Bet that made yer day, eh?
*Yawn*, no one cares, this is a real non-story. You don't have to be well-liked to do good. Also considering we have a guitarist and an actress in the running then I'm sure the selection process was a real algonquin round table.

To be honest.........it brought a smile [lol]
can't believe it came as a surprise. The only surprise is that he came so high. Politicians don't normal come high in these types of polls. You could say that it was an achievement that few if any other UK leaders could emulate.

Where on the list did Johann Lamont, Ruth Davidson and Willie Rennie come in? Truth be told, I'm surprised any politician was included in the poll.
Oh - I though Eck appeared in the poll because he's a comedian!

Oh wait, a poll that was conducted by a Charity for Scots in London! Ah, well, that is a very important barometer of how people should be regarded.
Golach, I pity you, I really do. Cant you find something else to fill your sad, pathetic, non-existent life rather than just post drivel about out First minister? Really, you are very close to becoming the biggest bigot, and the biggest bore, on Caithness.Org. Give it a rest you pathetic little non-entity.

Dehaviland, I dont give a monkeys what you think, if I wish to post anti Eck posts on here, I have every right to. If you do not like them, may I suggest you do not read them. But keep the insults coming I love them [lol]

Actually, I haven't even begun to insult you Golach. You do a good enough job of that yourself!

A tad out of order, in my opinion of course.
Spelling is poor also.

That quote was poorer.

Yet not as poor as your banter.
I've mentioned this before but ad hominem - to the person - attacks serve no one. It really is one of the worse logical fallacies and debate tactics around. Both sides are guilty but I hear it from the unionists more and their attacks tend to be instigated by more mainstream pundits instead of the lunatic fringes.
Regarding that great Jewish poet, Rabbi Burns, I'd like to have him arrested by the Thought Police for issuing an inappropriate (everybody purse lips NOW!) ad hominem poem in which he insults a totally innocent mouse by calling it "timorous" amongst other undistinguished epithets. This sort of thing really gets in the way of progressive homogenisation and "best practice" theories regarding what is and what is NOT permitted in real debate with real human beings.
You must learn to argue in specific ways, otherwise you will be open to censure. Freedom of thought and opinion must be secondary to logical structures and expositions of ideas.
You have been warned.

I believe I've made the point - to you I think actually - before that art and literature have different rules and things can be said for the sake of art you wouldn't expect in a political debate, news show or current affairs discussion. You can ignore the odd insult also but there's a constant stream of them both low and high.
Also how is constantly insulting someone in any contributing to a debate or moving an issue forward, you're trying to deal in absolutes which don't exist in stuff like this. There's a reason most fallacies have greek or latin names argumentation, rhetoric and debate have to have logical structure.
Once a person resorts to a personal attack the debate is lost.
This isn't a debate it is an arguement...different rules.

My dads, bigger than youuuuuuurrrsssssssssss.
I'm with the Greeks. What a great system they had. How enduring their culture has turned out to be. And how successful. Just look at them today. Somewhere in their parliament are men and women who have argued with great logic as to how to keep the country afloat. Didn't they do well?
Logic is like socialism: both utterly admirable, but both unable to be fully embraced and implemented by homo sapiens because of human nature.
Thought police who set the rules are limited only by their own lack of imagination.

I may come wailing in with a virtual headbutt and windmill punch then.

A nudge to the chin, maybe?
