Thumper Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Does no one get suspicious when someone changes their mind after one conversation? It only takes a cup of tea, apparently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaven Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 It only takes a cup of tea, apparently! To ones self. That one conversation could possibly be the one and only time they have put any thought into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Genuine conversation I just overheard between two lassies at work. "I've decided to vote Yes" "Why's that?" "Because f**k it, that's why" I think there will be a lot of undecided people who get to the polling booth and go with that approach. It's a very Scottish attitude if you ask me.

Desp Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I think there will be a lot of undecided people who get to the polling booth and go with that approach. It's a very Scottish attitude if you ask me. Agreed. "Why should Scotland be Independent?" "Why the f**k not?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Quitely Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I think there will be a lot of undecided people who get to the polling booth and go with that approach. It's a very Scottish attitude if you ask me. Irvine Welsh alluded to that very thing last week, and you get the feeling that if someone was a conviction No voter then they'd have reached that decision a long time ago. Of course, there will also be those who shite it in the polling booth and change their mind about voting Yes, but they will be outweighed I reckon. The wording of the ballot paper has been carefully crafted in all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkoRaj Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I had someone say to me that they had looked at all the facts and still couldn't work out whether the benefits outweighed the risks and were right on the fence but were so enthused by the "political awakening" in Scotland that we're should vote yes so that it's not been for nothing and we don't just go back to political apathy like before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Agreed. "Why should Scotland be Independent?" "Why the f**k not?" 'Should Scotland be an independent country?' 'How?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confidemus Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Genuine conversation I just overheard between two lassies at work. "I've decided to vote Yes" "Why's that?" "Because f**k it, that's why" That's fucking tremendous. It does raise a valid point. 150 countries have declared their independence since WW2. Why the f**k not us?

Antiochas III Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 TBH I believe, although it won't be a large amount but there will be some people that go to the polling station to vote no, and when got their changed their mind and put a cross in the box for yes for the simple reason of "why the f**k not" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casual Bystander Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 So has this been linked yet: http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/yes-scotland-takeover-schoolboy-reveals-4167469 Funnily enough the usual "look, see, we told you!" that has proliferated in the comments section of the negative stories are now replaced with "this is drivel who wrote this shit" ..

sons superhero Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 As stated before at work there are 6 of us and it was 50/50 yes/no. But today things have changed we have a new starter who says he is yes and a no has converted to yes. So score is 5 yes 2 no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confidemus Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Credit must be given to Confidemus. After reading one particular post (sadly I can't remember where) it swung my favour towards Yes. I must thank him for that. A lot of others on here have helped me make my mind up and I thank them too for making a difficult decision a lot easier to make. So much for the nawbags claim that P&B doesn't influence people, eh? It's became increasingly clear to me over the past six months that a Yes vote is the ONLY viable vote. Why on earth would you want to maintain a status quo that favours the gains of the few over the needs of the many as opposed to a bright, vibrant and exciting future full of opportunities?

Blaven Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I changed from an undecided probably no voter to a Yes voter, largely due to my mistrust of Westminster politicians. Voting Yes seems to be an opportunity to get our own politicians that can act in the best interests of Scotland and have full power without having to appease their Westminster colleagues. This must be a good thing. If we don't like the way the Scottish government is being run by a particular party, then at the next election we can vote them out. We can decide our own future and bring Scotland forward instead of always being under the thumb, so to speak. An interesting letter in my local newspaper stated that if the writer was English, he/she would not be happy with the current deal Scotland gets. The writer raised the question that in the future what is to stop England from asking for independence from the rest of the UK once she has pillaged our resources? Credit must be given to Confidemus. After reading one particular post (sadly I can't remember where) it swung my favour towards Yes. I must thank him for that. A lot of others on here have helped me make my mind up and I thank them too for making a difficult decision a lot easier to make. Always a pleasure to read your posts Stinky Bone.
