I am aware of that anomaly but have never really gotten into it to understand it. Really strange, eh?
Oops! You wouldn't be calling me english now, would you now, Jonny? You blimmin' wetbacks are always getting it wrong! lol. I'd love to blame the english for that type of attitude, but we Scots have an embarrassing legacy too. It was one of my countrymen who founded the KKK, sadly. There will always be bigots in every country, it's just that it was the last thing I expected to find in 'the land of the free'. Quite a shock, actually. And oddly enough, not one of the contributors came from Florida! Mostly the eastern seaboard. And proud to be racist too. Huge shock to the system, I can assure you. I have to admit that I went on the attack, using wha I thought to be a reasoned argument. Blow me! Next thing I knew they were coming out of the woodwork having a go at me, mainly because I suggested that freedom of speech was not supposed to be a breding ground for barefaced racism. They made it perfectly clear that they were happy to take our money, but other than that, didn't want to know us. I'd love to say that it was just a few, but I can't. Very educational, but a lesson I'd rather have missed. Final footnote on South Africa: the english may well have introduced the apartheid setup, but they were not the first in history to do so. I also note that the US warmly embraced the apartheid movement in the deep south. The brits would never have tolerated this in their own backyard.
Definitley not, I much prefer the English!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just kidding, of course. I will leave that issue to our Irish friends to address. I am sure they know their story better than I do. So the Scots have always been happy being ruled by the English then....?
They say if we don't learn from history we will only repeat it. This is nonsense as I refused to attend class when we done Oliver Cromwell and he never came back I was devastated
You'd better hope I never learn how to put those music sites on here I'll have you all plagued with Tom T Hall and Hank Snow
