Wars pre 1800?

[renrich]

Emac, I apologise to you because I know that the proper term to use would be Scots Irish but I guess that the term popular usage is in play here. If you look on the map that pbfoot posted they use Scotch Irish there. Anyway, the film, "The Last Of the Mohicans" with Daniel Day Lewis, if you watch closely shows the prejudice that the English had toward the Scots Irish settlers who were settled on the frontier. They have also have been called "Borderers" and many famous frontiersmen in American History were of that racial group, Daniel Boone, David Crockett, Sam Houston, Joe Walker, etc.

 

[mkloby]

Multiple what precisely Tim? But as I said Tim SCOTCH is a drink to be A SCOT OR SCOTTISH is far from being a liquidified quantity

Just a cultural difference Emac. Maybe they don't use that term around your neck of the woods. Like they said - it is a common reference in the US. You can even look up census statistics on various groups such as Irish, Scottish, or Scotch-Irish.

Cricky you're so right... I thank Hollywood, for without it there'd be no accurate portrayal of historic events...

btw... it wasn't

"the prejudice that the English had toward the Scots Irish settlers"

It was...

"the prejudice that the English upper classes had towards the lower class settlers"

It didn't make a difference whether you were Scotish crofter, Irish farmer, Welsh miner or Yorkshire millrat... you were common white trash to be looked down on, and at the very best cannon fodder.

The constant portrayal of the majority of 'English' as being some master race, that lauded it over everyone else is inacurate and tiring... when the real numbers of the landed gentry (who stole farm more land from the Common Englishman) were very very vert few.

And if you watch Rob Roy, with Leam Neilson you'll see Landed Scotish gentry weren't shy when it came to sticking the knife into their own lower class people..

Whoa gentlemen I wasn't serious and no I am not offended. Sorry if you thought I was. I can understand its just a type of generic term from your part of the world. SCOTCH etc. I was in part joking

Simon tell me about it. One being an Australian with supposively convict/colonial attitudes and artributes looked down upon by Higher British Upper Class TWITS and having definite Scottish Celtic Blood and heritage to match etc. As for Rob Roy and Scottish gentry they were no different from English Gentry JUST BASTARDS with a different accent

No worries, didn't take it seriously myself. Just something we're kicking around.

 

[Emac44]

Oops forgot to tell you my surname. Its MacKinnon from Clan MacKinnon of Skye. My family immigrated to Australia in the 1840s. Which makes me 5th generation Australian. I am still all Aussie but I do love my Scottish Heritage and Celtic Blood. Both keep you warm hot blooded and PROUD. I raised my kids the same as my father and mother raised me. Be proud of Family Country and Loyalty towards family name country and heritage. Give respect to others but above all have respect for your family name in all things and never besmirch it in any actions not befitting the family name. Also to except responsibilities for your own actions. These maybe old fashioned ideas according to some but they work for me and my family

 

[renrich]

I am not surpried to hear of your values and heritage, Emac. One can tell because of your posts about your antecedents. Hats off to you. My bloodlines are similar to yours and I value our heritage.

 

[Emac44]

FAMILY Renrich its FAMILY and that is how I raise mine. Not interested one bit in the NEO SOCIAL ideas of self indulgence and self promotion of ignorance and gross attitudes of indifference from today's society. as I have instructed my kids to say to society. Society does not put bread in our stoamches nor a roof over our heads. We live in society but we are the masters of our own industry. Be proud of who you are and your family.

Renrich its part of my overall upbringing. I was raised by a Mother and Father who schooled us in family respect for each other and I have imparted that education to my own children. And being of Scottish Bloodline and Family I have carried onto the next generations to our Family. I do not believe in a society that says to its members that its ok to behave as animals and have no regards for others in society. Thank you for your comments Renrich

 

[renrich]

Well said Emac. The world would be a better place with more people like you around. Both my parents were raised on farms in Texas and their parents were living on the frontier when they were young. In fact my Grandfather Connally was a Texas Ranger in 1882. My father who was too old to serve in WW2 had ten siblings and four served in the Navy, Marines and AAF with three seeing combat, two extensive combat. No mother in Texas had more sons in the military than my Grandmother Connally. Great Grandfathers on all sides served in the Armies of the Confederacy. No wonder we had pioneer values taught to us.

 

[Njaco]

Emac, I admire your resolve. All those values I try to impart to my children (although I'm from an English/German bloodline) and its a struggle. Divorce and 2 families sometimes is a strain. But reading how you persevre, just boosts my commitment to my family.

It is family. Something this world has lost the last 40 years.

 

[bomber]

It is family. Something this world has lost the last 40 years.

Do you think the worlds lost it ?

The whole world or just those brought up in a materialistic environment ?
How many families break up citing money issues as being the prime cause for disharmony..

It seems to me in the instrustialised (western) countries of the world we've forgotten whats really important in life, and replaced it with wanting more and more money and possessions.

