I have no fundamental objections to the EU in general, but it should operate more like the United Nations than what it is now (which is basically one big European government).

I, like most lower class Brits, know that Britain leaving the EU is ridiculous, we would be nothing but a small floating island with no friends. We DO NOT have the resources like America, Russia etc to be an independent nation, we are a tiny island.The idea that nobody would trade with us if we were out of the EU is quite frankly ridiculous.
I did not say we wouldn't have anybody to trade with us but I'm not willing to engage in another one of your 'lets twist what he said debates' ... very interesting that you set up a website to debate with people yet you brand anyone who opposes your opinions as ridiculous.
P.S I have no issue with your belief we should leave the EU, it is a matter of personal view, mine is that we are better off in it.

"some people". Imagine someone entering a room with a few obece people in it and screaming "Some people are ugly fat basterds" to then defend himself by stating: No I didn`t mean you personaly.
With this "some people" and your redicilous summery of "some peoples" opinion (which also happened to represent mine) in which you reworded it to be represented in as negative a light as possible, I felt that I had to respond, because it was simply disingenius.
True, it is sometimes easier to simply write beneat because one is also to lazy to press the reply button.
I will quote in future.
Don't worry, re-wording what people have said and stating they have expressed themselves in the wrong way seems to be becoming an increasing debating technique of his. I'm getting used to it now
It seems he will stoop to major levels to 'win' a debate .... I personally believe that is debating for the wrong reasons, debating is about having discussions with others whose opinions oppose your own to learn more on the subject.
