::: I deleted it because as I've said before I will not see my country being unfairly run down in print. Lets look at the moral decline of the United States. The birthplace of political correctness, gay liberation, legalised abortion, crystal meth and crack cocaine, the home of the worlds largest sex industry, an unfettered organised crime "industry" etc, etc. And yet when you look up the entry on the United States you see none of this mentioned. I doubt any of the contributors to these scurrilous entries has even been to Scotland. Well I live here (so I should know) and the inferences drawn are melodramatic and unwarranted. There are 1800 Scottish soldiers fighting in Afghanistan right now, most of them fresh from Iraq. Is this an appropriate way to treat allies? Is this what you really think of us? Charming. Oh, the migration stuff I deleted was nonsense from start to finish. I studied Scottish history in university and Presbyterians fleeing Scotland (a wholly Presbyterian country at that time!) because of religous persecution is laughably wrong. And incidentaly, most of the great figures of the Scottish Enlightenment were resolutely Protestant and Presbyterian. Please read some half decent history books (big papery things popular before the internet) rather than reading something from the internet you half understand then propogating lies and distortions on this page. Scotland does have its problems but then so does the rest of the developed world. --[[User:ScotsPatriot|ScotsPatriot]] 15:30, 2 March 2008 (EST)
