Gaun yersel' sweltered!!!!!!!!!!

[Bobbie En Tejas]

If people of scottish heritage in the US can't claim their scottishness, then people in Scotland can't call themselves celtic or claim a viking heritage or be called white settlers. Where they came from is part of the makeup that makes people who they are and the culmination of the things that have been passed down through the generations. People don't come to america and just give up who they are. And maybe there is something in the genes that holds people to our identity. A chihuahua acts like a chihuahua no matter where in the world it lives.

A chihuahua acts like a chihuahua no matter where in the world it lives.

I like that Bobbie, do you mind if I use it in a paper for school?

[Bobbie En Tejas]

Sure, don't mind at all.

You have two television sets- both made in Japan. each identical in make etc. Both can lay claim to a common Japanese heritage. However for example -if one goes to America and the other Cuba- differences will begin to emerge. Electrical voltage- Language - Time scales- Capitalist agenda- Communist agenda. In other words we change to our own external conditions. and by this I mean in a qualitative manner- so much so that the original concept of heritage becomes blurred and eventually lost in the process of time. You see yourself as a person of Scottish heritance. I see you as a fully paid up member of the American Citizenry, with an American Accent, an American Mum- an American Dad - American Grandparents -American Kids - who drive American cars - who eat American food and will live and die in America under, American soil. Surely you can include some tenuous claim of American heritage by now?. I am a Celt.

I am a Celt.

I thought you were a Scot? Or have you abandoned all Scots other than those of Celtic lineage? or has the wind just changed again.

[Bobbie En Tejas]

I am a Celt.

You are not Celt at all if I am nothing but American. The Celts started a lot further east than you and travelled west, dropped your parents off and continued west.

And no, I drive a Korean car and have alien kids..... I'm sure of it.

And what is American food? I eat spareribs and saurkraut, and sushi and enchaladas and pad thai and.. but wait.. oh yes, and those thick, juicy, humongous steaks I mentioned on the other thread

Maybe its not the wind, John... maybe its the wind up.

Aye jeest like an Englishman. Doesn't care what culture it sh$ts on in the world

You'll notice that the one sent to England has a louder volume but on the positive side it won't sh$t in your garden

Mind you to their credit the tv and the dog are not so arrogant and would probably try to blend in with the surroundings.
