Taking care about some Stones (as you say) doesn´t mean that I can´t take care about something else, too.
Agreed?

braincell · Post by **braincell** » Fri Jul 14, 2006 6:53 am

Agreed but it just isn't high on my list of endangered things to save. History isn't going anywhere because these stones have been so well measured, documented and replicated.

Hello there you people! I would love to have more time to spend here, but I cannot much at the moment.

Scope4life: I’m glad you found the thread about rutting useful, unfortunately I could never spend the time it was needed to finish it with the help of some of you here, well, perhaps in the future.

Hello Chris and Miguel: Well, what I mean is that there are issues to resolve that are of vital importance to people in the UK before the Stonehenge. For instance, they could cover some better health and care for the elder in Scotland, particularly in Glasgow. All this money is a ridiculous amount to be used on it if you think on the circumstances of quite a few poor people in Scotland.

I have read some books and played attention to history behind Stonehenge, no doubt that if there is an overabundance of revenue in the UK one day, they could use it to fix the place, nevertheless, it is a business in itself as it makes great profits being a main touristy attraction, but as long as there are people suffering for lack of assistance and quality attention, no way, the stones can wait, people can’t.

For your information Nestor, the Glasgow as we know it here in Scotland has been primarily created by the British government in a series of ill-founded 'schemes', just like most other major cities in the UK... IE, Scotland didn't create the Glasgow we know, because of English (British) interference & mostly their unappreciated rule over Scotland's wealth & treasures.

That must be true as there aren't any Scots in the British Parliament are there. :rolleyes:

Erm, I'm really not into having words about the stolen soveriegnty of Scotland Mr.A, mainly because my blood isn't pure, making me not a true Scot in bloodline terms. If I was a true Scot I'd be mighty pissed about being part of the British 'Empire'. Theiving, murdering liars that run that shananigan.

so presumably an empire run by scots would be the very epitomy of sweetness and light ?

No, but Scotland's economy would be more than twice as strong had it been completely independant since the beginning of the Industrial revolution according to economic analysts.

Mr Arkadin · Post by **Mr Arkadin** » Mon Jul 17, 2006 6:23 am

Likewise i don't want to get into a war of words as i like Schroomz. i will say just two things though:

1. When was the last time any economic analyst knew anything? - they've yet to predict any of the market crashes that have happened over the last couple of hundred years.

2. i would be more than happy to have an independent Scotland and give a fat payoff - as long as you take back Blair, Brown et all. Ta.

Fair enough Mr A.

Here's a good question:- Which 'british' country pumps 10's of thousands of Barrels of Oil from it's offshore goldmine every day, then pays unbelievable amounts of taxes on it to the Brit government?

Here's another one:- Which country was used as a testing ground for the British governments' highly controvershal Poll Tax which ended up causing nationwide riots?

And another classic from recent years:- Did you know that the British government started re-integrating 'special' schools in Scotland back into mainstream schools to save money? This one is truly absurd, as were talking about profoundly mentally & physically disabled children being put back into 'normal' schools where they won't get the same care (plus a whole lot of other problems the scheme would cause) so that the often prime & central real estate could be sold & money saved on education bugdets. Scotland again was the testbed for this ill thought out scheme. It was so dire an idea in the name of costcutting north of the border that a stop was put to it before it was even implemented in all of Scotland. Unfortunetly many Schools for 'special' children were actually closed & sold in Scotland before the absurd plan was halted.

Unfortunately, it's clearly stated in the history books that Scotland was sold out to the English by it's own leaders in exchange for backhanders in the form of fancy english estates. Clearly at the time though, nobody had a clue about the goldmine of oil & the far reaching implications of their actions.

i didn't want to bring that up in case you thought i was flaming. Sadly human nature (of any nationailty) still seems to be look after number one and sod the rest of yous.

The only thing i would remind you of is that it is a British (not English) government that does all this shit and there are many high profile Scots in the British government who seem happy to use Scotland as testing ground - otherwise they'd do something about it. At least you've got a Scottish Parliament - where's the English one?

Shroomz~> · Post by **Shroomz~>** » Mon Jul 17, 2006 10:20 am

A Scottish Parliament that takes orders from & answers to South of the border.

Mr Arkadin · Post by **Mr Arkadin** » Mon Jul 17, 2006 10:25 am

All the 'important' Scots are south of the border aren't they?

Shroomz~> · Post by **Shroomz~>** » Mon Jul 17, 2006 10:30 am

If you say so

The most important Scot was named Toto and he never lived anywhere near the border:

England has 36.000 charities to cover alsmot every aspect of life when somebody is in need... look at Scotland charities... No doubt, Engladh had extracted Scoland's blood for many, many, many years... to inject it to itself.

I agree with David Coulthard (Formula One Driver) and his comments about being Scots (as reported often by the press):

"When I win, I'm British but when I lose I'm Scottish"

Can't be easy being a Scot.

So, Schroomz - where abouts are you from 'cos I might drop in and buy you an Ardbeg 17 (glass, not bottle) ?
