Ameriscot in The Hot Seat !

Wow! Three questions in a row! Get your thinking cap on!

If Scotland has another referendum on independence, don't you think it would be right and proper for the English to have the same? We are all part of the same Union after all is said and done.

I would vote against Scotland breaking away.

I will vote for independence for Scotland as I did the first time. Who is England going to be independent from - Wales and NI??

No, I meant shouldn't the other countries in the United Kingdom have a referendum as to whether Scotland should be able to leave the union.

Can you imagine your home State becoming an independent country in the US?

Ameriscot, having traveled to so many places, what is the most universal behavior you have noticed of the indiginus people's?

I have found the Thai people and Ugandan people very friendly and helpful to foreigners. And Ugandans were extremely curious about life in the western world. Curiously, both cultures do not display a lot of anger in public.

No, only Scotland should have a say on whether they leave or stay. What the rest of the UK thinks is irrelevant.

Scotland is hardly the same as a state in the US.
 
Now that that is out of the way let's get back to the important stuff. Do you use nail polish?
 
Blimey Ameriscot, you are getting a right 'grilling' here, and going down a bomb!
Nice one.
Now then.

Do you like cooking?
Are you a good cook?
If so, what do you like to cook?
And what is your favourite dish?

Four in one, but all about the same subject, so they flow.
I think!

You are given a large sum of money, but the only stipulation is that you donate it all to your top three favorite causes. How would the money be distributed and why are those causes important to you?

Missed this one.

1. The majority would go to a fund for university scholarships for rural Ugandan girls who have proven themselves academically. Why? Because I lived in Uganda for 2 years and saw how unfair education is for those who are poor. We, with some help from family and friends, put a girl through unversity.
2. I've never thought about any other charities since being in Uganda. I have little faith in many charities who keep too much of the donations for 'administration'. However, I'd probably give to Oxfam which spends more on where's it's intended to go.
3. I'd do something to help Syrian refugee families. Don't know what or how.

Cooking is generally a chore although I don't mind baking.
I'm okay as a cook, but not very creative.
My husband likes to cook and makes about 99% of the dinners.
I am good at making carrot and coriander soup though, and veggie pasta with Quorn.
Too many favourites. One would be Thai red curry.
 
Annie, what birth order were you in your family? How has your position shaped your life? I ask because I am the oldest and the only girl. I think being oldest made me bossy and being the only girl made me like to hang with males better than with females.

There would be no hate, no war, no hunger, no poverty, no religion as it causes too much trouble, no global warming, no Trump.

Thank you Ameriscot.
I agree with you on 6 out of 7 there!;)

On that theme, and after all you did ask for thought provoking questions...

If YOU ruled this forum, what would you do with it?

Have to go for lunch now to get out of the way! :eek:nthego:

I am second of 4 - 2 girls then 2 boys. The oldest and youngest in my family are leaders. I am not. I found it hard to be a middle child.

I think I'll bow out of this question.

As for thought- provoking, I only meant different than questions on if I floss my teeth! :p
 
Also, Annie, if you could go back and have a conversation with your twelve year old self what is the one mistake you would advise her of so she could avoid it and what is the one best thing you can tell her the future holds for her?

12 was difficult. We had moved states and I was the new kid in school. I would tell myself to figure out what career I would like and to go to college instead of getting married. What the future holds would be different than what became so I can't answer that. But things turned out well in the end. :)
