Should the UK leave the EU?
Her comments are annoying and uninformed Who is she anyway? She thinks it will be great when Trump becomes president because there will be a WW3? Mam just ignore her and the anti-UK comments, did you read some of the views from people supporting her, the degree of invective and anti-Western sentiment never ceases to amaze me

Should the UK leave the EU?
This BREXIT outcome has very little to do with racism and the fact the citizens of the UK are bigots. I reject that completely I find these types of Twitter comments come from people who are ignorant and prefer making false characterizations or assuming the BREXIT is all about issues like immigration, this is only part of it

Should the UK leave the EU?
This is exactly the views and commitment I have been wanting to see from people living in the EU, there has not enough emphasis on the positive aspects of the EU The right wing will focus on the negative and use hyperbole to generate fear mongering and gain support The EU will survive this but with the UK leaving now and the next 12 months or so of economic instability this is an excellent time for all people living in the EU to ask important questions like " Do I like the EU? " " yes there are issues within the EU but its much better to be part of the EU than to be separated from " " I want to be part of the EU but I want some structural changes " But once again dont become despondent and think " now the UK has left the entire EU will collapse " It will be a much different outcome and result if the various right wing groups in the EU think now that BREXIT is done there own countries can just leave the EU And this is a good thing for those that care about the EU

Should the UK leave the EU?
Whats more annoying for me is the hubris from the various right wing parties across the EU who have naturally become emboldened and think countries like Denmark, France and the Netherlands should also leave the EU I want to make this point again unequivocally, the UK is in a unique position where it can leave the EU and it will survive but any EU member that uses the EURO as its currency will not be able to just leave the EU without serious and unprecedented economic consequences

Should the UK leave the EU?
I would say that Cameron's room is most likely much more interesting. Juncker probably don't even have plans to continue his political career after his tenure in Commission is over, which is probably before actual brexit happens. EDIT: It seems that Cameron's room has become much less interesting David Cameron resigns after UK votes to leave European Union Yes, Cameron I imagine will resign Despite his best efforts to do what he feels is best for the future of the UK the reality is he will now always be remembered as the UK PM who allowed the UK to leave the EU...he will step down considering the outcome of the BREXIT vote

Should the UK leave the EU?
Of course you guys realize the UK voting to leave will also have a degree of negative economic consequences, as predicted, for entire global economy? So people who think this is funny because it will " only hurt the West " are as usual horribly ignorant about the nature about the global economy I see the pound has lost 10 % of its value to the dollar, the UK is in for a period of tough economic times. But it will survive and persevere but we can expect 10-14 months of economic instability

Should the UK leave the EU?
Not really, economic precedent and economic reality is more important than idealistic views of " freedom " for many people

Should the UK leave the EU?
Well I hope you not expecting something really dramatic ....like the UK invading Europe I reckon for someone living in the USA the only noticable development you will notice is the Pound getting weaker for about 12 months or so ?

Should the UK leave the EU?
Once again so nice to see someone in the EU on this forum say something sincere and kind about how they feel about the EU "But we do also take care of each other when needed " I have been on these forums for 4 years and I have a semi-photographic memory and thats the first time anyone has ever said anything personal and real about each other. Seriously, 4 years and not one person who lives in the EU out of all the members ever just said something like " I may have issues with the central government but I care about my fellow EU members " Even people like Elerond who is positive would say " yes I like the EU but structural changes must happen " Normally I would say something because its not normal but I left it as my second home is the UK, after SA , and this was one of those rare times where I felt I am not going to try to convince people how lucky they are \ So I left it ..... But thanks for being honest Yeah, I am afraid you are taking it the wrong way. What I mean is that a lot of European states have a model that allows freedom while people still take care of each other, and this is something I like about Europe in general. But this taking care of each other is mostly only for people of our own nationality. We simply don't have the same connection with other Europeans as we have with people of our own nationality. And why should we? I mean, I have to be honest here, if I compare myself to the average French person for example... Well, it makes me glad to be Dutch. Apologies to any French person reading this. You right I did completely misunderstand it....so you meant EU states generally only care for themselves, okay back to my silence on how close you guys all are

He was in idiot for charging alone, he wasn't an idiot for not giving an order you guys keep crediting him for. They broke through the walls of their prison. Which was convenient as hell, but hardly "summoned from sand". Okay good point ....but then yes the coincidence would have to be impossible She could have summoned them using telepathy?

That being said, there is a problem, and that is that Islam is still a religion imposed by government fiat in many countries. This is in direct conflict with the above, and it's not immediate for all muslims that such a thing is fundamentally incompatible with post-Enlightenment western culture. It certainly doesn't help that we tend to bomb places where Islam is second to secular law (cf. Iraq), and as Zoraptor pointed out, prop up regimes where the opposite is true.o= Oh so this is a fault of the West and basically radical Islam is caused by ...how did you frame it "muslims that such a thing is fundamentally incompatible with post-Enlightenment western culture " No I reject that completely, why dont we go back to the actual root cause and creation of al-Qaeda as ISIS came into existence because of the actions of AQ So that means we need to blame Bin Laden and he was only created because of the USSR invasion of Afghanistan ....so okay yes I agree Its the Russians who are to blame
