm proud to be British". And of course the equality part, but I just dropped that, I dunno, believing everyone is equal is no unhealthy viewpoint lol. Trust me I appreciate you not overlooking other nationalities, that's great, it's nice to come across a patriot who isn't bigoted. But if you have enough hatred in you, it could end up that way. Anyway I'd appreciate if you'd have a think about it. See ya.
@NocturnalSlug Being proud of being British and Scottish does not even have anything in relation to equality the world over.
You do realise the words from Robert Burns of that song 'Is there for honest poverty' was spoken by a man who said:-
whas (whose) like us, damn few n (and) they're a' (all) deid (dead). A man who said that when he read about the story of william wallace that scottish pride flowed through his veins. And he was a man and true believer of equality. even wrote about Devon.
@NocturnalSlug Being a patriot does not equate to hatred mate, if that was the case then Scotland is filled with vile hatred that hate all other people. I don't think Scotland is like that at all. We live in a very proud nation with very proud people and that's gone past the word fact. yet here's another fact, we have a reputation the whole world over for being one fo the friendliest countries on earth, another prime example to show we're Scottish.
@ScottMcK9 Again, I never said it did equal hatred, but people do have hatred, just people, not necessarily Scots, and combining that with patriotism can be dangerous.
That's called a stereotype mate lol, you're generalising. Guess what? Americans have a worldwide reputation for being ignorant, does that make it "fact"? No, of course it doesn't.
@NocturnalSlug lol I would never say all French or Americans are ignorant or arrogant, and you can call it generalising, but it's within truth, Scotland is a friendlier nation than both of them put together. Does that sound harsh? Maybe it does, but that isn't even opinionated, that's fact. I bet if you ran survey's on it, the worlds population would put Scotland down as one of the friendliest countries on earth, if we were the same, statistics would be the same. In other words...
@NocturnalSlug If Scotland and the Scottish people were the same as the Americans and French, care to explain to me why an American comes here and lives here for 3 years and walks away and says it's the friendliest place he's ever been in his life? Now if we were the same people, why are we a far friendlier country? lol you can call that generalising mate, you and I know that's the truth hahahaha
@ScottMcK9 Er no, a few of my friends visited America, and they said everyone was nice there. So what does that say? A lot of nations hate USA because they have a lot of power. And they're run by corporations, which makes them look worse.
@NocturnalSlug Shows how much you know then doesn't it? Their country is not hated because of power, their country is hated because of power, I even clearly stated this in my videos about Why people hate Americans. And I wouldn't need to know about America, or American people, I know a lot about them and there are a lot of friendly people over there, but are you trying to for one second, claim to me they're the same people as Scots? Now that's the biggest load of shite I've ever read in my life.
@ScottMcK9 Um you apparently typo'd there. Anyhow, these videos about why people hate Americans, mainly consist of you talking Scotland, the confusion about UK, Britian, England and Scotland, and what's what. Apparently you seem to think that's exclusive to America, AND you seem to think it's not understandable ... since ..ehh it is kind of confusing and pointlessly so. Plus why would anyone give a shit?
@NocturnalSlug incorrect, it's actually talking mostly about why people would perhaps hate Americans and nothing to do with power. It's my relation and MY VIEW. That's why Scotland is related in the video, so 2 add 2 =??? bit bloody obvious inti pal, why I'd speak about Scotland? Because it's my relation to the topic.
@NocturnalSlug If we are the same people, then how come in a 580,000 populated Glasgow city will you not find people barging their way on a train to help themselves.
Why do you see this in places like New York or London? And don't give me this population crap son, I was born in Glasgow, what you are trying to claim is that us Glaswegians are the same people as Yankees or those down in London? Where you been mate? Had your head up your arse your entire life? Ever been to New York or London?
@ScottMcK9 I was born and lived in London for years son, used the central line tube (second busiest line) nearly every day and never witnessed this "barging" to which you refer. I now live in Ireland which people also describe as a "friendly" nation and I can tell you that the level of "friendliness" in Dublin and London is virtually the same. The level of rudeness I experienced is also virtually the same. You ramble on about Scottish people not being "better", then that's exactly what you claim
@NothingMusical You need glasses then, in fact you might need more than that if you've never witnessed anything like that in London in your life. Because I even know of a boy from London that kindly puts it
