I fully understand the question as I did the previous dozen times you asked it. I'm now understanding that you're not gonna get it yourself so let's do it together and i'll help you out. - You don't have to be born in Britain to be British, but rather the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland or other overseas qualifying terrorities - The U.K consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. - I have stated many of times that I am from Northern Ireland. Would you like to have a wee guess Mindy?
When the figureheads for Scotland are Fatty Salmond and that wife beating baldy **** Connery, pride in being Scottish is eroded. Add to that the rampant anti English xenophobia, the tribal ****e, the glorious losers tag, the tartan army, Fife, Lorraine Kelly, daily record, Clyde 1 superscoreboard, Ewan Cameron and any shop that sells 'see you jimmy' hats then its clear that its difficult to find much to be proud of.
Hard to explain to people who don't feel the same way, or maybe you do feel the same way but are simply playing Devil's Advocate? There are many reasons for my pride, prime among them is our contribution to the world in the fields of Science, Engineering, Medicine and Literature to mention a few. It was Scots pioneers who helped build Canada, Australia and The US. Some of the most famous names in World history were Scots, for a small country we've exported many benefits around the world.
Name me a country in the world who does not have a dick running it? Salmond is hardly an exception or your "Typical" Scot so i'd rule him out of any equation. As for the rest of our many faults, , same goes for most countries around the globe, some are better than us and some far far worse, i'll bet the North Koreans are proud of their nationality. It doesn't mean they are right to be proud, but pride cannot be forced into an individual.
