Scary Bear Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Looking at both sides in the run in to the big vote, I have to honestly say that I cannot come to a conclusion on if we are better together or better as an independent country. Mostly, because of the complete contempt and lack of confidence in politics and its ugly processes in the world. Many people that I have discussed with my opinions have told me that a not voting is a vote against their respective views, which I find to be incredibly intolerant to my views, as if I haven't thought about it and I am incapable of having a capacity to make my own mind up on things. Both side's supporters, particularly the Independence side have a very aggressive, forceful and judging by Mr Hosie and Ms Davidson on the BBC the other night, a very condescending attitude to their respective opponents. Both Sides also have indicated continuing/joining the EU, and it baffles me when both sides talking about a negotiation of power when they both advocate taking part in an organisation wherein we have a president most of the population couldn't even tell you his name who passes laws that aren't admissible to anyone in the regions affected but lets not go into that. I honestly cannot wait until these 'campaigners' of both sides either go back to work, college or go back to watching their daytime TV. The whole thing has gotten rather. Americanis(z)ed, cringeworthy and quite frankly the most distasteful. I love Scotland, but I also love England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Spain, France and so on. Call me a cynic, call me small minded or whatever, but IF I did register to vote and had to, if I REALLY had to, it would probably come down to who's arty farty supporters I dislike the most. Sounds like you should draw a cock on the ballot paper. Maybe some spunk or piss coming out the tip. Three drips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarshallMathers Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I was born in Scotland, yet I can't vote because I live in England. How wrong is that? Blame the yesnp for that. Foreigners get to vote though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarshallMathers Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 If you're undecided that means you shouldn't bother voting at all. Don't be stupid. This is about should Scotland go independant. If people are undecided about that, that means they're unconvinced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bairn Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 You should vote No. The burden of proof lies with yes Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banterous Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 So when did you start off supporting Celtic? Who was the first player that impressed you? 80's. Murdo or McStay. You support Falkirk? Where you at the 4-5 game at Brockville? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 80's. Murdo or McStay. You support Falkirk? Where you at the 4-5 game at Brockville? No, but you've passed the preliminary vetting stage. Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banterous Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 No, but you've passed the preliminary vetting stage. Congratulations! You support the Bairns though? That 4-5 game was the best game of football I've ever seen anywhere. 2 red cards, coming back from 4-2 down, ref getting downed with a coin and a winner in the dying seconds. That's what the fitba should be like every week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kincardine Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Blame the yesnp for that. Foreigners get to vote though. Why should you get to decide how our country is run when you would rather build your life somewhere else? Ah thank f**k. After a near-decade on P&B I can see two utter fannies from opposite sides being united in ignorance and can, at last, use that delightful expression: ^^^^two cheeks of the same arse IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
