World ranking

I cannot count the number of times in the last few weeks I have read in the
press the phrase, "Scotland is a small country". On examination, this belief
is nothing more than a further example of the inferiority complex which
burdens Scotland.

On the CIA's World Factbook list, Scotland would be 112th (out of 238) most
populous country in the world; England would be 24th.

So, there are more countries below Scotland in the list than are above us.
Of those counties which are our closest neighbours, we are larger than
Ireland, Wales, Norway, Iceland, roughly the same as Denmark, and slightly
smaller than Sweden. The only neighbour who is significantly larger is
England.

In population terms England is fairly big and Scotland is pretty average
(not small). But what really matters is who is most prosperous. Norway is
the second richest country in the world (GDP per head). If we want to be as
prosperous as Norway, we need to be independent.

Academic pretences :-) It amazes me how grown men, like RH, can spend their
time on such negativity though. Why intentionally go to a forum of a
country you clearly despise and spend so much time simply trying to annoy
folk?

Frae Auld Bob Peffers:
It is fairly obvious really. It is a bit like the homophobe who is motivated
by a fear that he/she has homoual tendency and they usually do. These
mentally flawed people go Queer bashing. It also has very similar roots as
those of the type of person who is motivated to join such as the Ku Klux
Klan and persecute those of a different skin colour. It has been amply
demonstrated that these suffer inferiority complex and a fear that those
they persecute are actually better than they are. Mind you I am not a
psychiatrist but I do take their word for it.

Well on the former they have done this work:

New Study Links Homophobia with Homoual Arousal

August 1996 Press Release
WASHINGTON -- Psychoanalytic theory holds that homophobia -- the fear,
anxiety, anger, discomfort and aversion that some ostensibly heteroual
people hold for individuals -- is the result of repressed homoual
urges that the person is either unaware of or denies. A study appearing in
the August 1996 issue of the Journal of Abnormal Psychology, published by
the American Psychological Association (APA), provides new empirical
evidence that is consistent with that theory.

Researchers at the University of Georgia conducted an experiment involving
35 homophobic men and 29 nonhomophobic men as measured by the Index of
Homophobia scale. All the participants selected for the study described
themselves as exclusively heteroual both in terms of ual arousal and
experience.

Each participant was exposed to ually explicit erotic stimuli consisting
of heteroual, male homoual and lesbian videotapes (but not necessarily
in that order). Their degree of ual arousal was measured by penile
plethysmography, which precisely measures and records male tumescence.

Men in both groups were aroused by about the same degree by the video
depicting heteroual ual behavior and by the video showing two women
engaged in ual behavior. The only significant difference in degree of
arousal between the two groups occurred when they viewed the video depicting
male homoual : 'The homophobic men showed a significant increase in
penile circumference to the male homoual video, but the control
[nonhomophobic] men did not.'

Broken down further, the measurements showed that while 66% of the
nonhomophobic group showed no significant tumescence while watching the male
homoual video, only 20% of the homophobic men showed little or no
evidence of arousal. Similarly, while 24% of the nonhomophobic men showed
definite tumescence while watching the homoual video, 54% of the
homophobic men did.

When asked to give their own subjective assessment of the degree to which
they were aroused by watching each of the three videos, men in both groups
gave answers that tracked fairly closely with the results of the objective
physiological measurement, with one exception: the homophobic men
significantly underestimated their degree of arousal by the male homoual
video.

Do these findings mean, then, that homophobia in men is a reaction to
repressed homoual urges, as psychoanalysis theorizes? While their
findings are consistent with that theory, the authors note that there is
another, competing theoretical explanation: anxiety. According to this
theory, viewing the male homoual videotape may have caused negative
emotions (such as anxiety) in the homophobic men, but not in the
nonhomophobic men. As the authors note, 'anxiety has been shown to enhance
arousal and erection,' and so it is also possible that 'a response to
homoual stimuli [in these men] is a function of the threat condition
rather than ual arousal per se. These competing notions can and should be
evaluated by future research.'

Adams, Ph.D., Lester W. Wright, Jr., Ph.D. and Bethany A. Lohr, University
of Georgia, in Journal of Abnormal Psychology, Vol. 105, No. 3, pp 440-445.

I do not believe any homophobic men - repressed homouals or not -
would have willingly submitted themselves to such a study, which was
obviously conceived and set up by the American " lobby" as a tool
to further its not-so-secret agenda.

The McKinsey Report of the 1960s, which claimed that 1 in 10 males are
homouals, has recently been thoroughly discredited ... and it has
been revealed that the principal researchers were themselves
homouals with a vested interest in "cooking the figures".

Why worry. Scotland *is* a small country which doesn't matter very much -
and all the better for it. Rather that than being a country which is a
breeder of rather insecure small men who need to get some kind of vicarious
ego booster from their country's perceived "importance".

Didn't you read the letter? Appears to be very average in population size.

Depends how you qualify that. Matters to those living there. Being part of a
target of hatred like the good old UK should be a worry compared to those
other freedom luvin, libertine democracies who don't.

Funny that. If those nutters hate democracy and freedom so much why aren't
they picking of the small boys?

Have you ever noticed that the more extravagant the claim, the more
irrelevent the poster?

