Comments on: "Scots Wha Hae" an Unofficial National Anthem http://ScottishJerk.com/167/scots-wha-hae/ Unique insight into Scots and Scottish People & Culture Wed, 14 Sep 2011 23:08:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: The Lairdhttp://ScottishJerk.com/167/scots-wha-hae/comment-page-1/#comment-9 The Laird Wed, 02 Jun 2010 22:17:34 +0000 http://scottishjerk.com/?p=167#comment-9 KrisYou obviously like to make as many assumptions as you think I am doing. You tell me I don't have the accent that may be true to some extent but I was born in Scotland (Johnston Street, Annan Dumfrieshire) I left when still only a youngster when my parents moved for job reasons and returned to my home country of Scotland just over five years ago. We don't as yet have a Scottish passport to prove Scottishness but I do hold a UK passport and will apply for a Scottish passport if we achieve independence. I believe that it would be good for the nation.By suggesting all Scots have a skin and hair colour similarity suggests you have not been to Scotland very much yourself but also shows you have spent the time learning all the old racist stereotypes.Did you think we all have red ginger hair just like those "hey Jimmie tartan bonnets" sold in all the souvenir shops? Did you know we have moved on from walking along Union Street (the main street in Aberdeen) waving claymores above our heads?Incidentally did you know that Union Street Aberdeen was named after the Act of Union with England so we may have to change that as well :-)Ron Kris

You dont have the accent, you dont have the passport, your totally unfamiliar with everyday life there. On top of that your notion that 'Scottish' DNA imparts some sort of advantage is moronically childish because other than your skin and maybe hair colour Scottish people are just people like any other people. I'l make it real simple for you...They are no more or less brave, funny, proud, noble than any other nationality.Get on with your life and stop trying to compensate for your own shortcomings by trying to use the nationalistic cliches of another country to prop up your clearly stunted sense of identity I once knew a young Norwegian women studying at Aberdeen university who against her better judgement visited a castle with a group of american students.
