EU - For or against?

3) But we don't need to worry about any invading European army......we have lots of nukes and a far superior army (see WW1 & WW2)

4) Why should you pay people more than they are worth? if they wanted better pay then they should have either taken advantage of the education system or worked harder.

5) Thatcher did what was needed by removing all the drains on the public purse and enabled the country to move into the 21st century without baggage, the only thing that I hold against her is the signing of the Maastricht treaty which paved the way for us being sold out to the EU.

I do still miss those "Dr Who" telephone boxes which were replaced by the modern telephone kiosks(American style), these kiosks are ugly and I detest them but disliking the American style doesn't mean that I dislike American way of life,they are our staunchest allies since the "Boston Tea party".
Now our Passports look more like European Passport, prints on our money look similar to the prints of Euro. These things may look very trivial but I would like the "Britishness" to be kept simple and original, we must go forward without loosing our identity and individuality.
Our politicians are dragging us kicking and screaming in to this EU without our consent and it's bad for the democracy.

---not to be cheeky, but our own Forum-Rules #3 clearly states that: "No discussion of politics or religion - this is a technical forum and not the place for it!"---(written by the very same boss-dude who posted this question)--- ---LOL---

---I was born in Europe---(our past elders have passed on stories of old-time 'unified' countries, that was the makings of Communism; which did nothing for the everyday poor laborers for a better lifestyle, but the politicians and army still benefited financially through arms-trade+sale and underhanded corruptions, etc.)---I also read tons of books---/as the saying goes, "money talks" - "it's not what you know, but who you know"/---

---I rather wish every country to have its own independence, pride, distinctions, culture, language, etc---

---BUT---the whole planet functions better IF we all have a 'common' language (like English) since we all use internet now - and have a 'common' money currency (like euro + dollar) that we can all understand equally - ALONG with individual countries' own styles---

peace
