Why back to the shadows Khraeigh?
I am semi retired.
It gives me more time to work towards my aim.
Independence for Scotland.

some people certainly are fooled by the cult of celebrity. just look at the papers in the last few days with the sickening weeping and wailing over george best, thousands of better men die everyday. sad day for his family and my thoughts are with them, cant understand the mass public grief myself though.

I'd rather have 1 doctor than 100 actors but Connery is a spokesman for Scotland. He is proud of his Scottishness. He does not hide it. He has raised the profile of this country more than anyone else in the last century.
Connery is an Irish name, are you maybe a bit peeved that he doesn't overtly support IR?

Mr Connery has many opinions on Scotland, which he doesn't publicise as it will detract from his main point, Independence.

No-one is saying he is right, likewise no-one is saying your right. Is this why you are arguing against him, because we don't agree wth you?
I seen you complain on Aontach about trueblue, however on this thread you have agreed with him.
I also suspect you are him due to your sem-literate posting style. There is no capitalisation in your post or his, and in both there is spelling errors and a lack of punctuation.
Just a theory I have in my head.

there's more than just trublues posts that worry me on here.
there would be little point arguing with people i agreed with now would there.
dont really care what connery has to say on the issue of irish independent to be honest, some millionaire sitting in his plush home somehwere is far removed from the realities of real life.
also i apologise if i dont spend hours agonising over punctuation and spelling on here but i think i get my point across most of the time regardless. me and trueblue having the same ip address would also give it away were that the case

It takes no longer to ensure it is readable. It would also give you more credibility if you could type.

People can have "floating" IP's.

no i find it distastefull that one person can have so much, while so many in the world have so little. its 2005 and people in the world still die of starvation.
well it obviously is readable otherwise people wouldnt be able to respond to the points i make.
trust me i have better things to do than to conduct arguments with myself on an internet website.
had a thought there though whist i was away getting a drink. picked up the can of irn bru and i thought, should i give great priority to this cans opinions on scottish independence? lets face it the cans raised the profile of scotland.

My wealth is not on Par with Sean's however I am considered wealthy.
Do you find that distasteful considering I worked like a hog since 16?
I give 50% of my income to charity. I suppose this makes it empty?
I know for a fact Sean gives to charity, but hey, lets not let minor details get into the way of "distaste."
| parkhead_rfb wrote: | well it obviously is readable otherwise people wouldnt be able to respond to the points i make.

Readable, yes. It also shows a lack of intelligence.
You wouldn't expect a teacher to take you seriously if you gave in an essay with no grammer, spelling or punctuation would you? Why should anyone else take you seriously?

It certainly looks like it.

well i have a higher in english and a bachelors degree in social sciences so my grammar and spelling cant be too bad when i want it to be.
personally i feel that if your income is high enough you shouldnt have to give money to charity as you would be taxed to a high enough level to properly fund services therefore charity wouldnt be needed in the first place.
you also state that a lack of punctuation, grammar etc shows a lack of intelligence. i suggest that this claim shows ignorance on your part as these things would suggest a lack of education in this area rather than intelligence. remember punctuation etc is socially constructed and therefore can be socially biased much in the same way iq tests can be.

OK, so what about the case where you, even now, those with high earnings pay a significant proportion of tax. You can stay in Scotland and less than 10% of your tax will spent here. Or you can move to a tax haven, and with the savings spend a higher amount on charitable causes in your native land than would otherwise have been spent there. I find that logical. Again, Connery has said that when 100% of tax revenue is spent by the Scottish parliament, he will move back.
I agree that all charity should be state funded as well. Until that point, a lot of charities rely on wealthy benefactors. |

Cheers.
I was in a meeting with the town council in Irvine today to try and get the Main street sorted, too many accidents occur there.
Would it surprise you that in the Irvine council, even though SNP presence is lacking, nationalism is rife.
I never knew that about Irvine council.

So punctaution, religion, football etc all go against you.
Wee bit paranoid, no?
You are taught punctuation from an early age at school.

So your into Socialism then?
Personally like a meritocracy myself, it means people work towards their goals and try and better themselves.

Well, they say that 40% of Labour voters support independence. I'm not sure how that extends to Labour councillors. In Edinburgh one of the Labour councillors just defected to the SNP. I'm sure there are many more out there. It's just a shame they let their party leaders mis-represent them. |
