How do yall feel about this? They put it to a vote and it's official now. Within the next few years the U.K will be leaving the E.U.
I think it's a good move. Let the rest sink or swim with each others' money.

Markets don't like change; stocks will rebound.
I'm more concerned about what I'll do the rest of my summer, so I frankly don't care.
This topic should go well...

....and reconfirm several biases I have.

After this it will all make sense.

That is why such important decisions should not be left to the average Jo, ignorant Flo, idiotic Stu and xenophobic Jan.

They are not even fully aware what they voted for and why.

Democracy means you choose your leaders. Let them decide what is best for your country after consulting the experts.

I'm neither British nor leaving in the UK, but this genuinely upsets me. I think it will backfire in many ways.

Feeling really bad for my UK friends, they are all in their late 20s and absolutely devastated today.

There are some self-contradictory ideas in this post.

Perhaps some of the drive behind the "leave" vote might have to do with the average Joe being told the width of the elastic is too wide on his underwear by some bureaucrat in Brussels for whom average Joe never cast a vote.....

If Europe had stayed at the economic community level there probably wouldn't have been a leave push. And I'm sure the diktat for unfettered immigration had nothing to do with it either.

In any case, I'm not a Brit, but I respect their vote if that is what they choose to do.
not really into politics or what's going on, even though it's most likely important. ::: shrug:::: but somehow I don't like the idea of them leaving. I heard about the death of what's happened to one of their own, and its sad, it probably didn't help the fear. it just seemed as if they are more isolated than ever. well, I expect that a lot from islands. UK always wanted to be separated. They had even this plan to build a bridge where cars can actually drive to the UK from European countries instead of taking a boat on the English channel, but they refused, saying they love the feel of being an island. isolated. it kind of protects them too in a way, since back in the world war 2, the germans had a hard time I heard getting there.

It's funny that the desire for independence which motivated this is only going to end the United Kingdom.

Anyway, good time to buy stocks and travel to London!
Please don't come any further than London! We are fed up of seeing foreigner faces on our streets! Especially pretty women faces. The reason why the average English woman has lost their confidence smile

As for stocks....you're welcome, but only after we buy some!

Aries moon women and the stock market.

UK market has lost today( within 8 hours) the equivalent of its EU payments for 15 years!
"We need change!"

"We demand change!"

*gets change*

"Dafuq do we do now?"

I think it's time to cue Russia into invading UK.

Pew, pew!
omg...I don't believe what Trump is doing.

Scotland overwhelmingly wanted to remain in the EU, and he's hauling his orange ass over there (where he's already loathed, or so I heard) to 'congratulate' them for 'taking back their country.'

smh

wtf is he DOING?
Yo if the UK was putting money into the market and getting nothing in return for it then the union would appear to have no benefit for them.

Only negative outcome could possibly be increased trade restrictions for the UK with the EU now... Which that would totally blow.

I wouldn't say all English women are bad looking....Just jesus christ. I mean the south has women who look like pigs in a stuffed skinroll blanket. But that's manageable under most circumstances that when you get a pig shave off a few layers and make bacon. But you guys have cows and elephants who walk the street barefoot and drunk and smell like something got caught under their infinite jellyrolls and died. I've seen maybe only 31 good looking English women there during my entire stay. That's saying something to me. That either I'm not looking hard enough....Or god really hates England. Lol Sorry I had to let that one outLaughing Big Grin

Damn, bro...


Cold, dawg.

I'm just telling the truth. The truth is served cold. Even it's mainly comedic but I'm telling some true life stories here that happened no less than 4 years ago.
Guys, I did not say English women are bad looking! It's about how they perceive themselves. I often see article like this one:

http://metro.co.uk/2016/06/24/british-women-have-the-second-lowest-self-esteem-in-the-world-5964813

From my personal observations (based on their exterior only) I would say British women in their teens and early twenties are among the most beautiful in the world. Shame it only lasts a heartbeat.

"Rowling had made herself one of the most vocal public figures on the issue over the past few weeks with a steady flow of tweets, culminating in a blog post earlier this week that warned her fellow citizens against voting to leave the EU.

