I'm a strong believer in the right of people to live free but from what I understand, the leader of the SNP is a deceptive asshat.
I agree, he is an asshat, and I've met him..
Scottish independence will be a good thing, simply tarnishing the reputation of the rest of the UK
I think you fail to realize the accomplishments Scotland has actually done, and things people use everyday.
Some examples, Bicycles, TV, coloured TV, flush toilet (What would we do without that) Docks (Where they build ships using cranes etc.) the Canal, Refrigerator, Colour photography, the Telephone, the Train, Incandescent light bulb, even sports such as Golf, Rugby sevens, Shinty, Curling Football/Soccer (Although many debate this, to Chinese monks beheading people and playing some football with their head as an act of shame or English making it) and Cycling.
There is more, Medical and forms of heating and many Scientific discoveries and inventions, so saying you would be better off without the Scottish in the first place means you may lose many things, though some may also come up with the idea. Your argument is therefore invalid
