38 Unbelievable Cases Of People Being Stupid Together

Every person alive has ancestors who did something reprehensible.

That’s not an excuse.

Yeah, we all understand that they were once religions. In fact they still are religions. Just nobody follows them anymore. That was the point of mine you didn't understand.

US is not a serious country to be taken into consideration. Its stupid political system has no relation with Democracy

(Conservative? Yes: "if it ain't broke, don't fix it. If you change something and it doesn't work, go back to what did work before." - surely that's the very definition of "conservative"? I'd rather roll things back to the days when the rich got taxed and the poor got housed - we had that here in the UK, back in the 1960s and 70s.)

I spent my first decade in the seventies when this part of Europe was fairly leftist. The ladies [edit: everyone] were topless in the parks and body hair was everywhere. It was good. I want it back.

B.S. of a dump@ss.

Traci Cobler: back in 1975, the UK had a referendum on whether or not to stay in the European Communites. The vote was about 2:1 in favour of "remain". 41 years later, the spineless Conservative PM David Cameron decided to deal with his party's minority of "the EU is stealing our freedom" MPs by having a *second* referendum on the subject - ignoring the first vote. The "leave" faction lied and won the vote by a tiny majority, don't ask me why. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_United_Kingdom_European_Communities_membership_referendum and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_United_Kingdom_European_Union_membership_referendum

Traci Cobler PS: don't worry about sounding like an "uninformed American" when it comes to Brexit. It's about the EU and internal UK politics. Most people inside the European Union don't understand the EU. Most people inside the UK have no clue what's going on anywhere anyway. The whole Brexit thing was a bizarre consequence of us having a spineless Conservative PM without a fscking clue, and a ruling Conservative Party with a few ignorant malcontents who kept whining on about the EU having stolen our sovereignty. I was here, and I was paying attention, and I *still* don't get it... Your best bet is probably to wait another 30 years and read a good history book on the subject. 😬

Heh. Downvoted - yeah, another one of those snowflake Brexiteers who hates the truth being told. You lot voted for this shítshow - *YOU* are to blame for the rotten state of Britain right now. But we'd've been spared this mess if Cameron had had the backbone to tell the loony wing of the Tory Party to just stick it. But no, he wanted to appease them with a second Brexit referendum. I mean, we'd already had the Brexit referendum in 1975. The vote was 2:1 in favour of remain. Cameron decided to ignore that vote. Oh yeah, and do you remember Cameron promising to stay on as PM no matter which way the second Brexit referendum went? But he resigned as soon as practical - like I say, spineless.

Traci Cobler PPS: Sigh. Look, the thing was, the Leave campaign was better than the Remain campaign. The Remainers took it for granted that they'd win. The Leavers? They used every dirty trick going - pulling on all the petty little nationalist strings and distrust for foreigners and - oh, it makes me sick to think of it. And the bástards won and now we're all suffering because of them. And what's worse is that I wouldn't actually smack Dave or Boris in the face if I had the chance - they both deserve it, but that would be Just Wrong. 🤷

Apatheist Account2: the vaccine roll out had nothing to do with Brexit. That's just a lie. Brexit has brought nothing but harm. Anyone with any brain could see that was going to be the case. The entire "leave" campaign was lies and hatemongering. Thing is, if you put David Cameron and Boris Johnson in front of me, I'd probably throw up - but wouldn't be able to figure out which one I should throw up *on*.

Apatheist Account2: when the UK got the Covid vaccine, we were still bound by EU rules. The boss of the UK MHRA said: ""we have been able to authorise the supply of this vaccine using provisions under European law, which exist until 1 January"." Tories who said we got it quick because of Brexit were just plain lying - Matt Hancock and the unspeakable Jacob Rees-Mogg most especially. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/55163730. You remember Matt Hancock, and the way he was so careful to follow social distancing rules at work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh8KscD256c

You bring a fair point, but yelling at people you have to work with is a rough way to keep a job. I don't go to churches with loud bigoted "Christians". I go to a church full of people like me, and OP up there. I do work with them, though.
