Big Jim..You are what you are..and obvioulsy you have no intention of changing..so live and let live.Tho we speak the same language as our American friends,we DO have differing cultures,...God, different parts of the USA have different cultures..i dare say that is what makes that country so unique..We here in Scotland being a celtic nation and a protestant nation combined, have to live together as well..you are the opposite side of the fence from me,tho we are both Scottish born and bred..i TOTALLY disagree with your religious outlook..but iam used to it,because it is part and parcel of our culture..live and let live...some of my best buddies share the same beliefs as you..tho you really cannot call them beliefs,because they don't believe,but that is bye -the -bye..tho if someone is going to employ me ..i definately do not ask what religion he is before i take his cash..it takes all sorts to make a world,and as i say we are different cultures ..and mybe just mybe,your Scottish bluntness perhaps ruffles a few feathers...well again live and let live...i don't think for a milli-sec there is any real malice behind it..but mindful we are two different nations split by a common language..i see a lot of posts on here i do not agree with..but i just move on..i really prefer talking about the nitty-gritty of the songwriting world,or the odd political debate,or texas -hold-em,,or roulette,or horse racing,or football.not american football the Real football...SOCCER....sorry.. no offence to my American Buddies...lol.........Terry...
