Thread Name: What is Burns Night?
Subject: RE: What is Burn's Night?
Folk man ..I dont understand why you think me mad to compare Burns to Jesus Christ.Both espoused the doctrins of the "Brotherhood of man", and Burns's obvious feeling for other living creatures,echo Christs teachings on God the creator.
There have been a few comments on Burns's sexual mores. To my mind burns was a libertarian,who appreciated the emotions and sexual feelings ,which he saw ,quite rightly as a "natural "gift.
Lots of poeople would like to live like Burns, but feel constrained by
societys conventions.I often think most people are only half alive
PS.... Ihavn't got To Noddys adventures yet, but on your recommendation I'll see if I can borrow a copy from the weans next door!!
Fionn BURNS V SPOKESHAVE......."Nae   contest"!!!!
