Rowand44 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 So I got nominated to do the ice bucket challenge a few weeks back which I did but my buddy's wife recorded it and never put it on facebook. Anyways, I just got a call on my direct line at work that said "Our records indicate that you were nominated to do the ice bucket challenge and have not yet completed it..." Facebook's crazy.

I've been nominated to do the "ice bucket challenge" eleven times but haven't done it. Just wondering if there is any sort of record I can shoot for.

We're in the "Good" range and I went outside at about just before 9 (sunset was at 7:30) but wasn't able to see it. Not sure if it was because it was mostly cloudy or just too bright being downtown.

StrangeSox Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Even with the "no" result, there were lots of promises made to Scotland by the British political parties about devolving even more control over Scottish issues to Scotland. It sort of creates a complicated mess (Scottish MP's can vote in Westminster on things that will control England, but the English MP's can't have similar say over Scotland), and other areas like Wales might demand something similar.

StrangeSox Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) Him or Stewart edit: liberal English are happy with the "no" result because otherwise their country would have been dominated politically by conservatives.

ChiSox_Sonix Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Interesting results by age in the Scotland vote showing a very large pro-Independence viewpoint among the younger generations.

The second world war. (Including many as children). You might have something there, given the huge jump in "no" for the 65+ group. A significant part of that group would have actually lived through the war, and even the ones who were born shortly thereafter might have felt the united nationalism a little moreso than those even born a decade later.
