But Confucius has answered them with the final whistle, it’s all over. Germany, having trounced England’s famous midfield trio of Bentham, Locke and Hobbes in the semi-final, have been beaten by the odd goal.

In the back I see many potential legends, some of them with Warrior spirits, and you will do the same for them. You will decide if they live for the passion and intensity, so much so that you will tell your stories and you will make them legends as well. I am Ultimate Warrior; you are the Ultimate Warrior fans and the spirit of Ultimate Warrior will run forever!

RIP warrior

Rest in Power, Warrior.

Politician Worries About Stuff Happening

Before I start, here's the actual news story: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-26933998 Lord Robertson is the latest to have concerns over Scottish Independence, and also the theory of cause and effect. He's called it a "debilitating divorce" and "would be cataclysmic in geo-political terms." So essentially he's scared that Scotland and England are breaking up, and he thinks it might be all his fault. He's trying to parent trap the 2 countries as we speak. This is just the latest in a long line of fear mongering from the "No" campaigners. However what made me particulary amused at this one is how he explains how he, and pretty much everyone else not involved in this debate, have a right to talk about it: Lord Robertson added: "This is not a purely domestic matter even though it's a decision that will be taken by the Scottish people. "The Scottish people need to be conscious that they are taking a decision, not just for themselves and for future generations in a one-off vote, but that it also has an effect elsewhere and people who are affected, or think they will be affected, have every right to speak out." So not only do the voters need to think about themselves and future generations of Scottish people, but also for people who could possibly maybe sorta be affected (and their imaginary descendants as well I assume), and that anyone who thinks they might be affected by this should speak out. Using this vague qualifier, pretty much everyone everywhere can therefore voice their concerns to influence the results of the referendum. Because what Lord Robertson doesn't seem to realise is that we live in a world where causality is a thing, and that anything can affect anything. You know, the whole butterfly flapping it's winds causes gay marriage to affect the weather, or something like that. Of course Scottish independence would cause effects felt outside Scotland. And everyone has a right to voice their opinion on it. However it seems to me that what he really means is that England and the rest of the UK should speak out against Scottish Independence. He's also called on allies of the UK to do the same. So essentially he's hoping peer pressure will help force Scotland to vote no. I have my own opinion on Scottish referendum, and I'll share it with friends if asked, but I also freely accept that it is none of my business. I also had opinions on the last US election, which also had an effect on the rest of the world, however I didn't see Non-US politicians stick their nose in and start telling people who they should vote for. And just imagine this situation. Say the UK holds a referendum on whether they should leave the EU, basically take all the news stories you've heard about Scottish independence, swap UK for EU and Scotland for UK. How do you think these same people would feel about French, German, Spanish etc. politicians talking about how bad it would be if UK left, and how America and other allies should talk some sense into them? Let's let Scotland debate and decide, and if you're going to talk about "what ifs" at least use some actual possibilities instead of just vague menacing sentences, as if a "Yes" vote would result in some unspeakable, unimaginable horror arriving to devour all the world's puppies.