"Every man for himself" that's the attitude of the city itself all in one. Try comparing that to Glasgow and I will simply laugh at that. You couldn't even class Glaswegians as the same people, not even remotely close. And you talk about Ireland? mate, you talk crap
@ScottMcK9 "Every man for himself" is an utter cliche. Of course cities are impersonal, but EVERY city I've been to has been like that, even the city I live in now, Cork, which is a small "friendly" city, it isn't a place where people waltz up to you and say "hi", where everyone looks out for each other. People walk past you like you're not there, same as in London. I like living here, make no mistake, but I'm not going to make bullshit claims about how wonderful the people are.
every city you have been to? Well you have never set foot in GLASGOW then, because unlike Cockny folk, Glaswegians actually go out their way to holding doors open for folk, or helping folk with prams onto the train, or even talking to folk like they've known them for years and actually acknowledge people and are friendly. A city that goes out their way to helping complete strangers. You trying to tell me London is like that? hahahaha NO CHANCE!
@NothingMusical I have never read such bullshit in my life. Seriously! trying to claim that every city is the same, where it's all every man for themselves? Perhaps that's because you lived in London for too long to even begin to understand how IGNORANT London is as a city!
Try telling me that people in Glasgow are the type that'll walk right through you or will ignore you when needing help, the only folk i've ever seen ignored are complete trouble makers (gang fighters).
@NothingMusical Just proves you know nothing about Glasgow city, we might have our bad folk, but Christ does it stand head and shoulders above a city like London for it's good natured people. Because we're not bloody ignorant enough to walk through people, and don't dare tell me bullshit, my own ex girlfriends dad used to go down there all the time for her and couldn't go down one street without swearing every damn minute from folk walking through him like he wasn't even there.
@NothingMusical Trying to lie through your teeth about a city I know very well, no bloody way can anyone sit there and say people of London don't walk through you like you're not there. Just about any Scot that's been to London say the same thing about the city every time, is there any surprise? And claiming London is as friendly as Ireland? I seriously doubt that. Unless of course you were BORN in London and too bitter to accept reality.
@ScottMcK9 I am not going to lie and say that being born in London may not have clouded my view slightly and biased it, but clearly nowhere near to the extent that your view is clouded by bias, patriotism and nationlism. I also specifically compared the city of London to the city of Dublin, not the whole of Ireland. I am not lying through my teeth about anything, London has many problems, I'm pointing out that the specific problem you allege I have not witnessed.
@NothingMusical haha I alleged? I allege? Oh really? How about every Scottish person I have met so far that's been to London has had nothing but trouble from the place from being walked through to being treated like shit?
Don't even dare compare London city to Glasgow. I cringe at you saying that because I KNOW what the city is like. It has it's GOOD people, and many Scots live down there, but NO WAY is it even a touch on how friendly this city is, not even close.
@ScottMcK9 yes, you allege, because for every person you have met that had problems in London, I can point out 10 more that didn't. Sure, my parents had problems in London, they were treated with racism (one of them being black, the other being Irish) in their first local pub, but there were also plenty of good people. My local area was "friendly enough". But I don't buy the "friendly city" shit. And the reason is that every city described as "friendly" either by self or by others...
@NothingMusical You have a point about that, I won't disagree with that matter. But if you were to compare both cities, then it's bloody obvious and I don't even need to argue my case over that. Glasgow's a far friendlier city.
@ScottMcK9 ... has felt almost virtually the same. And sorry, Cork is "famous" for the same thing and yet I rarely ever see it. Sure, I see it sometimes, but I saw it sometimes in London too. There's nothing wrong with liking the city you live and grew up in but I do think your view of it is being clouded by bias.
@NothingMusical The BIG difference between Glasgow and London is the fact that, our people acknowledge one another and go out their way to helping one another. THAT's what Glasgow is famous for, that's why it's famously known as the friendly city. A city that doesn't just ignore you when needing help, a city that would help a complete stranger. And we're talking a large population of Glasgow, not one or two people. Try comparing that to a city of 7 million where most of them wouldn't give a...
@NocturnalSlug Try comparing the people of both New York and London to Glasgow city, go, try claiming they're the same people as Glaswegians.
Because if you do, you'll prove my point exactly. Because in Glasgow, we actually go out our way to helping people and open doors for people and we don't go walking through one another, we actually acknowledge one another.
