    I hope she does.
    Would be one silver lining of Trumps victory, if we were able to get shot of that poisonous bitch <laugh>

    I just need them to have the EU's best interests at heart. In the long run that will be better for the UK. It's this negotiation from narrow self-interest that causes the problems

    I think they were the two who could raise the most money to run a campaign that lasted for over a year.

    She suffers from epilepsy and recently had brain surgery to attempt to cure it.
    There's no way that she'd risk moving to a country with the healthcare system that they have, especially under Trump.

    Not at all.
    Most of the non consequential things that happen in EU countries will not effect me at all. So why should I ever have to concern myself with it?
    And likewise, why should I ever want to get involved in their politics? I do not pay taxes to their government, so my interests should in no way have any sort of ramifications for them, postively or negatively, and vice versa.

    You are living in a dream world if you want the whole world to live in some generic, samey, bland superstate.
    Each individual country and culture has things of beauty. I can love and respect other cultures for their differences and marvel at them.
    I do not need everyone to be the same, to think the same, and to act the same, as me in order to get along with them.

    I've repeatedly stated that Corbyn's unelectable, so you're wrong, as usual.

    The Founding Fathers created the Electoral College because they were actually “afraid of direct democracy,” (according to FactCheck.org.)

    In fact, Alexander Hamilton thought the electors would make sure “the office of president will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications.”
    It would be interesting if the Electoral College took this obligation seriously.....

    Neither do I. But other countries' actions can affect me and we need supra-national laws to stop that. The nuclear non-proliferation treaty is a good example. I would only have a limited number of laws at world level, with huge freedoms locally.

    I think there are things that need to be decided at different levels. Something can be decided at a parish level and other things should be decided at a world level. It gets ridiculous when the SNP decides that they should get involved in grammar schools in England and Wales.

    My thoughts exactly, the beauty of us is that we are different, we should be different, embrace that don't reject it without getting to know it..
    Form your own opinions of the world, don't allow you to be force feed other peoples opinion who may have a certain agenda they wish to peddle!

    1) There is a difference between "feel sorry for me " to "please be my friend"...I don't want anyone's pity...but after being ****ed off in school all day I just want someone to be nice to me <wah>

    2) as for offering anyone for a fight online...get real...I am a real man...I eat quiche...I would offer to meet for a mindful session and to share a tofu burger.

    Apart from that spot on <ok>

    He already liked my comment, so I doubt it. He probably agrees with me.
