France to decree state of emergency, shut borders

[cadaverdog]

First rule of fight club, never ask a Scottish person that question. Ever. It's our favorite...

Did you mention the tape?

[Seshmeister]

Oh, and golf. The rich white man's game (rooted in racism, of course).

And the KKK!

Did you have curling in there?

[Kristy]

...did Scotland invent the BCE?

Speaking of which:

FORD will indeed apologize in writing and unconditionally for making mockery of this forum with his Nazism censorship and random YouTube postings. He will then immediately implement a 30 day self banishment period in order to think about what he's done.

That's just the initial list of the main ones...

Curling was invented in medieval Scotland, with the first written reference to a contest using stones on ice coming from the records of Paisley Abbey, Renfrewshire, in February 1541.

This site has just about the least censorship on the interweb.

Nonetheless, I checked the data base only this morning, and there doesn't seem to be any record of a written apology and self banishment.

Meanwhile, back in France:

"The National Assembly, the lower house of France’s parliament, voted overwhelmingly Thursday to approve a three-month extension of the state of emergency declared by French President François Hollande in the wake of the November 13 Paris terror attacks.

The legislation enables warrantless searches and seizures, the detention of individuals without an indictment, and bans on demonstrations and protests, and suspends freedom of association.

The bill authorizes the placing under house arrest, and tracking with a location device, of “any person with respect to whom there are serious reasons to believe that his behavior is a threat to safety and public order.” Notably, there is no reference to terrorism anywhere in the bill. All of its provisions are couched in the language of preserving “public order,” meaning that any organization suspected by the police forces to be opposed to their interests, including political parties and workers’ organizations, may be targeted for warrantless state repression."


Coming to an American city near you!

Doubling down on the terrorist win...

The proclaimers
Cunts playing bagpipes in pubs.
Rain ... scotsmen invented rain. They must have.
Tartan.

Off the top of my head.

[Seshmeister]

Don't get me started...

Dying of old age at 52
Religious sectarianism about nothing
Putting a matchstick between two blades in a boxcutter for better face scarring in a fight
Getting beat by shitty teams at football

Hey now, I like the old Esprit tartan interiors.

We have our annual edingbro trip with the what used to be the lads but its now the veterans. We went in to the sports bar last year near the train station and some daft twat came over and asked were we the crew meeting for a fight.
It was like yeah its 1975 .... fucking freaks.

[Seshmeister]

I think technically speaking the Scots didn't invent tartan(or plaid I think you call it), kilts or bagpipes in the same way that the TV invention is a bit of stretch since although it was first it was shit and replaced by something that worked better.

The telephone one is a bit suspect as well when you look too much into it but Scottish people did for a while achieve way above what we should have population because of having the best education system going 150-300 years ago or so.

Plus it's dark,cold and raining outside and there's not much sex going due to repressive guilty versions of the jewish zombie cult religion - do you go to the beach or invent a new type of steam engine...?

Really?

I'm surprised at that but sports bars in Scotland are shitty.

To be fair I don't know why you would go to a sports bar in Edinburgh that's like going to McDonalds in Paris...
