Non-EU citizens can only spend a total of 90 days over an 180-day period in the whole of the European Union.

      Speaking as a Brit myself, yes a lot of us are this dumb.

      I’ve seen more intelligence in low elo League of Legends lobbies than from (especially older) voters in this country.

      Like, there are people who legitimately think the influx of Muslim and African immigration in our country is the EU’s fault.

      British are extremely delusional. The island has been skating by on imperial history for decades and everything is finally flipping on them lol

        This is also my take. A huge proportion of the population seems to be resting on the laurels earned by their parents and grandparents, assuming that things would never change.

          If by laurels you mean pillaging the developing world then yeah.

            I’m speaking specifically to have installed all the freeways and the dams and other stuff then letting them rot. I’m speaking to creating a great middle class then letting it rot.

      The developed world is full of narcissist who really do think that they are better than a sizable portion of the world’s population just because they happened to be born in their country. It’s like that idiot you had to go to school with who thought he was the best thing ever just because his father was a successful car salesman. None of these people did anything to earn or deserve what they have, but feel that they are entitled to it.

        I’m afraid that the term “retarded” is a technical diagnosis available within the DSM. Though society may have abused the word, it is a legitimate term.

            I can tell you from experience that this is not an argument you can win. People will apparently rally behind their right to be mean. I’ve taken it on and been savaged for my efforts.

      Slur not justified. So many better ways to convey what you mean.

      What’s next? “Pardon my slur, but what a bunch of n***ers”?