That's very one sided to think they are villains. I'm sure they had their reasons. But villains they are not.
After reading these posts, it is not surprise why millennials are so deeply despised by the other generations.

The fact that you losers believe the financial regulations, government laws,rules and other dictates for the UK people should be determined by a bunch of nameless, faceless and unaccountable bureaucrats in Belgium says it all.

No one, but NO ONE, should be telling the UK what to do except their elected leaders.

You idiots have a lot to learn about good government and laws.

You are a disappointment, Tiz.

The fact that you side with Dickbreath in a move to overlook the will of the people in favor of government tyranny is very telling of your character (or lack thereof).

Self-contradictory? Like what?

Besides, you are wrong.

EU did not dictate anything to the average Joe. EU found that our seas will soon be overfished, for example.

In consequence, that ignorant fisherman should better go plant some potatoes instead. Or whatever he wants. Too many fishermen, too little fish to catch.

Shame that the fisherman was so stupid that could only do one task. The things is, he will have to stop over-fishing, no matter where the orders are coming from.


"Diktat for unfettered immigration...???" LOL. NowTHIS is a most self contradictory fart ....A Diktator (notice the spelling) promoting the freedom of movement ....just lol
So, by your logic, the fisherman votes for one of his "betters", so that he can be told what to do. Because anyone who fishes for a living must be an idiot.

And, you conflate Schengen agreement-a good idea, but problematic when the "leadership" enables mass immigration into the Schengen region, while threatening countries who are alarmed at being overwhelmed (Slovakia, for example).

And look up the word diktat. It describes precisely the regulation about cucumbers you posted further down the thread.

Of course, we'll see attempts from Brussels to punish England for its vote, to set an example to other nations who are considering their own referendums.

Tiz, you and Dickbreath are advocating that the will of the people be observed ONLY when it is in keeping with your twisted socialist bullshit mentalities.

However, when the will of the people is against your socialist shit, you advocate government tyranny to overshadow the people.

In terms of historical figures, you have more in common with Stalin than you do with Churchill.
There's a lot of time to see the effects of this.

There is also a possibility of UK staying as a EEA member(European Economic Area if I remember correctly), where it will still be part of the single market but out of the EU (:

Too soon to say anything.

she's just very very disappointed. like the rest of Scotland it seems (I think she's from Edinburgh)

and its just opinion. if she feels that they are somehow turning their backs, then that's how she feels.

Trump's pretty much had a permanent hard-on ever since the results on Thursday, so that alone is very troubling.

White privilege doesn't exist. Maybe in the 50's and 60's it did. But not now. The only thing that holds one back today is their skillset or attitude.
Personally if I approve of it or not. Well I see the E.U as a sinking ship and the U.K was quick to get off of it before they sunk too. Now in some ways they can deal with their own issues and worry about themselves. If it truly helps them in the long run then maybe it was the best choice.

This.

If we have another referendum in 2 years, REMAIN will win for sure.

In fact, we don't even need to leave. Just get these youngsters a bit more agitated...collecting signatures has already started, for example.

And of course, next time I will be voting as well.Big Grin......every vote counts!

I bet UK will never leave EU.


And this is coming from someone who predicted the "Leave" win.

Once more people know what the EU actually is (because a lot who voted out didn't even know what it is) might want to vote remain. Many brexit voters regret their decision.Laughing

Brexit - seemed like a stupid choice (to risky with more loss than gains). Even while taking the typical human ignorance into account (that's visible all over the world) - i didn't thought they'd reach so many votes favoring the Brexit. Around 40% (max...) - seemed more plausible. :S I guess the fear and hate factor - was stronger than i anticipated.

Some brits acted surprised of David Cameron's decision to renounce his position - but it's quite understandable. With U.K. as part of E.U. - he was sailing in known waters and he was prepared for that, while the Brexit... really took him by surprise (as if he was betrayed by his own people). So, i guess - he wasn't whiling to pay the price - for other peoples mistakes. That, and it's probbaly out of his character - to go with risky choices of this magnitude, and same goes - for rebuilding the British empire. He didn't sign-up for that.

I sold mine the next day... at a loss. Not much though, less than 1k pound - while others lost millions so... no biggie. You win some - you loose some. ^^

Congrats. smile
