Just wanted to know how people feel over this debate?

Well Scotland wouldnt survive on their own because of many factors. These factors include

1- All the men are mistaking themeleves for women, as they wear skirts with no underwear.
2 - They would die of starvation as they constantly chase 3-legged sheep around hills thinking this is their food.
3 - It is up north, and it will be the first to be hit by a hurricane.
4 - It wouldnt have a stabalised government, as the prime minister would get done for publicly showing themselevs in the nude, and their kilts would fall down reveling his sausage.

Thats my theory of why Scotland cannot survive on its own.

Nay. It won't happen for a few reasons. For a start Scottish telly after independence would be rubbish.

1. did you know that Scottish men were force during WW1 by English soldiers to wear there Kilts in the trenches. and in doing so their knees would be slit open with the ice gathered around the hem, thus subjecting them to more illnesses

2. 3 legged sheep!! hmm at least we don't force our kids to sing Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep instead of Baa Baa Black sheep.

3. Already got hit by a Category 5 Hurricane in January 2007!! 156mph wind and Survived!!!!

4. At least we don't have, quote. "a one eyed scottish idiot" who only pretends to be scottish when it suits him running the country!!!

That's My theory of why Scotland needs to be SET FREE!!!

I dot know much about it! So let me ask you, what would be the economic ramifications? HOw would it affect jobs, and the value of the currency?

And secondly, how do people feel about it? If there were a referendum, would it be in favor of independance?

I dont honestly know the answer to these, so am just asking!

That's the same response that your first post deserves.

A.M.A., you can find out more here:
- Wikipedia
- The Independent

I was still living in Scotland I'd be against independence, but I live in England now so I'm not too bothered.

As a Scottish person now living in England, it's not really my place to say, but if I was still in Scotland I'd probably be against independance.

I was clearly joking.
:S

[Annie]

Very clearly!

Economy. Huge oil field which could potentially earn scotland Billions every year!!

replacing what the Thatcher years took away from Scotland and Gave to the rest of the world!!
Shipbuilding, IT, maufactured goods etc etc Jobs would more than likely increase with the way Economy would go!

Currency would more that likely change to €uro. so that it would be easier to sell oil. manufactured goods etc etc!!

It's good that yove taken an interest in the Subject!!

[Wildcat!]

I know you were Joking C! Thanks Matt for the litterature, cant be bothered now though, I will check it out later. I just wanted to know if most scottish people are for or against it! And if it would be a good thing economically!

[Annie]

I'm scottish and I know it wont work.

people like me? you have no idea about me?! How can you say that? you have no idea what my political views are. I have only told you that I do not believe that it would work. I havent mentioned anything else so do not assume that you know what KIND OF PEOPLE I AM!

[John.]

I'll Just throw Something else in to support scotland and tell you that the money earned from scottish oil subsedises everyone in the UK by the sum of Ł6000 every year. where as england is only subsedises everyone by Ł500 every year!!!

[Wildcat!]

O KAAAY!!! Never mind! Thanks for the chinese!
*exits thread in shame!*

[James]

Apart from the rubbish TV we would get (which is a big reason for most people) why would we want border controls, passports to get into England, import taxes levied against Scottish exports/English imports, restrictions on Scottish people working in England etc? All are possible if independence happened.

Looks like I am in an unpatriotic mood, lol.

[Wildcat!]

Damn! William Wallace is rolling in his grave right now!
