UK "Brexit" Referendum
« on: Thu, 23 June 2016, 21:44:11 »
As of right now it's likely that the Leave will win. I can't believe it.


Quite surprising after all the polling indicated it would be remain.

The world could be in for some interesting times then.

I wonder what will happen to the Commonwealth.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I really can't quite believe it. We have succeeded, even in Wales!

To all of our European friends : We bid you a loving farewell. We adore you, we just don't adore that Union or The Commission. We're sending help; hopefully France or NL will follow us on the next lifeboat.

I was hoping Brits are smart as a nation... What a mistake that was.
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

A main leaving point was that £350m would go to the NHS instead of the EU. A leader of a party that supported leaving said on television that it was a mistake this morning. Sigh.

A lot were up yours votes and Im fine with that, rather not have random people in other countries telling me what I can and can't do or can and cannot trade to, they can bugger right off.
anyway you could say you US people are idiots for choosing independence instead of being ruled by our glorious nation, still better than your vote in the coming weeks you get to choose between a literal mirror of the nazi rise to power, or satan have fun ^~^

I think the UK will be an interesting case in how an EU exit could work. They are certainly poised to do it the least painfully (and lord know it won't be painless) as they still have the GBP. If a referendum in, say, France succeeded first it would be a whole lot more painful.

I won't really weigh in on the political aspects of it, but from an economic viewpoint it will certainly be interesting to watch.

Agreed.  Especially during the interim.  This is going to take a couple of years by prediction.  It's sort of like during the divorce, the time that you have to coexist until one party or the other moves out.

Interesting to watch is I think a great phrase... like a trainwreck in slow motion?  When you're glad you're not in it?

I think what's more interesting is to see how the other major economies and MNCs will react to this...

I think there's too much volatility and nobody really knows what to do until at least until UK sits down with EU on the T&Cs.

With Cameron resigning that uncertainty just get worse until Oct when a new PM gets the unenviable position of beginning those negotiations. Hell, if the main proponents get their way they don't even want to start the process until 2018!

Hey, it's democracy! The will of the people!

The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.

What a shocker. Public schools, colleges, and universities all train people to be favorable towards socialism, communism, and open borders.

You can thank the "social studies" departments for making it all possible.

I won't even dispute what he said, but it has **** all to do with the Remain votes.

Thanks, Jacobolus. Isn't it funny how Monty Python covered it all decades ago?

Something about the way the word looks and sounds phonetically makes me illogically angry.

Except that young, post-secondary educated people were by far the most remain voters. It's worth noting though that they also had the lowest turnout.

What a shocker. Public schools, colleges, and universities all train people to be favorable towards socialism, communism, and open borders.

Nothing wrong with teaching that -- what an absurd strawman on what I've said. When material is selectively taught so that people come out in full and open favour of open borders, high socialism, and even communism, one has to wonder what's going on there.

Since I've been in and following post-secondary education for the past decade, you would hardly believe what people believe there these days (as a result of what's being taught). It's common to support censorship of any perspective they dislike. It's common to support racial and gender discrimination and segregation, so long as it's the kind they want.

I'm not sure it will change anytime soon, though. It didn't used to bother me one bit as I generally agreed with what they were saying, but the last few years they've abandoned evidence and reason and have just become another religious group, as far as they act. The tantrums and calls for violence when they don't get their way is what's most concerning. They're so used to getting their way -- hence their dramatic reaction to the leave results.

I think both sides are way blowing out of proportions the effects that the Brexit will have. Just because they're out, doesn't mean the economy will collapse, or that immigration will stop, or even that they won't voluntarily implement some EU policies in order to maintain consistent trade. People are being so dramatic about it.

As the father of 2 children entering college in the very near future, it is deeply disturbing to me to read this.

My children's beliefs are the diametric opposite of what you describe, but I don't even want them in an environment like that.

It's so fascinating to read about American colleges in a thread about Brexit.