Your whole argument fell flat on it's arse, because your claim is that us Scottish people are the same as Londoners lol really?
@NocturnalSlug And don't bother talking about stupid wee neds in Glasgow and stereotyping this city pal. You couldn't even compare the people of Glasgow to both London or New York City and population isn't even an excuse either. You ask anyone which is the friendliest city out the 3 of them, then ask anyone if Glaswegian people are the same people as Londoners or Yanks, they'd laugh at you!
@NocturnalSlug One thing you'll learn about me pal, you dare to come here and patronise me, I will let you know the damn truth. Since Scots are all the same as everyone else in humanity, You point out to me why Yanks in New York and Cockney's in London need to learn mannerisms.
Would you see a person helping someone with their baby's pram up onto a train in new York or London? Pfff that's like trying to spot a needle in a hay stack! same people pfffff aye, where you been?
@ScottMcK9 What about the sectarianism in Scotland, you just going to ignore that? People fighting over a stupid game, and religions, which are both the bloody same anyway, not ignorant at all. What about when people in pubs get thrown out in Glasgow simply because they're English? Is that friendly? What about the boy that got bullied in my secondary school, just because he was English, Is that friendly? What about these race driven murders in Glasgow? Friendly? What you're saying is ridiculous.
@NocturnalSlug And no country on the planet earth is perfect, how have I ignored sectarianism? And you are questioning Glasgow as being a friendly city? Are you having a laugh?
Your judgement of Glasgow is based upon the sectarian old firm divide, the neds (youth) in the city and basing judgement on English? You talk crap mate, how do I know this? I see English folk that work in town, a lot of them, and a lot who are in bars and have NO TROUBLE. There goes that right out the bloody window eh?
And believe me, being Glaswegian lived here my whole life, I know a lot more about this city than you ever will. Our people by blood are not the type of people to do anything without reason. They wouldn't just chuck someone out some pub for no reason. Because of an English accent? First time I've ever heard of anything like that in my life, considering I've been in and out so many pubs and clubs where there's never been any trouble with English people. So you're a bare faced liar.
@ScottMcK9 "Our people by blood are not the type of people to do anything without reason." This is just nationalistic garbage and again contradicts your claim earlier on that Scottish people are not "better" by virtue of their being Scottish. And I could call you a bare-faced liar about London, and Londoners which you seem to know absolutely nothing about. Red bodily fluid does not define anything about your character, you either hold the door open or you don't.
@NothingMusical No that's not nationalistic garbage pal, THAT'S GLASGOW CITY and what our PEOPLE are fucking famous for. So it's time you get your facts straight and see WHY Glasgow was crowned UK's top city.
Try claiming to me Glasgow is a place that'll treat you like shit for no reason? Then you've never lived or been to Glasgow in your life and I would know this, I've lived here 26 years!
@NothingMusical and don't try and put words into my mouth about believing a people as better. Did I directly say anything about Scottish people being better than people of planet earth? No I never, but I did however state that we're definitely not the same people as those from London, that's not even opinionated, that's a fact! And try and go against the fact countless Scots have went to London and came back and stated all the same things about the city, I dare you to.
As for history, yes, I understand that's what shaped this country, but it's just chance, just events, some inspiring, some not, and I had nothing to do with it, I'm someone who was born here by mere chance, do I feel lucky? Hell yes. Do I feel proud? No. And there's a difference. You and I are no different from two other people in Sweden, because we're humans, and at the same time, we're all different from eachother, because humans are different, but nationality doesn't play a part in this.
@NocturnalSlug The fact is, genetically we are different and that's a fact. Are you honestly trying to tell me we're genetically the same people as the French? or Swedish? lol I don't think so some how and that's no disrespect or me saying either is better. I mean you're basically trying to say we're the same people as the French? lol I have to laugh at that, because it's so far from the truth it's unbelievable. If we're the same as the French then how come we don't understand the white flag?
@ScottMcK9 And yet you and I are different in certain ways. My point wasn't we're identical, my point was that we're both humans, "us" and the French. You've never met a Scot that is almost the exact opposite of you? So even if we are "genetically" different to a certain degree, that's not really something to rely on.
You're awesome! I %100000000000000000 agree with you. Genius!

