Anti-British!!!!

[Xenon]

Indeed, it is highly inconvenient for Euro countries to convert their currency when they trade with the UK, as they currently do with over twenty other European countries. Much better for the UK to just switch to the Euro, especially in these easy financial times.

In my life I’m going to have more dealings with the UK than I will with all of those silly obscure countries put together. What difference does it make if the likes of Azerbaijan use ‘manats’? They can keep their magic moon dollars for all I care. What I find objectionable is your refusal to be assimilated in the first place, like we were. Not fair. Stop this currency pussyfooting. Either join the EU properly or GTFO.

Quite right. Shame on this country for choosing to use its own currency. How unfair it is against other members of the EU and you personally that we adopted such an offensive political agenda in the first place. We should 'GTFO' indeed.

I read the history

Are you sure? I shouldn't expect too much from an avid fan of Hetalia when discussing issues like this!

I would like to inform you that Scotland isn't a character in Hetalia and that none of the British history has been covered yet. I like to reasearch this up in my own time, unlike the majority of the fandom. Also do you see talking about it all the time? I don't think so.

If i'm correct I mentioned him five time since I joined. If i'm wrong, then tell me, as I believe the idea of a forum also contains sharing your opinion.

Seven times, and you show no signs of stopping. I tire of your repetitive hateful posts. You’ve ‘shared your opinion’ of Bill O’Reilly enough times, thanks.

Join YouTube, you'll agree with me in less than a week.
I have lived in the United States for closely three years now, so I think im quite well experienced. If they are average intelligence, then why I have had conversations where people are seriously saying that Germany is 100% Nazi and that the Soviet Union is gay because it's not American.

That’s ridiculous. Every country has idiots. The average IQ of an American is approximately 100, which obviously proves you wrong.

So, you're saying that the Rayman Pirate-Community has absolutely nothing to do with entertainment?

I said that forums are places for discussion, not what you think constitutes ‘fun’. A moment ago you were saying that ‘entertainment’ was the sole purpose of all forums; I’m glad to see that you’ve softened this ridiculous position to ‘this particular forum might have something to do with entertainment’.

Yes, it is quite offensive that the UK benefits fully from its membership of the EU yet refuses to undertake the same sacrifices made by other countries such as Ireland. You should have left if you couldn’t handle what was required of you.

I absolutely can't see how euro in UK would help EU, with exception of UK being forced to help in euro-related stuff. So, this would be more like euro in UK would help Eurozone. This is not the same.

Well I'm sure most people don't feel as offended as you do about European currencies, and the UK's apparent 'requirement' to convert its Pounds to Euros.

Note the thread title...

[stan423321]

...and I thought we were actually having a nice currency discussion started by topic of independency of Scotland.

[Xenon]

@ spiral: Nah, this thread wasn't designed for serious discussions about British currency. It was designed for people to chant abuse like "Britons drink too much tea!" or "the UK is a shit little island!". The averagely intelligent poster here will recognise that the UK using the Pound is not a big deal.

[stan423321]

I have no problems about British amounts of tea, but the fact you drink it with milk is quite WTF I must say.

[Fraz]

To whom?

Actually, this is one of best answers to all such questions. I have no idea what is stuff in Scotland like, but almost surely some would benefit more than others.

To both Scotland and the UK. I mean it could be great for us but not so great for the rest of the UK or who knows it could be a win-win situation for both.

Well if you put it this England is pretty large in itself so I doubt the UK would lose out on anything serious, the most it would be is losing Scottish produce which could be solved if the UK Sets up a trade with Scotland (Which is pretty likely).

Independence is more of a pride thing than anything else, however leaving would mean that we can fully run our own country, we can have our own voice and we wouldn't have to put up with British PMs like David Cameron.

I see what you're saying, the idea of running our own country and having our own voice is definiely the attraction to independence. But still, I dunno...

It certianly wouldn't be a waste of time, nor would it be a disaster. There's no real reason for anyone to be against it, unless you really like being part of a union Scotland didn't want to be a part of in the first place.

Fair points. To be honest, I'm indifferent about it. If Scotland does become independant one day then cool, no objections here but as it stands, I am perfectly fine being part of the union despite putting up with bawbags like Cameron.

I have too much pride to say I like being part of the union. I read the history and it's horrible how Scotland was bribed to be part of this union. It's about time we got out of it, it's not like we'll suffer from leaving, we have the resources to look after ourselves, much smaller countries are able to do so.

Huh, I never knew that. Guess I should read more about our country's history more often!

@RayTunes:
I'm going to have to be honest here when I say your posts are somewhat biased. American does have an average IQ of 98 and the Netherlands has an average of 102, but that's only a four-point difference. The intelligence is close in hand, the main difference you see is that in America there are many more people who are culturally more ignorant, mostly due to the fact that there's been an awful lot of patriotism in past years. If you'll look at the younger generation, they're a lot more aware (not as much as we'd like to see, but more so) than their parents' generation. It's the same with all countries basically, it just is much more prominent in America.

Spiral, only you would go and count all the post's that contain his name just to prove me wrong. That does not mean I need an argument about this.

Hm... I haven't noticed much of it. Someone should tell them that the Netherlands is not located in Africa.

Meh, I simply prefer this forum. I've tried out many, and they always end up being confusing or a bit boring.

Oh, but we have lots of stupid people, Idols being the perfect example. Yet, they won't believe you when you say that Mount Rushmore is a replica from an Australian monument.

That's not stupidity towards intelligence, that's just ignorance.

What I meant is that this is a ridiculous joke thread where we post outlandish caricatures of our views, and that nothing said here can be taken seriously.

You’re aware that there’s a search function, right? It took me about thirty seconds. You need to get over your obsession with this man.

Hm... I haven't noticed much of it. Someone should tell them that the Netherlands is not located in Africa.

Well I have, and who cares where the Netherlands is located? Your barometer for someone’s intelligence is their knowledge about a country they’ll never visit?

Meh, I simply prefer this forum. I've tried out many, and they always end up being confusing or a bit boring.

Not sure what that has to do with ‘forums are for entertainment’. I am a member of many forums, several of which I frequent daily; this one, its membership and its quality of discussion are far from the gold standard.

Oh, but we have lots of stupid people, Idols being the perfect example. Yet, they won't believe you when you say that Mount Rushmore is a replica from an Australian monument.

I don’t know who or what ‘Idols’ is. I don’t know if what you said about Mount Rushmore is true; perhaps you should provide a link. I can absolutely see why someone would refuse to believe such claims without evidence. To use this as a barometer for intelligence is ridiculous.

[Adsolution]

It's funny because I'm in the Netherlands right now.

I don't feel like writing a wall of text right now, maybe tonight. I'll just answer this part for now.
Idols is one of those shows where they talent hunt shows, which in this case, looking for singing talent.

You might as well just watch the whole video, as it basically supports my statement.

Avoid any place that is near south, because our favourite aardappel lives there.

That shouldn't be a problem as I'm now in Frankfurt Germany. That's right, I'm a country ninja.

I did every one of those places in the last five days. I don't just mean a drive-through, I mean visited.
