Yay or nay - should Britain vote to leave the EU?

[pietillidie]

Let's just say I loved the UK just as I loved South Korea, and I'm starting to love Ireland. I always think optimistically about the places I live, despite pushing insiders on the obvious blind spots they have, whether its the abandonment and dirtiness of Dublin, the pollution and disregard for safety in Seoul, or the lack of policing and expensive public transport in the UK (and did I mention that dank, stinky, mobile connectivity black hole called the London Tube?).

The delusions of grandeur in England (not sure about GB or the UK as larger entities), are beyond compare thus far in my life. The talk of greatness, and the self marveling is a tea partyesque Internet fantasy, and isn't even close to reality. The best thing about the the UK is the accumulated history, not present life, and certainly not present political reality.

Indeed, Europe might be best to rid itself of the UK, if the data is anything to go by. I mean, surely this great superiority would show up somewhere in the data. Yes, but GB did defeat Argentina in the Falklands in 1982, surely a sign of greatness!

Honestly, nationalism and racial fixation eats people's brains like nothing on earth has the ability to do.

Perhaps a spot of Where's Wally as we try to pick the superior democracy of the UK in the data...err, somewhere in the data...I think...

Oh goodie a bash Britain thread! If you posted the diatribes above in a Serbia or aboriginal thread, it would be racist. But yeah white people, you can bash them.

At least fix the spelling in the title!!

Who's bashing white people? The only people I see being laughed at are the British.

I would have thought as a white Brit I can do what I like in that regard! It's a paranoid, tabloid-driven sulkfest over there at the moment. Cringeworthy for a country with such a strong intellectual tradition.

And just where do your damn chain marks originate from, unless your gunna tell me you have aboriginal heritage

Thanks to good old American freedom of speech you can do what the **** you like, and thanks to my British blood I'm allowed to be offended, and thanks to my bogan Aussie upbringing, I'm allowed to tell you about it.And thanks to my being a white, heterosexual, female, your allowed to offend the hell out of me. Cheers
