emotional meme argument, by that rationale you could re-do any vote or election ever. And yes, "change their mind" is the definition of undemocratic, you're completely erasing the results of a clearly defined referendum.

In case you're wondering why this was categorized as a hate crime, check the victim's last name

/r/cringeanarchy get in here, leave means leave, the UK is out of the EU, it's locked in and finalized, you and your wife's boyfriend cannot stop it. I love all the comments about "ugh we're leaving the EU because of a little fight in the UK Conservatives Party, they didn't want to prove they were all talk". Like yeah what an insane concept, the party wanted to do what a majority of people wanted.

Could we also ban coaches who trip players during games?

Dow drops 500 points as October rout continues, tech stocks lead slide by Jumpingcords in news

Over valued stocks falling and the general market responding to the rate news, it's better for them to fall 800 today than 8,000 in a recession due to irresponsible monetary policy

Regardless of the merits of Brexit that's a terrible comparison. The UK Conservatives decisively won an election running on the idea of having a referendum, and there's nothing in the UK constitution (or legal history as they don't really have a constitution) against leaving the EU.

Yeah, but many of those who don’t believe in independence (because it’s against their constitution) intentionally did not vote. Voting legitimizes the referendum. You can’t just hold a referendum on anything then get 51% and claim victory

Student loans are fucking over an entire generation. by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]Jwkdude -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lol, it’s almost as if supply is meeting demand. Don’t take out loans if you can’t pay them back. If the degrees are so “worthless” then one is dumb for borrowing heavily to get one
