The 2008 recession woke me up to the Zionist threat to white Christian western society.

ffs I was joking when I said they would kill off major characters every episode to rush to the end but they're actually doing it
does this guy just release spoilers every week or did he tell them all from the beginning?
Some guy from Spain posts them weekly on /tv/.

Worked in McDonalds for a year. Worst job ever, if I'm being honest.
>smell like grease and shit when you come home
>shit pay
>management act like making sandwiches and fries is somehow a military operation
I guess the upside is it never really gets boring, and it's fast paced if you like that sort of stuff. Don't stand around if you've got nothing to do. Management will be on your ass instantly. Fast food is a pretty competitive industry so if you fuck up they'll let you know tenfold.
Not to dishearten you or anything.

Cuck has ran its course as a meme I think.
It was never a meme, and it ran it's course as an insult after the first time it was used.
Asshurt cuck detected.
I don't have a wife, and I've never willingly let her cheat on me
so no, I'm like objectively not a cuck
start using words correctly, made up definitions are autistic as hell
Alright, you're a pretentious retard then. Accurate enough for you?

A few things about Norway, though.
- Norway obtained its relationship with the EU back in the 90's. What it didn't do was join for decades, become one of the Union's 3 largest actors and then leave in the middle of one of the biggest crises the Union has ever seen. It's unlikely that the UK would get the same deal as Norway did.
- Norway is still a member of the EEA (European Economic Area). The membership fees it pays for this are almost identical to what a full EU member pays.
- As a mere member of the EEA and not the EU, Norway gets absolutely no say or vote in what goes on in the EU (compared to the current British input which is quite significant) while still being subject to almost everything the EU decides.
- As such, Norway has still implemented over 75% of all EU legislation incorporated in the EEA without having any say in it at all.
- Norway is bound by the free movement of people, goods, services and capital (the four EU freedoms) just the same, has no say in how it is further implemented and can not deviate from it without leaving the EEA.
- Norway is part of the Schengen agreement which removes borders and allows for a complete freedom of movement for all citizens of any EEA country, meaning its borders are even more open than those of the UK and that it is more closely aligned with the fundamental EU principles than many actual EU member states. This plays a major role in its economic growth and success, as Norway depends on the EU for 60pc of the goods it imports and 80pc of exports which it would not be able to obtain withou following a myriad of EU rules.
- Norway has higher per capita immigration of EU citizens than the UK does.
- Norway has to still abide by all of the EU’s product standards, financial regulations, employment regulations, and substantial contributions to the EU budget without having any say in it whatsoever. The only economic activities Norway is excluded from are agriculture, fishing and customs where they make their own policy.
It's true that Norway is obviously not the UK, but don't think of the country as a success story caused by a heroic refusal to join the EU. Norway is still a full member of the Council of Europe and owes a lot of its economic growth to being a member of the EEA, meaning it still pays millions of dollars a year in fees and is subject to most of the EU's economic legislation without having any say in it whatsoever. Norway is extremely dependent on the European single market and the benefits the EU brings, and it's unlikely the UK would get the same deal if it chose to leave.

Yes, thank you for pointlessly explaining to me that which I already know. I guess you could've "saved yourself a whole lot of effort" and stopped at the first paragraph. The point being that the tactics project fear employs rarely ever pans out accurately. Like Ian said, it isn't a crystal clear black and white "the UK will drift off into the Atlantic if we leave, but it'll remain a utopia if we stay" kind of outcome here. I'm well aware of the economic benefits of the EU, just like I'm aware of the potential cultural and democratic benefits of leaving. You're whole argument seems to be primarily pinned on economic security, and there's much more facets to this debate than you're leading on.

Thought this was interesting: http://www.betteroffout.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Britain-do-not-listen-to-the-Scaremongering-statement-from-the-Board-of-No-to-EU-in-Norway.pdfStatement from the Board of No to EU in Norway
From the campaign in 1994 to keep Norway out of EU, No to EU is familiar with the tactics the British people currently are experiencing.
No to EU is watching the debate in the UK with great interest. Whether the UK leaves the EU or remains in the union is entirely for the British people to decide. The EU Commission in Brussels must also respect this fact.
We know from our own experience the EU system and the government apparatus will do everything possible to inject fear into people about the consequences of leaving the EU.
The disaster stories of lost jobs and a plummeting pound if the UK would dare leave the union, sound desperately familiar to No to EU. Prior to the referenda on EU membership in Norway in 1972 and 1994, the Norwegian people were told the industry would flee the country and 100,000 jobs would be lost if we voted no to the EU.
The reality has turned out to be quite the opposite. Since 1994, the Norwegian economy has developed and grown much more than the economies in EU member states. Norway has full sovereignty in the agricultural and fishery sectors, and the management of the Norwegian fisheries has been a great success. Obviously Norway is not the UK but it's interesting seeing these fearmongering tactics fall apart at the seams each and every time.

Tip for stealiing from grocery stores: you can legit just walk out of the store with anything under $25 and they won't bother to stop you, and in most stores their employees aren't even allowed to follow you out the door unless they're legit loss prevention guys. Bring a plastic bag and a receipt, and if anyone says anything as you leave, just flash the receipt and say you're in a hurry.
I mean, don't steal, but no minimum wage employee cares if you walk out with stuff to feed yourself.
Not sure how they do things in burgerland but that's just categorically untrue. I've worked in retail for 4 years now and I can tell you that security treats stealing a chocolate bar the same as stealing a TV.
My example is true for any major retail chain in America. Jesus, do your grocers also wear jackboots and brown shirts?
No, they just do their job by ensuring theft is prevented as much as possible?
Preventing theft to that degree actually results in more loss than it saves, hence the policy here.
Not sure what methods of theft prevention you have in mind but I was just generally thinking a security guard that monitors how people shop in the store. I can't imagine how that would be particularly exorbitant for a retail company.
A lot of stores sacked their greeters because they aren't effective at stopping theft to the level that would justify the salary.
I'm not arguing in favor of theft. I'm just relaying stuff I was taught during 6 years of grocery work.
I'm not saying you are. I just think that the argument of "you can get away with theft under $25 and they won't bother stopping you" is a bit tenuous. Obviously it's virtually impossible to curtail every incidence of theft, but I think it's a bit ridiculous to suggest that they let theft slide at a certain price threshold if caught. The security staff that I've known throughout my career would be fired johnny-on-the-spot if they did that.
