Very informative.

Try having a revolution and declare your freedom. Second try's often work plus they have weakened up alot since the last time. Afterall our worked well enough and weve never been better.

I'm Scotish and I enjoy being part of the UK. I think Britain as a whole as a more interessting history that Scotland has ever had.

it would be 3rd try, well if it was a mass revolution...

Che Guevara was better. But not by much.

better than who? Wallace?

f*ck england

I went to a Higland Festival in Endinboro, Pennsylvania, and the only memory I have from that trip is a man in a kilt threatening to belt his son in the rear.

England's always sucking up all the glory. And the money. And the girls.

Though my family is 8th generation American, I will be happy to join your revolutionary Scots army cell. Free Scotland!

the English arent that bad....

who, Im not trying to cause hate toward the english, simmer down

us Scots will rise again

i liked that, revolution is always nice.

The British do suck...but why would you have to delete the YTMND?

I can't read it. It goes by too fast.

oh yeah: DOWN WITH THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT! NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION! TEA TASTES BAD! REMEMBER THE ALAMO!

well I have to be supporting the UK if i go army

Scotland would be fine as an independent state until the oil runs out, then it'd be economically f*cked, because the Tories and New Labour have more or less killed off the last of the manufacturing industry in the UK. Sorry dude.

Have you ever seen Trainspotting? Scotland is awesome.

"Che Guevara" - poet-torturing wanker.

Shaun sucks boy ass. =(

scotland > england. you have my support

lol, Trainspotting shows are better herion taking underaged sexed side of us

Fine. Detach yourself from the nation if you want. You don't want you haggas munchers anyway. lol

free scotland! 5'd cus its for my native land

yeah without oil, scotland can hardly run off of solar power, but we have plenty of wind!

5 simply for politics.

< scottish

Very informative. Godspeed, PeersShaun, during your Tour(s) of Duty.

Interesting use of grammar and spelling.

A scot here too. You should also mention Parliment merging all our regiments into one large regiment to destroy their individual backgrounds and reputations.

Free Scotland.

Alba Gu Bragh! Whatever that means!

Nicely done.

Im English and i just wish the Scottish and the English would just get along. It seems some scots just want to cause trouble. As for "f*ck england", you are a retard RicoCaaitdhaz.

i would 1 this, but i dont feel like it

Waahh, I don't want to be part of the UK, Waahhhhh! Suck it up pussy.

Scotland forever.

Free Sean Connery!

Personally, You're a dick. The United Kingdom rules.

stupid haggis muncher. fall in line

*applaud*

this is the first non-funny ytmnd i've enjoyed...partially because I have Scottish heritage. Maybe you should add a list of Scottish heroes/celebrities, a la William Wallace, Sean Connery, and Groundskeeper Willie to heighten the prestige of that great northern land we call Scoot-lend!

My ancestors are all from Scotland on both sides of my family. Long live Scotland and our beloved Scotish Soccer Holigans!

informative

who cares?

Lol @ Wales.

FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOOOOMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thaEdderz comment made my day, a 5 for thou

Bah. You had your chances for independence (BraveHeart) and lost. Besides, any country that wears skirts shouldnt have independence.

lol owned

Even though I'm English, I support Scottish independence (and Welsh and Cornish independence) 100%. The Union should be dissolved once and for all. England's stranglehold on the native cultures of these islands should be ended, just as it was for other cultures all over the world when the British Empire ended.

you could just move to america and help fight off the mass hords of illegal immigrants

swb3105:... que? surely the Scots 'd be immigrants too? ;)

Scotland rules!

P.S. Would you like a scone?

When you do pledge, in your mind just think that you are swearing allegiance to 'Queen' the rock band. Loophole.

there are more scottish people in ameica than in scotland. FACT.

they wouldnt be illegal immigrants, but it would be ironic to have immigrants fight people trying to immigrate or emmigrate i dont know

Sean Connery is part of the Scottish Independence Party or something along those lines.

Revolution = auto +5 but minus 1 for "higlands"

Have off his head! :P

I say the Queen should knight you to shut you up for a while and then send the Royal Marines to take back the rest of the empire. That way tea will be cheap and because you're going army you'll be a peace keeper sitting on your *ss in the middle of nowhere, that or getting drunk in Austrailia.

