So what makes a good reason to withdraw from the union?
And could you be a dear and explain what makes a good reason to the Welsh because I don't think they understand why people laugh when they say "But we can't speak Welsh in parliament".

I think women are more than capable of getting on with things despite the regular visits from "Aunt Irma", if they weren't then the world would be in a very different place.
Hell, Queen Victoria ruled over an empire for 70 years and the severity of her menstual cycle is well known, historically.

The fact that there are women serving thoughout the armed forces, including on the front line, proves the point all on it's own, in my personal opinion.

Entirely possible.

I still think it's a bad idea, but only time will tell I guess.

So Scotland could be the international home of the small business? That could work.

R.e. Money. Some people refuse the Scottish Pound out of ignorance as they do not know it is legal tender in the UK, however everyone refuses the British Pound in Scotland as it is not legal tender in Scotland. I discovered this fact on a weekend north of The Wall in 2001ish.

"government has a significant role to play in creating conditions that businesses can flourish in"

So apart from tax breaks, which is a short term solution at best if my local situation is anyting to go by, what else is there that could be done to make Scotland a more desirable location for business? Because as far as I know all of the important stuff is, in theory, already in place. (I'm thinking of ports, foundries and freight rail mainly).

Could the Scottish refusal to accept the British Pound be having an impact? (if this is no longer the case then ignore this)

Nice link, but even the scots in that article admit (an a very roundabout way) that the end result (scotland in/not in deficit) depends entirely on wether or not it sees any revenue from the North Sea oil field after independence, and we both know that what would be left of the UK would not give up the North Sea without a fight.

See there is the problem: If England plays nice and lets Scotty have the oil then Scotty does quite well for himself, if England decides to make Scotty suffer and keep the oil for itself then Scotty will suffer BIG.

"that if the westminster government hasn't been able to create conditions in the last 300 years whereby scottish industry is able to generate enough wealth to support scotland, then i think it's past time where scotland would see what it could do by itself"

That is not the fault of Westminster. At the end of the day nobody wants to invest in Scotland. Hell, the further away from the UK you get the less people know about Scotland. I used to work with an American who thought that Scotland was an island like Iceland and Greenland.

I understand that exercise involves burning extra calories (especially cardiovascular exercise).  And therefore I have a greater appetite.  As a result I do eat almost 3 meals a day now, and sometimes those don't even fill me up.  I presume the extra caloric intake will be used in the the extra calorie burning, and as a result build a desired muscle mass, without gaining a lot of fat (or rather, a large gut, or beer belly).

I'm not a Malaysian marathon runner, and am not burning calories at rail-thin weights making myself a practically personally-assumed "anorexic."  But rather am trying to burn calories in the most healthy way, while continuing to maintain a healthy diet of fruits & vegetables, and non-existent trans-fat intake, with minimal saturated fat intake.  If you know of a healthier way to live than that, I'd like to hear it.<

You wont gain alot of fat: During training I eat 6000 calories a day in 5-6 meals a day, but my BMI is 10 and I weigh barely 150lbs.

EDIT: Medically speaking I'm underweight.
