🔮 :brexit: Post-Brexit prediction thread

[Barry-Sanchez]

Also Iceland is fucking gun crazy and thats number one ha ha!

[Barry-Sanchez]

So it was bollocks then?

I’ll take that.

Swiss citizens DO NOT HAVE TO OWN firearms if they don’t want to.

I hope that clears any confusion up.

[scotty]

Fucksake, you could start a fight in an empty room. It’s a simple point, all I’m saying is that the Swiss level of gun ownership doesn’t make them a nation of rambos, ffs.

[Barry-Sanchez]

@scotty

To be fair, the Swiss gun ownership thing is a complete red herring. They have to own guns, by law, as they don’t have a regular army.

This?

[scotty]

That’s what I recalled, it turns out incorrectly.

I’ve now checked, and while firearm training is compulsory, gun ownership is not.

Clear?

FFS.

[Barry-Sanchez]

Yes, apology accepted.

[scotty]

Thank you.

Now, will you accept that there’s a world of difference between the gun ownership figures in a country where firearm training is compulsory for active males, and their subsequent ownership of a gun is state-approved in the interest of national security, and the figures of another country where such training is only offered within the military and private gun ownership is, by and large, illegal?

[Barry-Sanchez]

I haven’t agreed or disagreed with any of what you wrote, Switzerland is a batshit nationalistic gun loving place and them being on the list as tolerant is fucking laughable.

[scotty]

Nationalistic??

Are we talking about the same Switzerland?

I’m not suggesting they’re tolerant, though. I suppose to find out whether or not they are, they’d first have to let a few darkies in.

[Barry-Sanchez]

The Swiss are very very nationalistic,

[Saint-or-sinner]

Headline says “Right-wing Swiss party demands quotas on migration from EU”.

Sounds familiar
On that basis England has the largest population percentage in all Western Europe of right-wingers, according to those that bang on about respecting democracy whilst doing the opposite.

So, the Swiss, a bit nationalistic, but much less than the English. Headline news Barry

I don’t know how to tell you this, but your thread has been bazzed. It happens to many threads; yours isn’t the first and I’m sure it won’t be the last. It may recover, but I feel duty bound to inform you that the prognosis is bleak. Bazzing very often proves fatal to a thread.

[CB-Saint]

I think the correct term is “Vabazzled”

[Barry-Sanchez]

Swiss Peoples Party? Far more right wing than anything we have to offer.

Try again.

[Barry-Sanchez]

I’ll add I haven’t said anything incorrect here, the UK is a tolerant nation compared to most and many, our religious tolerance however of some of our British citizens towards others is some of the worst in the World and it needs addressing.

YOu need to brush up on your cultural and religious evolution Bazza. There are plenty of Christian fundamentalists in Trumpsland and elsewhere… and 2000 years in there are still a load of unenlightened… so you expect all of the Islamic faith to have caught up, with 400 years less time and in countries with a slower pace of industrial revolution?

Dont be giving it the the old ‘all religions are bad’ bollocks because you do like to disproportionally focus on one in particular…

Where have I said there isn’t? Mere deflection and whataboutery.

@Map-Of-Tasmania

Surely being an economic migrant would mean you have to accept some of the host Countries attitudes towards women, gays and human rights?

Am I missing something?

@Map-Of-Tasmania

Yes we have backward, racists, homophobic areholes already here, do we need more?

What are you saying, you want an arsehole Island?

I’d say thats a highly patronising and insulting thing to say about people but I guess you haven’t figured that out, making excuses for a lack of tolerance is worrying.

One of my former employers had a site in the Philippines.

Going there was not a jolly. You did not have free reign to go anywhere.

What you’d do is meet armed bodyguards at the airport, who’d then escort you to the facility, where you would stay in a compound.

The reason? Bandits that would rob and kill you in certain places. This is also the country where the President has decreed on the spot execution for drug dealers okay.

Is the Guardian sure about this list?

[scotty]

Yes, I’d more or less worked that one out. All we need now is for fatso to rock up with his prediction of +10 GDP and Long to score the winner.