The main Q is, do you hate Americans? Because your european, that's probibily a yes.

You said "UK, also known as Great Britain". The UK is not Great Britain. Great Britain is not a political term, it is a geographical term for the islan which Includes England, Scotland, and Wales.

Informative Indeed.

For Connery!

i've always hated brits, and always loved connery

FRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDOOOMMMMMMMM

The SNP don't half talk sh*te!

obviously RicoCaaitdhaz (YTMND's newest douchebag) didn't watch the entire thing.

Scotland could REALLY piss off the UK by agreeing to become the 51st state. Then I could visit the ancestral homeland without a pesky passport.

lol porridge wogs. who needs them anyways

join the IRA

england out of ireland!!! (ok, scotland too)

+1 for being slightly interesting.

God Damned English. Join the Irish Republican Army.

who the f*ck cares? we have real countries to worry about, and real languages other than gaylick to speak with.

If Scotland was "one of the richest countries in the world" because of their oil, but wasn't part of the U.K. they'd be taken over in, oh, about a week.

Everyone please remember that Sean Connery is a scot; when you insult Scotland, you're not the man now, dog. Also, 5'd since I'm related to William Wallace and counteract downvoters.

Nobody hates the English more than the Scots...except maybe the Irish...or the Aussies...or India

Don't join their army, move your *ss over to Ireland and join the IRA, at least you're actually doing something for your independence there.

so you are trying to say that scotland is a country that would be rich from oil and speak strangely unless it wasnt for England? Sounds like a new Norway to me ^^

5 informative

I give my fellow Scot a +5 for my 89% heritage!

I've always hated British people. Anglophobia all the way.

About that time eh chaps?

A Union of the Celtic Countries is whats needed. And Ill be there to fight for Independance!

Best of luck. :O

whoa, comments overflow since last time i was on, few note, Yes I fail English... Connery said he wont return to scotland till its free, no i wont join the IRA, I didnt know UK and GB were diff, Higlander ftw! Im joining the Army due to lack of cash and good job ops btw im gonna be a VM in the REME to those who care or know, Im half irish and know of one family member in the IRA, I cba fixing my sucking use of english

Brothers and sisters always fight... just like Scots and Englishmen... and Scots and Irishmen... and Scots and other Scots! DAMN SCOTS! They ruined Scotland!

Im not pro violence to the English as Scots will have seen in the papers, fair enough there was a 2 on 2 fight but 14 scots dragged one englishman from his car who was disabled and they beat him into hospital, thats just sick

or was it 12? ca mind, sick none the less

1 for not knowing the difference between the UK and Great Britain. Also, glaring spelling mistakes.

You should add that Sean Connery is a supporter for Scottish Independance. That will earn you many 5's.

I f7's/spell checked everything, but im also to lazy to care to change anything now

The Un-funny Truth about the UK.

One question. Will this YTMND HAVE to be deleted, since you "swear allegience" to England? Or is this willingly deleted?

well to keep my word yes... its kinda anti UK is it no?

Up the Scots, mate. I'm from Illinois and even I can agree with this. It's informa-tastic!

SCOTLAND!

its not likly that Mi5 or Mi6 or whoever deals with that sh*t will break down my door... I hope

lol, Gaelic

I cant speak a word or Gaelic :(, wish it was like wales where it is taught in schools... the spelling errors give it a real feel do they not? so its obvious i didnt jusy copy/paste

Scotland is gay.

I wish I had a huge penis.

yeah, I should have really, I like the welsh, I use to live in england at college and i really connected with a few welsh guys... not in a gay way :|

"You didn't mention that Wales still uses their Gaelic. I speak Cymraeg...." Its not Gaelic, Welsh, Cornish and Gaelic are classed as Brentonian languages, the languages that were the original Languages of Great Britain.

Ppphhtt, don't join the English army, join the USMC.

Support PeersShaun, and buy Lord Connery's new book!: http://www.cbc.ca/story/arts/national/2006/07/05/connery-book.html

throw in some jokes or else honestly this crap doesn't belong on ytmnd

yes, its all comming together well, soon I will be ready to march on London and take the Throne back!