A radical shake up of the welfare system seeing £18bn wiped from benefits, the charity fears the number of children living without the basics will rise unless action is taken. Wales has the highest proportion of children living in severe poverty (14%), followed by England with 13%, then Scotland and Northern Ireland which have 9% each. Paid by us the royals live lavishly

@ScottMcK9 you'd be hard pressed to find people in ANY country who don't have at least *some* pride. That's true. I wouldn't disagree with that. The fact that lots of people do something doesn't make it sensible though. Many people believe in a magical cloud man in the sky who listens to you when you put your hands together and say some arbitrary words. It's a silly belief, but many people have it. And they have EVERY RIGHT to. I'm not questioning that, if anything please understand that 1 point

@ScottMcK9 ... what I'm questioning is WHY. I also used to have national pride. I was proud of Ireland, but I stepped back and asked myself why, and I realised I have no more reason to be proud of being Irish than I do to be proud of having black eyes or a beard or 10 fingers. It's just something I was born with by chance. I take pride in my own accomplishments rather than those of others who have an arbitrary connection to me.

Oh yes, that's right, we're ignorant bastards because we're proud of a nation that's achieved a lot.
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
@ScottMcK9 And before you block me out of cowardice and the realisation that the logical terminus of your arguments is an utterly ridiculous one, I would like to say that that's exactly what I mean when I say "take pride in your own achievements". Why should anyone take pride in having RH-negative blood? You had nothing to do with that. You have nothing to do with the patch of land your born on, your skin color, your sex organs... taking pride in any of those things is ridiculous.

@NothingMusical Who the fuck said you need to do something about something in order to be proud of something? So because I never created the songs Robert Burns wrote and because I never done anything for Scotland, am not allowed to be proud of my nation??
Seriously, fuck off!!

@ScottMcK9 you're *allowed* to be proud ffs, I'm just asking WHY. And I think that's what he was asking to, and you can't answer it, because there ISN'T a reason. It's like me being "proud" to have testicles, and being proud of achievements that people with testicles have made. If you'd answered the question then maybe something constructive could've been had rather than this petty exchange of insults. Anyway you're going to block this account too, but that's okay, because...

@TheAntiSpinView Why?? Why??? Because we fought the Romans for 500 years unconquered and free and fought the vikings unconquered and free, became an important nation in history that went on to BUILD the foundations of the modern world. That's why am proud to be Scottish and bloody well right I am.
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
@ScottMcK9 many nations could lay claim to putting down the foundations of the modern world, but it's irrelevant because YOU have nothing to do with the any of those things. You keep saying "we" as though you were there on the battlefields fighting with them. You weren't! It doesn't matter how many times you say it! But feel free to continue taking pride in things you have nothing to do with just because your father ejaculated in your mother on the same patch of soil as those people.

@TheAntiSpinView How the fuck could any nation lay claim to the foundations of the modern world, when they followed off Scotland and learned and read from Scotland's fucking books?

@ScottMcK9 So how did people follow Scotland exactly? You've got me interested, but what exactly did Scotland do that was so significant for the world?
And btw, why have you got a navy blue colour in your Scottish flag in the background?
That's a Tenerife flag, not a Scottish flag.
The Scottish Flag is Pantone Celestial Light Blue colour in the background.

For you to be treated better in a city like London over Glasgow, says to me that you would have to have been really ignorant and arrogant and stuck up to Glaswegian folk in order to succeed in being treated better in a city like London over Glasgow, which speaks for itself.

Glasgow is considered one of the most violent cities in the UK, it's the home of some of the most disgusting bigotry I've ever seen, I've been to London to, you know what?

I'll be straight out and honest, you said you weren't from Glasgow, surprise surprise pal, most the wee snobs that come from outside Glasgow are practically all fucking snobs that generalise OUR good city and GOOD people down to either Rangers and Celtic, if not, they'll talk about violence. Funny you say that, there's evidence proving Glasgow is a friendly city, so how is that horse shit pal? when it was crowned UK's top city for that very reason.
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
@NocturnalSlug And no one denied Glasgow had been a violent city, absolutely no one. But to claim Glasgow is less friendly than London? You probably acted like you were better than us, that's why you probably get treated like SHITE in Glasgow.
I know GLASGOW because I was BORN here, and one thing GLASWEGIAN PEOPLE hate, are people who look down on us. Aye! smells like Edinburger pal, the type of city that does look down on us.

@NocturnalSlug funny, because us Glaswegian people are more or less well known for being who we are, we are bloody unique I'll bloody tell you that. You want a city that tells it like it is, then come to Glasgow, because this is the place whether you like it or not! And am far from any sort of bigot. I will however snear at folk who talk down about our people cause they think they're better than us.

@NocturnalSlug No, that's right, you could only ever rattle off about how Glasgow city is violent and ignore the fact Glasgow's probably arguably the most friendliest city in Britain, that's all. That's right, stereotype Glasgow like every little fuck wit outside Glasgow does. Cause I'll tell you this, I've had that my whole life from folk like you outside Glasgow. And the general view we get, is that we're poor and your rich, thus you think you're better than us.

@ScottMcK9 I never said it was the most violent city in the UK, I'm saying that's a claim, and the sectarianism that goes in there is a mere observation, you need to listen to what I'm saying.

