  • I have never played Madden. I don't own an XBox. It's unlikely I'll join.

    Huh?

  • 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.

    Sorry I was doing exactly what I was complaining about a few posts back.

    I don't see it being an economical advantage, even if they have a great plan to go forward with the mere questions regarding how things would work afterward would encourage businesses to not invest in the country. I am sure a few companies like Chris mentioned would jump ship and relocate(unless they where guaranteed huge tax breaks or something).

  • of course my knowledge of the situation is miniscule but besides that adolescent feeling of wanting to move out of dads house I wonder what the advantages might be?

    for instance I could understand if Texas or California might want to split off. They have enough stuff going on and they could be self sufficient. Well at least Texas since California is too dependent on the government tit.

    But it doesn't seem to me as if Scotland is being bled dry financially by the crowd? It actually seems to be the opposite.

  • Scotland would have access to large swathes of oil and gas reserves in the north sea, and there's a decent amount of finance/tech going on up there. They would be fine, but it's not like we're holding them back, as you say.

    I think you hit the nail on the head, wanting to move out of Dad's house.

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