“More than anything else, culture defines a country. “
Unless, of course, it is the United States. We are not allowed to celebrate our own culture.
The choice is that of the Scots. Hope it goes well, however they vote.

Starting to more clearly understand the Jeopardy parody skits where Sean Connery is portrayed dumb-as-a-rock.

Mr. GQ: good looks, low IQ.

I remember on one of the Scotland episodes of Rick Steves' Travels in Europe program, he spoke with a Scotsman about the national identity of Scots. Rick said "so you consider yourself Scottish first, and British second?" The Scot answered "I consider myself Scottish first and Scottish second."

I guess it's a Scottish thing and we wouldn't understand.

I am always amazing by the selfish people that think no people have a right to self determination by being their own independent country yet...call themselves ‘conservatives’.

Says the “Scot” who hasn’t lived in Scotland - or the UK for that matter in decades. If it’s so great why doesn’t he move back there.

"Here are Scotland's terms. Lower your flags, and march straight back to England, stopping at every home to beg forgiveness for 100 years of theft, rape, and murder. Do that and your men shall live. Do it not, and every one of you will die today."

"A culture defines a country"

Absolutely right. The downfall of America can be traced to its cultural suicide, starting with the 1965 Immigration Act when the demonic Ted Kennedy crafted a way for the Progressives to win a final victory by barring European immigrants and importing the entire Third World to undermine and eventually destroy our own Judeo-Christian culture, born of the European Enlightenment. Clinton and Bush accelerated this demise with massive importations of Muslims. And Obama has blown it wide open, relishing the flood of unskilled Third Worlders who don't even speak Spanish, let alone English.

We did this to ourselves. I envy the Scots.

Just curious where Sean Connery keeps the millions he earned as a Hollywood A level star.

Be careful what you wish for. The battle of Culloden was 267 years ago and that is a lot of change, integration and blurring of two sets of national interests. The clans were essentially destroyed and with that the sense of identity and fealty to the local lords, lands and traditions. At the least that has been weakened over the centuries whether the Scots realize it or not.

I have little doubt that many Scots still feel the devotion to a free Scotland that lost true force when the Jacobite rebellion was put down but Scotland as a whole has moved on to integration over all those years just as other national groups such as the German States, the Frankish kingdoms, the kingdoms of Italy.

The many economic and social ties to Britain may not or will not last and in the end there may be more downsides than upsides to a split.

Wouldn’t be the first time but again, it is their choice. They just need to be ready to live with any bad that comes with the good.

There’s an excellent BBC scotland program on youtube about
“who owns scotland”. Turns out that the largest estates in scotland (that is, most of scotland) is held by titled inheritance. The title to the land is ultimately held by the English Crown. So there is that bit of “settling up” to be done for the transfer into private hands. One of the large landholders is a Danish soccer star, who has to pay taxes on the land not only to scotland, but also to Denmark. Imagine that!

The quintessential Bond. All others were mere pretenders.

But he chooses to live in the Bahamas rather than Scotland. Hmmm...
