I'm guessing the vote didn't cross the border. Scotland got a vote earlier this year I think. Leave Britain (or the UK, whichever one) or not. 55% voted no, hence...I consider myself in the 45% (by proxy, I didnt have the money to travel to vote :()

Some ridiculous shit too. Some videos of guys walking down the street singing anti-independence songs, one some guys ripping a Scotland flag out of a crying teenage girl's hands.

I always thought "Why are people bringing British flags to Rangers games? Aren't us Scottish people inherently against Britain?" but I guess I was wrong. People go so wrapped up in some pseudo political shit that they voted no. It's funny cause I think you'd struggle to find a western country that had a major shift as a result of a political change.

Ireland fought tooth and nail for it's independence, most of Scotland voted it away. I had to deal with lads in Ireland joking that Scotland "lost" the vote. Embarrassment. The one plus side is Glasgow and everywhere around the area voted Yes. As a result, it only reaffirms my hated of anywhere else in Scotland.

In the immortal words of Groundskeeper Willie, "Brothers and sisters are natural enemies, like Englishmen and Scots, or Welsh and Scots, or the Japanese and Scots, and Scots and other Scots. Damn Scots, they ruined Scotland".

It prolly doesn't make sense since I'm not from Scotland, but this truly saddens me. I always imagined visiting Scotland and England and hoped to see two completely different countries and heritages to learn about. It seems they may be one in the same by the time I get there.
I had jess watch braveheart because I've always loved that movie and she didn't understand how much it represented what I wanted to learn about.
I fear Germany and Greece will be just as disappointing if I make it to either of those as well
