    If you call attending an indoctrination center i.e. college a "better" education then yes, they are better educated. In reality though they are just spoiled children.

    No, I didn't look that closely, but if they would rather stay within the EU, then they better vote soon on their independence. Poor England will end up standing all alone. All the more reason to get closer still to the US and Israel.

    I will take your word for it as I only heard a bit of that. However I heard they are keeping an eye on Scotland. It would on all levels make common sense for Ireland to become united and stay in the EU even on it's own but without question if your vote results in Scotland either staying in the EU while part of the UK or the more likely end product leaves the UK.

    Nicola has announced she is preparing the ground for a new referendum.

    A settler group was supporting Brexit. They hoped to harm the EU for labelling settler goods.

    No, it does not.

    And the reaction to Brexit is not just "markets going up and down"

    Markets move for reasons. Your attempt to dance past that fact by pretending that markets are random is idiotic.

    At no time in human history, has the world been a better place when peoples were divided into factions and fiefdoms as you advocate.

    The march to a global economy is one of he greatest contributions that the United States has made in its history. The establishment of global economic and poltical institutions has ended war between major powers, and raised the standard of living of every person on the planet (and their life expectancy as well).

    Dispite this, the voices of fear, ignorance and xenphobia have never receeded. They were in disrepute, mainly because people listened to them in the 1930's and the result was the rise of facism and the extension of the Great Depression.

    One of Osama Bin Laden's stated goals was to see the western world divided against itself. He used terror to incite and stoke fear, suspicion, bigotry and nativisim.

    In short, the true target for terror lies in exciting the prejudices of folks like you.

    And thank to folks like you in the UK, OBL has chalked up a significant postumous victory.

    In the wake of Brexit, that seems to be inevitable.

    I'm impressed, really. It took a large spark of courage and independence. I pray for the best for the UK.

    PS; CONGRATULATIONS! :cheerleader:

    Markets are adjusting because they bet on remain. After all the fear mongering the banks are now backing off and saying everything will be alright. The world has never been a peaceful place as dominant power is necessary to suppress the dangerous. America did not do that by giving up sovereignty.

    Yes history does prove me right which is why you have to misquote me to save face.

    I never said it was random of course things cause the markets to rise and fall but in fact it does always rise and fall. It will recover soon and rise again.

    Yes it is a minor dip and nothing more caused by brexit and will be forgotten in no time.

    The global economy is not a proven success except for a few uber wealthy of whom the bin laden family was one such group.

    The vote was not strictly about such thing it was a matter of sovereignty and it is a good thing to abandon centralized big government.

    Hilarious to exhume OBL as an argument against brexit why not pull hitler out of he crypt

    Britain will never be "all alone". They have far more friends around the world than any other EU members.

    You mean England and Wales will never be alone. They will have the hard right of the States to encourage them on. God help them :roflol: :roflol: :roflol:

    The main reason to leave.

    "EU law continues to apply to the full to and in the United Kingdom until it is no longer a Member."

    Every people and their country should have the right to self determination, and that would include England, Scotland or whomever. Trade agreements work but political agreements between different cultures clearly do not. It's only fear of the unknown that kept this inept and unanswerable alliance together and now the Brits, bless 'em, have finally made their move. Perhaps the people in the rest of these EU countries will now have courage and foresight to determine their own futures rather than have them dictated by bureaucrats in Belgium.

    That alone is enough reason to get the hell out.

    I'm very interested to follow the media in the balkans the following days. Want to see the face of the pro-payed-euro-fanatics from the different "non governmental" organisations.
    Those who screams EU the loudest :nana:

    And here I thought Germany was very much liked and popular. Isn't Germany considered the EU engine, pulling everybody else along?

    As you say, democracies have their choices. This was not the choice of Scotland or Northern Ireland and there is a strong possibility they will not stay with England and Wales who have made a very different choice. Hence why you are really speaking to England and Wales not N Ireland or Scotland who chose remain.

    Obama warned against. The US without question will be much more interested in the EU than England and Wales and England has just thrown away any position it had in the world - the very thing they were scared of with Scottish Indy. The people supporting it in this thread are the American Hard Right. It was a vote primarily for English Nationalism. Let them have it. Scotland is open and has vacancies.

    Uncertainty of any sort will lower the markets. The destination will be good, the journey will not.

    I am skeptical the elites will allow Brexit. Every single media outlet is constantly speculating on whether this will cause a global financial crisis. Almost begging for it to happen.

    I do not trust that they will ever actually leave the EU.

    While much of the world is often enthralled by German charm and their noted sense of humor the countries that matter still strongly identify with Great Britain. They should now join NAFTA and open trade deals with other members of the Anglosphere. Trade deals with other countries should follow.

    I've noticed that to. They really are trying to pain a black picture of this day. For some reason anyone who "welcomes" this. I'm just waiting for the PUTIN connection also and the media has done its thing :D

    Once you get past the vote, it cannot be stopped. Now I would think they might be very open to making things easy for Scotland to leave the UK and join the EU but even if England begged to stay, the damage is done and she is gone. No second chance.

    But I am speaking for all of them. If any of these areas want to break free, in a vote by their citizens, then they should be allowed to do so. And if they then want to join the EU then that's okay too.

    Obama is a meddling fool, a lame duck who has no knowledge of either British history or its people. This is the same guy who had Winston Churchill's bust removed from the Oval Office and who gave a set of Walmart CD's of his speeches to the British PM.

    The people of Canada. Australia. New Zealand and other countries will certainly support Great Britain, just as they have always done.

    This "American Hard Right" nonsense is foolish propaganda with no basis in fact.
