I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

Re: Why Does Scotland Want To Be Independent?
what ?! when ?! really ?! ah! Damn British, i mean Great Britain only used Scotland for taxes and manpower for war & colonization.i hope Scottish people be free from the 350 years of colonization!!
Hope freedom & independence for Scotland & Kurdistan, thw two torned & colonized nation by the bloody hands of Great Britain!! but not the only ones!!
Re: Why Does Scotland Want To Be Independent?
we have yet to see if they really do want independence - right now opinion polls say they don't so...
Re: Why Does Scotland Want To Be Independent?
I thought it was the Scottish Crown that inherited the English one.
Independence is always sought even when it's not thought.
Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
Pape for global overlord!!
Re: Why Does Scotland Want To Be Independent?
i think Great Britain is Deceiting the world, becuz they know the Scotts dont have anythin now to be independent and have Scotland for 350 years so the Scots abandoned resistance and lost hope, and the new generation doesnt care!!
yes !! you know, Great Britain is called OLD FOX now,
so why they dont do that in NORTH IRELAND ?!!!!! they wanted independence or scotland ???!!!
oh my god!! how much talented and expert at decieving is this Old FOX !!

And what if Northern Ireland don't get independence? What do you suggest should happen then?
Re: Why Does Scotland Want To Be Independent?
Gah! What a mess this whole thing is. I am staunchly pro-Union, but I am not engaging with the national debate on this topic because I don't like what I am hearing from either side, and I reject all the language and axioms that their arguments rest upon. I also won't vote in the referendum.
There's no reason for things to go belly up. Depending on the outcome of the North Sea oil controversy, Scotland could actually be financially better off independent of England. If the outcome doesn't go Scotland's way, it would be a bit worse off. Not sure what you mean about Shetland, it wouldn't have a better claim to most of the oil than mainland Scotland - oil aside, I don't think anybody would notice if Shetland left.
Well in 1603 a Scottish monarch became King of England, but there never was a union of the crowns. For our purposes, the relevant date is 1707, when acts were passed by both the English and Scottish Parliaments, ultimately abolishing the latter.
Scotland has never been colonised by Great Britain (by which I guess you mean, England).
Do you know that a Union was first proposed by the Scots? They actually tried to force England to create a British state about 50 years before it actually happened (Cromwell's short-lived creation aside) - look at the 1643 Solemn League and Covenant the Scots signed with the English Parliament, and the 1648 Engagement they signed with Charles II.
The whole idea of a British identity originated in Scotland, and was consolidated by the plantation in Ulster. For hundreds of years people in Scotland and England saw themselves as British. That is why Scottish independence is wrong - carving up Britain would be like carving up Kurdistan!
Oh, and the Referendum is going to be on the 18th of September next year.
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

It is because the Tories got in power and no one in Scotland likes the Tories (or UKIP).

Re: Why Does Scotland Want To Be Independent?
isnt that Colonization?! Scotland was free from the pre history to 1600 AD....!!! and suddenly the English Imperialist occupy it forever!! and made them to be completely dependent to the English Crown !! so they think twice when they want freedom & Independence !!
i know that Scottish Colonization is very smoother and English have given at least some rights for the Scots.not like the rest of the world.its ok you dont hate them, but your thoughts isnt: no feeling to your race or homeland !!! sorry for William Wallace that gaved his life that may next generations continue his way, but, english imperialists have their mind & life & Resources fully in their hands !! what these FreeMason Imperialists have been made of!! i regard them!
and how you compare Britain to Kurdistan ?! i dont think Welsh or Irish or Scottish Language and Race have any connection and major similarity to English !?!?!
i told about this referendum, the English crown is deceiving the world, i think you must read history, the poor Irish people Gaved too many lifes and suffered much time in English Jail and did too many strikes, that only to get freedom from 350 years of colonization & Oppression of English Tyranny, and after the republic of Ireland, northern Ireland was excluded from Freedom, and from that time then, they recoursed to rise arms and be aggressive, for the most basic of their Nationalistic rights, and that was mostly suppressed due to lack of supports and US aids to English Crown.
and why i said English Crown is Deceiving the world? because the most freedom & Independence seeker is Northern Ireland and then Wales(weakly), not Controlled Scotland !!
if they are really interested in giving freedom & Independence, they must do that in Northern Ireland and Wales too and in Priority!!!! but they dont !! and this show, the refereandum, its only a Deception !!