I agree with your views on royalty. But I have to question two of your statements, first, why are you "proud" to be British? I don't understand how you can take pride in something you had no choice in, do you just mean "glad" to be British? Second, everyone is equal? Can you say with a straight face that say a doctor is equal to a petty rapist? I think it's delusional imo, I do however think everyone deserves a chance, and the same rights, which isn't quite equality.
NocturnalSlug 7 months ago
@NocturnalSlug Being proud of being British mate has nothing to do with the union. Remember, when the Romans invaded we were all British, that's what it means to be proud of being British. We were all Celtic people bud. It wasn't until the Angle Saxon invasion English became something rather different. But when we refer to pride in Britain mate, it's all down to our land and Ancient history, Ancient people, nothing to do with the Union. Continued...
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
@NocturnalSlug That's why when people talk about British pride, they seem to really only look back 400 years. The British pride did not start during a time of any Union or any time when Scots fought for King Billy. When you see what our people done and fought and died for against the Romans, it's easy to see why. I would say normal individuals are and should be treated equal, but if you're talking rapists and murders, that's a different story bud, they aren't even classed in this.
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
@ScottMcK9 I get what Britain as a nation has done in the past, although you didn't to mention the British empire, even in modern times, the invasion in Iraq and Afghanistan certainly doesn't provoke any pride in me. My point was more, why do you relate yourself to being "British"? I'm Scottish too, but the only relation I have with you, is that we were both born on the same piece of land, and we're controlled by the same govt. "British", to me is a fairly meaningless term. Continued.

@ScottMcK9 Country borders are put there by the people in control, they're imaginary, when we fought the Germans in WWII, it wasn't the British vs the Germans, it was people vs people, rendering conflict in the name of a country completely pointless, when the Scots fought against the English, were they doing it for the sake of "Scotland"? No, they did it in the name of humanity. You and I had nothing to do with Britain's past, that was all done by other people, they had no relation to us.
NocturnalSlug 7 months ago
@NocturnalSlug You have a point, although I wouldn't agree that our people fought for humanity, in a sense they did but they fought for Scotland alright, there is absolute no question of that. but of course, I respect your view and opinion. I'm proud of being British for the history and every right to be, and very proud of being Scottish and every right to be, just because I never fought or invented those things does not mean to say I can't take pride in what our nation achieved.
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
@ScottMcK9 I'm not denying your rights lol. I used to be proud of being Scottish a few years back, I used to look at the list of things Scots invented, wank to the saltire flag (not really), then I realised, that this is how wars are started. Put that pride into the mind of a bigot, and what might he do? Kill people simply because they were born on a certain piece of land? Now I'm not saying you're a bigot, you seem like a kind guy, but that viewpoint is dangerous, prove me wrong. Cont.
NocturnalSlug 7 months ago
@NocturnalSlug In my opinion there is a strong difference between national pride and race. As a Scot there's nothing wrong with being proud of heritage, history and heritage, that does not mean to say that it'll create wars. In fact Scotland it's entire history fought involuntary, meaning they did not ask for it. Our nation has already proven world wide we welcome everyone and strong believers of equality. I'll tell you who doesn't though, sectarian supporters in this country.
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
@ScottMcK9 Yes there is a difference between pride in race and pride in nationality, nationalism has justifications, not much, but still some, due to differences in education, government policies, language, etc. Whereas pride in race has zero justification, there is NO difference between being white and being black. Though, nationalism is still innaccurate, e.g Ireland is a very catholic country, but that doesn't mean some Irishman you met will be catholic, so it's not reliable.
NocturnalSlug 7 months ago
@NocturnalSlug lol well in my view mate as much as I see where you're coming from that nationalism is wrong, I am never one to overlook others and I don't think any proud Scot would. I don't think there's anything wrong with seeing yourself as Scottish and being proud of it. I mean if one tried to claim to me that being Scottish isn't unique, I challenge them to take blood tests and they'll find we're rh Negative, less than 3% of the worlds population. That's unique alright.

@ScottMcK9 I don't understand why you fist pump with a bunch of guys you don't know simply because you have one thing in common. That's where racism comes in, people huddle together simply because they have the same colour of skin, "black power!" or "white power!", all meaningless, and the only thing it does, is give people something to identify themselves with, that and start conflict.
NocturnalSlug 7 months ago
@NocturnalSlug And I wouldn't say national pride and taking pride that our land remained unconquered and free for who we are as people make us racist. There's nothing bad about being proud of our people for achievements of battles fought and won. What would be wrong in my eyes is a people believing they're superior to all others. And if you want truth, in my view, yes our people are unique, but I would never claim to be racist or even think we're 'better'.
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
@ScottMcK9 Right, and that's good that you would never claim Scots to be better, however some people WOULD. But you never answered my question, what "connects" you to a fellow Scot? What does being "Scottish" even mean? Forget history for a second, and ask yourself, why should we placed in a group (Scots) simply because we were born on a piece of land, that is seperated by "borders" which were made by random people with lots of power? And WHY do you take pride in that? (That's why, not what)
NocturnalSlug 7 months ago
@NocturnalSlug Why see ourselves as being Scottish? because that is part of history and it is who the Romans and Greeks gave us the name and our land the name for being famous for being people who would be hard fought and never surrender. To being a people that fought the Romans for nearly 500 years unconquered and free and fighting the vikings for hundreds unconquered and free. We're a nation and you're damn right we're unique as people, does that mean to say am saying we're better? Not at all.
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
@ScottMcK9 "we're"? Where exactly do you come in all this?
I feel like stopping this debate because my point doesn't seem to be getting across to you very well. And you still haven't answered some of the questions. So I'll tell you my stance, I don't take pride in being Scottish or British, I'm not ASHAMED of it or anything, the term just has no meaning to me. Heritage doesn't mean anything to me, yeah you could say they're "family", but I say they're just people that I never met. Continued...
NocturnalSlug 7 months ago
@NocturnalSlug You're right, it wouldn't, because you're sitting talking to a VERY PATRIOTIC Scotsman. And damn right I am not a fool for being so. If however I was someone to overlook all other nationalities, then you'd have a debate on your hands, thing is, you haven't.
The Royal family, a group of people made to look higher than society has nothing to do with British or Scottish pride, which is why I question most of what you have came out with.
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
@ScottMcK9 Naw, royalty is seperate from this, I am working from a single statement, "I'm proud to be British". And of course the equality part, but I just dropped that, I dunno, believing everyone is equal is no unhealthy viewpoint lol. Trust me I appreciate you not overlooking other nationalities, that's great, it's nice to come across a patriot who isn't bigoted. But if you have enough hatred in you, it could end up that way. Anyway I'd appreciate if you'd have a think about it. See ya.

