    And I always thought WW2 was all about militarists seeking to conquer all their neighbours. Thanks for enlightening me, you Fascist moron.

    Do you not believe in the action of moral law?

    No, I prefer ethics and scruples to completely arbitrary "because my badass sky-daddy says so" rules.

    Lots of countries allow resident non-citizens to vote. I know this because I happen to live in one of them.

    At least that's the case in Guangzhou--perhaps it has something to do with its proximity to HK.

    Certain hotels that mostly cater to Rather Important People also don't filter. The KingRand in Beijing being one such example, if you can afford it. (Normally would be way out of reach for me, but I knew somebody who knew somebody who arranged a steep discount and a Gold Member Card guaranteeing me the same discount in future. Alas, I don't normally go to Beijing except to pass through it on the way to/from Guangzhou.)

    So we should put the public dissemination of information concerning such events firmly and exclusively into the hands of an arbitrary group that's not actually accountable to anyone? Smart.

    What is the source of all of this anger on your part? And is it an "Oh, I'm so goddamn angry!" sort of rage, or a "I am a righteous sword of truth, you all suck and I'm great!" sort of rage?

    This is a genuine curiosity, as I don't quite understand how a person like you thinks.

    *nod* This seems to be the case with all the self-proclaimed "anti-Space Nutters". And yet, according to these folks, those of us who attempt to take a rational view of the issue are the "obsessives". Projection much?

    This bad decision != Every bad decision.

    But the Brexit campaign was nothing if not racist. I'd like to be able describe it as "thinly veiled" but it wasn't even *thinly* disguised as anything other than anti-immigrant/anti-foreigner. In other words--racist to the core, yes.

  24. You consider the Tories "progressive", do you?

  25. Butthurt is the only reason parent is modded down. Parent is spot on, as any EU resident who's not been in a coma for the last decade or two can tell you.

    Seriously. I like Britain and the British just fine (just spent a holiday there, in fact), but to the EU (including this EU national), the UK looks an awfully lot like that spoiled brat who quit the game because he got the rules bent "only" 90% in his favour.
