endlessmonotony posted:Honestly I'm more talking about posturing to discourage the English from trying anything dumb. England being about to 'try something dumb' implies it has the ability to do so. This is a weird fantasy that I think is aimed at giving excuses to twist the knife. You don't really need an excuse tbh. Do what you will.

I watched Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 11/9 a while back, and while it's obviously a very one-sided viewpoint, it was pretty damning on the dirty tricks the DNC deployed to get Clinton nominated last time. This time round the Dems seem to have concluded the reason Clinton lost is because she just wasn't centrist enough. 100% wrong-o. Bernie is going to crush them all.

I know its some sort of collective brain spiderism but its still boggles the (non addled) mind The north is not hell bent on staying in the UK. There's a relatively small core of dedicated unionists and a lot of soft support for the union (even in many cases from people of nationalist/catholic backgrounds who vote for nationalist parties) from people who are afraid of upsetting the apple cart so to speak. In light of Brexit, unification could look to those people as the least disruptive option, so it's not inconceivable that they could be won over. Also IIRC polling shows only a slim majority for unification in the republic, and even that erodes once the idea of increased taxation is mentioned.

Private Speech posted:One time my mum (who doesn't live in the UK) called me while I was waiting on a bus to get home from work and we spoke in my native Czech, as one, you know, would; and this old woman leaned out of a window above me and screamed she's calling the police so that the immigration comes and gets me. I hastily went away after that beacuse gently caress getting detained by them even for a bit. I've never actually said this to another poster before but that has to be one of the best post-user name combos I've ever seen.

Wikipedia says not technically the UK but hold wait what?quote:LONDON — Lawmakers on the island of Jersey have approved scrapping a decades-old law that prevented married women from talking to the tax authorities without the permission of their husband or filing taxes under their own names, a mechanism described by a local senator as “archaic.”

Every day I wake up and think the Us is filled with dumbest motherfuckers on the planet. Then I see something about the UK and realize that it's not really a competition and that every country might just be full of the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet.

oliwan posted:feel free to show a dutch post of mine that is in any way right wing op Well, as the IK/mini-mod of the Dutch thread one of my only policies was to crack down on people making fun of Flemish and Frisian and Afrikaans, because some posters who speak those things said they felt harassed. Then someone made a post saying Frisian is not a real language (it is legally recognized as one of the two languages of the Netherlands), and I gave them a sixer. At this point you made a long sincere post about why this was wrong of me to do, and it ended with: oliwan posted:We hebben echt geen Amerikanen nodig die ons gaan vertellen wat voor grappen we over andere Nederlandse taalvarianten mogen maken, het is een beetje weird moet ik zeggen. And then you offered to take over as IK. So even though I am a Dutch citizen and equal to you under the law, you said that because I am an immigrant who recently learned the language, I have no right to meddle in the linguistic affairs of this country. After this there were several pages of discussion during which everyone else intensely disagreed with you. The underlying linguistic chauvinism and nativist sentiment, however, is functionally indistinguishable from these "joke posts" of yours in this thread: oliwan posted:Sorry but i bloody agree i aint racist i have worked with people who have been in england for over 5 years and still cant speak english but somehowbget a job. Sorry but f i was to immigrate im making sure im fluent in the mother tounge b4 i even step foot. Why shoukd e have to try and understand them wen they dont want to learn. oliwan posted:I just don't go to a restaurant again if the staff insist on speaking their mother tongue when they can speak English as it's just downright rude. As for holidays I find that most people speak excellent English and admire the fact they are bilingual. When I'm on holiday I always show respect for the culture and countries I visit. The only place I found this difficult to adhere to was America as they were loud and brash... but maybe that's just the part I visited. oliwan posted:On public transport, I find it rude when others don’t just speak their own language, but shout in their own language to each other, it really does make you feel uncomfortable. When we go to other countries on holidays you go their to take in the culture and try as much as you can to learn the language. oliwan posted:I'm sorry but they would expect British people to learn to speak their language from where they came from so why shouldn't they have to learn English if they come to live here? Inside their own home they can speak any language they want but when speaking to a British person they should speak English.
