Scotland to secede from UK? - Page 2

Derek · 09.16.2014, 10:20 PM

england is scotland's biggest trade partner and scotland is england's 2nd biggest trade partner besides the US. there's no way we're just going to stop doing business with england.

i'm voting yes because i'm a young student who has trouble finding work and has absolutely zero hope for the future. independence won't be perfect but we need something other than the status quo and independence is rich in opportunity that westminster doesn't provide.

oh i see now what you meant by this being what leftists want. this makes sense. don't know enough about the issues to understand the full repercussions, but i get it.

also, you get to keep your oil money, and if oil prices keep going up, reserves won't run out soon as people say. higher prices = higher reserves as they make more sources viable. (this is how the usa now has vast reserves -- shale oil became cost effective)

Sean Connery is all for Scottish independence despite him living an opulent lifestyle in L.A. Will he move back to Scotland? Will he fuck, the hypocritical bastard.

pretty sure sean connery said he'd never live in scotland while it's in the uk so i don't think it's very hypocritical to not live in scotland.

as far as 'opulent la lifestyle' i don't really think sean connery would have to live in a dumpster if he left california so...

The No vote was more sound economically but I was curious to see if the JAMC made the World Music section had the Yes vote won.
