The scots tired of having their own parliament already?


Stupidity Should Always be Painful

 

the only thing that helps me maintain my slender grip on reality is the friendship I share with my collection of singing potatoes.

If Scotland leaves, what prevents Ireland from doing so?


Ocram's Razor: Though "more things shouldn't be used than are necessary," they're just too fun to pass up! Expect many verbose arguments from me. I will try to write abstracts before or short summaries after from now on.

Words to live by:
"Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit... But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually..." 1 Corinthians 4-11

"Do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34
"Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you." Matthew 7:1-3

Ireland (State of Eire) is not part of the U.K. Only some of the Northern Counties. Scotland can do as it likes, but what's the point? The North Sea oil?

At the time of the Act of Union, who benefited? Before that were not the Scottish ports shut out of international trade? Did not the Scottish style of architecture become the main design in much of the City of London. Was it not Scots who were instrumental in some of the most important advances in engineering?

There has been a lot of mutual benefit. Isn't it about time for the Scots to forget the '45 and stop pining for that Frenchified poltroon?

I wonder what the results of the referendum, either for or against an independent Scotland, would mean for the Welsh independence movement, and England's position towards that.


To search for the ideal city today is useless. For all cities are different. Each one has its own spirit, its own problems, and its own pattern of life. As long as the city lives, these aspects continue to change. Thus to look for the ideal city is not only a waste of time but may be seriously detrimental. In fact, the concept is obsolete; there is no such thing.
