Y-Hat posted:i'm an american who knows about the EU and its borders, but not how the UK being in it helps them... or at least doesn't hurt them as much as their austerity government does. can you explain it to me instead It's the same reason why this is a thing. http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2014/05/which-states-are-givers-and-which-are-takers/361668/ I'm sure I could find a better link, but I have other things swirling around in my mind right now and I am about to go to bed. It's the same purpose as a union. The same purpose as having a united states. the same purpose as making an european union. It levels thing out amongst a grouping of what the gently caress evers. It's why kids asked to be graded on a "curve" in school. because the sum of the parts is greater then the whole. Now, with that being said. If one of the parts feels it is being so loving negatively impacted it would be better to break away, and its people agrees so and votes for such, then who the rat gently caress am I to stand in there way? In a modern context, to what I just said, hey Texas. You wan to secede? Sure, go ahead. Just be prepared for what the gently caress happens to you, from your actions. Same with Britain. Same with a Sovereign citizen. Six of loving one, half a goddamned dozen of another. Savvy?

dethkon posted:Wait- how big is the EUs army compared to Britain? Although if they can stall the initial invasion force, it'll probably come down to the Air Force like in ww2... what is southern England's industrial capacity, and how long before they can be restarted for war production? Those limey's might just be able to stand a chance! EU's...Army? Dude, The Germans literally had loving broomsticks on their tanks at last year's NATO wargames in place of machine guns.

Imagine having to bribe every aristocrat in Europe just to keep them from voting some new safety measure that will shut down your ports and cost you millions to meet the new requirements.

The EU is a lot like being married to a violent criminal who has just kicked the poo poo out of Greece for not giving it it's loving money back, and Britain is all "well I want to leave but I loooove him, and even though I have no control in this relationship and one day he'll probably beat me to death, but I do get slighty cheaper groceries because he has a sweet reward card. Also I'm worried that my neighbors will think I'm racist if I leave"

People keep on bringing up Texas and seceding and... what? Like, that was a thing that some stupid loud tea partiers railed on about a few years ago but as a Texan, I haven't heard poo poo about it in ages and nobody ever took it seriously. Texas has it's faults, yes, but at least secession never even had any potential of making it to a referendum. Lol UK u dum Jesus Christ fucked around with this message at 08:46 on Jun 22, 2016 |

It's so exciting! I want them to stay since London is like 2 hours flight away, and If I ever become a plumber/electrician I would like to move to England for a while. On the other hand, If they leave there will be fun chaos, and both british and european politics would become more interesting for a couple of years. Same as with Trump, its probably bad, but its funny.

We are being invaded by Paki's, blacks and poles and all the scum of the world as Germany is in total command of Europe, our borders and is destroying Europe again with out a single shot fired. How has this been allowed to happen? And that disgusting thing called Merkel, was voted Time Magazine person of the year, you have got to be loving pulling my leg?, she has single handedly destroyed Europe, ethnically cleansing us native Europeans with ficki ficki rapefugees. Who the hell put her in charge anyway? What pisses me off even more is that Cameron and his cronies hijacked the brexit vote with that Manchurian Candidate "Chance the Gardner" and sacrificed the life of an innocent yet libtarded politician to get more votes. Even the Queen can't think of 3 reasons to remain. Remain is now the official Zionist c.u.c.k vote.  (USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

It would be funny to be a plumber in london because they install their poo poo-pipes on the outside of their ramshackle 1000 year old victorian mansions and it would be cool to laugh at that up close instead of just by looking at pictures of it like how I do now.
