There is very little coverage of the upcoming vote for Scottish independence here in the US and what little coverage is crap.

Voted Very Hard!

FREEDOM FOR SCOTLAND!
VOTE YES!

Scotland is already free, if it wasn't it wouldn't get to choose for itself whether to stay part of the Union.

That is an overly simplistic view of what it means to be "free". Just saying.

Oh thank you so much Westminster for allowing us Scots to determine whether or not we can choose to be free through the ballot rather than the bullet! So kind and benevolent!

And that's an overly dramatic view of the relationship between England and Scotland. Just saying.

I have no problem with Scotland choosing to leave the Union if that's what the majority want (no problem with them choosing to stay either), but pretending that you aren't free is a little over the top. Everyone in the UK has to live by the laws of whoever the majority has voted in whether they like it or not - I lived with thirteen years of Thatcherism, even though I didn't agree with it and my family didn't vote for it, but we didn't claim that we weren't free just because the majority disagreed with us.

Anyway, good luck to Scotland, whichever way the vote goes.

Voted, and if I could vote there I would clearly vote YES.

i vote by alex and ria is a vote for racism

who's ria?

isnt that what you call your she side ria like in victorvictoria

alex-and-ria ya silly boy

i would thought it would be other way around after all british people get free medical care the dole etc. what will a 5 million economy be able to provide you? also why as american do you care? how does this relate to detroit where you life? i cant remember exactly but i think it was detroit.

Why do you care about Ireland as you live in Africa? We each have our own reasons as to what we care about in eRepublik.

why do you? our opinion is of the same worth you being and american me an african. your heritage does not give you a say in the matter. or is it because i am an african that i cannot voice my opinion?

Why do I care about Ireland? HMMM. Let's see. 4 plus years of hard work in building up the military, the MoC, working in Congress 28 times, and fighting for our nation whenever and where ever needed.

As I know English is not your first tongue I will clarify. You saying Colin can't care about Scotland as he lives in the US is hypocritical since you claim to care about Ireland and live in Africa.

My comment in defense of Colin also hold true for you. You do see that right?

I like how you try to play the race card but it won't work on me. I am not racist. I have multiple ethnicities in my family so color does not mean a dam thing to me. It matters what is under the skin my friend.