I've refused to work away from home taking lower payed jobs to be with my family and kids.... and I've brought my kids up to not want the newest item, be it a pair of trainers or mobile phone that's just come out on the market. To question whether they really need it or are just being made to belive they need it, whilst understanding that a bit of what you fancy doesn't do you any harm...

My son has an X-box.... he doesn't really need it, however he wanted one, and bought it out of his Birthday and Christmas money..

Simon

 

[Njaco]

Yes, I meant the world. Your point about the materialistic western countries I agree with. But does that hold true for Sudan or Rwanda? The ME is a wealth of family values?

A core belief in family with a modicum of faith is whats missing. If you believe in family, it spreads to those you meet and outward through the community. The values of a family can be interposed on the country as a whole and I believe respect, understanding and peace can be the result.

from Emac...I was raised by a Mother and Father who schooled us in family respect for each other and I have imparted that education to my own children.

The key word is respect, the core of family values. Do you think we would have Bosnia, Estonia, Iraq, Iran, Hamas, Fattah, the Westboro Baptist Church, etc. fighting, bitchin, protesting, killing, if they respected each other?

I applaud Emac for his part in upholding that value.

I know what you mean by the games and money. I also sacrifice for my kids even though I'm divorced and have them half the time. But I refuse to move away, even though it hurts my money-making potential. I will be living in a 5 bedroom house in a few weeks even though its only me and my pre-wife. We all sacrifice at some point, its just how deep are we willing to sacrifice. Thats family.

 

[Emac44]

Gentlemen I too was married once before. The struggle was to continue imparting family values to my own son whilst the family broke down into divorce etc. However that was just an inconvience a hic up in the road. I still instilled into my son family values which he still has. I received his report card for the 1st semester this year. His attitude at school and his behaviour at school was marked with STRAIGHT "A"s in class in all subjects. His academic achievements varied from English and mathematics with "A"s Bs And one C in other subjects. Which I am extremely pleased with. But I am more pleased to the fact that his teachers resoundly report back to me that my son is a pleasure to teach as his behaviour and his dilligence to his school studies is excellent. Just means to me as a parent my ex wife and I raised a young man who has good manners and is proud of his family name. And if it seems I am bragging. Well I am sorry I am. I am pleased with my sons behaviour and his school report card for Year 9 secondary schooling. And I too was raised in a family that didn't have oodles of money. What we didn't have we didn't miss. You made do with what you had and appreciated what you was given. When I was first married to my ex wife same ideals carried through. After I was divorced from my ex wife I was promoted at work. And its only in the last 6 years I have been abled to spoil my son a little more but made sure it wasn't excessive and still informed him of the value of money work and saving.

When in 2003 I managed to save enough money for another deposit on my current home 3 years after my divorce. I took my son along with me to show him all the fundamentals in buying a home and areas of mortgage finance banking and dealing with real estate agents etc. He came to understand that without work without goals you achieve nothing. Some people asked me why I took my son with me and showed him how things were done as he was only a kid. I answered you teach your child the value of money your way. I will teach mine child my way

 

[Njaco]

Too true, Emac. One of my pet peeves with our current school system here in the states.

Do they know how to secure a mortgage?
Do they know how to buy a new car?
Do they know about budgeting?
Do they know about the local court system and how to survive it (I'm talking traffic tickets and minor infractions as I'm sure we've all done at one time )?

Basic everyday life trials and tribulations. I try to teach my kids the same.

Wow, talk about off topic!

 

[Stupid]

Ah in the immortal words of my father "Next time I'll beat you until you stop bleeding!"
A lot of kids these days don't get wooped for doing bad things, they get put into a corner and then when they come out they get a lollipop for learning there lesson. I don't know about elsewhere but America's values are getting warped.

D.C. Sniper Coverage: up to one week after the case was closed.
Virginia Tech: A a couple weeks to a month depending on where you are.
200 Iraqi's dying in car bombs: 15 seconds
Anna Nicole Smith's death: Still talking about it.

 

[Emac44]

Stupid I don't shield my son from any of what you mentioned. But I do impart with him what to put into perspectives. I explain to him about the Media and its warped attitudes on reporting the news. When for example the news networks covered more on Paris Hilton going to jail then the space shuttle etc. I explained to my son. If you break the law this is what occurs no matter who you are. left it at that and went onto the Space Shuttle being more important scientifically then some spoiled litte rich girl getting thrown into jail for drunk driving. I have never wooped my kids but given firm balanced discipline there is a difference between that and arse wooping a kid

And yes Nijaco talk about being off subject. its gone from post 1800s warfare to how Emac raises his children and Emac's Scottish Heritage

Good God Nijaco. Seems we humans are a cranky mob when it comes to how MANY WARS you posted up on the site

 

[Njaco]

And thats just the 300 years since 1500. After 1800 should be a doozy too!
