So many people call him Braveheart nowadays, so is it a crime? I read it from the internet and watched Braveheart's (Wallace) tactics of war in the Battle of Stirling Bridge in Discovery Channel. (strangely enough, the Discovery guys also referred to him as Braveheart! Perhaps nowadays, this name is more popular.) I dont know since which date Sir William Wallace came to be regarded as Braveheart. Anyway, what I say here is fact. As I have known it, others will know too. The scholars you are talking of, dont invent facts. They know it too for the first time from somewhere! It is immaterial if I have known it today, yesterday or 10 years ago. I know it now and thats all.

you may take our lives but you'll never take our freedom ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Where did I say this last bit? Now you're twisting facts, pal!

In the article above, I have not copied one single line from anywhere. Except the quotes from Sir Walter Scott.

The Irish bit was my slip of keys, and I am really sorry for that. Ila the wise pointed that out to me first and now you. But that was in the terrorism thread, not here.
