    lol. if 40 years and 2 failed votes along with 90% of the PQ not being voted in again last spring, didn't shut them up about it a failed Scotland vote wont.

    I'm waiting on the excuses they come up with to show that Scotland isn't the same as Quebec and that Quebec still has a chance at interdependence.

    Why are you guys so hostile to the idea of decentralized government, if I may ask?
  • TMonstaTMonsta
    I am just against Quebec.
  • VulpesVulpes
    decentralizing government? because if the equivelant happened in america with states splitting there would be thousands lol
  • loaferyloafery
    United we fall divided we stand
  • SkyDragonXSkyDragonX
    Decentralizing government just makes it seem like we're going back in time rather than forward. I'm hoping to see the day when there is one world government with all nations fairly represented and all borders removed.
  • loaferyloafery
    Like the eu?
  • DarubianDarubian
    No matter the decision of each individual Scotland as a whole should be proud.

    Personally I'm happy they voted no. With the constant instability of the euro I feel relieved.

    A government that powerful is frightening. You could kiss any ideas of freedom goodbye. Maybe you are into people telling you what to do, but me...not so much
  • media_freakmedia_freak
    one all powerful government would mean that if one official that is corrupt or not working in the public's best interest affects everyone. Also its harder for people to believe is something that is so far removed from them.
  • UnreliableUnreliable
    governments should just be a symbolic power core...

    all decisions must be made based on science only and thats enough.
  • AzalieoAzalieo
    you seriously make my head hurt
  • DamdredDamdred
    Unreliable hurts my head, that statement makes no sense politically
  • media_freakmedia_freak
    I think I see where he is going with that but its cramping my mind.
  • AzalieoAzalieo
    i, personally, would like to live in a world where the only laws were natural law (more or less the non aggression principle) and governments run by corporations (or vice versa) no longer had the power to control our lives and send us into pointless wars at their whim. i no longer believe that its just a dream. i think that with information comes power, and the internet is making information available to everyone, big or small. i hope my descendants are able to look back and laugh at how silly humans were in my time, letting ourselves be controlled by others.

    That's a very uneducated statement. One would only need to asks "Who determines the science relevant to what any particular society needs?"...