@NocturnalSlug Being proud of being British and Scottish does not even have anything in relation to equality the world over.
You do realise the words from Robert Burns of that song 'Is there for honest poverty' was spoken by a man who said:-
whas (whose) like us, damn few n (and) they're a' (all) deid (dead). A man who said that when he read about the story of william wallace that scottish pride flowed through his veins. And he was a man and true believer of equality. even wrote about Devon.

@ScottMcK9 Again, I never said it did equal hatred, but people do have hatred, just people, not necessarily Scots, and combining that with patriotism can be dangerous.
That's called a stereotype mate lol, you're generalising. Guess what? Americans have a worldwide reputation for being ignorant, does that make it "fact"? No, of course it doesn't.
NocturnalSlug 7 months ago
@NocturnalSlug lol I would never say all French or Americans are ignorant or arrogant, and you can call it generalising, but it's within truth, Scotland is a friendlier nation than both of them put together. Does that sound harsh? Maybe it does, but that isn't even opinionated, that's fact. I bet if you ran survey's on it, the worlds population would put Scotland down as one of the friendliest countries on earth, if we were the same, statistics would be the same. In other words...
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
@NocturnalSlug If Scotland and the Scottish people were the same as the Americans and French, care to explain to me why an American comes here and lives here for 3 years and walks away and says it's the friendliest place he's ever been in his life? Now if we were the same people, why are we a far friendlier country? lol you can call that generalising mate, you and I know that's the truth hahahaha

@ScottMcK9 Er no, a few of my friends visited America, and they said everyone was nice there. So what does that say? A lot of nations hate USA because they have a lot of power. And they're run by corporations, which makes them look worse.
NocturnalSlug 7 months ago
@NocturnalSlug Shows how much you know then doesn't it? Their country is not hated because of power, their country is hated because of power, I even clearly stated this in my videos about Why people hate Americans. And I wouldn't need to know about America, or American people, I know a lot about them and there are a lot of friendly people over there, but are you trying to for one second, claim to me they're the same people as Scots? Now that's the biggest load of shite I've ever read in my life.
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
@ScottMcK9 Um you apparently typo'd there. Anyhow, these videos about why people hate Americans, mainly consist of you talking Scotland, the confusion about UK, Britian, England and Scotland, and what's what. Apparently you seem to think that's exclusive to America, AND you seem to think it's not understandable ... since ..ehh it is kind of confusing and pointlessly so. Plus why would anyone give a shit?
NocturnalSlug 7 months ago
@NocturnalSlug incorrect, it's actually talking mostly about why people would perhaps hate Americans and nothing to do with power. It's my relation and MY VIEW. That's why Scotland is related in the video, so 2 add 2 =??? bit bloody obvious inti pal, why I'd speak about Scotland? Because it's my relation to the topic.

@ScottMcK9 That's not in title though is it? And I never said anything about "power".

