So the Scottish should decide its own fate, but the people of NI should shut up and join Ireland.

Can you declare your postion more clearly please... ie.  Why you hate England so much? 

 

 

Easy, easy, don't pull the victim card out. If there's anything I can specifically hate about England, it's the Beatles. =P But Monty Python is awesome.

The Scottish are from Scotland, it's their land by birthright, before the English decided to take it over in the medieval era. The people of Northern Ireland are settlers on land that England usurped from Ireland. In the 1920s they gave PART of the land they stole back to Ireland, but not all of it. Thus, 70+ years of bloodshed and murdered innocents on both sides.

If there's any hatred shown in these facts, its how much the English hated/hate the Irish.

So to answer your initial question - those with the right to the land get to decide its fate, imo. You are free to disagree with that, I'm not trying to get you to see it from my perspective. Yet, I see the picture from the outside looking in, whereas you are inside the picture, so I assume, as an English citizen, and naturally favor one side of the argument considerably more than the other due to that.
