Here's an interesting article from Maajid Nawaz, viewing the brexit from the perspective of fighting terrorism:

What? No! Japan is in Asia. A completely separate continent from Europe. European Union is ONLY for Europe's countries!

Lol...

Anyway, have you done any research whatsoever into the people you're voting to govern you?!

This is the VP of the EU commission: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q94syUDDhxA

Completely unhinged lunatic, if you ask me. Perfect example of why too much political power should never be concentrated on just a few individuals, as that always leads to utopian visions and megalomania.

Do everyone a favor and vote these cultural marxists out of office before more of their dangerously misguided ideas are put into action. Kthx

And what will be wrong with having diversity? It will mean to accept and tolerate another culture. Whoever they will be. Is there something wrong with respect. Also, I do not know why you call him a Marxist and please tell me what "kthx" means.

Why do you think Timmermans is a lunatic?

'Cultural marxist'? What does this mean?

What makes you think political power in the EU is concentrated on just a few individuals? The European Commission has 28 members and is just the executive power, the European parliament has 751 members and is democratically elected just like any other parliament.

Wow, I can't believe it. I knew it'd be close, but I didn't think they'd vote to leave.

What happens now?

Apparently David Cameron already resigned (or said he will).

I knew you had moved from Japan, I did not realize it was to the U.K., and I did not realize you were a citizen. That explains why you were able to vote. :geek:

So were you for the leave or the stay camps? I admittedly don't pay too much attention to international news (we have enough crazy going on in the US), but I brushed up a bit on this.
Alcohol may have been a factor.

Taxation is theft.
