Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Hate to correct you, but I don't think any nation has declared independence from "England", not even America. You guys declared independence from the UK, and so are the Scots (hopefully).

In a society that is becoming jaded with politics and politicians, what are the chances that they can sustain this campaign? Will it do more harm than good calling it so early?

BBC News - Scottish independence: One million Scots urged to sign 'yes' declaration

I think that people lie to themselves if they think that signing a declaration will win them their independence.

Someone asked me: Should England go independent? Break up the Union completely?
Take away the whole 'United Kingdom' and replace it with the 'Kingdoms of Britain'?
Thoughts?
