Depends what culture we are talking about.Not all cultures are equal and there are some really twisted and backward cultures out there,take the head hunters for example or the cultures who practice human sacrifice,not to mention cultures who believe in killing anyone who disagrees with their religious beliefs.These cultures have no place in the 21st century or any other time for that matter.

in my view the problem with the E U project is that it's pushing the economic integration without the social cohesion needed with it.
Look at us, we all speak the same language have basically the same culture, but every time there's a mining boom WA starts arguing about what have the east ever done for us. NSW just recently, good budget, lets start complaining about all the GST we're going to lose to Tasmania and South Australia. Now consider the same arguments in Europe, Germany bailing out Greece. They don't even vaguely have the same culture or language. Then there is the freedom of movement that includes access to all the social welfare of a participating member nation. Of-course the lowest paid are going to move to the best welfare state. That is just common sense. That is why the E U project will never work in the long term without real change to it's governance and scope |

There is a reason it is getting a lot of airtime and coverage in the press. That reason is because the Establishment want to convince everyone that the world is ending because Britain is leaving. The EU propaganda arm is running over time trying to convince the world centralised control is best.
Watch the "Brexit" movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTMxfAkxfQ0 it explains how overreaching the EU and how much of a danger it is to national sovereignty.

UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage declared the result as "a victory for ordinary, decent people".
Brexit 'an adventure into the unknown' ![]() The full ramifications of the UK exiting the EU will be played out in years not days, writes the ABC's chief foreign correspondent Philip Williams. "It is a victory against the big merchant banks, against the big businesses and against big politics," he said. "And I'm proud of everybody that had the courage in the face of all the threats, everything they were told, they had the guts to stand up and do the right thing." Great start of the EU reno. Whole place needs to start taking notice of what it CITIZENS want, not what the banks and big buisiness wants. ........we all live in a community not an economy....... only labour party policy worth voting for is Banking Royal Commision. |

At the end of the day, "Democracy" is about self-determination. The EU has wasted far too much time and effort on enforcing irrelevant standards. Preventing people from growing tomatoes and vegies that weren't sanctioned, mandating meat levels in sausages, making the poor old folks use metric instead of pounds, etc, etc. Ultimately really trivial stuff that has ****** the Brits off no-end.
More recently the strong Pound has seen unemployed Europeans flooding into the UK looking for work, and they're sick of it.

I lived in London between 08 to 13, and I'm not surprised they voted out. In fact I'm surprised it was that close, would have expected something like 60-40. The OUT sentiment was there already at the time. And it is NOT all because of immigration.
The EU commission were bullying them with many policies that did not make any sense, and the Brits did not like an unelected commission dictating the terms. It would be like Australia signing up to an AsiaPac union, and having China and India dictating policies for us. |

(Germany began dismantling the multicultural policies a few years back (2010 approx), citing it as an abstract failure (Merkel), and that new comers will have to learn German and its culture and values before becoming citizens). Items since, such as the 76' Lima Agreement (done by Whitlam and signed by LIB's Peacock under Fraser) help enshrine all that 'reform and change', and in this example done to export western manufacturing jobs to 'the third world' - at the time places like China etc. Add to all this the multitudes of virtually unchecked 'treaties' and agreements - some well intended but that invariably diminish 'the way we once had things in this country' - indeed most western nation states. Younger Australians of course know of no such earlier life style, and that serves the ongoing agenda just fine. Apathy helps those seeking societal change done over time. You don't inherit freedom; to do so - you need to remain vigilant to all those who seek control over you; any and all politicians, AND the even career staff employees of all its agencies - that often self-serve each other. We teach much, but much of what we teach is meaningless, the promotion of mediocrity is all part of the outcome.

Putin is fuming! Not as a result of BREXIT or that Trump will be President, but because he just watched Rocky IV for the first time.

Nigel Farage is spot on with his sentiments of the EU. Donald Trumps' popularity serves to demonstrate the general population don't believe the narrative being dictated by mainstream media at the instruction of their pay masters. People are sick and tired of the career politicians and the political apparatchik. Let's hope Nexit and Swexit are next.

I don't know if I did the right thing but took the safe option. It may have cost me 30k in earnings but that's better than a 20k loss so I did what I did. It will come back but I am to close to retirement to take risks. It is frightening though. Steve Last edited by JG66ME; 26-06-2016 at 08:16 PM. |

6 represents one from perfection, now 3 times something is about confirming, so the best that we can get on the worldly position is represented as 666 it's the number of man, now 7 represents perfection and it's heavenly number. So 6 is just one short from 7, but it does not cut it, so it's of Satan the one who leads the whole world astray. So Satan comes across as a good bloke to worldly people who will idolise and follow in his deception, just like they did with the communist leaders and Hitler remember how they loved there leaders. Remember how the communist starved millions of people to death in Ukraine and does the majority of Aussies even know this, no ! |

I don't take drugs or support such degenerate rubbish at all, would you say that to me in person Russ, I don't think so ! do you think you truly would, think about that. I find your post very offensive, sorry but not to mention the fact of just disregarding things like the millions who were starved to death in the Ukraine as it's a historical fact. The last post you gave to me you claimed that to me as well, fact was it was a joke to gauge a reaction to see where people were coming from, who were in fact wrong in there childish assumption of who was truly who, rejecting a police officers true position, is madness, you do realise that don't you. |

Hopefully, for everyone's sake, the financial markets will come to grips with this and settle down. I really don't think this is big enough for worldwide markets to be melting down.
What it means for Britain, long-term, I'm not sure. If Scotland decides to have another vote, and votes for secession, that will weaken the UK economy. I don't know enough about the factors in play to predict one way or the other.

Yes, it will be interesting to see if there is a snowball effect , if you where a betting man you would have to put a crisp 20 on it that in the not too distant future the whole thing will unravel.
