| fatslob-:O said: It sounds like you should take your own recommendation since other's showed your error in the subsequent posts ... A union does not guarantee peace and the league of nations was one such passive union that failed to prevent WWII but there are countless other examples such as the Soviet Union or the Federal Republic of Central America which devloved into internal conflict ... There's nothing stopping EU from devolving into internal conflict when it has to deal with the volatity of soveriegn nations who could declare war on any EU member states at any second ... |
If by errors you mean having taken my words out of context, then sure, whatever pal. Other than that there are no errors there. I'd say most people discussing in this thread understand it but not everyone, it seems...
As for guaranteeing peace, NOTHING could ever guarantee peace as war and peace are a CHOICE people do. I'm only saying a peaceful union EU style has brought peace for the past 60 years and that is a fact and if you want to go on a new round of arguing with facts, I'm out cause all has been said about it and if you still don't get it or don't want to get it, further argument of said facts won't change anything.
As for examples of unions you are quoting stuff like the Soviet Union? Just like whoever tried to compare the Roman empire's union with the EU, comparing the Soviet union which AGAIN is a forced up, dictatorial union, with the EU is ludicrous and if after everything that has been discussed in this thread you or anyone else STILL come up with such examples, it means you still don't get it. So how me repeating it all again will change that?
And that last part of your comment, wow man you are quite something. So what can I say: Go ahead and choose division which has proven in the past to have brought instability and war, instead of this EU that has since inception brought stability and peace and break up the EU because, and I quote "Sovereign nations could declare war on any EU member states ANY SECOND"
Now if you'll excuse me I need to go hide myself in a bunker cause Germany could attack Belgium ANY SECOND or France, or Italy or any other EU country and I cannot blame them attacking cause the UNION of European countries is something that OBVIOUSLY is a good reason for those countries to attack mine. Oh God, if only we would have had the wisdom to keep countries divided 60 years ago... 
So here is a message to everyone: If you guys have a new angle or new ideas to bring to this debate I'll be happy to continue discussing but I'll just not respond to further comments like this one cause, what's the point to repeat what has already been said, right?
