Off Topic Election Campaign

EU
The UK only needs to retain ecomomic ties with the EU, not overall legislative ties and financial control from Frankfurt. Before the EU there was the FTA Free Trade area, so the EU tariff excuse is nonsense and used to wield the economic hammer to batter voters into voting pro EU. The UK could be a special case anyway due to the Sterling being a globally traded currency. If the EU can sign trade deals with other economic unions, why can't the EU sign trade deals with the UK should the UK leave the EU? The answer is they will, but only after the UK has left and the "economy" threats therefor become worthless. The UK is Germany's biggest trade partner in the world. Any suggestion Germany would do such damage to it's own economy are totally unfounded and not in touch with reality.

Freedom of movement
The free movement of EU citizens is a fiction, each country still has it's own laws and regulations regarding any application to take up residency in any given member state. The EU regulations actually only facilitate such people only AFTER they have been given permission to take up residency, such as qualifications earned within the EU. The UK still retains the control over who immigrates to the UK and the rules regarding such applications.

Cliamte change
The climate is changing, the climate has always changed and no one has proven one ay or the other if we humans are in fact causing significant climate change. We are currrently working from "best guesses" as proven by over a decade of failed climate modeling. Humans are an input into the climate system therefor we must have some effect however the IPCC claims that we are causing all of the weather fluctuations are alarmist hyperbole (IPCC Chief himself said "Unless we announce disasters no one will listen" May I also point out that, in what circumstances is it useful to silence all opposing opinions and attack those who have opposing opinions. Does one not find that similar to the religiously driven problems we face in the world today.



Obviously I'm playing along here, even if an attempt at ridicule

 

What about a promise not to claim to have "owned somebody with facts" only to then leave when the truth is pointed out to you?

As a confirmed conspiracy theorist what would you do about EU pressure for all member nations (some already do) to punish those that try to downplay or minimize the extent of the holocaust.

As a mod would you ban it?

 

While I did find it odd that both yourself and another member decided it would be good to try gang post me in private messages where I made good arguments and you whinged, I do actually have that "debate" if the good sir would like me to post it here to refute your spurious claims that offend my honourable self.

Furthermore, you good sir asked me to provide you with the info on how I "owned you with facts" previously, which I obliged.

You responded to said proof with "And yet more of the need to build your self esteem by knocking the knowledge of others" to said evidence. If you wish I can provide you with a copy of the posts where I disproved your arrogant "self esteem knocking" comment that claimed I was wrong.

lastly I find it a tad odd you are still bitter about that conversation which started because you decided to champion a murderer.

 

oooohhh matron

Very fitting indeed.

 

If anyone tried to downplay the Irish Holocaust , I would certainly hope sisu would ban them. There was no famine it was a Holocaust.

 

Your distinct lack of knowledge on the subjects discussed, not my ability to read, is the cause of your insecurity in my honest opinion

I attempted to make peace with you 5 times and you ignored said peace overtures

 

One might ask how we even ended up on that subject, this thread is me laughing at me, and a chance for the lads to take the piss without it being combatitive or getting silly

It was a genocide, not a famine. But it is ancient history and not relevant whatsoever to today.

I hope this is real

 

May I ask what has the holocaut got to do with Conspiracy theories. Holocaust denial is nothing less than racism.

and yes, obviously holocaust denial is driven by antisemitism. The user IP should be banned not just the account.

I suspect a follow up point to this maybe?

 

Great politicians answers of all huff and no detail. As a mod you would obviously uphold our notable tradition of allowing threads to go way off topic but could you ever justify closing one?

 

You do realise sisu isnt up to be mod. He states this thread is a bit of craic.

 

Was just trying to ask what he would close a thread for as he appears to be up for anything!

 

I'm not a politician, obviously.

Please provide the whole line not the little bit that suits your agenda. That is a media tactic, you are attempting to make me seem arrogant. It was a reply to your antagonistic approach to discussion and references to my supposed assumed superiority. I certainly explained to you that my writing style can seem that way but it is not the case, in fact I explained that to you twice. Quite possibly I write this way from years of writing technical documentation. I try leave no room for ambiguity so that may seem "arrogant" or "superior"

There is a standard all Mods adhere to, loosly, they can make calls as they see fit. Certain threads will be closed immediately, pathetic wum threads will be laughed at and when the fun is over, they are closed usually. This is a question better answered by the actual mods, of which I am not, and will not be either as I would not win any vote, this thread is just me laughing at myself, as sour as you have turned it, that's the truth

 

I am in the pot for the vote unless the smods kick me out, though we all know I am an also ran I just want to avoid a possible FIFA type Blatter the only candidate election

 

In that case youve got my vote

 

Wohoo!, was totally expecting an "embarrassing overwhelming indication I am not welcome" or "am too annoying" 0

1 vote will do me, well 2 as Tobes' vote is a shoein

#yourereallyharvestingmyvotearentyou

 

Sorry for derailing the thread somewhat but clearly not my intention just thought I could get my little dig in and in character of the thread sisu would offer pre election promises of all kinds ( no octupus porn please).

PS it was also a reminder that the conversation is still open.

 

Fair enough mate, and @Hash does like his octupus porn.

You threw me with your first post on this thread, but I think I managed to muddle through your questions while keeping my dignity and integrity intact