Tempestwal: hate to nitpick, but Gaelic (Scottish or Irish) is not Brythonic, it's Goedelic. But both Goedelic and Brythonic are Celtic language families and as such are closely related.

my spelling is one big joke

Sorry not Brentonian, but Brythonic.

My tears are welling. "RAGGH SHOW THE BRITISH YOUR COCKS"

Crap, They are described as Brentonian, as in the original languages of Great Britain, I didnt mean Brythonic or Goedelic originating in Gaul.

should take a poll to rename to "UK, The Unfunny Truth"

Best of luck in the Army Dude, (I've done 8 years!) This is a "straight from the horses mouth" forum for soldiers, have a look around: http://www.arrse.co.uk/index.htm

cheers, I dont want any REME stand for Royal Engineers made Easy jokes...My step dad is a royal engineer and the army life loks cool as f*ck just gotta swallow my pride

T-wal: All Celtic languages came from Gaul/the continent, they replaced the *original* native languages of britain at the beginning of the bronze age...

So, do you favor a Republic, or a monarchy with Sean Connery as your king?

My country, Quebec, also is in the same situation, with Canada, and we still are, "officially" under the rule of the queen. In Quebec we speak french, and our langage survives. We lost a separation referendum at 51% against 49% like 8 years ago.

monarchy, if the monarchy actually does somthing... I think i have some Robert the Bruce in me blood my gran once said

I went to Quebec once. Montreal. Everything closed at like 6. I had heard it was a party town, but it sucked ass.

You should make one for Quebec now.

Scotland had a vote of indiependence in 1997 i think, and we voted in favour, but the English said not enough people voted

I have family in Scotland and a strong Scottish ancestry, an independent Scotland would be great. Thanks for the nice ytmnd

I think scotland is Englands test subject, we lost smoking and fox hunting first

Because the Scottish Parliament voted for it!

is it not odd that we have a national football/rugby ect team, but not an Olympic team

1 for copping out at the end and joining the english army. you've got to be kidding me.

i agree, down with England and their big noses and teeth.

Devolution in Scotland over the last few years has given you the Scottish Parliment, all of which has created more power for Scotland. It also means that the citizens of Scotland have more say than the English. As you can change English power and authority but English citizens cant change anything which goes up there. I'm English btw and correct me if I'm wrong on anything.

erm, Scotland has Europes worst Dental health record, or the UKS one or the other still bad

Also, Quebec's independence, dammit! An cuimhin leat an gra. Cra croi an ghra. Nil anois ach ceol na h-oiche. Taim siorai i ngra. Leannain le smal. Leannain le smal. Lig leis agus beidh leat. Lig leis agus beidh gra. ;) Vive le Quebec Libre!!!!

That953rdguy, true enough Holyrood has given us more power, but most of it can be overurled by the English such as them thinking about detroying our education system and legal system, not sure about how much say the English people get with the goverment down in london but I assume it is less as they have more to deal with

I appreciate this, but I ahve one thing to say: BLOODY NORTHERNERS!

God save our gracious Queen, Long live our noble Queen, God save the Queen: Send her victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us: God save the Queen.

whales got owned

PM'd Dude! (lol, Rear Entry Made Easy!)

I doubt that the english will take any power soon what with that ridiculously overexpensive Scottish parliment HQ being made. And quite a few other things as well. Cheers for the reply too. I also want to point out to 'Goneja' that it has been the British army for 100's of years now, not just english.

"WAH, I'm a citizen of a prosperous, technologically advanced democracy, WAH!"

I got some scotsman in me. 5'd

Damn, if England still had longbows, you so would not be saying all that. Longbows > Woad Raiders. (Not AOE:TC related at all. Nope. Not even William Wallace's 400 hp. And 20 attack. (Holy sh*t.))

i love that game

I'm in, if the next goal is to take over Norway, Finland and Denmark by FORCE and form the magnificent new country, Scandinavia. Oh my, my tears got all watery. :( PS. Old Sweden would of course be the supreme ruler of Scandinavia, but that goes without saying.

