This. Everyone I know who are involved in the "celebrations" as you put it, are only there to get it right fuckin up the Catholics and most ordinary members of the human race by saying look at what we can do.

"Defending Protestant civil and religious liberties" You talk some shite.

It appears we as a nation were more enlightened in the 1700s. Seriously though this practice is embarrassing for me as a Scotsmen and I think the vast majority would agree with me.

And we are still to see the effects in 2013

And when does this kick in in Scotland?

In Scotland, the majority of general public are opposed to Orange Marches, as shown by research carried out by Glasgow City Council in 2001 (based on a representative sample of 1,000 adults) which revealed that 53% of people were in favour or strongly in favour of banning Orange Marches, with 16% undecided and 24% in favour or strongly in favour.[10] It is accepted that matters such as national days are marked by parades by other organisations (whether religious or representing other groups) such as the Scouts and the Boys' Brigade but apart from one-off anniversaries such as centenaries, that tends to be the limit of such activity. This is in stark contrast to Orange Walks which - in some areas of Glasgow - can be heard/seen almost every weekend during parts of the summer months. The Order's public position on its "rights to march" is therefore at odds with more generally accepted views about public demonstrations and/or right to free speech. Consequently, but also due to disproportionate costs, there have been moves to restrict the number of marches, for example by Glasgow City Council.[11]

That happens every year tbh, but for sure they'll make even more of a big deal about it.

Answer the question ffs, you think there is absolutely nothing wrong with a OW in 2013 Scotland?

Its painfully got fuckall to do with religion you ignoramus. I actually know most of the Ardrossan winton flute band through school and I guarantee none of them go to church on Sundays Your post is testament to the problems we have in the west of Scotland frankly. At the end of the day, your all supposed to be Christians, no?

You are not being serious. Are you?

Exactly how I feel mate. I would imagine there are more nowadays than there used to be, not a weekend passes down here where there isn't one, the joys of living 2 miles away from Kilwinning

In your opinion there is absolutely nothing wrong with it? You don't think its incendiary and possibly offensive to Catholics in Glasgow. For the same reason Anjem Choudary is allowed to protest soldiers funerals.

So there's nothing wrong with it at all?

Obvious troll.

Too many for a modern Western democracy.

I was disappointed with Prometheus, I went in expecting Aliens so I think that played a part. But overall it's pretty poor.

It's as if they want people to buy Playstation's.

Yeah I think I'll probably start from the first book, not sure how it will be given I know who gets their head cut off etc.I reckon it will be good to put faces to names though.

I realise as I type this that's it's probably a stupid question. But given that I've watched the whole series so far, is it an absolute necessity that read the books in order, or could I go on to say the 3rd or 4th book straight away? As you can see I'm anxious to continue the story.

It does.Easily one of the greatest tv shows of all time.

Battleship is an abomination, truly awful.

The book is absolutely fantastic. I love how it's stories from all over the world, I've heard the film is only from the American point of view.

Yeah I absolutely loved it, the ending took me a while to get used to but I guess it was the best way to do it.I've heard he wrote another called 'The Wind Through The Key Whole' I haven't read it though. I agree, midway through the second it picks up, but I also enjoyed 'The Gunslinger' it was much simpler than the ones that came after it but its a great short story. Supposedly they are looking into making a movie.
