Fed up rant

[UberTong]

I routinely have to check myself to see if I'm just being paranoid and over the top. It sucks when I realize that my concerns are grounded in reality. It's amazing how things have gone to hell and are only getting worse.

Thanks chevy, at least I'm not crazy I guess.

If you read history about the Irish and Scottish, They too were enslaved, for far longer than American slavery. Especially the Irish. Throw that back into their face next time. They tend to shut right up.

I just use the whole 'watch Braveheart', that's what my family had to endure. Local lord: Congrats on the wedding, but as is the right we British lords have over you Scots I will now sleep with your new bride.
I think also if American History shows, the Irish, Scottish, and other immigrants from Europe were stoned, beaten, assaulted, mistreated and denied jobs when they first got here... look at us today though! We're not killing each other in record numbers, and 1/4 of us aren't in some form of corrections process (current or past).

Damn right. And some of this country's greatest leaders are from Scottish or Irish descent.
I am of mostly Scottish descent. My last name is a major city in Scotland. Oppression is nothing new. Our ancestors just chose to better themselves, rather than wallow in self pity for shit that happened a very long time ago.

Fortunately it never happened. The very idea of an Englishman having to sleep with someone from Scotchland, virgin or not...

It's SCOTLAND, please spell it right. And there is no proof of Prima Nocte either happening or not. I wouldn't put it past the Brits though.

That's what I said, Scotchland

And it's primae noctis, please spell it right

Sorry, I'm a little out of practice when it comes to Latin.

No problem. I did study it in high school, but I only know enough to get by. You know, buy a paper, order a coffee, ask where the station or the American embassy is.
