:The pattern is made; all that is needed is detail. As to the "societal problems" section, this should be included only if it is confirmed that it is nation-wide. If such is restricted to conditions in certain cities or regions, then they should be removed from here and placed in the relevent articles. [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 19:39, 9 March 2008 (EDT)

::Scotland does indeed have its problems regarding alcohol, sex and substance abuse but then so do many parts of the world. Scotland has given the world many writers, soldiers (including John Paul Jones incidentally), statesmen, explorers, inventors, scientists and engineers as well as the Presbyterian religion. A significant percentage of your own Founding Fathers had Scots or Ulster Scots ancestry. Scotland has sacrificed many of its own sons and daughters fighting fascism in the second world war and currently are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. Scots also played a disproportionately large role in the British Imperial adventure that shaped the world to this day. Scotland ,as a subject for this project, could provide many fascinating articles and avenues of learning but the only essay about Scotland on Conservapedia devotes about 10% of its article on the dysfunctional behaviour of some of our youths. Its like having an article about the US and its rich history, culture and place in the world but setting aside a tenth of it to label its inhabitants drunks, drug addicts or worse. That would be grotesquely unfair as is the whole 'Societal Problems' section. --[[User:ScotsPatriot|ScotsPatriot]] 15:15, 10 March 2008 (EDT)

:::Look at it this way: if you find that you can use any of the "societal problems" section for this article, then go for it. Perhaps, say on the religion subtopic, there could be the line regarding the reduction of church attendance. But I have no problem with removing the "societal problems" section alltogether.
