As someone who's hoping for the economy not to get screwed over, I'm hoping for a 'No' vote.

The idea of independence is quite a romantic proposition for many, though.

I'd much rather we stuck together, personally. Putting aside the potential economic disaster, I've grown quite attached to the Union Jack.

Boy, I hate being Half-English Half-Scottish.

No. I honestly just see a self-dependent Scotland being all great and good till it goes bust and comes crying to David Cameron to be part of the UK again. I also dont fancy having to go through airport style check-ins everytime I get a train from London to Glasgow. Or passport checks on the A1.

Before Non-Brits get confused, simply no. My Scottish family agrees.

The uncertainty of the independence negotiations would stop UK growth in its tracks until its resolved, which could take years. The consequences for the Scottish economy would be much more severe and long lasting.

How many others are just reading but not posting so they don't sound like an idiot?

Lol, political matters are just not my thing but this particular case is interesting to read about.

I realize that. That is why I am not regurgitating the same crap I am reading here or on google. 1 morning's worth of research does not make me an expert nor would I feel like my opinion would hold much merit. Even less Merit because I am not from scotland nor am I anywhere near there.

However doesn't mean it doesn't matter to me. Many people are going to be affected by this in one way or another. It is just interesting to know how they would be affected... What are the facts? why do this? what are the benefits? What are the cons?

By the logic of Scotlands population being big enough to be independent, so could Greater London. Think its about 9million here now.

...at least London wouldnt go bust as fast.

theres lots of fear mongering going about regarding this vote, ask yourself why. david cameron and the rest of his mates couldnt give two ***** about the scots all they care about is loosing a large chunk of people for votes and to keep on printing the amount of funny money they do at the moment.

since i hate the twatzs down south i wish the scots all the best in what they decide to do, but anything that kicks the cuntz in the nuts and weakens them politically im all for.

Just want to wish ya'll the best of luck with the referendum tomorrow. Yes or no, I hope it turns out for the best.

Both sides have legitimate reasons for their stances. Likewise, both sides have people who have little logic to their thought process.


I'm an optimist.

so because i would like to see an entire nation free from the corrupt cuntz in parliament im part of some global group of stupid hating twatz that want to segregate everything? overreact much :) you dont know me at all friend.

oh, and independence through self determination and segregation have nothing at all to do with one another, so try again with the personnel attacks

[quote=TechMechMeds]But yeah, good luck Scotland, here's to less unity and much crawling on knees when the realisation that reality doesn't work half he way most seem to think and hope is moot without substance.

So far, there has been 100% no substance but hope that i have seen. Some very well presented tosh that can be mooted very swiftly.

Again.

Has anyone got 100% proof and facts that can sway my mind?, i have asked far and wide and not actually seen anything.

Some key points.

The land owned by foreigners to be taken back - they bought it, enough said.

The oil and BP - Yeah BP owns it, enough said.

RBS to move to London and abandon Scotland - does this need explaining lol?.

Too low a population to borrow money - No confidence in lending (not even a pipe dream would suffice to justify lending to 6 million people unless it was tiny).

Looses seats and rights in important positions to be taken seriously - goodbye G5 etc, welcome to mediocrity.

University and prescriptions will now cost - enough said.

Tax rises - enough said.

Thats only a bit of whats to come. Is all that really freedom though?. And if the world followed the same logic with some of that then we'd all be fked, all of us, you can't simply claim something that is owned and paid for.

Seriously, can anyone please just fking show me something that isn't a pipe dream or some hocus pocus bullsht that will actually benefit Scotland?, some actual fking reality in the matter please.

you been off your meds or something friend? show me one post of mine where im trying to fill gullible peoples minds with bullshite. ive simply stated that scotland has a great opportunity to get away from corrupt politics and politicians from parliament.

it would seem to me that your the only sour clown in this thread, all you have put forward is doom and gloom and insult anyone who doesnt agree with your doom ****

i wish the scots the best of luck regardless of what happens and if its a yes, try not to pop a blood vessel and any mistakes they make after that are theirs to make, it is free world after all is it not mr soppy bollocks :)

no im not a scot, born and bred in the north east of england but why does it matter what part of england im from, are you from scotland? and ive got about as much as what you have, which is nothing but opinions

the royal bank of scotland lol is no more scottish than you or me, and who owns it?

you dont know what the word patronize means, because your the only one treating the scotish people like children by implying they wont be able to get by without the mighty uk gov to wipe their arse for them

peace

It would seem reason has triumphed.