@NocturnalSlug If we are the same people, then how come in a 580,000 populated Glasgow city will you not find people barging their way on a train to help themselves.
Why do you see this in places like New York or London? And don't give me this population crap son, I was born in Glasgow, what you are trying to claim is that us Glaswegians are the same people as Yankees or those down in London? Where you been mate? Had your head up your arse your entire life? Ever been to New York or London?
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
@ScottMcK9 I was born and lived in London for years son, used the central line tube (second busiest line) nearly every day and never witnessed this "barging" to which you refer. I now live in Ireland which people also describe as a "friendly" nation and I can tell you that the level of "friendliness" in Dublin and London is virtually the same. The level of rudeness I experienced is also virtually the same. You ramble on about Scottish people not being "better", then that's exactly what you claim
NothingMusical 7 months ago
@NothingMusical You need glasses then, in fact you might need more than that if you've never witnessed anything like that in London in your life. Because I even know of a boy from London that kindly puts it
"Every man for himself" that's the attitude of the city itself all in one. Try comparing that to Glasgow and I will simply laugh at that. You couldn't even class Glaswegians as the same people, not even remotely close. And you talk about Ireland? mate, you talk crap
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
@ScottMcK9 "Every man for himself" is an utter cliche. Of course cities are impersonal, but EVERY city I've been to has been like that, even the city I live in now, Cork, which is a small "friendly" city, it isn't a place where people waltz up to you and say "hi", where everyone looks out for each other. People walk past you like you're not there, same as in London. I like living here, make no mistake, but I'm not going to make bullshit claims about how wonderful the people are.
NothingMusical 7 months ago
@NothingMusical RUBBISH!
every city you have been to? Well you have never set foot in GLASGOW then, because unlike Cockny folk, Glaswegians actually go out their way to holding doors open for folk, or helping folk with prams onto the train, or even talking to folk like they've known them for years and actually acknowledge people and are friendly. A city that goes out their way to helping complete strangers. You trying to tell me London is like that? hahahaha NO CHANCE!
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
@NothingMusical I have never read such bullshit in my life. Seriously! trying to claim that every city is the same, where it's all every man for themselves? Perhaps that's because you lived in London for too long to even begin to understand how IGNORANT London is as a city!
Try telling me that people in Glasgow are the type that'll walk right through you or will ignore you when needing help, the only folk i've ever seen ignored are complete trouble makers (gang fighters).
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
@NothingMusical Just proves you know nothing about Glasgow city, we might have our bad folk, but Christ does it stand head and shoulders above a city like London for it's good natured people. Because we're not bloody ignorant enough to walk through people, and don't dare tell me bullshit, my own ex girlfriends dad used to go down there all the time for her and couldn't go down one street without swearing every damn minute from folk walking through him like he wasn't even there.
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
@NothingMusical Trying to lie through your teeth about a city I know very well, no bloody way can anyone sit there and say people of London don't walk through you like you're not there. Just about any Scot that's been to London say the same thing about the city every time, is there any surprise? And claiming London is as friendly as Ireland? I seriously doubt that. Unless of course you were BORN in London and too bitter to accept reality.
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
@ScottMcK9 I am not going to lie and say that being born in London may not have clouded my view slightly and biased it, but clearly nowhere near to the extent that your view is clouded by bias, patriotism and nationlism. I also specifically compared the city of London to the city of Dublin, not the whole of Ireland. I am not lying through my teeth about anything, London has many problems, I'm pointing out that the specific problem you allege I have not witnessed.
NothingMusical 7 months ago
@NothingMusical haha I alleged? I allege? Oh really? How about every Scottish person I have met so far that's been to London has had nothing but trouble from the place from being walked through to being treated like shit?
Don't even dare compare London city to Glasgow. I cringe at you saying that because I KNOW what the city is like. It has it's GOOD people, and many Scots live down there, but NO WAY is it even a touch on how friendly this city is, not even close.
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
@ScottMcK9 yes, you allege, because for every person you have met that had problems in London, I can point out 10 more that didn't. Sure, my parents had problems in London, they were treated with racism (one of them being black, the other being Irish) in their first local pub, but there were also plenty of good people. My local area was "friendly enough". But I don't buy the "friendly city" shit. And the reason is that every city described as "friendly" either by self or by others...
NothingMusical 7 months ago
@NothingMusical You have a point about that, I won't disagree with that matter. But if you were to compare both cities, then it's bloody obvious and I don't even need to argue my case over that. Glasgow's a far friendlier city.
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
@ScottMcK9 ... has felt almost virtually the same. And sorry, Cork is "famous" for the same thing and yet I rarely ever see it. Sure, I see it sometimes, but I saw it sometimes in London too. There's nothing wrong with liking the city you live and grew up in but I do think your view of it is being clouded by bias.
NothingMusical 7 months ago
@NothingMusical There is no bias in what I state, it's nothing other than the truth.
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
