Part of the deal (Sadly) is Scotland is still attached to the Monarchy, a monarchy getting less loves with each passing year. For "Queen and Country" is an old fashioned thing. Many in the UK HATE the Monarchy.
I do.
How do I subscribe to a thread so I get email notification? lol

Scottish people are similar to the Irish, warm, loving, helpful, tight with money, and like a drink. lol
What is this you speak of? How is this Independance initiative working out?
And don't you need guns for that when it comes to leaving the Queen?
You never see a gunman bent killing a bunch of people run into a police station........you know why? Because he knows hell be killed before he ever gets a chance..........because THEY have guns..........think about that.....

Question for me Scottish friend.
Do you guys have an immigration issue in Scotland or have you guys remained predominantly purebred over the last hundred years?
I am off Irish decent, so me personally have no issue with immigration.
We are an open and welcoming race off people. It annoys some, but in the main, it is not an issue.
Everyone in America (well most) is like me, from another ancestry.
I was born and raised in Scotland, but have Irish blood in me when the English killed Southern Ireland.
This is a BIG issue in Scotland, especially the west to this day.
What were you getting at?
Thanks
Shaun

Don't the people of America realise how dislikes the Queen and her mob are?
Really, give it 10 years, there may be no monarchy at all. Really
Point is, since you guys in Scotland don't have to put up with extreme multi and mixed cultures, you are probably much more civil than the rest of the world,
...well at least until the start of football/soccer season.

What I was getting at is perhaps violence stems from an exposure to a multicultural environment. Example, when the the hot head gene gets mixed with a less dominant gene.
You are Scottish/Irish, not too extreme and not much of a difference between those two cultures if you ask me.
In most other countries, immigration issues are much more extreme due to the cultures that are forced to live side by side with each other. This leads to impatience and intolorance, which eventually leads to boling blood.

How? What are you and/or anyone in England or the UK going to do?
Do you see where I'm going with this? I'm really not trying to prove a point though.. I am curious if there are serious works towards your sovereignty.
The UK has done a great job banning ANY weapons for defense of the state. So although you do have them... When it comes to fighting the queen... You have nothing... so again I ask... What ARE you going to do? seriously... What's going on?

Not going to happen, The Queens approval rating hit an all time high of 90% in 2012 and as for Scottish Independence I think you will remain part of the UK, The Scots do not have anything to gain by going fully independant, I agree more power to the Scots namely increased borrowing powers, corporation tax, excise duties and control over the Crown Estate but to leave the UK? good luck getting your fellow Scots to agree, I have not met a Scot who would vote Yes.
I think the only way Salmond would get the yes vote is if he said it would get the Scots outa Europe (If you do leave the UK you may have to apply again to the EU).

From your same source! Or did you not read far enough?
On November 11, 1938, the Minister of the Interior, Wilhelm Frick, passed Regulations Against Jews' Possession of Weapons. This regulation effectively deprived all Jews of the right to possess firearms or other weapons.

:shk: You are spreading a myth my friend. Hitler never supported disarming his own people or having stricter gun control, in fact they loosened their gun laws.
en.wikipedia.org...
The Nazis were not only superior fighters, they were also great propagandist, and went out of their way to deceive the Jews1. As the Jews were forced to board cramped cattle cars they were lead to believe they were being relocated to better living conditions. Thousands of Jews undressed and entered the gas chambers believing they were entering showers or disinfectant rooms.
The secret couldn't be kept forever and in the later years word of the genocide started getting around. "Rumors" began to spread that the trains were actually "relocating" people to their death, and that the work in "work camps" consisted of exterminating people and disposing of their bodies.
At this point armed and organized resistance didnt seem plausible. The remaining Jews were weak, dispersed, confined, unarmed and facing the experienced Nazi war-machine. They feared any attempt at organized resistance would be ineffective, and worse, it would only bring a stronger backlash, enraging the Nazis and causing them to kill, torture and maim even more Jews. (Which is what always happened after failed uprising attempts).
