Current Affairs EU In or Out

Tell me how sending money to the EU, and getting less in return is a selfish attitude.

I would love to see your in-depth reasoning as to your definition of 'selfish'...

Depends on what you deem as "less".

Now, if you can predict the future like that, look into that crystal ball again (or whatever you use) and send me by PM the winning lottery numbers for this week-end. If you can't do that, then the bold point above has no credence whatsoever. It is pure conjecture on your part...

What a silly post. Of course it is a guess.

Being selfish means only looking after your interests and being inconsiderate to the needs of others. I can't believe I've had to explain that to you.

Ergo YOURS is the silly post...

I know that. You still haven't answered my question. In case you miss the point again, this: "...Tell me how sending money to the EU, and getting less in return is a selfish attitude..."

No it was an opinion about what might happen in the future, therefore not silly even if you disagree with it.

I send you 10 snotters; you give me five back. Now when I was at school, five is/was less than 10...

Ah, you say it was an opinion now. But in your original post, it was NOT stated to be an opinion. So if it is not stated as an opinion, it is stated as fact. Go back and read your own post...

Never said it was, so don't go making things up.

I said that to only look at the EU in the context of making a profit was selfish.

Pedantic nit-picking at its worst.

No, you make a statement, and when challenged about it, can't back it up. And so you resort to calling it 'pedantic' and 'nit-picking'. My sincere apologies for catching you out... (Pun intended)

Your post #24980, previous page. "...What a terribly selfish attitude to have..." I'm not making anything up - I'm actually quoting you back.

OMG! I left out the letters 'IMO' in my post so you've "caught me out."

What a superb piece of detective work. Wow, this must have really made your day. Many congratulations to you sir.

To repeat - I said that to only look at the EU in the context of making a profit was selfish.

You're reallly working hard today to catch people out aren't you.
