I for one will join my patriotic brothers and boycott haggis. I think we all can agree that the boycotting of haggis is called for. I do believe it is a war crime under th Geneva convention to feed prisoners haggis...

Haggis. Nature's way of answering the question "WTF is that?"

Does this mean you won't be talking to me Frazz?

And of course, only America lost Citizens in the Lockerbie Bombing. Not as if the plane stacked into a village or anything

Typical America. Do as we say, or else. Well suck my scottish balls, boycotters!

1. It was mostly Americans
2. You guys let that bastard go instead of a caliber .308 solution.
3. As noted I shall continue my haggis boycott. Amazingly, I was boycotting haggis previously but this reboubles my efforts! Take that Scotland! No justice no Haggis (takes a swig of fine whisky in the hopes of a long boycott, notices label) HEY THATS SCOTCH! ARGHHH!!!

Boycott haggis! Its evil was revealed to us in Revelations "Thou shalt not eat the stuffing of intestines by the Scots, for it is the Beast's Food and Beith Gross."

Boycott Kilts! We know what they don't wear beneath their kilts! as the English Proclamation of 1535 stated: "
Beware the kilt wearers, lest they flash ye, which Beith Grsss, and verily!"

Boycott Scottish Whisky! For it was spoken of by Nostradamus "For there came a war upon the Land between the Hosts of Single Malt, and the Hosts of Agava, and there was much praying to the porcelain god, which Beith Gross."

Boycott haggis!
Haggis is murder!

No no, there's no indication Ireland has committed any Haggis related human rights violations. So far, Ireland and Wales are in the clear. England clearly is an evil doer, but its partially counteracted by good beer, pubs, and a full retinue of Indian curries.


Kilts are a whole other range of atroctites. Can we let this sort of thing continue? I think not!

Oh the Humanity


The eyes! It Burns!

I am including everything on that island, I am also going to include northern Ireland. I will wait to see if boycotting the rest of the Ireland Isle is necessary as well.

well check this one...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jul/31/gary-mckinnon-loses-extradition-appeal

Scotsman, garry mckinon gets extrodited against his human rights in Britain. Whatsmore the US have said he will be punished for excercising his right to appeal the extradition.

So why don't scotland boycott american products?

It's almost too coincidental that those too thing have happened this year. It's as if they released a US prisoner on compasionate grounds for locking someone up who should have been treated with compassion. I can't imagine that's the case, and I am not saying their of the same stature. But still.

This is dumb.

See this is what happens when you have unfettered access to haggis. monsters appear
No not cool monsters like godzilla who are consider enough to shade you from the sun


Or even the creature from the Black Lagoon, who's a real party animal.


But like big lizards that hang out in a lake, scaring the haggis eating whiskey drinkers on the beach.


and they are always bumming us for change

That has nothing to do with the topic of haggis, you Scotch drinking kilt wearer!

For every one reason an American can think up to boycott Scotish product I can think of ten reasons for a scotsman to boycott American products.

Again, dumb.

In your base, ignoring your logic.

The guy was a hacker who hacked US military and NASA information and may have deleted some crucial information. Not only that but it cost about $700,000 to find and repair the issues.

He shut down a navy base and left messages on the machines. like this one:
"US foreign policy is akin to government-sponsored terrorism these days? It was not a mistake that there was a huge security stand-down on September 11 last year...I am SOLO. I will continue to disrupt at the highest levels.”

The guy attacked the US government and the US government is fighting back. Oh he has aspergers, big deal, I work with people who have aspergers and they can function normally in society.

It doesn't matter whether he was in the wrong or not. You shouldn't get punished for exercising your rights. That was the point, the aspergers issue is beside it.
