The campaign's been a credit to the whole country
Yes, I mean it's great nobody's resorted to personal attacks isn't it...
Small pockets of No campaigners standing like shrews not talking to anyone but looking very disapproving with mean pursed mouths quivering like a porn star's anus.
There's also a saying called 'all the negative fannies are No voters'
.
But totally this:
Alex Salmond originally set out to split the UK but the main thing he has succeeded in doing is split scotland. It'll be worse than ever on Friday no matter what the vote.
Backed up by polling:
http://www.buzzfeed.com/jimwaterson/scotlands-no-voters-feel-threatened-afraid-to-speak-out-and#1wgv96oAnecdotally, my other half is Scottish and his dumber yes voting Facebook friends fill their feeds with personal attacks on no voters, friends from both sides have had to step away from social media because it got too nasty and those daring to plan to vote no get shouted down (a bit like uber's 80 million posts in this thread to be honest). He has just admitted he wouldn't dare reveal that he's a 'no' on Facebook.
A credit to the whole country. Right.
Fox-
How ironic that the authors of the self-titled 'Project Fear' campaign, now feel fearful...
Really-that Buzzfeed poll? Are you really treating that as a credible thing? Most of the people I've seen in the streets handing out No flyers look like they'd feel threatened by a trip to Lidl let alone actually speaking to someone in Govan.
I'd a 'No' friend post on my timeline and start quite a heated discussion, we're pals, we deleted the comments after and agreed to disagree. My brother in law and I have had some intense chats-he works for JP Morgan-it's all fine, he's got his opinions.
Facebook violence, vandalised signs, being booed in the street. I'm sorry but it's laughable, and it's reciprocal, and it's not going to be any more permanent than a derby football match, and the No campaign's been self-destructive in their tenor because it's really gotten peoples heckles up from the off.
But for all that. Having this debate, provoking political change, it's a credit to the country, yes and even if there's a No vote, I can't help but feel it's only a matter of time before it's going to be happening with the same intensity on your doorstep too.

And for someone complaining about silencing and shouting down, people post on here about a subject I care about, challenge my posts, start a conversation, and I can't respond because why?
I've attempted to be civil and if the two posts you cite are the worst you can accuse me in terms of insults I think you need to get a fucking grip because worse things happen in the memes thread...

Another day of loads of Yes voters looking happy and relaxed, talking to people, well organised information stalls with free cake, smiling people.
Small pockets of No campaigners standing like shrews not talking to anyone but looking very disapproving with mean pursed mouths quivering like a porn star's anus.
Forecasts of violence are pretty insulting tbh-I'm sure a very small handful of people will let spirits get the better of them but if you applied what's been said (Cameron, again, was told by police to stfu and stop making baseless, inflammatory statements) to general elections then what you're really saying is that the Scots (or just the Yes voters?) are inherently violent and disorderly, which is, if not racist, just hatred for the working class disguised as concern.
The campaign's been a credit to the whole country, it's just too bad its been so badly reported.
