There are of course differences of opinion in Scotland too. Plenty would agree that the killing of 270 meant that Al Megrahi should never have been released. But I'm going to post on this.fr dougalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06505160310703978020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4397534889613700337.post-14263521654093250782009-08-20T23:49:05.408+01:002009-08-20T23:49:05.408+01:00Fr.

The idea that many people have here in the US is that there should be no compassion for criminals. None at all. I'm not that doctrinaire about it; I think you have to consider case by base. I am sure that I'm a minority on this.<br /><br />Regarding Orange Walks, yes, they have the right to do that, just as neo-Nazis and the KKK have the right to do so here. I just get sick of the old hatreds and don't see a need for people to maintain and glorify them.<br /><br />I love the Scots language you used. I am a linguist and I like listening and reading dialects of all types. Thanks.<br /><br />Daviddtedachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515969793060325169noreply@blogger.com
