SamuraiTogo Says:
Oct 6, 2008 - No, Japan's democracy is not the copy of Europe. In Edo era, Japanese society was advanced more than European society. Physics,Mathematics,Electricity,Geography,Art,Musical,Comedy Fashion,Court(law),banking system・・・ and so on were highly developed more than Europe. That's the real. That's why Only Japan in Asia can win European nations in all fields. European people is misunderstanding Japan's history.

Oct 11, 2008 - The EU was never meant to be democratic. The EU is an attempt by political elite to establish a new aristocracy (themselves) and effectively eliminate parliamentary democracy. Power is mostly in the hands of the unelected crowd.

Oct 17, 2008 - EU is the autoritarian eurocratic and extremelly corrupted undemocratic cancer ! EU is the hungry imperial empire hidden under the pretex of "democrasy" and "EU parliament" - just like the Roman empire was hidden under the Republic senat ! EU is the tool in the hands of European aristocracy !

Oct 18, 2008 - I have nothing against the European Union, if it was only democratic.
WeAreTheBrits Says:
Oct 19, 2008 - the UK doesn't need the stinking carcass of the eu and once we have destroyed nu labour at the next election we will have our referendum we will vote NO to the eu the British people want to leave the eu and they will get their way - politicians are not there to be obeyed (despite what little schoolboys think) - they are there to represent the wishes of the majority
SamuraiTogo Says:
Oct 23, 2008 - To Eusuperstate, Thank you for agreeing with me. Richard Nikolaus Eijiro(æ „æ¬¡éƒŽ) is Founder of (International Paneuropean Union) He is called Father of EU. He was born in Tokyo Japan. He introduced sun design of Japan*s Flag to the flag of (International Paneuropean Union). â‘ Flag of Japan → â‘¡Flag of International Paneuropean Union → â‘¢Flag of EU Those are very similar. Please search by google each article of①―③. Muchas gracias

Nov 15, 2008 - rather than having a european war, the EU will attack non-compliant nations like russia and china to their ways creating new factions just like the allies and the axis.
DaNo07HK Says:
Nov 20, 2008 - People on here seem to blindly follow the EU. Are you all mentally ill or just asleep? The EU is on its way to becoming TOTALITARIAN! Britain, I can assure you, will be removing itself from the EU in the next few years. I hope other nations of Europe follow suit.

Nov 25, 2008 - You can assure people in that when there is next to no chance? Where have you heard this ridiculous statement?
mrgeorgeallison Says:
Nov 25, 2008 - We have more benefits in the EU than out... also... the majority want EU membership.

Nov 29, 2008 - Sovijet also start as a beautiful project... What do we do the day EU gets Stalin Like leaders with many high political friends? EU will never let the country's get out of it, we are jailed in the Europe Union! BREAK FREE!
Lordworcester Says:
Dec 2, 2008 - People who think that the UK can just leave the EU are quite naive... no party in power would ever support such a policy (history speaks for itself). Like it or not today around 75% of all member state legislation is made in Brussels. I suggest you all atart taking European elections seriously and make sure you are registered to vote... If you don't like the way the EU works, you might find that you'll have more success changing the way it operates by engaging directly with it...
Lordworcester Says:
Dec 2, 2008 - oh and can the EU please do something constructive with their 'rapid reaction force' (it does sound nice on paper - but doea it exist?) and deliver aid to Zimbabwe for example? Maybe install a democratic regime whilst you're at it... Who do i vote for to ensure this would happen? EPP? van Orden for example? or do i have to emigrate to the czech rep and vote there? Don't get me wrong... I think the idea of an EU is the best thing since grated gruyere - I just want more say!
Edward1589 Says:
Dec 3, 2008 - And are you suggesting that nationalism should prevail? Riddle me this: how are we going to progress further if we don't share our ideas & cultural history/experience? Would you like 3rd WW in Europe today? One thing the EU is doing is being secular, which is the most important thing since the freethinkers were born back in the mid-XVII century. EU could be a 3rd Roman Empire, or Republic if you wish, instead of being 30 nationalistic states that believe in mumbo-jumbo.

Oct 3, 2008 - What an incredible misrepresentation in this video - nothing more than a pack of lies drawn up for propaganda basis. The Coal & Steel scam was just a Cartel. John Monnet was fundamentally a communist. Conveniently the FACT that the voters are not allowed democracy & whenever they can vote they vote AGAINST the EU & are ignored. The entire concept has been a disaster for mankind. The damage done to Africa is staggering. The EU WILL cause war!
