USA invasion of Scotland

[Bajoran Rogue]

Please invade us. We have oil.

[Ross Hendrie]

Well there would be good points and bad point regarding this. Good ones such as we wont be under the oppressive, arrogant English anymore. Bad however... wed be Yank citizens... no NHS... etc etc So im afraid:

*Forms guerilla force to fight the American invaders.*

[Max Yittreas]

That hurts, Rogue. Just for that, you guys are staying under UK rule!

[Bajoran Rogue]

Acording to wikipedia there has to be a reason for an invasion, though gaining land in Europe so you could join, and take control of the EU could be a better one.

[Danny Stewart]

Have I missed something? Or perhaps multiple things?

[Max Yittreas]

Meh... I was gonna start my own country and invade the US first.

[Danny Stewart]

That doesn't really answer my question.

[Chris Britton]

And i am hurt becuase Ross says the Uk opress the Scots, i hold a lot fo respect for Scotland and i would like to se it one day,

[Danny Stewart]

Ross tends to judge many based on few. Not an admirable trait, but that's what we have to deal with.

[Chris Britton]

Agreed there. It is a shame, because one day i would like to live in the USA, because down in Yate, things are hard here, I do like it, but i would rather get away and make a new start. although i make a note of going to Scotland and seeing Ross before hand. it is a beautful place.

[Danny Stewart]

It is absolutely beautiful. And with a name like Stewart, I'm obviously of some Scottish descent.

[Ross Hendrie]

It is. And Danny? Based on the few... let's go over a few history examples. In the 1700s English removed the king from power simply because he was of Scottish nationality. In 1745, a rebellion led by his son was crushed with completely dis-proportionate force and following the final battle, genocide was carried out by the english troops on the highland nation. In the years following many harmless things such as Tartan and Bagpipes were banned by the English and also our clan system was ruthlessly dissolved by them also.
Let's see... what else, ah yes. During the First World War the English sent the Scottish troops in first against the enemy, basically used as cannon fodder.
If this doesnt convince you...

[Danny Stewart]

Convince me of what?

The fact that you're thinking im going off making half baked assumptions.

[Danny Stewart]

That was not a complete/coherent thought. Please reread your sentence. But if you mean what I think you mean, then you've done it an awful lot, and to be honest I've never seen you not do it when referring to another culture (especially America), so what else am I supposed to think?

[Ross Hendrie]

Outrageous. You're saying im prejudging the English? Does it look as if I am?

[Danny Stewart]

No, quite the opposite. You're prejudging everyone except the English.

[Chris Britton]

But he has mentioned how the English oppressed the Scots, Ross I know back then the British Empire did cover 25% of the world. but it still hurts me that you decided to take a pop at the Country i was born in? Am i opresant? Do i come over and ban everything? because not everyone is like that. i respect you and the Scottish, And not everyone is like how you mention things.

[Ross Hendrie]

Im not emplying your like that Chris, in fact I never said anything of the sort. Danny however, seems to be under the impression that I prejudge everyone. So who have I bashed except from the US and the English then Danny? Who do you mean by 'everyone else.'

[Danny Stewart]

Look, Ross, I don't really care, but the US bashing has to stop, since a good chunk of members on here are from the US. I'm not going to be dealing with this at all, and this is your absolute final warning.
