Double Whammy! As for disrespect; you obviously don't understand Glaswegian culture. I doubt most people know much about the Duke of Wellington as they pass by his statue. Whoever the statue is of is irrelevant; it could be of the Queen and she'd still get a cone on her head. Not because she's disrespected, but because it's Glasgow.

A sense of entitlement, even to opinions, is the source of many of our problems in society. I could agree with that everyone is entitled to an opinion on something personal and subjective. A favorite color or type of pet, for instance. <br> But when someone is criticizing a nation that offers such a high level of wealth and personal freedom, the lack of perspective of being that young contributes in part to that. Although many much older still don't see what this nation has to offer. <br> That wasn't where I was going with that, however, you just assumed that. If you read the post CAREFULLY I said a 12 year old shouldn't be that serious about life. Nope. A sense of entitlement, even to opinions, is the source of many of our problems in society.
