Politics 7 years, 11 months agoIt couldn’t illustrate things better. One of the very men who insist the Uk out of the EU will be better for the UK, financially and politically…set up another major fund…not in London but in Dublin Irns in the EU):

Politics 7 years, 11 months agoThe pro-brexit side has never claimed the UK will be better off after leaving the EU
WHAT?????? They never stop claiming this. I’ve never heard a pro-Brexit MP or activist who admitted the opposite. They make endless claims that [magically] they will be better off. Unfortunately, I don’t think UK politics is covered much in the US media. th…[Read more]

Politics 7 years, 11 months agoTo my understanding, you’re entirely missing the point. The pro-brexit side has never claimed the UK will be better off after leaving the EU… just that it will remain an independent country. The alternative they believe they are voting against, is effectively becoming a state in the EU. Border control is just a visible wedge issue which…[Read more]

Politics 7 years, 11 months agoI sure hope the “Department for Exiting the European Union” works out the Ireland border kinks before exit day next year. And what will Scotland do, seeing how they are not into this?

Politics 7 years, 11 months agoThe control of the border issue is all the more ridiculous considering the UK and Ireland were the ony Western European countries not part of the Schengen treaty meaning people still had to present passports or ID at the border while I could drive from Lisbon to Warsaw without a single border check. The UK really had the best arrangement, a…[Read more]

Politics 7 years, 11 months agoWe have had peace in Ireland for 20 years now. No daily reports of IRA bombings, kidnappings, murders, bank robberies and none from the Unionist side either. Thousands of people travel in both direction across the border between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic every day. Some people live in the “South” and work in the “North” and vice ve…[Read more]

Politics 7 years, 11 months agoWhere do people get the idea that cultures don’t or shouldn’t ever change or evolve? It depends on the nature of the change. If European culture had been frozen before the influences of Asia and the Americas, think of how boring the diet would be, because Europe was culinarily-deprived. No vanilla or chocolate. No tomatoes or potatoes. Most of the…[Read more]

Like it was a good thing when classical Greece and Rome “changed” or should I say degraded into the centuries we now call the Dark Ages, when reason gave way to superstition, self flagellation, and idiocy? On having multiple languages; it’s inefficient. You have to print everything multiple times. One language, whatever it is…would do a lot to…[Read more]

Since cultural change and globalism are inevitable, I think the issue becomes how to best compromise tradition with globalism. I hate not being able to order the food I want in some exclusively-Spanish restaurants in Miami; all I can do is avoid them or go with a Cuban friend. I like my fish (cervantes).

Can you imagine the utter ghastliness of a world without European cheeses, chocolate, pastries, sausages, sauces and alcoholic beverages? It it simply too horrific to imagine! Cultural change is so underrated.
-
Chocolate came from Africa and vanilla from Mexico and Mesoamerica. Most of the spices used in sausage making come (came) from outside Europe. European meals in the dark and middle ages were pretty unimpressive affairs by today’s standards.

Robert, I think the Church is responsible for the de-enlightenment of which you wrote.
