Is Brexit rooted in deep psychological white-guilt?

I think if you're under 24 you shouldn't be allowed to vote. The frontal lobe isn't fully developed and the ability to think logically and conceive abstract concepts is heavily impaired.

If you're over 40 you shouldn't be allowed to vote.

How about instead of trying to make age the important factor, maybe have people take tests to prove they are a competent human being that can think rationally before they go and vote on things?

Age wouldn't be an issue if the people who were voting just understood exactly what they are apart of and what they're voting about.

There are plenty of retarded 24 and 40 year olds out there that don't think before they act, don't act like setting an age restriction will keep retards out of your elections that don't fully understand the things they are voting on.

Not to mention the amount of backlash most countries would get for such a restriction.

Problem is who will make this test? Maybe this test is biased to help their people get power.

These tests seem like it'd be a pretty straight forward thing.

Like really, it seems like it'd be common fucking sense to just research shit that you're going to be voting on.

whether it's the Brexit, changes on gun laws, anything.

You should understand the consequences of choosing one side over the other, and the long term affects that could happen because of these changes.

I'd HOPE that something like this would be covered in high school, but being a recent high school grad myself, I never actually was taught any of this shit AT ALL, and to be honest i'm a bit disappointed.

How the hell are you supposed to bring a responsible person into the world, teach them how to be a decent member of society, and then not teach them what the fuck voting means and the risks that go along with voting?

It's not like it's a hard subject to tackle, just tell the fucking kids to look into the backrounds of shit that you're voting on.

For example, exactly what DOES leaving the EU mean for the UK, as well as the ripple affects it could have on every other country involved?

Look past the vote, think about what the vote can do, ponder it, and think about if you should vote in favor or not OF the vote.

How is that hard?

I will use example. Gun control is controversy in my country. One side is say that making it hard to get guns will stopping gun crime because less access to guns for citizen. Other side is says that gun control is just stopping law abide citizen from keep gun while criminal can just buy from black market, effective just make hard for citizen to defend from criminal. You say "You should understand the consequences of choosing one side over the other, and the long term affects that could happen because of these changes." But these effect are not agreed upon. Reason for split in politics is because the questions are hard. Nobody really is knowing what will happen in this future. The reason for disagree is because people have different idea from this experience in life what is best things to do.

These thing are not as cut and dry as you make it seem, I think.

Yeah I know. Is there a profession "bringer of foreign currency"? And, if being serious, I don't think it saddens "the entire world". The entire europe, that I can believe.

I'll just give you this Hasta since I cba to explain it to you

I don't understand why brexit is considered a borders/immigration issue. I know Britain isn't part of the Schengen free-movement area even through it is part of the EU, and there's other countries like Switzerland and Norway that are part of the Schengen area but NOT part of the EU. So what does brexit change specifically?

[MagicManICT]

Tbh, voters don't understand what they want

FTFY

Maybe the repercussions from this will resonate back to the US where the political tactics were taken from before November.

Scotland to leave the UK

Freeeeedom!!

I don't disagree, but someones in a certain country decided that if you're old enough to die for your country, you should be allowed to vote for its leadership. I also can't disagree with that.

It's more about EU putting restrictions on every member of that coalition. Can't wait till the day when bananas have to be straight and there will be a norm for speed of water flushing down the toilet. It's about having no influence on various stuff like law, which doesn't allow you to sentence criminals with any sense of justice (because racism, obviously) or discuss the amount of free refugees you'll receive.

Europe is playing in a sandbox like children in a fog. Whole union was an alright idea that would allow Europe to actually mean something on global level, because XXI is not the time for single and individual entities to become supreme. However, there's a thin line Germany and other ultra left wing countries have crossed (even if there was no need to do that).

Anyway, all these crybabies ranting about racism and all that shit, aren't really going to suffer from their skin colour as much as Lithuanians, Poles and other eastern Europe immigrants for their ancestry. I've already heard the newspapers in the UK aim at these minorities, but can't confirm it.

There's always a theory that Europe wants to develop the racist mindset amongst their people once again, hatred is something you'll add to your life easily when you see some random people coming from another place in the world, where they didn't mean anything, and your government treats them like kings - so these poor souls start to feel like all of their crimes will be justified by the mere fact of being a "poor and hurt immigrant".
