Should Scotland be independent country?

Should Scotland be independent country?

OH thats a tough one and one very close to my heart. Where I am totally for Scottish independence they are in a tough spot. I love Scotland and the Scottish people and would like to see them as the proud independent nation they once were. The problem is that england has tied up most of their natural resources and commited a lot of their industry into long term contracts binding them to tariff and excise free rights of trade. So financially it could be disasterous but morally rewarding.

Why is the "world strongest man" called a world strongest man, and not the weightlifting Olympic champion? Does it require a man to carry a heavy stone from point A to point B fastest before he can accieve the title of worlds strongest man?

First off it's a nomenclature designed to draw interest and relate imagery back to the old days of circus strongmen. Secondly the olympic weightlifters are only good in two motions hence the reason the powerlifters dominate the strongman competitions and not the oly lifters. Besides I find a 1000lb deadlift or squat much more impressive than a 500lb clean and jerk. Plus having done all three I will say that strongman requires the most raw power, coordination, and strength of the three.

*edit to add thoughts*

Also the WSM competition isn't nearly as good as the IFSA strongman series. WSM is more about letting marius win by being agile rather than being powerful. This is the reason Savikas dominates ifsa and marius is a second tier competitor there.

All the reason to be independent. All those resources , taxes and fees should be paid to Scotland - they would make them a very wealthy independent country. They would then have lower tax rates and a booming economy.

England would suck by comparison.

No bloody way. Scottish Parliament - just another fucking gravy train for additional pointless arsehole politicians to pass more pointless legislation.

Subsidies from the English taxpayer > revenue from natural resources. Financially disastrous indeed, we'd be in poverty like the Irish a couple decades back.
