Hey y'all, here's a new Ulster/Dixie page on SLMN with pics, videos and links, etc about Ulster, Dixie and the Ulster-Scots, etc.

Suppose so. But I think myself we still should have an alternative. Especially with the way things are going on the mainland at the moment.

We keep all options open. And I wouldn't put the Independence boys down.

P.P. is for independence for his own state. So I suppose he can identify with the UIM more easily.

Culzie, you're right. Being for independence for SC and Dixie, I suppose it's easier to identify with the Ulster nationalist movement. But having been over there I can understand where both groups of the Ulsterfolk are coming from.

woops never mind least you know the difference prods make up 60-something % of this country ( i think you know what taigs breed like) and the vast majority would be rangers suporting unionist loyalists
man its class seeing so many loyal prod americans and canadians (not to mention germans,spainards and serbs, as well as mainland britain) thanks to the internet :up:

I can see the similarity between Ulster and Ossetia too. I'm not aware of all the 'ins-and-out' of it,but Georgia started the whole thing of. Russia then came in and took Ossetia's part. So I can understand that. I only wish GB had did the same at the start of our 'troubles' then we might have had 30 odd years of peace. Like the Turks in Cyprus had.

I think you'd find there are a lot of people who might not be out and out loyalists. I would say the majority would be. But 99% .......not sure. The loyalty to Britain is not as strong as it once was. Thats not suprising seein as how they [goverments] have treated the loyal Ullish people.

PS I have the Ulster flag that David gave me while I was over there on the wall in my apartment right now!

It was the same in America. Except we were never really a nation, but rather a union of many republics - each sovereign and with its own particular culture and identity. But Federal abuses throughout the early 1800's turned Southrons against the Federal Government. Finally they voted to leave he union and form a new one. The Constution of the new one was virtually the same as the old one. But we were invaded and sadly lost the war. Today, the Feds continue to abuse us (one way they do this is by not guarding the borders and giving citizenship away like candy to people from the Third World. In 1960 America was 90% European. Today it's about 65% and steadily declining. This is thanks primarily to Federal immigration and naturalisation policies. This is just one example where the Feds really work against us. I've just had enough of them. So I daily advocate for our independence from them.

Thanks for the ABOD site. I haven't been on it for awhile. It went down. I didn't realise it was up again. I seen the Campsie clubs in the photographs on it. We hope to be going down to Londonderry again in October for the 'makings'. Its not as hetic that day. Quieter altogether. Thank God.

I know what you mean re the situation in Dixie and Ulster. As I said, we have to judge the situation on what the background is in each particular country. I know the O.O. in America is different to the O.O. here in a few ways. The rules and regulations are a wee bit different.

Aye, even if you can make it over for a weekend [or whatever] that would be great. You've met a few of the boys,but there are a few others I'd like you to meet. If you can make it,you know you'll be more than welcome. So here's hoping.
