Anyone watching the STV coverage with the walloper thinking he's making a statement standing behind Salmond whilst struggling to hold a Union Jack in the wind?
Seriously?
Britnats are abhorrent.

I'm a reluctant no. I really want to vote yes but one of my family members will lose their job in the event of independence.
Morbid.
Go on...

Let's also take a moment to think about the SCENES if Scotland does indeed vote yes. Parties in the street etc and we will be absolute box office around the globe: "Scotland wins historic independence referendum".
Now just take a moment to imagine a "no" vote: "Scotland says no to taking matters into its own hands". It would be utterly shan.
Don't forget you will get an extra day off school/college/university/work each independence day anniversary.

It's a yes from me.
This is the most exciting political choice we will ever make in Scotland. It's a chance to create a country from first principles. We've got so much potential and so much ability. It won't be easy, and it won't happen overnight, but we've got the chance to radically remake Scotland here.
People talk about it 'being a disaster' or 'we couldn't afford it'. I disagree. I call a country where 20% of children grow up in poverty a disaster. I call a country that spends billions on nuclear weapons while people use foodbanks a disaster. Literally all the politicians agree that Scotland is financially capable of becoming independent. If that's the case, then it's simply a question of priorities, and how you organise your spending.
People can have differing opinions on Salmond, and that's fine, because the vote isn't about him, but he made a quote that sums up how I feel about independence.
'Bairns, not bombs.'

They're in the top 5/6 nations in the world right now
Without Scotland, they'd be reduced to above average at best.
lol wut
Explain to me how England, Wales and Norn Ireland are "in the top 5/6 nations in the world right now".
Be very specific in your answer.
The UK is more militarily and economically powerful than Japan and at worst on an equal footing with France. Germany is more economically powerful than us, but militarily definitely not.
Mentioning the UK as "us" I see.
I'm voting no. I'd like to see more powers devolved to the Scottish parliament, but for Scotland to still have representation in the United Kingdom.

Undecided/no voters should take a look at the comments section here. As usual, there doesn't seem to be an awful lot of love from our fellow "UK family".
