    I'm with Chris it is getting old. Backing off and lurking now and then is fine. A post titled "Today's Youth", and I have to look. A post titled "Liberals are bad" or "Black people deserve to get shot", yeah, fuck that. It's fucking stupid and it got old.

    Just to be sure you do find that behavior of those black kids indefensible do you not?

    I personally think it's unbelievably barbaric. Regardless of the glaring double standard.

  • Also, and this goes for everyone, if you see a post with the word "Obamao" in the title I'm sure you could save yourself a great deal of discomfort by merely moving on to the next topic.

    If, in fact, those kind of posts bother you.

    One method I have used in reading posts by Xxxxxx Xxxxx is rolling my eyes and making the jerk off motion with my right hand. Works like a charm.

    There's not going to be any rational discussion when the thread includes "black people deserve to get shot" "animals" "apes" "savages". Yes, I'm sure whatever was in the OP was bad, but it just spirals from there onto the "I'm not racist, its a double standard, etc" but still totally racist comments.

    No thanks.

  • Well you probably won't be surprised that I find that kind of behavior barbaric. If that were Klansmen, or skinheads or any other white hate group doing that do blacks, Mexicans or Jews, I would call them animal and subhuman savages.

    Furthermore I would not blame the people that they viciously attacked for wanting to shoot them.

    And of course I believe had the races been reversed this would have been the biggest story of the year.

  • Perhaps certain people should just start their own political threads

    of what interests them, and we could talk about those.

    The silence about this dirtbag in our WH is deafening.

  • So if we can ignore the hijack, Chris, what would be Scotland's form of currency if they leave the UK? The Euro I assume but did they have their own specific dollar or pound in recent history? I am assuming they will stay in the EU right?

    WSS

  • Why does Scotland want to secede? Is that tantamount to a state seceding or does Scotland have some degree of sovereignty?

    They have claimed they'll still use the GBP, which has been rejected by the chancellor, George Osborne. Obviously, they'd use that for a little while anyway, until they got their own money printed. Alternatively, the Euro makes sense, but for that they'd need admission to the EU, which has declared that a new sovereign state would not automatically be admitted to the EU, and would be subject to the same kinds of scrutiny as new joiners such as Croatia. That's not to say they wouldn't be allowed in, it just might not happen for the next 5 years or so.

    Scotland has its own parliament, and a lot of powers have been devolved there in recent times, to the point where it's almost autonomous. It of course was a separate county up until the unification in the early 17th century, and there's always a lot of 'anti-English' sentiment going on, so it's not like the citizens of the two countries (plus Wales) have ever truly assimilated properly. I mean, you go across the UK, which is about the size of Ohio, roughly, and you get countless different accents and dialects of English for a start, showing the lack of assimilation throughout the centuries.

    Add in the fact that they have their own soccer, rugby & cricket teams (like wales and N. Ireland while we're at it) and it's very easy for the Scots to have a sense of Scottish identity, rather than British identity, and there's a feeling among a lot of the population (about half, judging by recent polls) that they want Scotland to be run by the scottish, not some 'English Toffs in London'

    That's what I decided to do! You should spend your time on this post, instead:

  • Os is setting up an XBox Madden league...

  • How odd, I put a certain board member on "ignore",

    and challenge the libs on the board to post their own subjects...

    and they leave en masse and lurk.

    See? I nailed it. Without the personal attacks, they don't/won't have

    anything to say about all the current scandals and failures of this

    corrupt regime.

    Once again, they can't control the non-liberal message on the board,

    and they take their ball and go home.

    The rest of us, we care, we're interested, and we bitch about the way things are

    politically regardless of who is president.

    When they come back, and feign indignance over a lack of transparency, "lies", "failures",

    and wars and the economy and race relations... it will only be when the pres is a republican.

    I'll be right here to call it again.

    If the republicans put forth the same quality of presidential candidates, it may be quite a while.

  • Frankly guys I don't give a fuck about Obama the Liberals marauding Negros or the Xbox one as far as this thread is concerned. I thought the secession of Scotland was it interesting subject.

    Don't we have enough other threads to talk about those topics?

    Too many. Last polls I saw had 'No' ahead by about 5 points, which would mean staying in the UK. It's probably better that they do, but it's quite startling that there's that much anti-UK sentiment.

    On a related note, the same people that want Scotland to be out of the UK - "Scotland for the scots, by the scots" are probably the same people that would not stand to be in the EU, so I wonder whether they'd have a referendum on joining the EU, or if they'd stay out.

    Further, there are a lot of big businesses that have said that if Scotland leaves the UK they'd relocate from Edinburgh to London, including Royal Bank of Scotland.
