Haha Haha BOOM
EU Membership Referendum (Brexit)
Plus a second letter saying we dont want an extension.
Plus a third letter reminding the EU that we will refuse to pass on intelligence information if they offer another extension. Given whats going on in the middle east that could sway Macron and others to just say enough is enough and the UK should basically leave asap. In such circumstances the UK parliament would have no choice but to accept no deal or revoke article 50 before the 31st of October 2019.
Humans are groupish. It is in our dna, becasue humans who were not groupish and were excluded from the group - died - and their genes were not as sucessful as those who fitted in to the group. Hence shame is perhaps the most powerful negative emotion humans feel. We don't have ancestors that weren't strongly groupish.Euler wrote: ↑Fri Oct 18, 2019 9:49 pmBeing well travelled I hate nationalism.

There are groups everywhere and involved in everything we do. From participating in this forum, using this software, participating in the market, choosing our football team, driving our brand of car, wearing a brand of clothes - every single thing in the end is driven to be part of the group or to rebel against the group (to build favour from another group). To want to be part of a group is human.
I did once wrestle with the idea, can't we all just be friends and get along. Trouble is, there are good ideas and bad ideas, good people and bad people. I believe in individual freedom and liberty. So I have to tolerate bad ideas and bad people, to a certain extent. Everyone getting along is a utopia that can't occur with the natural variation within our species (that natural variation is ultimately a good thing which will lead to species survival).
In the meantime, we need to find ways to stop us killing each other, forming large groups and engaging in war just because the imaginery figmen in the mind x calls god is different from the imagery being in the mind that y calls god. Part of the ways to stop large group killing each other does (in part) involve nation states. There are probably also other ways.

On a more serious note, my ex from almost 20 odd years ago that I spent the Aug bank holiday with in Thorpe Park thinks we should get married so she can get an Irish passport. She has massive tits.
Ireland/UK travel and work restrictions don't apply post-Brexit as there's an agreement in place since decades ago that predates the EU that allows the Irish and UK to freely travel between each other, and work in each others countries without restrictions. That's for personal stuff though, anything business or bank related is still under the remit of the EU. So regardless of that....
Anyway massive tits, huge

Without dark, we wouldn't know light, without left, we wouldn't know right, without sad, we wouldn't know happy and on and on... we have to hate something in order to love something. Nationalism & Globalism is no different... society imo rides the wave of each but its simple, you need one to highlight the other. Without broke, there is no fix.gazuty wrote: ↑Sun Oct 20, 2019 7:25 amHumans are groupish.

There's a lot of higher thinking about the human condition here and it's nice to hear. It's just a shame that the so many people in the wider world would just respond with a grunt.
