If Scotland goes independent they just need to have a low corporate tax rate and lure multinational corporations to headquarter there and pay their taxes there. Then they can legalize gambling and become an offshore tax haven.

There are no nuclear weapon carrying US subs based outwith the USA. The confusion may be that we buy the missiles from the US which is big business, billions of dollars.
The UK's nuclear missile submarines are based 25 miles away from the biggest city in Scotland, we tend to think that it is unthinkable that they would have done that in England. An independent Scotland would get refuse to host them but it would take many years for England to find a new location and build a base and cost billions.
I have not read up on all the details. I tend to believe if the population in a given area votes one way, then let them go for it.
I can only assume those who are in charge of this whole affair have already studied all the ramifications in extreme detail.
I can only assume they would not even bother with it unless there were real benefits.
I mean, I always thought Scotland should be it's own country. I always felt Ireland should be it's own island. Fuck all that religious crap.
People rant about all the "Muslim" terrists or "Middle Eastern" terrists or "Shining Path".....they never mention the IRA.....
Once again, religion is causing the destruction of the world.

Ok so is this post acceptable?
One thing Scotland can do is simply to NOT follow the failed policies of other nations.
They have had plenty of experience on the home front as to run their particular neck of the woods.....or not.
I think Scotland should be it's own country.

Believe me if someone puts 200 nuclear warheads beside your home you tend to pay attention to these things.
They are UK weapons.
US nuclear submarines occasionally visit but not the ones carrying missiles due to security they only ever stop at one of the two US SSBN bases.
Just saw Cameron on his knees begging the Scottish people "OH GOD PLEASE NO!!!!"
I believe they should leave Scotland to the Scots.
But only if it benefits EVERYONE.
Which it won't.
So what the fuck.
I have not bothered to research the fine print on this issue.
That's an insanely high bar to set, it's almost impossible to think of anything that benefits everyone.
Sunlight maybe?
Speaking of setting the bar too high, self-governance seems a bit ambitious for a country where it is considered acceptable for men to wear skirts.

Keep the nuclear sub base if the "YES" vote wins. You can charge the UK up the ass in rent. You will have them over a barrel.

I know it's Wiki but I doubt they made this up. They're were US nuclear subs in Scotland but they supposedly closed that base in 1992. That's probably the sub base I was refering too. I probably misheard when they were talking about a U K nuke sub base in Scotland and thought they said U S. I had heard about a sub base in Scotland from submariners I met in the Navy but that was before 92 but I didn't want to mention that if it wasn't public knowledge. Obviously it is so I can.

WWWWS. What would William Wallace say?
Yeah but Crimea was once actually part of Russia before and had a large ethnic Russian population. Also Moscow wasn't about to lose their naval base to Kiev. If I was in Putin's shoes I would have done the exact same thing. Russia would have continued to lease their base if there was a government left in Kiev they could have done business with.
There is a central banking war going on. The countries being targeted by the west are ones who don't have a Bank of International Settlements sponsored central bank. Libya had their own bank. Russia has their own bank. Syria has their own bank. Iran has their own bank. They want every nation in the world to be under the BIS system of banks and then run up debt and then take real assets to settle the debt. You have to control most the politicians but look at the US and Europe. Most the politicians are owned by the banks.
This is what the move against Libya was all about. This is why any excuse is made to have regime change in Syria. It's why the Ukraine business is about with an end goal of having regime change in Moscow. It's the banking because if you control the banking you control the country. NATO is no longer about protecting Europe and North America from a Soviet attack. It's about taking over countries, putting a BIS bank in and looting the country. The Ukraine is being looted. Not that it was being looted before but now it's the IMF and it's corporate cronies doing the looting.
Like I said, and independent Scotland is a joke unless they have their own independent state bank. The European bank and Bank of England are BIS banks. Thinking you are going to escape debt by going independent without your own currency just shows you don't know how the system really works. The IMF will be happy to give independent Scotland a loan. They will end up owning the oil and whatever else is of value.

True. All of it. Whereas two old men sit in Central Park playing checkers day after day, all the alphabet agencies play checkers using leaders of various countries, or leaders of the rebels (soon to be leader of those countries).
It is all a self-defeating game. I wonder when the endgame will occur, and whether or not it will be man-made or natural? One random meteor or asteroid would be all that was necessary to destroy the planet.
Will be devastating either way, but I guess I would rather have the natural, non-radioactive alternative.
All we as individuals can hope for is to make it to our designated bucket kick-off point, and do so without too much damage along the way.
Some of our friends checked out early, unfortunately. Hope if there is an afterlife they are doing well.
As much as I dig technology, the dark side of that is that I hate living in a world where the world could be destroyed by man.

The real question is, would this thread be here, and would anyone really give a fuck about that shithole, if Sesh weren't from there?

I think Cameron should go dig up the bones of James I and cram the skull up his own ass sideways.

What the fuck does that degenerate asshole know about Scotland?
About as much as he knows about anything else - pretty much nothing.
True.
Typical thinking from a Mike Malloy fan. Fucker never said The Scots are trying to bring on global destabilization. He said the Russians are behind it because they want global destabilization. Why don't you change your user name to Goebbels? Your custom title here should say minister of public enlightenment and propaganda.

I was pretty sure you guys were just talking shit to each other I was just claifying why I started this thread. I assumed most Scots resented being part of the UK and it kind of surprised me when I heard some on TV saying it was a bad idea. Everything I know about Scotland and their relationship with England (Britain, whatever) that I didn't learn from watching Braveheart I learned yesterday.
