It's not global warming.

We're not neccessarily changing the weather
Yes, we are. This kind of climate has no precedent throughout all of history.

Umm, what? It's a 400,000 year graph and humans have been around for about 200,000 years.

There were some negotiations in the past, but they're dead in the water. And said negotiations have been going on for 40 years now. Turkey is extremely unlikely to join the EU ever, especially now. And they aren't really seeking for Ukraine to join since Ukraine is such a populous country, and the EU has enough of its own problems. And most Balkan countries aren't really up to their membership standards as of now, so they've hit a wall right now. There won't be any more large expansions like the one in 2004 or 2007 again. Not to mention that there were 15-18 years between those countries in 2004 joining, and them being freed from complete Russian domination in 1989.
Great, but that doesn't ameliorate concerns about accountability. Or, for the matter, the most important thing: economics.

I honestly don't know Wilders that well. But from the looks of it, he's just head of one of those generic, hard right Eurosceptic parties which exist in every country and generally share the same name.
I don't think anybody would oppose the EU if it weren't so undemocratic and expansionist. An organisation run by an unelected commission seeking to incorporate Turkey is not an organisation anybody should seriously trust.

Don't worry, their idiotic parties will be booted out of parliament once the people realize they won't do anything except for spouting their Fascist bullshit. Just like with Golden Dawn.
Come on, Comms. You know better than to equate two parties with fascism when all they share is Euroscepticism. I'll maybe give you La Pen. But people like Wilders and Farage are no fascists.

When you tell people you want less spending on healthcare, education, welfare, stimulus or anything else which is supposed to be beneficial you immediately become the bad guy.
I'm comfortable with that, though.
It can't be any coincidence, of course, that the efficient guys are always evil in the movies.

we're not neccessarily changing the climate to things that haven't happened or haven't been seen before.
I literally just demonstrated to you that this is, in fact, what we are doing.

I'm waiting for somebody to show me where this is prohibited by the Constitution. . .

I don't think I've met a person living in the EU (who isn't British) who hates the EU. But then, on the other hand, the only two EU people I know are Flee and Isara.
You aren't looking hard enough, then. People like Marine La Pen and Geert Wilders do exist.

A united Europe should be better for the member states. That's why it should exist. If you don't want an European Union to exist then that's a completely different story.
If you're going to make assertions, at least make them well. All you're doing is saying "No, this" with zero support. I also have no idea what partition you're drawing between a "united Europe" and the European Union.

Good luck trying to dismantle the EU or the Eurozone. That's going to happen some time around..... never. I think most of the important EU countries minus the UK would rather go into a depression than leave EU or the Eurozone. It's too symbolic.
The Eurozone will fail provided somebody undoes Draghi's good work, which is highly likely given the influence of the Bundesbank. It's possible that the Eurozone could be made to "work", but not without significant inconsistencies and risk. If the Eurozone lasts forever, it will be a great tragedy.

They've only had a (near) majority in parliament for a month and a half. Give them some time before reaching conclusions.
I don't need more than a month and a half to tell you that fiscal profligacy and fucking over the bond market are bad ideas.

Or maybe should Europe wake the fuck up besides Britain playing the smartass? The problem doesn't exist in Greece and it's an issue at the European level. Have you not been paying attention to anything I said? You obviously haven't, since my entire issue is that it's a problem at the European level. . . Which is why I don't want a European level to exist. So no problems can operate on that plane.

No more economically illiterate than the retards running the country before.
The retards running the country before had no control over the important policies. Now you have retards running the country with no control over the important policies, and stupid ideas for what they do control.

No, it's not worse than a collapse that would inevitably drag down the Eurozone with it. Nor it necessarily means a malformed monetary policy either. It's worse precisely because malformed monetary policies are more dangerous and lead to more hardship. What's worse, Greece entering Depression-level economic problems because it has mishandled the drachma. Or 19 countries entering Depression-level economic problems because the Euro has been mishandled by a central bank the individual members have little control over?

I would rather that it wouldn't collapse at all.
I'd rather it collapsed sooner, not later.
It's either that or a significantly malformed monetary policy, which is even worse.

so I wasn't able to vote for SYRIZA like I wanted to.
It's okay, you still got the economically illiterate government you wanted.

Multiculturalism, ey.
This is what happens when you have two sets of values operating in a single society.
you can't be serious.
Why wouldn't I be? Culture matters, yo.

He's a strong case for conservatism as a mental illness.
So we're just going to ignore the opposition to nuclear energy and GMOs, the denial of theological motivation, the calls for price controls and numerous other things from the Left? Great. Good to know.
