Its getting embarrassing for all of us.

It seems we are constantly demonised for being English. In fact while looking for work when I had to identify myself via a choice of multiple options for ethnic and racial backgrounds, I always chose British even if there was an option for English, as I felt like I was being tested to see if I would select the wrong option.
We all secretly know that had I chosen English I would have been perceived as some football hooligan with a portrait of Hitler on my bedroom wall. Yet across the borders, Scottish and Welsh nationality is something to be proud of. When will we stop being persecuted for the actions of our forefathers?

The delusional one here is you, simply because you can't understand the numbers.
Scotland: 5.3million
Rest of UK: 59million
So Scotland should be responsible for less than 10% of the national debt.
And for a nation of only 5million, Scots have contributed more to the world than any other nation of that size in history.
Scotland will do just fine on it's own while England runs around with its head up it's arse letting Sharia Law take over the streets.

Yup, keep on spouting your delusional beliefs. I will personally drive you to your local voting office and and even point out the "yes" box for you.
You guy's are seriously deluded if you think for one moment that Scottish independence is actually viable in a global economy. You must be CRAZY to believe it. Please vote yes. I cant wait to see your country get put in it's place on the global stage.

Um, put down the haterade there for a second captain Jackass Sparrow, and wake up to the fact Scotland has universities that are more than 1,000years older than the UNION, and furthermore Scotland has a long history of free higher education.
Where do you think 1/2 of the modern worlds medical knowledge comes from? Oh and English students have long been welcome to come study in Scotland for FREE.

I just hope the Scottish public realise they hold a gun to the world's head and vote no.
Think of the economic ramifications, which could plunder the world back into recession.
This is the potential break up of the world's 6th largest economy, and Europe's 2nd largest economy. In other words, this isn't like the break-up of Czechoslovakia in 1993. The uncertainty over currency, financial institutions and the economy as a whole will most certainly affect the whole world as we live in times of global economy.
So if there are people from outside of the UK that believe this is a small matter that doesn't affect them, then think again.
When the hard times are back again and it affects you, remember it was the Scottish people being selfish.
Of course many Scots aren't stupid and they're waking up to this realisation and on the 18th will be voting no, so fingers crossed come the day after we can all breathe a sigh of relief.
