    we are not haters, we only speak out against the dastardly methods employed by the above mentioned states when they do geopolitics.

    Nonsense, as I said brits should not throw stones at anyone, good or bad, as their own country is a war criminal many times over. I absolutely did not imply that the targets of their stone throwing are, although of course in their (Brits') mind that's the case. Grow up, your childish gotcha attempts are wishful thinking of a lousy debater, nothing more.

    Some people are plainly ill informed particularly when they think that "Brtis and Scots" are different

    If they speak the same language, then they have to be culturally similar, especially in relation to those who don't. :oldman:

    that's for a different reason, but they should have seen the tribulations caused by Brit agents actions on Russian soil, for example.

    You have not been keeping up with things it would seem. Just about everyone has got themselves on the electoral roll and we are expecting an 80% turnout. The Yes vote only needs a swing of 3.1% - very achievable.

    Too close to call at the moment.

    P.S I am sooooo hoping Westminster sticks with no financial Union. I will be so glad for Scotland not to have to cart around Westminster made debt for generations to come. ;)

    Yes I have and no I wouldn't expect an 80% turnout as people sign on to the electoral roll for several reasons which don't pertain to voting.
    That's your view
    I think you're confused as to the meaning of a currency union which is what Salmond is insistent upon.
    Not a financial union.

    Scottish or Scots. Never 'Scotch'-especially if you're in Scotland-it's seen as a pejorative, harking back to ancient English/Scottish rivalries. You'd never leave Glasgow in one piece...:wink:

    No this is to do with voting in the most important ballot we have had in 300 years. You obviously do not get much information on things in England.
    No, that is the latest polls.
    I am very aware of what Salmond is talking about...a lot more than you it would seem. No currency union, no taking on UK debts. Easy. Best result I think given that I have heard it will never be written off. Just a bit more for you guys to deal with. ;)

    That's different, and certain things like whisky, Scotch eggs (you really don't want to know!) are grammatically 'of Scotland'.

    Yes I do. As I've said people register on the electoral for other reasons like if you're applying for a mortgage for example.

    I say it's rubbish.

    It doesn't work like that. Tell me something have you studied economics?
    And you've confused both a financial and currency union neither of which is the same.

    What do you think is more relevant in the real world, the respectable poll results or what you think? However even deluded people are entitled to their opinion. It counts for nothing though. :smile:

    You give an uninformed opinion rather than an educated assessment and then suggest informed comment is a personal opinion - like your own.

    If this was just left in the haphazard way that for instance EU elections are, the Yes vote would win hands down. People are going to the polls. Not only that people who have never voted on anything in their lives are voting. They are still getting them signed up this weekend.

    Now on expected turnout

    http://www.theguardian.com/politics...-pro-independence-group-yes-vote-alex-salmond

    That was what I found on doing a search but it has appeared many times first as what people hoped for and now what is expected.

    Further the Yes, Campaign has been busy waking up those who never vote

    Silver Surfer has answered this. Seriously you cannot talk about things unless you know. We do not live on a person's opinion being the correct answer. We rely often on opinions yes, they are valid but they must be based on valid criteria. A poll a few days ago shows that the Better Together Lead of 13 percent has been reduced to 6. That means that to win, the yes campaign only needs another 3.1% Got it yet?

    http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/08/29/scottish-independence-poll-yes-boost_n_5734780.html

    or better odds for yes here

    http://radicalindependence.org/2014/08/19/radical-independence-campaign-18k-canvass-sample-released/

    Again, total ignorance arguing supremacy

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-28943041

    This has been said since Westminster went against the agreed rules and said they would not share the pound with us. You clearly have not been following the Independence debate at all.

    Now please know what you are saying next time. I am not here to be your tutor.

    That doesn't make sense.

    Really then show where it says that voter registration suddenly shot up to 80%
    The guardian article doesn't say as to who expects an 80% turnout.

    These articles don't prove anything.
    You seem to.
    Mine is.
    You seriously expect that 80% of people will turn out based upon how many people are registered is ludicrous.
    If you've actually been paying attention you'll find that polls often go up and down. Have you got it yet?

    Ignorance? Coming from you that's rich.


    No and now you're being misleading particularly with that BBC article

    You have the manners of a pig and precious little of an education.
    As I asked have you studied economics?

    Meanwhile in the real world where adults live, things have changed rather dramatically. It's all open now. Anything is possible. Incidentally, it appears that some posters here really need tutoring.

    Oh the irony of you using those words.
    I'm willing to bet on the outcome of the referendum. I've already made an offer to Alexa and I want to extend it to you as well.
