| Ka-pi96 said: Why is it up to countries rather than people? I mean, countries aren't even capable of actually deciding anything. People can and do decide things though. You said Belgians (the people) get to decide if Belgium is a country or not, not that the country itself got to decide that. And your business examples fail completely. The first one simply isn't equivalent to a people seeking independence and their own country, it would be equivalent to an attempt to overthrow the leadership and become leader yourself, the country would stay the same and nobody would become independent though. The second one is entirely possible though. People in a company have every right to leave that and form their own independent company instead. Usually that would mean leaving everything of the former company behind, but if people owned buildings or patents that the original company used and wanted to make their own independent company then they can and would take those things with them. Catalan people do own their own land in Catalonia do they not? |
It is up to people... IN countries. Not regions or cities or buildings or houses. If something other than a country can decide for independence then I want to decide that my house can be an independent country because why can a region decide and not a family in a house they own?
And I told you my second example is a better one so forget my first business example.
And yes people in a company have the right to leave. TO LEAVE and not to take the company with them.
And nope Catalan people do not own the land (unless they bought it like I bought my house, I own my house but I CANNOT say it's independent of the country the house is in) And what about Spanish non Catalan people that bought land in Catalonia? By your logic they should be allowed to take their owned land OFF Catalonia but I'm sure Catalonia would not agree.
