Do you support it?

Scotland is smaller than 40 of our states, so like many European countries it's of little consequence.

Many of Parliament's Labor votes are Scots. With a more Tory government, the remaining U.K. will more eagerly join the U.S. in torture wars.

Good news!

I love the idea of an independent Scotland. My guess is, however, after a few decades of having to pay for their own generous welfare state, they will seek reunification. And if Scotland goes, so does the Labour Party. The right will be UKIP and the left will be the Tories.

Fascinating. The closest parallel of which I can think is the dissolution of Czechoslovakia. It turned out to be good for both countries. I hope it does here as well.

I'm more interested in seeing what becomes of the Union Jack than I am in Scottish independence. If they want it, have at it.

March 24, 2016 targeted as Scottish Independence Day should the Yes vote win. Some pollsters predicting that it will by as much as 8-10%.

And I thought American elections were crooked.

Shouldn't that be "Poll of Poles?"

When they get done here, the Union Jack is going to look like a Red Cross blood drive banner.

Well, I must say I'm disappointed. A new country would have been amusing.

I'm surprised the Off Topic section hasn't demanded its independence from the Blazer forum.

It's the other way around; the Blazer forum wants the OT section to secede.

Instead of mod elections we could hold a liberal vs conservative knife fight in a dark alley.

Do we have enough long knives to give all the conservatives... err, "independents" here?

Ha! I'm guessing that won't be the problem with this idea.

Don't be silly--they've got their own. That said, they prefer gun fights.

Is that a Nazi reference?

This meme is my favorite. That somehow all of us on the right must fit into a nice little "conservative" box, being chained to an entire platform written by the GOP, while those on the left are free to dismiss any policy of the Democrats and call themselves "free thinkers".

For the record, the only political party to which I have ever belonged is the Democratic Party. Yet, because I grew up and realized unicorns aren't real, I must be an evil conservative and GOP party stalwart.

Gotcha. Great stuff.

Answer the fucking question, do you want to be in the knife fight? I for one am looking forward to stabbing Barfo.

Step right up! Line forms to the right. No pushing! Careful of the gushing blood, that green stuff will NOT come out of clothing.
