@Juliusthebastard I think that culture plays an important role. Ireland has a differnt culture than France,English have their own Culture. Japanese have they're own culture, same with Mexicans. I think a country should reflect the culture of the inhabitants in it's region. That's why I think Quebec should be free, but that's neither here or there. The EU is a collective grouping, where people's culture are over looked and we are all seen as blank citizens. Kinda like the USSR.

@Juliusthebastard No worries man;)

@uarecheap Sorry, that comment wasn't on, I admit...
-
@uarecheap Fair enough, but what gives -any- nation or place the right to call itself a nation? What gives country X the ability to say it is a nation?
-
@Juliusthebastard Also, don't just call people idiots, because they have a different opinion than you.

@Juliusthebastard I like European Culture, It's Art, people, but not this political union. The EU is different from disliking a country, since the EU is not a country. Ireland is my country. But what's happening is 75% of our laws are being made by the EU, we have no control of immirgration , we can't control interest rates and when we don't agree with their agenda they refuse to listen and plough on (undemocratically) regardless e.g Lisbon2. These are the effects of a beurocratic superstate.

@uarecheap You mightn't like a lot of current EU -policy-, but that doesn't mean that the EU should be distrusted. That's like disliking a nation because of their current government. Policy is temporary....

@uarecheap Actually the EU frequently opposes big business when it attempts to over ride the safety and wellbeing of it's citizens.
For example, when I met DeRossa in Brussels this June, he explained a measure that he and the Social Democrats prevented being put through the parliament, which would have had put no limit on the amount of hours long haul drivers could work.
I know it's a small example, but the EU parliament does a lot of work for people on the ground.

The Irish people are APPALLED and accuse him of a BREACH OF TRUST after. He voted against the democratic voice of his own people by voting not to recognise the outcome of the rish referendum on Lisbon. Traitor

Proinsias De Rossa betrayed his own people by voting with all the pro lisbon treaty MEP'S not to recognise the democractic outcome of the Irish referendum on Lisbon. He ceased to be a politican that day and became a party to a fascist regeime. Socialist how are ye !
