== Scotland and Cultural Controversies==

    

    

I'm sorry but I'm Scottish and I had to delete the entire section labled "Scotland and Cultural Controversies". I will not stand idly by and see my country being run down in print. Some of the points made were out and out lies. Protection for paedophiles? Utter nonsense. Repeating Pat Robertsons claims that Scotland is a "dark country full of homosexuals" is plain wrong and a touch hypocritical coming from an American. To the author of this piece - have you ever been to Scotland? Some facts first; political correctness is an American invention; gay liberation is an American invention; the sexual "revolution" was an American invention. People who live in glasshouses shouldn't throw stones. And I do not think that this is a widely held conservative opinion, certainly not by Trent Lott, John Warner and Wayne Allard (all Republicans and proud of their Scottish heritage). And what is this obsession with homosexuality? Scotland has 2000 years of recorded history, was at the forefront of the industrial revolution, has given the world many writers, philosophers, soldiers, statesmen, scientists, engineers as well as the Presbyterian religon but the Conservapedia devotes about 10% of its article on Scotland on supposed support for the "homosexual agenda". I can tell you from a position of authority (I do live here) that the inference is melodramatic and overstated. Scotland is UNDOUBTEDLY less homosexual than most of the U.S (eg N.Y, L.A, San Fran) . Oh, and a kilt is definetely not a skirt. Just ask some of the Scottish troops fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan and see the response you get.
