Scottish Independence: Your Opinions

Postby Nova Imperius » Fri Oct 12, 2012 4:32 am

Mod edit: Yes, we had these combined as they were all talking about the same thing. Now go put on your kilt and debate.

It was recently announced that a referendum would be cast on Scottish Independence in the Autum of 2014. To some this is the light at the end of a gloomy tunnel and to others it is the first signs of a miserable future. A similar vote was cast in 1979 and the thought of independance was desomated by a landslide rejection. Wat are your views on scottish independance not just Scots but everyone??

I'm not terribly pushed. If they're got popular support and Westminster are cool with it, go ahead. If not, ah well, back to headbutting strangers and mainlining heroin[/modernscotchstereotypes]

A non-Scot making an opinion about Scottish independence? No True Scotsman. *nods*

I think if they want independence they should probably spell the word correctly :p

But seriously, if the people want it, why not.

Oh yeah, I forgot they were all enslaved in the English State Pit Mines, digging up smugness to be exported to the south.

Indeed, a vote against independence isn't a vote against Scotland.

When anybody preaches disunity, tries to pit one of us against each other through class warfare, race hatred, or religious intolerance, you know that person seeks to rob us of our freedom and destroy our very lives.

So by "barely independence" you really mean "completely independence"?

No. It's a vote to have our government decided for us by Southern England once every 5 years. ;)
