Scotland voted No on the basis of UK in the EU.That was never part of the referendum. It's a pathetic excuse.

Another difference is 16 and 17 year olds were allowed to vote in the Scottish referendum
That was cynical. That lot think Braveheart was a documentary. Not old enough to buy fags.

Maybe the SNP are as confused about the word generation as the Watchtower.

Scotland had its once in a generation vote on independence. They answer was No Thanks.
Time for SNP to focus on governing the country. Brexit is an excuse for Indy2. I know Scots who want out the EU but voted to remain in the hope of avoiding a second attempt by the Nats to divide the UK. Sturgeon said she would demand a second referendum regardless of the deal we negotiate with Europe. It's nothing but petty anti-English nationalism.

Lib Dems, SNP, Labour they are all shambolic. Good government requires strong opposition. Corbyn is a bad joke.
Brexit is happening. They should accept that and concentrate on holding the Tories to account.
I think the government will be returned with a strong majority.
By the way USA this is how to do an election. Six weeks from the starting gun to election day. The new government takes office the following day.

Does North Korea currently have the capability of nuking the US directly?
They would probably target US bases in Guam and South Korea.

A senior NK government minister has stated today that if the USA take any military action at all they will react with a preemptive nuclear attack.
Catch 22?
China holds the key. NK depends on China for most of its food and fuel. Further sanctions would result in more civilian suffering but the alternative is much worse.

Yeah that's just what the world needs. Somebody who gets their geopolitics from an Iron Age book.

Bohm I agree with your observations although some analysts are not as optimistic as your estimate of 5+ years.
I have no idea how you do diplomacy with Kim Jong-un. China will have to step up. If NK carry out a sixth nuclear test - any day now - then China be forced to make a stand. Will Kim Jong-un listen to them?
NK must be prevented from having nuclear weapons at any cost but that cost might be massive.

Perhaps an argument could be made that God intervened in the evolutionary process and bestowed consciousness on man?
But why would we resort to supernatural explanations at all? It's ok that there are things we still don't know. Maybe it will be solved in our lifetime; maybe not. There is a lot that is known about the brain that was mysterious just a few decades ago.
Every mystery ever solved so far has turned not to be magic.
