General Off Topic / Re: The liberal case for Brexit

Have you ever been to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch?

Yeah the only redeeming feature of that typically shit north wales town is the announcement on the train. 

Valid critique while completely ignoring all the benefits?

That's what I miss with all those EU-damnation statements... most they completely ignore that massive benefits that come from the EU.

Oh i don't ignore the benefits at all, the organisation has achieved some incredible things in a wide variety of sectors, the politic stemming from it has made my life so much better providing a huge amount of opportunities that would other wise have never been there.  What I can't believe in is the obnoxious europhilia that ignores the systemic problems in the EU and makes it so anyone who dares to criticise the organisation is labelled as an uneducated xenophobe that doesn't understand and is clearly so ignorant that their opinion is invalid - something which is un-ironically stated among some Europhiles. 

I'm pro-EU and definitely pro european integration but I do not support the organisation in its current form, it needs to change become more democratic and reshape the existing treaties to unambiguously reflect its nature and objectives (something which will hopefully happen in the next few years), if not it will only attract more dissent and cause more harm to itself and its citizens than what its done over the last few decades.

I've never seen a Native speaker make the then/than mistake before. Admit it, you are secretly a Continental by heart.

If I've learnt anything studying EU law it's that no one should  'cheer for the EU' in its current form.  It categorically fails to meet any of its own defined standards or objectives, has too much autocratic power over areas which are largely of national interest and so few in areas which would benefit the international community.   Overall the organisation is in desperate need of reform but there is so little impetus to do so at the commission level that this will never happen, they would rather hang on to the influence they have then attempt anything which would allow the organisation to develop.

EU is a corrupt, technocratic and oligarchic system which is damaging to left wing social democratic values.  Left wingers should embrace brexit as the author believe the constitution and institutional framework of the EU makes it only favorable with neo-liberlism and not with democracy or socialist agendas.  By embracing leaving the EU left wingers can somehow reclaim lost ground from the right (something which the british left certainly hasn't managed lol).

It's nothing new and doesnt actually offer anything different from what the same sort of shit the guardian was pushing in the years before the EU referendum became a reality.  It ignore the fact that most of the centre left would prefer neo-liberlism with some social democracy to the free reign that brexit has given to the right and while claiming to be internationalists shows absolutely no evidence of that what so ever.  Its basically an article explaining why someone like Corbyn is willing to stick his head in the ground and get fucked in the arse.

I'm alive n shit but got no laptop and just taken a job working on a cruise ship so no crusading for me for a while unfortunately.  I will however be going to Rhodes and Malta so I can at least pretend to be a crusader for a bit. God wills it!!

Wait until its at least out of early access, you shouldn't be rewarding devs for charging 40 quid for a bunch of promises and a proof of concept. Its utter nonsense and only encourages them to carry on releasing unfinished games when you have no idea what the quality of the finished product will actually be, people seem to be so impatient its ridiculous.

Yeah been following since announcement but I won't but until after release as early access is dumb and there is a good chance that it will never be feature complete.

I'm more interested in Battlefleet: Gothic for providing me with my next 40k hit.

Signed by Casimir, Lord of Unriya, Defend of the True Faith and Grand Master of the Knights Templar.

We respect the rights of the horde lords and their ancestral claims to the lands surrounding the Bariyye Oasis, we will focus our crusading efforts against the true threat to chadzianity and against those who falsely claim the Holy Lands!
