AYE! England forever - SCOTLAND JUST A WEE BIT LONGER!
Seriously - If Scotland was not part of Great Britain, it would have the 5th largest economy in the world (North Sea oil-driven.) So today, just as it was before 1314, and then again after the Treaty of Union, England sucks the life out of Scotland...

Sorry....America should be for Americans...or those WANTING to be American, Not anti-American slime that wish to destroy the foundation this country was built on (life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness). Want to know the facts? Most modern day immigrants/aliens are anti-American slime seeking to destroy this country from within. My source? Look around a major metropolitan area sometime. Want another source? Remember what happened on 9/11.
And as far as PREJUDICE goes...those who are combat veterans fought for the AMERICAN's right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, not for these slimeball/liberal/victimized/3rd world immigrant extorters who only seek handouts or are here to cause trouble or are here to promote their ANTI-American agenda.
My point? Get your facts straight and wake up to reality.
And that is a false and bigoted statement. You are Exhibit "A" exemplying the problem. Folks like you make me ashamed to be associated with conservatism to the extent I am. I want nothing to do with you, and will oppose you at every turn.
In nations like Scotland the pie is finite or growing slowly at best. Has been this way for decades. The place is depressed. Bringing in immigrants benefits the Scots not all unless they are educated and able to contribute to vital industries. Opening a shop, a laundromat, an ethnic restaurant or 7-11 does not help the Scottish economy.
