The Difference Between Being European And Being A Member Of The Eu?
49 Answers
I'm constantly amazed by the conflation of the idea of being in the EU and being European. Pro-EU people persistently and deliberately perpetuate the lie that being European equates to being in the EU. I've seen countless celebrities on TV and people in my everyday life make this monumentally idiotic mistake and perpetuate this falsehood. They think that by exiting the EU, the UK is somehow leaving Europe – the very continent that it is tectonically tied to. The mind boggles at these imbeciles. Thankfully, there are like-minded people out there in the world who are great at exposing this pernicious myth and enunciating far more eloquently than I ever could:

No democratic decision is ever irreversible, and every democratic decision can be revisited and, if necessary, reversed. That fact doesn't undermine democracy, it strengthens it.
But then, if you wanted a debate, you wouldn't have been so rude and dismissive as you have been in your original post.

If you are alluding to my use of the word, “idiotic” then I stand by my use of said word. If you cannot tell the difference between the EU and Europe then you are, in my estimation, an idiot.
If that 'offends' you or anyone else then quite frankly I could not care less. Nothing happens to you when you're offended. You're an adult. Deal with it.

It's not a matter of offence or not, it's a matter of decorum and maturity -- and, for that matter, of Site Rules, which rather clearly differentiate between "lively debate", on the one hand, and "name calling" on the other. If you can't tell the difference then that's a problem for you to address, rather than for everybody else to deal with.
