educational tool not a website to propogate slander, lies and political bias (I believe your New York Times fulfils that purpose). I would bet my mortgage payments that this individual has never even been to Scotland prefering to get all of his information from the internet. If he had visited Scotland and did some research he would have found that;  "Secular Marriage" (sic) was introduced in the 1930s and is called a Registry Office marriage performed by a city or county official (you have them in the US), Same sex unions have been legal here for less time than most parts of the US (we're unfortunately following an American trend), Gay adoption (affects a few dozen adoptions annualy but again another American trend), Teaching homosexuality in Schools is NOT allowed but books with a homosexual character are now not banned, Affirmative action is not allowed for anyone (Asians, Homosexuals, the Disabled, Afro-Caribeans etc, etc) as it contravenes EU law, The state 'forces' religous schools (which are incidentally tax funded, public schools for Catholic only) to employ not only Catholics but Protestants, Aethiests, Hindus, 7th Day Adventists etc, their is no 'protection for paedophiles' (the link he uses is 4 years old and in fact states how early release for sex offenders was scrapped) and that the banning of 'anti gay chants at sports events' has indeed been banned along with incitement to murder, upport for terrorism and a host of other unsavoury chants that have no place at a sports event. Finally, the paragraph about the Dunblane Massacre was utterly shameful. For the record it was the Scottish general public who advocated stricter gun control. Scottish people despise guns, have never had a gun culture, rarely see a gun (except when they go on vacation to other European countries or the US) and would be apalled at the thought of loosening gun control. The Police don't even have guns here. To claim that rapes 'skyrocketed' as a consequence of the post-Dunblane gun control is an OUT AND OUT LIE. You probably claim to be a Christian too. --[[User:ScotsPatriot|ScotsPatriot]] 16:26, 8 March 2008 (EST)