I've never heard of the Starkey creature, although I must concede that
Henderson has behaved very decently in removing an appalling
embarrassment for us all by attacking the (Scottish) Prime Minister
and thus allaying any suspicions about his actual ethnic origin...

Other than that he is of course, like Starkey, a total non-event. As a
proof, have you ever read anything like this in the Court Circular?

"At the Queen's banquet last night, guests broke into spontaneous
applause at the entry of Robert Henderson, the Prime Ministerial
stalker, who later enthralled her Majesty as the Royal Ladies flocked
around him by breaking wind in tune and unison with the band of the
Grenadier Guards as it played "Hearts of Oak..."

I rest my case.

From what I have seen of the fucktard known as RH, through cross
postings, I cannot understand why whichever group he belongs to hasn't
kf'ed him. He contributes nothing but bitterness. Ignoring him will make

Thought it was pretty clear. That the unionist canard of being too small to
be independent is neither a truism in itself nor even accurate in the case
of Scotland.

You'd have to show that it is a unionist canard. I doubt that it is.

Personally I'd have thought it was obvious that Scotland could exist as an
independent country if it so chose, regardless of big-ness. If
Denmark/Norway/New Zealand/Bahamas etc can exist - so can Scotland.

Frae Auld Bob Peffers:
Let us not forget the poorest country in the British Isles was once the
Republic of Ireland. Yet that country has surpassed us all. Which really
shows we would all be better of without the cold damp clasping hand of
Westminster wrapped round our collective necks and squeezing. I can well
remember the Hendersons of this Wold laughing and telling, anyone who would
listen, how stupid the, "Bog-Hoppers", were, and how badly they would fare
within Europe. I don't hear them laughing now. Strange, isn't it that the
English seem to have a need to use derogatory names for everyone else within
the UK. Jocks, Taffies, Paddies, Micks, bog-hoppers, leek-munchers, Haggis
Bashers - a psychiatrist would probably examine those facts and diagnose the
users of such terms were suffering from inferiority Complex.

Well obviously not median. And mode doesn't mean much when you're
talking about 200 values most of which are in the millions. So of
course I meant the mean, which is what is usually meant by "average"
unqualified.

Why not?

The range is about 1,284,302,806. 20% of countries have populations less
than a million whilst 1% have 37% of the world's population.

And mode doesn't mean much when you're
> talking about 200 values most of which are in the millions.

It would be the most common occurence and experience of most people.

> So of course I meant the mean, which is what is usually meant by "average"
> unqualified.

The average experience of most people would appear to be in the million to
10 million range:

Populations - % of countries

Below a million - 21%
Million to 9,999,999 - 38%
10 million to 19,999,999 - 15%
20 million to 29,999,999 - 6%
30 million to 39,999,999 - 4%
40 million to 49,999,999 - 3%
50 million to 59,999,999 - 2%
60 million to 69,999,999 - 2%
70 million to 79,999,999 - 0.5%
80 million to 89,999,999 - 3%
90 million to 99,999,999 - 0
100 million to 199,999,999 - 4%
200 million to 299,999,999 - 1%
300 million to 999,999,999 - 0
Over a billion - 1%

Because the median, by definition, has just as many below it as above
it.

The mode is the value which occurs most often. The chances of any two
countries having the same population is negligible, so each value
occurs once. If you group populations in some way, you may be able to
define a mode, but it will depend on how you group them.

I'm not sure what an "average experience" is, but since there are
about 7 billion people and about 200 countries, the mean population is
about 35 million. Scotland is about one seventh of that.

As I said earlier, you and Suzieflame share the same characteristics;
an unhealthy interest in other people's business; a desire to control,
supervise and punish.

Suzieflame and you live in the same city - why don't you get together
for an evening of enjoyable leatherwork, lite whipping and discipline
- you can wear your Billy Bunter school outfit with the knee-length
trouser and little school cap, while Suzieflame, being a foul-mouthed,
foul-tempered drag queen, will no doubt wear her all-leather Nazi
outfit with SS cap borrowed from Prince Harry and whip by Pinces Di.

It could be "Crrracking!" good time and I'll bet you'd get a Usenet
courtesy discount from Suzieflame, as I have noticed in the past that
cheapness is a major part of your sadly flawed personality.

Suzieflame and Roquefort (because he's so cheesy)!

Now there's The Wedding of the Year!

It would even outrival the Trump nuptials, which I am only attending
because I stupidly allowed myself to be talked into upgrading to
season tickets at his last wedding.

>Roquefort and Suzieflame de Henderson et de l'Estuaire Es.

The young Roquefort seen as a youth in London, wearing his Tam
o'Shanter and (near) Henderson tartan to demonstrate his pride in his
ethnic origins. Here he is seen newly returned home from a successful
day hunting and cashing in empty bottles - with a bottle of his own!

http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/users/02/shakin/hobo.jpg

Roquefort as he is today, getting in shape for his wedding night. Note
his personal leash is already in place at Suzieflame's request.

Frae Auld Bob Peffers:
Yes we all noted your strange delusional behaviour long ago. Everyone was
made aware of it due to the constant attendance of the doctor and nurse that
you so often speak directly to.We know they are in constant attendance as
you so often speak to them when you become distressed at others pointing out
your delusions. Really, Robert, being in denial will only aggravate your
problems.

Sadly your history of being "pretty sure" has always been exposed as
nonsense.
