..and he literally freaked out!
Myself, my sister and my brother were all at my mother's house and my sister asked me how I would be voting on Thursday, I told her I would be voting no, my sister said she'd also be voting no as she had to think of her daughters futures. Upon hearing this my brother began shouting at us calling us stupid and telling us that people like us would ruin Scotland. I tried telling him the reasons why I would be voting no, including the issues with the currency, no Nato membership etc. He persisted to call me and my sister stupid and told me I would get no job (I was filling out an application form at the time) as I'm stupid.
I know he is passionate about Scotland but I never expected him to react like this! It has just made me realise how some people seem blinded by the SNP lies.

When he tried to remove them he got a torrent of abuse and was called a traitor. The owner came out and asked what the trouble was and my neighbour explained and the owner supported the mechanic! My neighbour was told “his sort” weren’t welcome anymore.
The ironic thing was that he intended voting yes, he just didn’t want his car covered in stickers without his permission.
So really its not a thread about your relationship with your brother but just another "Im voting no and I want to tell people whilst at the same time belittling the other side to make myself feel better"
Perhaps your brother knows you better than you think?;-)
I told him that too but he isn't one for listening to other people's opinions.
You're not Alex Salmond's sister are you?:)
Are you actually suggesting you can truly read minds?
Loads of stories like this, it's really quite sad! My friends wedding photographer took a video of the abuse he got for having a no sticker on his car, he was even pinned up against a wall by his neck and called a traitor.
I'm getting sick of tired of being told I'm not patriotic because I'm voting No, absolute nonsense.
I do find it quite funny that a country who benefits from tourism are abusing the no voters and telling them to f... Off to England - no one will want to come visit such a hostile place.
Yes, I am.
then read this
........
"I'm sorry for putting words in your mouth by saying you implied you could read minds."
Thanks, that's very gracious of you to admit that.
Yes but you are just dong what the op is
taking a sample size of one and tarring the whole nation
Your own situation is not the whole country its just you
perhaps the issue lies with who you are and the way you behave?
I now can see that you dont read minds as what I said was a bit shorter and to the point
Lol, no.
The way I behave? My friends wedding photographer was abused not me
I know loads of people who's families have turned their back on other family members who are voting No, one of my friends has lied and said she is voting yes to stop the non stop abuse from her brother . My eldest daughter has shut her Facebook page because she is sick of all the anti English posts and quite rightly they upset her, her father is English.
I suffer from incredible social anxiety and keep myself to myself, that's how I behave.
She loved it until recently and said the whole atmosphere has changed and she is abused by people in shops Etc when they hear her English accent. They tell her to get back to her own country.
She has been so upset by this that she has been making the 8 hr+ drive home on Friday night to spend the weekends here as she feels so hated.
There's a rather hilarious article in today's Guardian by that silver-spoon Socialist Billy Bragg in which he goes to great lengths to explain why Scottish nationalism is absolutely nothing like British nationalism...
He's really not. It's not like independence was the SNPs sole policy.
Its still just your own opinion and not really good enough to brand a nation or somehow extrapolate your personal experience to all of Scotland and say that its representative?
Shutting down Facebook is a good idea in general so thats a positive
Wow you yes lot are deluded, it is really sad to see people that really should be able to use their heads, being taken in by a bunch of lies...
Please tell me. Exactly what and how are the SNP going to make Scotland better...
They already keep repeating a lie, they keep lying to the Electorate about them getting a CU, which has already been ruled out by the UK as it is not in our interests...
Do you believe the SNP when they came out with scare stories about the Scottish NHS?
What? Such a comment just because the poster you quoted made a claim that people won't admit to voting no because of the fear of abuse?
Maybe there is something to the whole 'yes voters are abusive' thing.
