Maybe they'll take a mulligan and have a referendum on the referendumWhile this is still a very unlikely outcome, it does seem like pretty much everyone in charge is trying to pull something along those lines off.
Is illuminati want "forcing God bring to doomsday" by pouring more blood ?Yes.
The economic panic that ensued after brexit has been close to completely erased. The pound is almost back to where it was pre-brexit. I knew the repercussions would be short term but I didn't think it'd only last two days. Wall Street's short memory has hit goldfish levels.It's been halted by the numerous suggestions that the referendum may simply be ignored or the result otherwise blocked. It's a lose-lose scenario, since shit will likely hit the fan again once one of the two cans of worms is reopened.
I have to disagree with you. The immigration is destroying Britain, especially since they are unvetted.Thanks for making my point for me. Leaving the EU does nothing to immigration, and yet here you are rambling about it. It's exactly this sort of misinformation that placed us in this conundrum in the first place.
No, unfortunately Dave is right. People voted Leave because they wanted to get rid of freedom of movement. The fact that that's an absolutely retarded reason to vote Leave changes very little about the fact that it still happened.Fun fact: the driving force for people voting to leave was due to wanting LESS freedom in their country, not more.
Specifically the freedom of EU citizens to live and work in any country. 52% of Britans hate that.
Go and read about what the EU actually is. Then come back and edit that post.
actually fair enough, 1985 was mostly denouement, but the point is that i wildly disagree with your description of us-russian relations, and the comparison you and rushy draw between russia and the dprk would only maybe make sense if we were living in the height of the cold war. but we're not, so it isn't.Okay, so your argument is "no u". 10/10
there are significant qualitative differences, the most obvious of which are things like red phones, arms control agreements, lots of trade, neither being run by a dictator with absolute control over a brainwashed and isolated population, a lack of ideological predisposition toward annihilate the other, etc.Oh, okay, so you don't know much about
either way, what difference does it make? let's suppose you're right and russia is a huge threat. what does one have to do with the other? i'm not making any argument about what foreign policy toward russia is or isn't good. my argument was that 1) i don't think trump should have anything to do with directing foreign policy toward the peninsula, and 2) our current foreign policy there is reasonably sound.Yes, and we were explaining to you why you're wrong using examples which we (or, well, I) had hoped would be more familiar to you. It's difficult because you're apparently in denial not only about the situation between the US and North Korea, but also about the situation between the US and Russia - what with your frantic jumping between calling them ALLIES (I'm honestly not over that), calling them uhh-not-enemies-I-guess, randomly and incorrectly invoking history, etc.; all that just to avoid responding to an argument. I guess we could try again with, oh, I dunno, ISIS, but that'd probably end up going the same way. "History ain't history and current events ain't current events so ha!!!!!"
he's not a big fan of the EUThat's my suspicion, too. But that makes him pretty much the opposite of what the Labour electorate wants. Ergo, a leadership challenge. Regardless of whether or not he's a good politician, he's not a Labour politician - he's some sort of socialist-protectionist who should probably join TUSC.
Labour MPs are idiots. They've clearly lost touch with their working class supporters, judging by the last election and this referendum. And now they're trying to get rid of a leader who seems to have reached these alienated supporters and won a landslide victory in the leadership contest.Eh, it goes both ways. Many "common" Labour supporters are very upset about how little Corbyn did to support the Remain campaign (I mean, Cameron really shouldn't have been the face of Remain - Labour was the obvious choice). If he survives a leadership contest, fair enough, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if he got ousted.
If you have a response, please feel free to formulate it. Since you haven't made an argument, I can't even pick a Current Year(tm) for your statement to work.and then in my very next post, i said, "fair enough, china and russia aren't technically allies. if you actually think that the level of cooperation we have with russia and china is an any way indicative of our level of cooperation with the dprk..."Oh, hey, I missed that bit. Then again, it's just as wrong as your original claim so I'm not sure what the point is.
Referring to your homeland's biggest adversaries as "not technically allies" is not strictly inaccurate, but it's a choice of words even Fox News would approach with caution.
Countries which actively oppose and try to destabilise the west can be compared. Just because some of them are strong enough to actually be taken seriously doesn't mean that's no longer true.
what you're saying would make perfect sense in 1985

russia is an allyWhose?
The main problem with IRC is you can't catch up a conversation like you can a forum. And you have to talk about what they want to talk about. You can't just make a new thread. It makes it very cliquey and unappealing for anyone else to join, especially if you are new.Yes, that's why our channel is generally only used by a small group of people who knew each other for ages.
IRC ... now that is taking me back just a tad... like to 1995 !!ok
And the days of dial up ... just mention IRC and my ears are ringing the dial up noise https://www.dialupsound.com/
Oh the memories lol!
Don't even have mIRC installed these days !!
But yes...definitely not a "forum" medium, and I'm also wondering if the channel is invite onlyI mean yes, things which aren't the forum are indeed not the forum.
So the IRC posters (or should I say "chatters") are snobbish introverts ... they don't want to have to deal with the newbies, but they are too "shy" to come and speak to us !!In a way, that's probably correct for some users, but IRC users are generally also some of the most active members of the forum, so your conjecture is self-defeating. We use IRC to talk about everyday stuff and make fun of Saddam. We use the forum for longer discussions. The two exist effectively independently of one another. Perhaps instead of jumping to conclusions you should simply give the channel a try and make an educated decision about whether you'd like to be a regular or not? (Side advice: mIRC is shit, get HexChat).
[sic] is what you say when you're quoting someone who's made a mistake.Look, I completely sympathise with the faux grammar Nazi attitude, but could you please try to be less wrong?
If this - a notorious asshole deliberately going to a hostile audience with a ridiculously-inflammatory "message" and successfully provoking them into a hostile response - is the extent of the grave threat to freedom of speech in this country, then I'd say we're in good shape overall.Are you trying to prove Blanko right? You just explicitly stated that universities are hostile towards a certain set of political views or even simple statements of fact.
