I said you can have the opinion. But rights over the independence of the Scots? None so far, and with the scots being careful to approach through purely peaceful means, almost eliminates the "preserve the Union through violence" approach.
Can you truly integrate a people who do not want to be integrated, who consider themselves seperate? Probably not, so if it turns out the the Scottish majority is like that, then keeping within the United Kingdom is a disservice to both the UK and the Scots, as neither will work with each other like countrymen.
Integration is one thing-I think that the Scotsman are well integrated into *British* society. Assimilation is another. The Scottish people, along with the Irishmen...They already have a strong national identity, too strong to be absorbed into the British identity as whole as some of the other, historical inhabitants of Britain have assimilated into the *English* identity.
I lol'd at Naps post, wondered if he was mad or just in misread mode, thankfully the latter.
Excellent post Mehmet, 100% accurate.
