Firstly, there's nothing forward about that thought. Europe is being fed to the dogs because of the EU. I urge you to do substantial research into the matter. The bail-outs, centralization of power and open-borders-policy are absolutely killing the members of the EU (sans Germany). 

Luckily, many  of the countries are wisening up. You should see France/Greece leave the EU first, closely followed by several others. It'll happen in a few years. The socialist wellfare system that has been plaguing the once-mighty European nations has been utterly exposed.

The EU is an abomination.

Aah, the good 'ol slavery white guilt card. If only he knew the truth.

Go on, blame the white man for something the Arabs started and the African (looking at you Ashanti empire) was the middle man. Go on, blame the white man for ending slavery on moral grounds.  Where are the blacks in Arabia you say? Take a guess.

...

You are indeed right, his argument makes no sense. But taking out that big 'ol white guild card sure makes anyone agree with you. People should dig a little bit into the actual origins and ultimate end of slavery.

Go take a history/cricial-thinking class. Or just try and read a book about the subject. You shouldn't talk about things you don't know anything about.

EDIT: I cannot possibly imagine what Oliver Cromwell has to do with that argument of yours.

And you think those countries will be better by themselves? Europe would be worthless without the EU.

You seem to forget theres an aager Putin right there willing to get what he wants by force. If the EU is weak and fractured it will slowly take over.

I'm quite well read and versed on the matter, yet you say I don't know anything about it. You don't know a drop about me or what I've studied and known. Take the blinders off and stop being part of the problem.

We're "small enough countries"? This may technically be so, but the union is far from equal. Scotland has only 8% of the UK's population. I think recent political advances have made it clear that Scotland has different ideologies and desires to the rest of the UK.

To the OP, and anyone else who's undecided. Please please PLEASE don't just flip a coin. You still have 24 hours to educate yourself. I know it's bamboozling, but don't let either side scare you or bribe you. 

For the record, I can't vote because I'm living in England for my PhD so I've been trying to see things from both sides, as objectively as possible. 

Whichever way you vote, do it with a clear head and a clear idea of what you think is best. Don't waste your vote. There are uncertainties, but it comes down to who you want to hold responsible for the future of your country - a government based 600 miles away in which we are a minority, or a local government with the sole purpose of representing the 5.3 million population of Scotland? I understand that may sound biased towards yes, but it's the question, isn't it?

christ i hope they vote yes,i cannot believe the scots would pass up the chance of independence

so we can start splitting the UK & end the BBC forced commie tax and Labour as a party can dwindle off into the sunset leaving the english free forever

come on scots,i can't even understand why it is even in doubt,the fear mongering,threats and media bias in this campaign is classic zionist if ever i saw it

I've been thinking... For England, war isn't even an option. In the modern era they'd be condemned like crazy. Sanctions would be everywhere; war can't even be considered. Go back even 50 years and England could stomp this out without anyone batting an eyelash. Then again, they did let Ireland walk away 90 years ago, with little fighting, when they could forcefully have put a stop to it -- so maybe they don't care too much. It's interesting to see how much things have changed in only decades.

so many "vote no" mouth pieces in the media say they can't stand nationalism and nationalistic ideals but they love the "union jack" wwwhhhaaaat??? talk about bizarre as an imperialistic fascist flag as ever there was and they don't want "wee" scotland to govern itself and spend their own oil & gas money

they want to be pro union,pro america,pro nato,pro zionist,pro war ,how odd to claim the nationalism tag as dirty

go on scotland vote to be free and control your destiny helping to free the english in the process