The part about the Union Jack is slightly wrong. It is based on the old flags of the UK. Scotland and England had the same ones they have now but Wales had a blue flag with a white cross and Ireland (which was all part of britain at the time) had a white flag with a red X.

Oh, and don't get chucked out of the army and end up trying to get a girlfriend by sailing around the world. And don't find some island. And don't get trapped on it. And don't be in a series that goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on. Please.

=)

Hail Scotland! From the MacKinnon bloodline meself.

ON THE BONNY, BONNY BANKS OF LOCH LOOOOMOOOOOOND!

BTW, don't join the f*cking army, you'll get shipped off to Basra or somewhere, and that's NO GOOD.

5'd because the Scots invented Golf. Also because of the humor they give the world. (In a GOOD way)

North Kilt Town!

The ammount of arrogance and blatant disrespect being shown by big mouthed, pompus american cock gobblers... saddens me... Scotland, America and England are brothers... act like it you immature pieces of sh*t.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/06/22/ncup22.xml&sSheet=/news/2006/06/22/ixuknews.html have your independance then you can stop attacking our 7 year olds

^^ We can get into Heysel if you want. It's not prefered.

England has been stealing Scotland's oil for decades - when the actual documents detailing the scheme were released, it was given next to no news coverage and so any attempt to raise awareness only serves the greater good.

I'm Scottish and I agree, why should we be ground under the heel of England? Nicely put.

Hear hear!

Hazmongrel, I know about the violent attacks on England Fans that took place during the World Cup. Its sick and wrong, I didnt know of the 7 year old but I did know about the disabled man. WTF are they attacking them for? Supporting there home nation? These people need to be shot

Why does everyone assume that if we want to make Scotland independent, it means we want to kill all English people? Stupid dumbf*cks.

I hope you get shot in the *ss while serving you traitor bastard.

Well I hate the English plenty. You guys need to take a hint from the Yanks, my friend. Get some guys together, get drunk, angry, and write the king a letter declaring the reasons why you should no longer be a part of their stuffy old monarchy. Then sign it an wait for the redcoats to come. Then kill every last one of them and tell them to stay out. Then fight lots of other wars, get the nuclear bomb, and become a superpower. Oh...and oil helps too, so congratulations. You're well on your way

I'm joining the American Army in February (as a lawyer. We need a lot of those right now if you haven't noticed...sigh). Guess I'll see you in Bagdhad... Or Iran...Or Korea... f*ck it. Let Israel take care of it.

maybe I should stop trying to make funny ytmnds and make political ones?

damn quebecois. trying to break up my country. i guess you wont know how good youve got it till its gone.

Twas good and informative till you got all drama-ish about being in the British army and having to delete the site.

5'd cause Sean Connery is in the Scottish Nationalist Party.

(-1 for the ytmnd itself, its a little to fast) I believe in Scottish independence. Tried to say more, but it all comes out wrong...

well stated brother

Scotland rules!!!!!!!

I've got to say I respect the scots through and through. An informative YTMND and rather powerful. Sorry to hear you're joining the armed forces. Nevertheless, godspeed.

ok, I made a massive major revamp and edit to the whole thing... if you want it back to normal just say... but I think this works/looks better plus i added a few things

5 for wikipedia

why is this on ytmnd?

Belive in Scotland would make it as a free nation?

FREEDOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!111

Holy sh*t, there must be a lot of Scottish support at YTMND.

this was HILLARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! "many believe scottland would be one of the richest nations were it allowed to govern itself, right before the US invaded it." haha!

Scottish Pride! I've always believe this, it's about time someone spread the word.

FREE SCOTLAND!

here's tae us, guys.

-1 for US bash

Scotland is a country. duh, it's not an independent nation-state or whatever because it's united with England blah blah but as long as it's called Scotland it's a country.

I don't notice a difference between England and Scotland. Both of them have annoying accents. It's like you're the same country.

