Vatican proposes EU as example of Social Doctrine

[Kaninchen]

The European Union is viewed by some

People believe all sorts of nonsense, that’s just the way of things.

Its own Alternative Comedy variant.

You have no counter-argument, then?

Against absurdity, it’s not required.

 

[ontheway1]

Name calling is hardly an argument. Clearly you have nothing to add to the discussion.

I admit, I have no talent for the surreal.

Clearly, you have no argument, but can’t admit it, so you keep using surreal substitutes for an reasoned argument.

I do admit that I can’t take these sorts of EU-hating arguments seriously.

You mean, a point of view other then yours. So, it is bizarre not to believe what you do? This argument may be the best illustration of the mentality of the EU. Everyone has to believe, or else. Brings to mind what I said moments ago, about 'at gun point"

Why not tell us what the EU has done to you, personally, that you’ve acquired your particular perspective?

Problem is, ontheway, that what you say is not only contrary to reality, it doesn’t actually seem to touch reality at any point, and it is therefore extremely difficult to get hold of any of it for the purpose of discussion. It is just devoid of addressable content.

This one made me laugh out loud to myself. Try to read my posts. I mean actually read them. If you can’t understand, then I can’t really help. What I have said is plain and clear. And all I get in response is name calling. This is classic.

Thank goodness plucky Nigel put paid to their dastardly game.
“Ach, accurseder Englander!”
“Take that, Fritz!”

Oh, I can understand them, the prose is quite clear. The contact with reality is what is missing.

Oops. Forgot to mention one thing. Some knowledge of history is required.

 

[PickyPicky]

Some knowledge of history is required.

Very true. History is my subject.

 

[Kaninchen]

This one made me laugh out loud to myself.

I expect everybody’s glad you’re laughing along as well.

Meanwhile, how about something concrete as a criticism and how it’s made your life worse?

 

[ontheway1]

Just give it a little time.

This article seems to present some sensible approaches to consider regarding the European Union.

Because the terms are ridiculous. “We will agree to let you leave if you agree to let us tell you when you can leave for real without any (name removed by moderator)ut in the future. Or we can also change all our rules right now so you don’t leave at all. How about you vote on it again”. Real swell.