@NothingMusical The BIG difference between Glasgow and London is the fact that, our people acknowledge one another and go out their way to helping one another. THAT's what Glasgow is famous for, that's why it's famously known as the friendly city. A city that doesn't just ignore you when needing help, a city that would help a complete stranger. And we're talking a large population of Glasgow, not one or two people. Try comparing that to a city of 7 million where most of them wouldn't give a...
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
@NocturnalSlug Try comparing the people of both New York and London to Glasgow city, go, try claiming they're the same people as Glaswegians.
Because if you do, you'll prove my point exactly. Because in Glasgow, we actually go out our way to helping people and open doors for people and we don't go walking through one another, we actually acknowledge one another.
Your whole argument fell flat on it's arse, because your claim is that us Scottish people are the same as Londoners lol really?
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
@NocturnalSlug And don't bother talking about stupid wee neds in Glasgow and stereotyping this city pal. You couldn't even compare the people of Glasgow to both London or New York City and population isn't even an excuse either. You ask anyone which is the friendliest city out the 3 of them, then ask anyone if Glaswegian people are the same people as Londoners or Yanks, they'd laugh at you!
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
@NocturnalSlug One thing you'll learn about me pal, you dare to come here and patronise me, I will let you know the damn truth. Since Scots are all the same as everyone else in humanity, You point out to me why Yanks in New York and Cockney's in London need to learn mannerisms.
Would you see a person helping someone with their baby's pram up onto a train in new York or London? Pfff that's like trying to spot a needle in a hay stack! same people pfffff aye, where you been?
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
@ScottMcK9 What about the sectarianism in Scotland, you just going to ignore that? People fighting over a stupid game, and religions, which are both the bloody same anyway, not ignorant at all. What about when people in pubs get thrown out in Glasgow simply because they're English? Is that friendly? What about the boy that got bullied in my secondary school, just because he was English, Is that friendly? What about these race driven murders in Glasgow? Friendly? What you're saying is ridiculous.
NocturnalSlug 7 months ago
@NocturnalSlug And no country on the planet earth is perfect, how have I ignored sectarianism? And you are questioning Glasgow as being a friendly city? Are you having a laugh?
Your judgement of Glasgow is based upon the sectarian old firm divide, the neds (youth) in the city and basing judgement on English? You talk crap mate, how do I know this? I see English folk that work in town, a lot of them, and a lot who are in bars and have NO TROUBLE. There goes that right out the bloody window eh?
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
And believe me, being Glaswegian lived here my whole life, I know a lot more about this city than you ever will. Our people by blood are not the type of people to do anything without reason. They wouldn't just chuck someone out some pub for no reason. Because of an English accent? First time I've ever heard of anything like that in my life, considering I've been in and out so many pubs and clubs where there's never been any trouble with English people. So you're a bare faced liar.
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
@ScottMcK9 "Our people by blood are not the type of people to do anything without reason." This is just nationalistic garbage and again contradicts your claim earlier on that Scottish people are not "better" by virtue of their being Scottish. And I could call you a bare-faced liar about London, and Londoners which you seem to know absolutely nothing about. Red bodily fluid does not define anything about your character, you either hold the door open or you don't.
NothingMusical 7 months ago
@NothingMusical No that's not nationalistic garbage pal, THAT'S GLASGOW CITY and what our PEOPLE are fucking famous for. So it's time you get your facts straight and see WHY Glasgow was crowned UK's top city.
Try claiming to me Glasgow is a place that'll treat you like shit for no reason? Then you've never lived or been to Glasgow in your life and I would know this, I've lived here 26 years!
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
@NothingMusical and don't try and put words into my mouth about believing a people as better. Did I directly say anything about Scottish people being better than people of planet earth? No I never, but I did however state that we're definitely not the same people as those from London, that's not even opinionated, that's a fact! And try and go against the fact countless Scots have went to London and came back and stated all the same things about the city, I dare you to.
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
As for history, yes, I understand that's what shaped this country, but it's just chance, just events, some inspiring, some not, and I had nothing to do with it, I'm someone who was born here by mere chance, do I feel lucky? Hell yes. Do I feel proud? No. And there's a difference. You and I are no different from two other people in Sweden, because we're humans, and at the same time, we're all different from eachother, because humans are different, but nationality doesn't play a part in this.
NocturnalSlug 7 months ago
@NocturnalSlug The fact is, genetically we are different and that's a fact. Are you honestly trying to tell me we're genetically the same people as the French? or Swedish? lol I don't think so some how and that's no disrespect or me saying either is better. I mean you're basically trying to say we're the same people as the French? lol I have to laugh at that, because it's so far from the truth it's unbelievable. If we're the same as the French then how come we don't understand the white flag?
ScottMcK9 7 months ago
@ScottMcK9 And yet you and I are different in certain ways. My point wasn't we're identical, my point was that we're both humans, "us" and the French. You've never met a Scot that is almost the exact opposite of you? So even if we are "genetically" different to a certain degree, that's not really something to rely on.
