Scotland is…

[JayPaperGod]

...not independent. The United Kingdom will remain united, for now.

 

[Gerkak]

yes, for now at least

 

[NaNaNaaaaa]

YAY! You know people think that it is good but I don't know why, maybe because it is not there country being torn apart. Scotland wasn't conquered you know, it was unified under King James, who was Scottish. Also Scotland would have suffered a great deal and what about all the Scottish people in England and all the English people in Scotland, what about the business, student, soldiers...hundreds of years of unity out the window...I don't get why people don't like England, we are one of the most charitable, open minded, kind hearted nations and always the first to offer aid, even to countries we don't have good ties with.

We might not be perfect but no country is

What a shame. The majority of the scottish citizens voted for the separation, right? If so, seems the corrupt british don't like to give up all the resources that stem from scottish lands. Like their water springs

It has nothing to do with resources and we are not corrupt. It may surprise people to know that we love Scotland and are proud to be part of it with the UK, this was about loseing a family not about water springs, you don't live in the UK, you wouldn't understand.

Brits were brutal colonists and resource leechers in Asia but there is a difference between Asian colonies and US,AUS,Canada,NZ where they were settlers and Scotland.

I think its better this way ..... Smaller countries are easier to topple and Scotland would have had tremendous amounts of problems in establishing itself as a Nation in all respects from Military to Trade, especially during these times.

Why do you say "we" as if to say the people represent the govt.'s regulations?

Anywho, I'm not all too informed on this topic but I read some alternative articles from ppl who claim that it has something to do with scotland's riches. Excuse me if I'm wrong though

It would have been easy for them to join EU and NATO.

It would have been easy for them to join EU and NATO.

But what about an army, the NHS, paying welfare, pensions and what about English people in Scotland and Scottish people in England they would technically have been illegal immigrants and that is just a touch on a myriad of problems.

Yup. The british government is the same as the US. Corrupt and full of shit.

In my country..Since early 2014, student scholarships that got fully covered by the govt. if you finished your education, has changed into student loans. Now you have to pay all of your college expenses back. This is just one of the policies that we copied from the us and uk. It's primary purpose; to enslave the youth with debt.

I doubt the recession helped, all countries have been trying to find a way to earn extra cash, unfortunately that always seems to come at the expense of those who can't afford it. :dunno:

Unfortunately governments don't always do what is good for there country but in the end the decision is there's and no one else's, I have always believed that any large decisions should be put down to a public vote.

Sadly the scottish independence votes were rigged. Same thing happened with the usa presedential elections. Ron Paul would have been leading the country to abundance if it wasn't for the rigged elections.

They do what is good for their neo-liberal goals. Not what's good for the abundance of the citizens.

Well, I don't believe it was rigged but of course I don't know.

In what part of the uk do you live? I'd like to get some info on the most peacefull places over there. Brighton sounds good. I might move to the uk in the future. Gf lives in London but I dislike big cities like London. Too much concrete and repelling ppl. I spotted 2 pedophiles in my 3rd day over there.

London is not a good idea, its a horrible place. Brighton is not really a nice place but I would suggest down Kent way, the weather is nice, you can find small towns that are not built up and the countryside is never fr away, plus you get the sea. Cumbria is lovely if you stay away from the big cities as are Devon, Yorkshire and Norfolk.

I know not everyone agrees but I love the UK, I'm pretty patriotic, I know England is far from perfect and I know our Government can be idiots but its my home and I consider Scotland part of the family, I was pretty upset over the referendum not because Scotland got to vote but because I didn't want to lose them.
