Politics around the world

[alanrotoi]

Yesterday

[CTG]

Third world: yes
Always neutral cowards: n/a
Big fishes and their asslickers (Hungary): no

(btw what was that?)

[BonzaiJoe]

Not a single European country voted in favour. But what would be the implications of if this was passed?

[alanrotoi]

It's on the screen: "...establishment of a multilateral legal framework for sovereign debt restructuring processes".

Those who has that "business" and their minions voted No. Those who say "I like to suck your dick everyday but that business may hurt me a lot" abstained. And those who say "I suck your dick everyday but that business IS killing me" voted Yes.

Only abstinence of France was a surprise for me.

PS: when I say "minions" or "dick suckers" I mean politicians and governments not the people. I make it clear just in case you don't understand my Tarzanenglish

[BonzaiJoe]

Well, yes, it's on the screen, but sadly I don't really know what a "sovereign debt restructuring process" is 

[Usrin]

Well, yes, it's on the screen, but sadly I don't really know what a "sovereign debt restructuring process" is 

I understand it this way: "states don't have to pay back the money they borrowed, if they don't want".

Do you really think that UN would ever make a votation about something that stupid?

[CTG]

Do you support the independence of Scotland?

(I guess they will stay in the UK.)

[BonzaiJoe]

It doesn't matter because they were never gonna vote yes, but just for the sake of the argument: at the end of the day I think I oppose it (although of course if it's what the people wants, they should have it). I don't like the idea of national sentiment making itself relevant in this day and age.
However, I can distinctly feel a hope for a yes, partly for romantic reasons, partly because it's what Belle & Sebastian want, and mainly because I hate David Cameron so much and I want him to crash and burn.

I'm just thinking on Scotch whisky...

[alanrotoi]

Scotland, Catalonia, Palestine, etc. should be independent states if they want.

Rotoi should be a single, independent pipsqueak instead of being 3 whole teams. (kidding)

[alanrotoi]

Remember I'm very good editing pictures

[Duplode]

Do you support the independence of Scotland?

A reason of dubious relevance to cheer the "No" is that the Union is a such a major historical oddity at this day and age, and I like historical oddities.

and mainly because I hate David Cameron so much and I want him to crash and burn.

Aye.

[alanrotoi]

Well not always continuing is the best way. Think about Renaissance or French Revolution. Also an union may not be a symbiosis relationship, sometimes one of them is a parasite sucking the blood of the other.
