How terribly terribly sad Dundee must be as a place these days that you have
to spout your ill informed and contrarian political opinions on to a coin
news group. It has nothing to do with coins and is therefore in breach of
usenet rules.
To a fellow Scot, it looks to me like you've been selling `Socialist
Worker' at the bottom of the Wellgate for far too long now chum! I think you
must actually be beginning to believe it's contents!
Move along and get a real life! I think coins might be good for you. At
least it can get you more in touch with reality if you have something from
each of the countries mentioned to relate to.

This may not be pleasing to a Scot, but it's the rules over here.

We have enough trouble in the US with a concept called Political
Currectness. PC says that you have to measure every word you say for
possible meaning, so no one is offended.
The result is that more time is spent trying to figure out how to say
something than was spent coming up with the idea, and everything reads like
it was written by a lawyer getting paid by the word. It still doesn't work,
because when you finally figure out what members of a given social group
prefer to be called, they change that term to be derogatory, a invent a new
term.
Expanding PC to a global level would mean that everyone who writes a webpage
would have to check it against the customs and sensibilities of every
country in the world. The result would be that most pages would never get
written. Far better to write, then correct if serious problems are
discovered.
In this case, the real problem is that if the page is about Scottish notes,
there is no need for a US flag, even if the page was put together by an
American. The solution is to suggest to the webmaster that it might be more
appropriate to feature only the flag of Scotland.
Making a big issue that will eventually degrade into name calling and
defending of each poster's country serves no purpose, however.

The www may not be American....but the website in question has been bought,
paid, and developed by one. ....and he can put on HIS website whatever the hell
he want's to.
At least Dave has been providing the world with his enthusiasm for Scotland and
Scottish Banknotes.
Until you or anyone else comes up with a better site I think you need to get
used to the fact that Dave's site is a far far better advert for Scotland than
your attitude or that of your snottery nosed wee pal from the `Socialst Worker'
pitch at the foot of The Wellgate in Dundee.
