Personally i never use gendered slurs of any sort.

gendered slurs are an outdated concept and we should be free to insult everyone however we like

Oh, come on. Is this about history or about the principle of union versus dissolution? Because, if it was about history, we would have never allowed Germany to reunite.

The british were opressing the irish to the point of stationing troops, which regularly committed what would undoubtedly be refered to as war crimes, and had a history of violently slaughtering Irish catholics, which lead to the Irish basically wanting independence from that, shock horror, a very simplified version of history but that's pretty much the reason they wanted to get out and rightfully so.

With that explained, can you please explain to me how this is in anyway similar or even comparable to Britain and Brexit?

brussels says we cant have bendy bananas anymore and homosexual education in schools is mandatory now which is basically the same thing as what happened to ireland if you think about it

You first reply to a post about Americans grossly misusing this woman's death as a counterpoint to gun control, and then basically you saying "egh well I mean Europeans and Brits talk poo poo in the US gun control threads i mean SHRUG that's to be expected right what's your problem"

You don't wade into an argument, announce your loving shrug and then leave feeling like some kind of schoolteacher telling the kids off. If any non-US posters do it in US threads, then yes they are cunts for doing so. But that doesn't make you anymore justified for coming in and doing the same thing regardless of your tone. So please, gently caress off and take your own smugness with you cuz if that wasn't your intention, then poo poo man you hosed up.

And YOU are a loving idiot for tarring different issues with the same brush just because "oh it's all about countries splitting apart right I mean whussat about?!". Ireland/UK is about history, the UK/EU is about union versus dissolution. You do not loving compare Ireland's enormously difficult history with Britain over the last 800 years to the EU which has only been around for 60 loving years. One is a convoluted mess of historical, political and religious disagreements through persecution, oppression and outright slaughter. The other is socioeconomical and political in nature with a little racially-charged action festering underneath.

Read a Simple English wiki before you even ask such a question.

Britain has had a bit of difficult history with the Continent, though. Caesar, the Armada, Napoleon, that mustachioed fellow. I don't see why letting history go is good for the goose but not for the gander.

Well otherwise as long as we can keep the French out who are responsible for France's approach to cultural integration then yeah sure French people can come over.

You can enjoy our damp countryside and, erm, start a bunch of boulengeries for people to hang out in when they come on holiday.

I'm trying to think of what the equivalent of British people on holiday in the south of France in British themed pubs would be and I'm having a lot of trouble.

Best to wait till police have questioned him before deciding if he was a neonazi foreign hater hellbent on destruction of anyone who enables immigration or another sad statistic in the dismantling of the social safety net that used to make this country a great place to live.

Honestly though, either way, this country is orbiting the shitter. The fact this could even happen means that this country has fallen so far and so fast that I'm amazed we've not noticed the ground yet and realise how close we are to ending up like russia.
