the main culture of the masses doesn't go far beyond excessive drinking, fighting and fucking really.
This sums up 99.9% of men...

I only got through 40s of that video.
I know what you mean...It's hard to get though such naivete, without surrendering yourself to the bitter truth of reality.

It's hard to see how the disintegration can be stopped now. Basically, the EU now is popular and widely supported only in Eastern Europe, they had some unique experience westerners hadn't.

Hating and being disappointed/ashamed of an attitude are very different things. For example, disappointment involves hope, as in a hope that something would not have happened, which is
slightly different from hatred. If you're looking to incite emotion on the basis of a strawman, that's not an awfully constructive or smart line of discourse for this particular topic.
As you can see, Manwe only deals in absolutes.

Actually, it's quite the opposite from the looks of it. Support for EU has risen after UK decided to leave: (

I don't know if annul is even acceptable to the EU, lol, they seem to be taking a "don't let the door hit you on the way out" attitude, perhaps motivated by the potential to erode London's financial center status in favor of their respective capitals.

Regarding the politics, what I'm hearing now is that they're trying to negotiate a way for the UK to be more or less in the EU without being "in" the EU.
Also the refugee situation hit close to home last night. I had a friend who was accosted by four North African "immigrants" in a subway station who surrounded him and told him not to buy a train ticket. They started talking about how they were going to beat him up and take was wallet in Arabic. Lucky for him he grew up in a household where the language was spoken regularly and answered them back. At that they immediately backed off because...get this....they thought he was another Muslim and that made him OK in their books.
This makes me ask the question: how much are we obligated to be "tolerant" towards people that are themselves extremely xenophobic? These people quite literally thought they were entitled to kill my friend because he wasn't a Muslim and then when they thought he was he was all of a sudden OK in their book.

I got accosted by 5 white guys in Southampton once. They gave me a concussion and broke my friend's jaw and knocked out three of his teeth.
If by "these people" you mean Muslims or North Africans in general, then you're being a xenophobe. Violence transcends religion and ethnicity.
