Polls are closed now, so there's no point in rehashing the arguments. One question:
Did you vote, and if so will you be up for a bit of a drunken roam while we wait for the result?

So I figure that tomorrow the people who want to get out from under the Queen and her banking system will suddenly realize the folly that democracy is

The proposed Scottish navy is close in size to that of Norway which holds a similer sized oil field. So, yes.
However defense of the oil field isnt really the priority of a naval force they are more used for border control and policing of the fishing industry. |

As someone unrelated to this referendum what is the reason Scotland suddenly wanted out of the UK? I keep seeing this on the news lately and didn't pay much heed to it. |

Salmond won the Scottish parliament election and an independence ballot was part of his manifesto (people only voted for them because they are fed up with the other parties), he has spent the last few years taking every opportunity to badmouth the "evil English" in an attempt to sow hatred but thankfully enough people saw just how destructive splitting up the nation would be.
Generally the Scots hate Salmond just as much as everyone else but they did run a much better campaign then the no side despite giving no info and having basically everyone in charge of anything from all around the world say its a bad idea (apart from North Korea, Kim seems to be a fan).
In the end though this could be a good thing as it looks like the other parts of the uk will be getting more local powers so I guess we can thank the Scots for that. Maybe the North East can finally get a motorway and an electrified east coast line Join Bat Country today and defend the Glorious Socialist Dictatorship |

I had loved to see how they'd changed the Union Jack if Scotland had left. Without the diagonal white lines and without the blue background it would have looked kind of odd... I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

But, if they want out, can't they just move somewhere else?
The EU puts a rather strong emphasis on your right to travel freely wherever you want... Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Personally, in terms of intellectual curiosity, I was looking forward to the possibility of an independent Scotland's economy collapsing and then seeing Englander's desire to re-build Hadrian's wall (electrified and mined of course) to keep out the 3rd world Scots from taking jerbs from good Englishmen and from freeloading on the English taxpayer by sneaking across the border to take advantage of the English social programs and economic success.
What would an English Tea Party be called?
But mostly I wanted to see who would gain/keep control of the oil fields.

The Navy has been mentioned, it's not likely the larger ships would have made it to a Scottish navy. They could not support them. However some patrol vessels would have gone across. My main concern however would have been Trident. Moving nuclear weapons to a new base would have been expensive. I am pleased Scotland voted no so Trident can stay where it is and the armed forces can have a more secure deal come next year.
Two supercarriers pretty much secure now, yay. May not be like the size of the US supercarrier fleet but I am sure 2 more Nato Supercarriers will be welcomed all round with the Russians kicking off.
TLDR-Not able to vote but glad things went the way they did. I drain ducks of their moisture for sustenance. |

I'm pretty sure the only reason the US has 10 supercarriers is just giant F-U to every other navy.
To be completely honest I can't think of a reason to have ten of them when other superpowers like Russian only have like...5? I think. Sorta like a Oh you have a carrier? WE HAVE TEN!
Also a carrier is only as good as the Fighter jets it can field, and F/A-18F is getting old, and from what I've read the new F-35 isn't really a 'stealth' fighter to start with, mainly because Russian and Chinese Radar can still pick them up. And the F-22 is only invisible to the radar if it's in front, but it's totally visible from behind.
So go team USA on building a multi billion aircraft that can't even do the job it's intended to do.
I love my country. XD
On the note of Scotland independence, all I can say is that if the majority thought it better to remain apart of the UK then good for them. But the vote was like what? 32 to 31? Or something really close like that? #DeleteTheWeak |

My uncle, aunt and several cousins near Aberdeen all voted "NO"... thoroughly disgusted by a rather pointless exercise in politics by a bunch of pseudo-intellectual who only want to see themselves cast in bronze someday...
With the European Union hip deep in it's own debt and bureaucratic mismanagement, a "civil war" in the Ukraine and various other global issues affecting where an indepedent Scotland would find itself -- it looks like the Scottish penchant for common sense won through all the glory-mongering rhetoric.
The most ridiculous part was the BBC (web site) featuring articles about what the Scottish separatist leaders allegedly learned from Quebec Separatists here in Canada. Funny how those BBC website articles citing Quebec separatism pretty much disappeared once the vote was trending soliding to the "NO".
Judging by the vote, looks like all they learned from the PQist intelligentsia was how to alienate the middle class with their bogus rhetoric and petty elitism.
Again, and thankfully, the Scottish values of common sense and patience won the day.
