because he's one of the best poets the world has ever seen.

it is important to celebrate our culture and heritage.

Plus, Burns suppers are good entertainment.

Any excuse for a ceilidh is a good one.

I care.

Haggis, neeps and tatties. Yum.

When did mediocrity and banality become a good image for your children? ... The New Kids! "Hi we're the New Kids and we're so good and clean-cut..." "We're so clean cut!" Seig Heil! Heil! Heil! A good clean country... Heil! Heil! Heil! Fuck that! I want my rock stars dead! I want them to fucking play with one hand and put a gun in their other fucking hand and go "I hope you enjoy the show!" *Bang!* Yes! Yes! Play from your fucking heart!

The only thing I know about Burns is the proverb "if at first ye don't succeed..fuck it"

He's the most well known figure in Scottish Literature, of course we should have a day to celebrate him!

I still care, and I doubt I'm the only one who does!

Just because you and timpy are guffy twats there is no need to go slagging off Rabbie.

Off back to England with you.

Are you implying that the use of Scots dialect, as was widespread in Burns' time, is something to be frowned upon?

There' s a big difference between Burns' use of dialect and colloquialisms and modern day grammar.
