Everyone should remember that the only age group which voted for the Union is the elderly (60+ yrs).

Including corpses, one of the mainstays of election fraud.

There haven't been riots in the streets in the US over election fraud for a long time either (since the Battle of Athens, I believe). Civility does not prove legitimacy.

The decision to put Scottish independence to the vote was agreed upon by all sides. The campaign from both sides of the question was conducted peacefully without violence or threats. And the leader? of those who want independence has graciously conceded. There have been no riots in the streets. I think maybe others should pay attention to the lesson in civility that the people of Scotland has just given.

Scotland is divided. There was a large majority who voted NO in Edinburgh but a large majority voted YES in Glasgow. I knew the 2 cities were very different, now the whole world knows it. The world will forget, but the Scots will not.
If this is the case then just the one city can leave the UK. If this would not be feasible then there is nothing to complain about.

I personally never say any upside to leaving the UK.Scottland would have a small economy, with little trust in their ability to tax and repay their debt (their credit rating). They would have no currency (they would need to create one).

You clearly have no idea how much experience was crammed into american history in a way that laughs at other culture's so called 'history'. Not to mention you haven't got a clue about what it really means to create a political system. Hint: it's not what you read off of books or emulated from others. The core foundation of such system has roots in collective experience of the people, and their manner towards such laws.


Since other parts of your post are just trash....

So you are saying US got their system based on just their founding fathers thoughts and experience (which they gained from studying history of laws and political systems), not experience of humanity for last thousand years in that time? Ignorance is a bliss. If anything more on this topic create a thread, i'd love to continue there, not hijacking this one which is contributed to Scotland and its separation.

Of course, you think your own laws are part of that 'humanity' LOL

How old is you? You must be young and weak to spew this garbage and call it discussion. You never answered any of my points - instead of explaining yourself, you resorted to questions. Your own position indefensible because you carelessly mouthed off about your 'educated' views when it was clearly an ignorant statement that was devoid of substance and against facts of history.

Give a straight answer for once. Your question time is over.

First: thanks for your nice response.

Second: I am geting the image where the problem is. We have just different opinion on what is based on what, and from what I know you are missing something from history lessons.

Also you must be American (say if I am wrong ofc, but...)! Otherwise you couldn't say American law system is original ( based on UK system - precedential one - and Montesquieu's and many other thinkers works, he's just only one i can recall atm, as well as many other systems, nothing original beside that combination).
Americans basically just took everything good that was in that time and put it together and make a system. And since then everyone else is trying to be like US, making perfect "democracy" and so. Not because it was original, but good combination of previous attempts and/or thoughts. Besides that, US was really young, what experience you are talking about?
As you can see, in my point of view, i am going really deep, thus considering older entities as Romans, originators of modern democracy. Thats my opinion and I can clearly see you won't agree. Cuz I don't know proper(*) facts. heh

Third: I really don't know how you discover that i am toy! It was secret well kept till now!
But no joking, I am amazed how you can evaluate my character in just two posts about topic that is more about our history knowledge and opinions than me being toy  Roll Eyes.
I didn't say i know everything, nor i can't change my opinion, but tell me, read our discussion and be honest: would you change your opinion being in my place? Your facts and posts you are presenting are far away from healthy and productive discussion but rather going on "American freedom" way of trash talking.

I really don't get what shouldn't i get?! I though't we'would be presenting facts, not fighting like teenagers in yo mamma  fight...


*  -  Cheesy  really?  you know, saying thing like proper fact is bullshit, since there are only facts. This is making me feel you are the ignorant one here...

LOL i haven't heard this much kiddy bull masquerading as education in a long time. Most fools at least caught the message and managed to keep their mouth shut when their betters are talking them down.

The core foundation of such system has roots in collective experience of the people, and their manner towards such laws.

American experience is unique in scale, the idea, and environment in which it started and continues on. The fact that you think you can mouth off about 'originality' reeks of desperate denial that seeks the slimmest excuses to try and convince yourself how you need not feel so anxious about america - for some reason, many people seem to bitch until their throats are hoarse as if they are pricked in the sore spot when america comes around Cheesy

You are going 'deep' through your own bull shit, but that's present day education Smiley Try being original for once instead of playing some sad contrarian.



Honeypot, you basically just got owned by someone who's first language appears not to be English, and then had to resort to childish attacks because you couldn't get your opinions across in a mature way. Kindly fuck off if you can't have a proper discussion without mouthing off. You Sir, get the coveted first ever place in my ignore list.

'Owned' Cheesy This fucker got a mouth. Who was it that thought this was a 'classic internet politics'? Fuck yourself if you can't keep your lips sealed when you are told.

Did you even bother to read? Ah but ignorance is a bliss. You sound a bit frustrated with how you like to be uppity when you think you can decide this matter as if you can even understand the subtext.

You haven't addressed a single point, only threw tantrums. Now, I expect some answers as to the points I made, none of which you could address properly. It seems you are simply incapable of having a discussion if you can't close down the inconvenient facts and instead resort to thinking you 'can't be bothered' Smiley

Bitch please~

You better come up with a better response, because scotland ain't going anywhere no matter how much you bitch about it.

United by choice > United by force. 

If you dont have the skills to influence someone to change their opinion on just an internet forum without directly attacking them like a wild animal then you aren't likely qualified for judgements on whats right for people/society on a larger scale.



LOL pot kettle. Really, that's sad.

And just how much of 'choice' do you understand? 'Force'? People like you have no understanding of what true nature of choice entails and hence deserves none. Hint: It's not about doing whatever you like.

I never started attacking people wildly like you, there is no pot kettle situation.

And meh, cant even be bothered with the rest tbh. You win no votes, bye.

History seems to have a way of repeating itself. This is eerily reminiscent of the Revolutions that took place across Europe in 1848 which all eventually failed without exception. Then again, I don't think that too many people here know what I'm posting about.

With Scotland re-affirming their wedding vows to their UK masters, ole' Cameron will be lifting a few kilts from the back and slipping his rod firm up the Scots for good measure.

With Catalonians and the Basques getting restless in Spain, also the wealthy Bavarians and Venetians in Germany and Italy wanting a bit of independent action, what would the likeliest states in the US be on a list of 1 to 10 for those wanting to separate from their federal US masters ?

As a foreigner (American), I'm glad to hear they're staying.  I think they will have more influence on the world stage this way and the world desperately needs their common sense.
