Serious I also think the decision was wrong but seeing EU gets poked in the butt by erdogan this year and putin last year and greece the last 5 years shows how high the impact of this glorious Union really is and that played a huge role in the decision.
Also dont care much for political shenanigans where the financial sector is the biggest loser but I do care for friends and relatives in GB and when I have to wait 5 mins longer for passport check so be it. All this "boohoo the economy" is plain annoying. Let it come and we talk and then we Krauts will surely stay at GBs side.

They're obviously not racist for voting leave, but the reasons behind their vote smells of a xenophobic side that often leads to racism; they're afraid of the power of the EU and the laws they'll enforce with the refugee crisis - they want sovereignty, which is fine and all, except they only want sovereignty in this case to avoid refugees coming to their country.
Correct, and racism is still the correct term in this situation.
What the fuck are you talking about. Do you not think people are born equal? Were you more worth than someone else, the moment we were born?
And it is ok to not be a man, if you don't feel like "a man" no matter what your birth certificate says.
Please...
Do you even know what the EU can? EU can set up conventions that would force UK to change their immigration laws if they wanted to stay in the EU.
Possibly, although we'll see if the EU-bosses will let them stay that long...

Well tell a blind kid he was born equally and has same possibilities in life like other dude.
For all i care people can identify as attack helicopters.
Got no issue with it untill it is used as a tool to promote a fashion.
See i am scared of crab people.

of course people aren't born equal, one of the most naive statements i've ever read on this site

Equal as in social position, or equal as in human beings?

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is something (highly) idealistic, and I`d say that people to be born (as) equals is quite an ideal to stive for

Ok maybe we're misunderstanding each other, obviously, and nobody is questioning this, not everybody is born equal, in the sense of your social standpoint, the opportunities you will have etc. But in my truly honest opinion everyone is born equal in the sense of what you as a person is "worth" compared to any other person.

your belief is one thing but unfortunately reality is another. on the case of a person's "worth" say that to the countless girls who have been killed in china due to female infanticide or the refugees who died at sea and were refereed to as "cockroaches" by the dailymail

That doesn't invalidate my point that, at the moment they were born, they were worth just as much as any other person. All it proves is that the world is a fucked up place.
That the some Chinese families didn't want their only child to be a woman, cause that would in some cases mean the end of their family legacy, does not mean that the baby that was born was less worth than any other person.
And because a right wing newspaper writes edgy headlines to appeal to their xenophobic readers, does not mean that the refugees were less worth than anyone else. They might have been less worth in the eyes of the Dailymail (or/and their readers), but to me, that doesn't count for shit.

thats why i said your opinions are one thing and reality is another. and yes it does invalidate your point, the moment they are born they aren't equal, the baby is less worth, that's why people will walk past that same baby a few days later while it lies dead in a gutter and not give any fucks

I'm not into politics even one bit so I have no understanding what happened, why and what for, however my neighbour lady has a husband in England who was working for their living and now she will need some kind of permission to see her husband - from what I've heard from her and I find that pretty sad.

GB got the banks off their backs and gained sovereignty. Overall it was a good idea.

especially during the peak if this issue in china, you can't really expect people to "give a fuck." i'm by no means supporting the murder of innocent girls but when your government introduces policy which cripple your family for having a girl people tend to avoid the consequences by the simplest solution - get rid of the girl.

You're still missing my point I dont know how to explain it in other ways...
"Just" because they're killed because of their gender doesn't make them less valued. The parents don't deem their new born child less worthy as a human being because it's a girl. They deem it unfit to carry on the family's legacy due to a certain Chinese policy. They take the consequences, but this daughter isn't more or less worth than any boy ever born in China.
You have to think about this "worth"-idea as a term that transcends the opinion of humans. All men are equal.
That's pretty simplified lmao
