K.T Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I'll be voting Yes.It's early days, but the previously staunch No voters at my work seem to be coming away with a few comments indicating they are now undecided if not actually supporting independence. I'm trying not to actively debate anything with them this time. But if they're already seeing the light then that's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DublinMagyar Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 There is NOTHING stopping the next generation of young people cracking on and creating the next Apple or whatever. They don't need permission and they certainly don't need the approval or trust of older people. The truth is that we don't really have people of the calibre required to produce these types of global companies of ANY age. Our cultural attitude, mindset, or whatever you want to call it is the issue. We are not positive enough. We don't have enough belief. We have a "chip on shoulder" culture, a love for putting people in their place and taking real pleasure in the failures of others. You don't even need to travel far to see it. You can see plenty of evidence for it on this forum. Until this changes we will struggle. BTW plenty of major corporations have been started by people of all ages. Colonel Sanders was in his 60's for a start. ALL age groups need to get the collective finger out and make an independent Scotland work. I am open to persuasion but personally I believe that if we had this type of person in our country we would be seeing evidence of it. Thank you, Mr Brightside.

Granny Danger Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Just looked at the NO voters in the poll. The usual combination of arseholes and folk I don't recognise. Oh and ICTChris! Do any P&Brs know a poster that they assumed was a good guy and turned out to be a NO voter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 ICTChris has always danced about the vote on here. A total shitebag who I'm surprised even took an option in this poll as he was so determined to seem on the fence. But then, we always knew shitebags are more likely to vote No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
