Quite nice. But …
Quite nice. But Loch Lomond is not a military march! Especially the choir in end is just too much. It would suit “Rule Britannia”, but not this little tune from the highlands. Actually there are much better versions of this song, also here on youtube. Nemo me impune lacessit!

Hy there, I am …
Hy there, I am German too, but I would not hate being it just because I love another country. Actually I studdied in Scotland and I am in love with this country since. But this is no reason to hate what you are and always will be. Actually some parts – and some people – of Germany are nice to. Just try to open your eyes a bit.

No it isn’t…You’ve got some amazing, and at times, regretable, history in your nation…The only nation that can be considered boring is the US…and that’s because it’s really a blip on the map historically compared to the entirity of Europe!

Ick! How to ruin a folk song–make it into classical music. Ruined. Let folk music be folk music.

I’m American, but I have British ancestry (in fact, that’s what I am–English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish) and I’m proud of it. However, I think that being German is cool, and you all have such a wonderful tradition of great literature and great music!