Scotland acorrding to EU standards is not a country, its a region because of the lack of control Scotland has over itself... but by the same rules England, wales and Ireland are not countries either

Untinn the good 'Ol USA got there, it was a nice place, SCOTLAND UBER ALLES!!!!!!!!

good idea. I don't agree that we should go out by ourselves, not for economic reasons; there is just no good reason to. On a side note... isn't Scotland supposed to be cold... WTF is up with the heat currently...

aye I know, I dont like the heat but its better the day

I love Scotland and I wanted to give you props for this YTMND. It's so true.

I hate England and I'm not even white. I'd love to see the country crippled, and America might as well be behind Scotland.

north sea oil is runnig out, idiot, then what does scotland have? The future is intergqation, not segregation. SNP suck

Wales should be its own country too, and Ireland should be unified.

FREEDOM! sorry braveheart moment. Great YTMND, very informational (I lol'd at the wales flag part)

There's a Scottish Parliament. English MPs can't vote on Scottish Bills. Scottish MPs CAN vote on English Bills. Scotland recieves pound for pound more public services than England. It does NOT have a disproportionate economic impact on the UK's economy and it's current welfare system is heavily subsidised by England and Wales. Figures from the SNP are about as reliable as a plumber's estimate. No one denies Scotland's contribution to the Union but to suggest that it's somehow getting a raw deal is

- laughable. If Scotland were cut off from the UK it'd have to severely tighten its belt and Public Services would face massive a massive shortfall. Not an appealing prospect tbh.

I disagree, and Im to lazy to back it up right now... but as I said all comments pro and con are welcome

Downvoting for the cheap shot at America. Grow up.

lmao^ what a mong!

Is there a single country left that England hasn't had some part in f*cking up?

California can do without the South. Trust me, I've lived there. There's no reason to keep it.

I'm glad this was made. I'm of Scotish decent and I've always been for an independent Scotland (even though I'm American and was born in America, I take great pride in being part-Scotish). I've never been a fan of the UK nor England for that matter. I'm all for Scotish Independence, but it probably won't happen due to the fact that not enough people want it.

Hey stop confusing British with English. Scots are Brits too. And if you were born in the USA, stop saying "I'm Irish/Scottish/Dutch" blah blah blah. YOU'RE AN AMERICAN, STFU. f*ckers.

no offence to you guys of scottish decent... but i do agree with Wurble, I am of Irish/welsh/scottish/english/german/norwegien/roman ect ect ect decent as are most of the peoples of Britian

wubble sorry

ya learn something new every day, aye?

Lol you just got flagged

My wonderful Ireland broke off. I'm sure Scotland can too.

Alright! it'd be nice to hear the Scots were prospering!

ty i never knew that

+5 for birthplace of Fat Bastard

Nice, -1 though for lame stab at US

Indepencece for Scotland and Qubec =D Though Wales gets sh*t on even more I think

Those days are past now, and in the past they must remain. But we can still rise now, and be the nation again.

I think that the reason the Scots don't secede is that the resulting schism would cause war, and war isn't very profitable.

Scotland was conquered. In a day and time when there are no more Imperialistic societies, it should be granted freedom from an "empire".

nice info, thanks

Informative

Ireland and Scotland need to be freed from the tyranny of the Limeys.

Laughable propaganda. Also, lol at the dumbass americans trying to pretend they arn't americans. Maybe you people should just talk about Sean Connery more, it seems a wife beating, tax-exile is your only real trump card,

The scots would just drink away all the extra profits anyway. You need England like a battered wife needs her abuser-- it's scary to have the bastard around, but you can't survive on your own, either.

You can take away ou lives...but you will never...take away...our FREEEEEEDOM~!

I'm half english half scottish so I don't know what to think. I live in England though so...do what ya like. =D 4'd because the flag part was amusing and wikipedia rox.

you make me think of haggis and mutton

behind you 100% I'm born in America but 70% Scottish, and Scotland is the most beautiful country I've ever been in. it's better than Ireland too.

HOW DARE YOU?

I learned something from this, which is uncommon for ytmnd.

Free Scotland

damn. Good Job and rock on.

"Just before its invaded by the US" lol

Very good! Bravo!

Long Live Scotland! Culture of any nation should be praised, as long as it's not violent.

I'll help. Also, please help the American South be independent. (with no slavery this time, we decided slavery is gay)
