Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey

Street preacher in Scotland gets shut down in the most Scottish way possible.
As annoying as bagpipe music can be, it sure beats the hell out of listening to some asshole spouting about fire and brimstone on a street corner.
Don't get me wrong, I love a good bagpipe, esp. in groups. The sound makes my skin want to leave my body! It is thought they were used in the Middle Ages on the battlefield because they helped elevate the pain of the wounded. So send in the bagpipes when SP screeches to elevate OUR pain.
As an expat who has now lived in Scotland for a long time, I find listening to bagpipes moving. And this song gives me goosebumps -- it's amazing the response it gets too. It's more or less the national anthem, so it gets people on their feet, clapping along, and it's an amazing thing to see & hear.
Scot's don't tolerate this religious b.s being "shoved down their throats." This fella would probably have been allowed to rant about a lot of things without being shut down by a piper or anything else, but the religious stuff NO WAY. People here consider that utter insanity.
please Gryphen, do not disparage the bagpipes! they are the sound of love and freedom, and I get pulled across miles to the sound of them. Love the way the piper took over in this vid.
Sounds like you've never heard a good Piper play, G! I have several friends who play the bagpipes and they are awesome musicians. The song he was playing.... Scotland The Brave. (or as we like to rib others in that profession, Scotland Depraved. ) :-)
As annoying as bagpipe music can be, especially played by someone who doesn't have a clue what they're doing, I'd rather listen to that sound than anything Sarah Palin is saying.
If someone invented a tool that incorporated her voice you could use it to strip wallpaper from walls and varnish from furniture for your home improvement projects.
I love this!
ReplyDeleteThis is kinda off topic but is it true that Josh Duggar was kicked out of the family because he said the word "wee wee" in front of a girl?
ReplyDeleteWish a bagpiper would show up every time Sarah speaks.
ReplyDeleteShe is her own bagpipe.

ReplyDeleteMy mother in law loved the pipes as do we. When I hear them I think of her..
