Peztopiary posted:why not? it's not like it took a 2/3rds majority or whatever to join. well I suppose that's a fair argument, but in general a simple majority feels fairly undemocratic to me when the vote is very close. it doesn't really represent the will of the people in that situation, imo

Anchorage is like a lovely Denver with a little bit more snow. If you live on the north slope or Aleutians then you can lay claim to some special snowflake syndrome. Or even the interior or the SE to a much lesser extent. But not Anchorage.

I think what the left did wrong this campaign was that they didn't accuse their political opponents of being racist enough. American liberals, learn your lesson here.

You know that cartoon with the British flag as a beautiful butterfly coming out of the EU box? Had the artist zoomed out a little bit the webbing full of country shaped blobs stuck in it would have shown up. Had they zoomed out further, two enormous spiders (one red, white, and blue the other red with a yellow star) would have appeared. We're going to have you now, US or China, and neither has forgotten nor forgiven.

I put £30 on Brexit. Returns £120. Which I think will probably cover the fall in value of sterling against the euro when I go on my hols in July.

We're going to have you now, US or China, and neither has forgotten nor forgiven. More like three, Russia's had it out for Britain for awhile, especially since their American's oldest and bestest buddy, and anything that weakens the EU is good for Putin so he can return to Russia to it's former glory through a conquering (or at least militarily or economically intimidating) a divided Europe.