Re: Why Does Scotland Want To Be Independent?
Paranoid, and racist. I've not voted in any election since I got disillusioned with Labour's invasion of Iraq, but now I will vote against any party that recognises Kurdistan, on the grounds that anyone who has anything in common with you is obviously going in the wrong direction.

Re: Why Does Scotland Want To Be Independent?
Well speaking for myself; I like scotland, I dont want to see it leave because I like being in a union with it and I feel we should be standing together against the world instead of fighting eachother.

The Scots won't leave. Apart from being sensible, who are they going to blame when the English are no longer their overlords.

Re: Why Does Scotland Want To Be Independent?
Um, in 1600AD (by which I guess you mean 1603), a Scottish king took over the English throne.
There was also no 'Scotland' in prehistory. The Kingdom of Scotland was created by settlers from modern day Northern Ireland who established Dalriada in western Scotland. From there, they conquered the rest.
My ethnicity is "White British" and Britain is my homeland. Do you know that the Scots language is a dialect of English? Not even a different language! Throughout history, only people in the Highlands and Islands spoke Gaelic. In fact, the English language is thought to have originated in southern Scotland!
Zionists and Freemasons?The Scots won't leave. Apart from being sensible, who are they going to blame when the English are no longer their overlords.

Re: Why Does Scotland Want To Be Independent?
I used to think that resorting to insults was a sign of weak intellect and poor education, reading some of this Kurdish chap's posts makes me understand a little more why some people sink to that level.
Re: Why Does Scotland Want To Be Independent?
Don't be so certain.The Scots won't leave. Apart from being sensible, who are they going to blame when the English are no longer their overlords.
And they can blame the English at least 50 years more - Croats are still blaming us and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future and we're still blaming the Turks.
Once you get into it, it''s great, and politicians tap into it momentarily. It totally absolves you of any responsibility.
Re: Why Does Scotland Want To Be Independent?
If Scotland becomes independent then they will be out of the EU and NATO I guess?
Re: Why Does Scotland Want To Be Independent?
Probably no. Even if it happens for legal reasons, they would probably be admitted instantly upon independence.
Re: Why Does Scotland Want To Be Independent?
ok ok ok ok people, i know why you hate me, and som of you plz dont say you dont, you believe i must be as you like, think (Or told to think) as you , believe (or told to believe) like you ........
at all, YOU think someone is Rational or wise or good, that is someone to be like yourselves and you can not accept someone not in your limited circle that just and just wants to talk about things that, things MAY NOT be like you think!! like Muslims, your response Is only offense and insult!! i thank you!! you showed your thoughts and personalities to me!! now i must think otherwise to SO CALLED 1st World!! i thought i can find rational and understandable people, i thought i should discuss in here, not what you believe must be told!! again i was in mistake !! you cant discuss, but to attack to anyone you dont like or maybe told to dont like his ideas, you dont want to search for more wisdom and knowledge in this world, you just want to be in your limited but comfortable little mind circle.
at least my conscience is comfort, i have not insulted or offensed any of you despite you did to me !!
i now must lose hope to all humanity !! ok i hope the NEW WORLD ORDER at least fix this !!
so i will not discuss with ignorants and haters and nervous and mind & thought controlled people anymore !!
but again in your inverse, i wish God Bless us all, AND i wish best for all humans and Peace and Freedom(whether Nationality or Mind), for us all !!

Re: Why Does Scotland Want To Be Independent?
I'm a fairly easygoing person in RL, and being brought up as I've been, I've been taught to tolerate a wide range of political and religious views. However, brought up as I've been, I've also been taught to despise ignoramuses who seek to impose their ill-informed opinions on others, with the reminder to keep quiet and pay attention to wiser heads when I have nothing worthwhile to contribute. I guess you've never been taught this.
BTW, have you read up on who occupied whom in 1600 yet?
Re: Why Does Scotland Want To Be Independent?
Empire, I have never insulted you, and I was always open to hearing what you had to say.
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
Re: Why Does Scotland Want To Be Independent?
Its not that they hate you - its that you are completely misrepresenting the Historical facts to "score points"
the English did not "colonize" Scotland - the Scottish successfully kicked the English out several centuries before the act of Union - Scottish Independence from the Kingdom of England was gained during the second war of independence which ended in 1357 - the act of the union was in 1707.
