My prediction : The NO vote by more than 54%. Scotland will remain in the UK, it makes sense.

Does it, old boy? Why?

Isn't it amazing that there are nearly 50% ultra nationalistic Scots, whereas in Cyprus we have 90% who are just Greek idiots rather than Cypriot nationalists just like it should be?

It just goes to show that the Scots are smarter and more confident as a race.

Just because they want independence from the UK, doesn't make them ultra-nationalists. It's their right to do that. If it's the wrong decision, then it will be their problem.

The vast majority of the Cypriots asked for union with Greece, but this right was denied to them by the imperialist Brits (1930, 1950, 1959). Hopefully the Scots will be able to choose without interference...

And by definition they are not nationalists let alone ultra nationalists!

How can you be a Cypriot Nationalist?

[Paphitis]

It's all hysterical semantics!

Once again, India and Pakistan was sectarian based and they divided themselves on that basis!

Don't they teach you British Colonial history in Australia? Maybe not!

Now. Sectarian based partition. Yes it was. Pakistan was carved out of what was once India. Several decades after Britain had failed to grant self-rule to India as it did with other colonies after WW1 (including Australia) and which would likely have avoided partition in 1947 and the subsequent bloodbath.

You are bizarrely resistant to the legacy of British colonial rule as one of partition. Ireland, Cyprus, Palestine, India, the Middle East etc. All spontaneously divided themselves according to you without any British involvement. The British were just innocent bystanders trying to rule in the best interests of the ungrateful natives.

It's not just that it's a pretty silly argument, it's also historical nonsense.

Excuse me, but we don't have a complex and became our own long ago!

They teach Australian History in Australian schools.

As for Pakistan, it was always going to be its own State. They had a right to self determination and the divisions between them and the Hindus was very deep so much so that even to this day they want to nuke each other.

Palestine was earmarked for the Jewish State.

Scots are different from the rest (English, etc.).

There is no such thing as a Cypriot Nationalist, unless you mean Greek Nationalist from Cyprus.

Oh right! The Scots are different even though they live on the same island!

And the Cypriots are Greek even though Cyprus is an isolated island hundreds of kilometers away. My my, I am astounded at your stupidity!!

You leave the subject of Cypriot Nationalists to Cypriots! Ta.

Well best stick to Australian history then. British colonial history clearly isn't your strong point. Not that it stops you posting about it.

I suggest you cut the crap about British Colonial History!

It was hardly the evil empire and it did a lot of good around the world and a lot of good in Cyprus too. In fact, one thing is clear to me is the fact we were not ready for the responsibility of being in charge of our island so a few more years under British Rule would have been a much better outcome for our island rather than pissing everything up the wall.

Maybe you should write a book about it? ‘Paphitis Guide to How Brilliant the British Empire Was And All The Brilliant Things It Did and Left Behind’.

It might not get into the History section but it might do well in the Comics section.

I dare you to name one Cypriot Nationalist, who is not an Australian koala or chicken.

Oh, shit! I forgot to exclude the white SAs.
