Any chance you could make an intelligent post?  One that uses the King's English?

Scotland is, 400 years after "unification" still solidly independent.  Federalizing the British state strengthens it by making it a voluntary union, rather than a remnant of empire (my ancestors were organizers of the '45 rebellion.  *I* haven't forgotten how the UK was formed, which means that others haven't also).

Yes, it is.  The roots of the name in Ireland are somewhat unclear, but it seems to have both Irish Gaelic and Norman roots.\n\nCheck out the website I've attached.  It should help.

There is a new movie out right now about this: CSA.  It is a documentary about life in the US after the South wins, and defeats the North, so that the whole country is run by the South (rather than having two separate countries, a different scenario of a Southern victory.)\n\nThe premise of the movie is that the differences would be surprisingly small.\n\nIt is hard to know how things would be now.  Perhaps of the CSA had been a separate country, it would have faced an eventual and successful slave revolt (funded and supported by the remains of the Republican party in the North) and the CSA would be known as New Uhuru, or something.

Generally accepted as being from 410 AD (around the collapse of the Roman Empire in Britain) until 1066 with the Norman invasion of Britain at Hastings.\nhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/anglo_saxons/saxons.shtml

Yes, I'm a big fan of the 1928 BCP. However, there are no traditional Anglican churches where I live. Only one very liberal Episcopal church. Bleh. I don't currently own my own copy of the 1928 edition though. I have the (dreaded) 1979 version as well as the 1946 version (given to me at my confirmation).

Ya.. he surrendered to the IRA>> now we have political process in NOrthern IReland where the minority ( republicians) have an equal share in power.  Do you think the English would let an ethnic minority say for example the Polish or Muslim communtiy have half the power in their governmenrt..

(nb I'm an American and unabashed Anglophile).  I wish the UK were closer to North America so it could be a natural trading partner of NAFTA rather than the EU.  The military alliance between the UK and US is very strong; would that we could have the same relationship vis a vis trade.  (The "EU Citizens" and "All Others" lines at British airports make me cringe: When I visit the UK, I'd like to have the same legal status a Frenchman or Pole has, rather than being lumped in with the Mongolians and "all others.")  \n\n I've long maintained that the US would be a nicer nation if it had been a British territory for about another hundred years, the way Canada was.  We'd have gotten rid of slavery a lot sooner, might have been able to avoid the Civil War and might have gotten industrialized a little faster if we'd had direct British influence.  \n\n In establishing Rhodes Scholarships, Cecil Rhodes hoped to draw the US into the British Commonwealth by exposing the cream of US academia to Oxford.  How I wish he'd succeeded...

Travis, forgive me if you're right in principle you're may not be right in the form nor in the general reasoning.\n\nAccording to your thought you own that country because you went there, colonized it with the force, made it yours and now you're there and rule. \nIt's right for that reason that, just like you did, anyone else could go there, kick your butt and settle a brand new type of civilization (It will happen eventually but i think you'll be too old or dead to see it happening). \n\nBut that is not the point!\nThe point is simply that the reasoning WE ARE ALL IMMIGRANTS greatly sucks in general for the following reason.\n- It's true the US are a nation of immigrants. But it is also true that, leaving natives aside, it was originally colonized by WHITE CAUCASIANS OF ENGLISH ORIGINS. Therefore, if US are what they are in terms of economy, living standards, etc, that is MAINLY DUE to the organization inprint provided by those ENGLISH WHITE CAUCASIANS. No one is saying that African slaves or Chinese didn't do their part. But we are are not talking about the workers but rather about the neural system that shaped the US as they are today. That was due to WHITE CAUCASIAN ENGLISH PEOPLE (It's not a case if UK is still a power to reckon with economically, while the rest of Europe is going down). That measn that allowing too many illegals or even legals of any nation whose traditions and habits are very different from yours, could or would (longterm) an uneven balancing of the racial groups. In short one new racial/religious group could begin to gain power and exert more pressure to dominate. The thing appears ridiculous untill the amount of WHITE CAUCASIANS is still majority (and strenghtened by the amount of immigrates who share your own values) but it's not said that will always be so, if the US keep allowing in "PIGS AND DOGS" just to show up how democratic they are (Even though after they let in all those people have to control some 200 million telephones to be sure no one is misbehaving). \nOne thing the US and Europe as well should begin to think about, in the light of the recent events is:\n\n1) Stopping immigration flows; especially those relating to some specific ethnic or religious groups.\n2) Begin to expel all illegals, no matter what and regardless of any diplomatic issue \n3) Ensure the racial balance will always be on the white caucasian with afros (whom in good and bad seem to be those who better adapted to the real US values)\n\nSee, i am not an American citizen; I am an Italian who lives in Italy but i see my country infested with immigrants who kill, scrounge, steal jobs, ask for rights they would never give us in their countries, try to force us to ply to their wills (Muslims in particular), organize in gangs (Latinos in general), rape whole families, rob and kill people with a smile and then laugh (Romanians, Albanians), kidnap kids, steal and scrounge off the government (ROM Gipsies). And all this happens despite our unemployment rate ranges between 8 and 50% in some areas, which should let you understand we DO NOT NEED IMMIGRATES in Italy. I think you don't need many of them in the US either as in most cases all what they do is working for 1/10 of what any american would do, killing the job market.\nWhat a pity your reasoning was based on FORCE, while the actual problem is much more complex. But i do see your point and your rage (Which is shared by many others around the world)

Nope. I think I'd find hobbits, elves, wizards,ringwraiths and dwarves. I'd probably come across Frodo and Sam too.

Yes.\n\nNative Americans were a part of this great nation long before the English took over. Native Americans proudly established communities that promoted togetherness and unity and respect for the land.

was it states rights...that is one in the books..thats not it i think it had alot to do with a power struggle.The north wanting to keep the south in its proper place. Which wud be wrong...i admit i missed something on the subject,i can find out.The north had a little known desire to not let the south persue an industial base, which was growing a  bit before the war broke out.Cotten was king n they knew it,with a strong industry the south could,and would i belief become dominant in the power sruggle.
