Could you imagine the riots in America if we withheld health care to black people? Or the Hispanic community as the fussy mashers have to the scots???

Scroll down this one and look at the charts and graphs that show how (I'm dropping the term 'Great' from Britian from now on) ..how Britian has kept Scotland under it's thumb, financially, medically, and burdened with unfair taxes..
How can any who supports a government that so unfairly treats a whole nation of people, have weighed in on the social problems of America do so with out feeling like a hypocrite!?!?
How can you speak to the unfairness of How things are handled in the US when your own house is such a mess!?!
Maybe take the plank out of your own eye before you worry yourselves over the speck in ours. 
Drich, you fail so hard it's funny.
I'll speak slowly.
Just because there is an inequality in health does not mean the NHS has withheld healthcare.
Quite the reverse actually. In england we have prescription fees. That is that if your Dr prescribes you something you have to pay a flat rate of about ten dollars for it (whether it's a 2 dollar box of penicillin or a 500 dollar cancer drug). Scotland have not only free medical services in primary and secondary care, but also free prescriptions. Oh and free university tuition. Poor downtrodden souls that they are.
The health inequality owes more to the fact that Scotland invented the deep fried Mars bar!

A fucking unicorn.
That is all.
If the independence referendum fails, than the unicorn would be poignant.

I won't forgive your ignorance when you choose to base on opinion....on the "ignorance" you've just chosen to beg forgiveness for.
Stick to race issues... you seem much more up on that on that...what was that line about "burdening yourself with.."
Maybe not.

Here I thought I was on an atheist forum. Where the proof you all are all so buggered about?
I guess proof only matters when you don't want to believe something, and no proof is needed when you do want to believe.

Because the voices in your head are not audible to me, so I dont have the first idea what "unfair taxes" you're talking about. Neither I suspect do you. By all means drich, tell me what taxes are "unfair" to the Scottish. What do they have to pay which I don't.

You know what, 2nd place is solid. That's a medal and a picture on the podium. Good for them.

Can't argue with that.
Best not to argue with Scottish people anyway. The cliché is not entirely without foundation! I got the shit kicked out of me by a scot once. Huge burly thing with red hair and arms like tree trunks. Just for spilling her drink!
