Though it's all in good nature, after all, we Scots have our own inequities.<br /><br />"Only thing is.. I personally don't view it as them having taken the land from the British in the first place so much as having taken it from the Romans. From everything I've read it seems rather plain that the British at the time of the first Saxon settlers still seemed to think of themselves as Roman.. I seem to remember there even being some evidence that the Romans were the ones responsible for Hiring the Saxon mercenaries in the first place.."<br /><br />Like the Aedui and other Gallic tribes, most of the Britons in Britannia survived by making a deal with the Roman Devil. Given Rome's knack for making their culture so awesome that they almost hypnotically encourage new allies to adopt their lifestyle, it's no wonder that the Romano-Britains were like mini-Romans. They're an insidious bunch, those Romans.<br /><br />"Wow, you have a god of war too! That's amazing! We have one too - except he's called Mars. Hey, maybe Mars and your guy are the same dude! I know, that's so weird - turns out the Greeks do to, except they call him Poseidon. That'd mean... we worship the same guy! Awesome! We're already so alike, we should start dressing alike - you wanna try out some togas? I think you'd look GREAT with our haircuts!"<br /><br />"I've never had anything but good dealings with Scots however.. even if you'll pardon me saying it.. replacing the statue of the proper William Wallace with the visage of Mel Gibson was a bit of a chump move. So please tell me they got rid of that naff Mel Gibson statue and put the real one back?"<br /><br />Sadly, that monstrosity is still there. Most ironic of all: people are so ticked off, that it's been decapitated a few times. So they respond by putting a cage around it at night. A cage. Around the famous freedom fighter. Oy.<br /><br />Hopefully some enterprising filmmaker will make a decent Wallace biography and we'll have an excuse to get rid of Mad Max.Taranaichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02176999342965850175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177193073415704349.post-24884166422095129232010-02-26T02:30:32.179+00:002010-02-26T02:30:32.179+00:00well I'm allowed to make fun of both the Engli...well I'm allowed to make fun of both the English and the Welsh since I am in fact Both..

I seem to remember there even being some evidence that the Romans were the ones responsible for Hiring the Saxon mercenaries in the first place.. Even if the Mythology lays it all at the feet of Vortigern. <br /><br />I have nothing but disdain for the Roman of old.. having never met a modern one.. ( and who's to say they wouldn't be a lombard ) I can't comment on current situations. <br /><br />I've never had anything but good dealings with Scots however.. even if you'll pardon me saying it.. replacing the statue of the proper William Wallace with the visage of Mel Gibson was a bit of a chump move.

Considering that they've had Normans and then Welshmen telling them what to do for the last thousand years anyway.. <br /><br /> I think though personally that most of these sorts of people aren't so much against an individual person, but against the individual persons Culture.. they simply lack the brain cells to articulate that properly. They aren't against the Poles per say.. so long as the Poles dress in tweed, smoke a pipe and hrumph a lot while drinking tea.. Dressing in ladies undergarments is as always, optional. That was sort of the understanding I got while I was there last anyway.. Granted that was half a decade ago so things could have changed.Lagomorph Rexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06385231158384929598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177193073415704349.post-68941212940145891802010-02-26T01:51:24.215+00:002010-02-26T01:51:24.215+00:00"Looks like whatever you responded to got pul..."Looks like whatever you responded to got pulled down already."<br /><br />Blimey, looks like you're right. Perhaps some other Howard-head with bigger clout than me found out. Good riddance to bad rubbish: I'll amend the article to talk about exactly what transpired.<br /><br />"people have a perpetually difficult time putting things in context. Its like people who say ' All old movies suck '.. simply because they grew up on bang and flash and CGI.. and everything that dosen't have them is no good by default."<br /><br />You have that right.<br /><br />"However, your admission of Disliking Modern Urban Black Culture, would probably cause the very people who you are trying to defend Howard from.. to accuse you of being a racist yourself, despite your assertions to the contrary."<br /><br />No doubt they would, even if I said I hated the BNP's agenda with the fire of a thousand suns. "Keep Britain for the British"? If you do that, you'd have to kick out the Danes, Gaels and Anglo-Saxons - which seem to make up the majority of BNP members in the first place. Britain was forged on migrations of foreigners, and there's no reason it should stop now. What's funny is most of the people the BNP are against - Poles, Indians, Pakistanis - are white themselves. Bizarre, xenophobic nutters.<br /><br />The aspects of "Urban black subculture" I dislike are the exact same ones I hate in Urban White subculture: rampant misogyny, anti-literacy, anti-intellectualism, a misplaced sense of entitlement, thuggishness masquerading as pseudo-masculinity. Indeed, the only difference between the two is there's more leeway the former out of misplaced white guilt.<br /><br />Then again, I shouldn't feel like I need to explain myself to people who might accuse me of racism. People who explain how they have black friends and family members always come off like those people who say things like "I'm not a racist BUT..." and go off on a racial tangent. It's like having to explain why you're not a terrorist or a xenophobe. "Most of my friends are non-terrorists!"Taranaichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02176999342965850175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177193073415704349.post-1592395031678985442010-02-26T00:29:56.452+00:002010-02-26T00:29:56.452+00:00people have a perpetually difficult time putting t...people have a perpetually difficult time putting things in context.
