(CNN)In the single most momentous day in British politics since WWII, the United Kingdom has voted to leave the European Union. The impact of this result has been far and wide, with global markets hit and UK Prime Minister David Cameron announcing his resignation.
European markets tumble, pound crashes to its lowest levels in 31 years.
Scotland is going to vote to stay with the UK or EU :P:PQuote:

Democracy, eh?
Ayy, and what about the youth? Most of them wanted to stay with the EU and now have to deal with all this..Quote:

Fun fact: If the UK wants to trade with the EU, they need to follow EU regulations (what people voted to leave for). If they want to obtain trading rights/licenses/whateverthehell, they need to pay for it, which means they are still paying the EU (what people voted to leave for). If they do that, their borders have to allow people to come in to work in the UK / leave to work in the EU (what people voted to leave for), only more complicated.
To get exactly what people wanted to leave for, they would have to have their own closed economy and market. Which I doubt is possible in the 21'st century...
I literally can't see any benefits of leaving the EU.
Great job >50% of UK voters. You're doing it.
This is really sad:

Why vote to destroy your children's future for your own pride ? You're gonna die in 10-something years anyway.
Maybe that's why. "Screw these dumb younglings and their ten thousands different genders and complains about being offended by everything. I'll not leave the country I built with my blood, sweat and tears to these wastes of life," or some such.Quote:

And I really doubt they've spilled their blood, sweat and tears for the country, not their own benefit.
Yes, but would you leave a legacy to someone you felt didn't deserve it?Quote:

This is such a thing that it's even been the them of movies - dying father states in his will that everything he owns wll be donated to charity, not a single dime going to his useless spawn.
That's a bit of a stretch though.
You, as a person, did nothing for the country but work and be civil.
You dying will not affect the economy and well-being (or anything really) of the country.
It's the higher-up's who decide the future of the country (and they've just been screwed), not you. I'm talking about economy, industry and influence. I don't give a damn if my country is seen by uneducated people as a bunch of gypsies in tents as long as it has a say of what goes in the world (which it doesn't but you get my point).
You said "Why vote to destroy your children's future for your own pride ? You're gonna die in 10-something years anyway."
I gave you a spiteful reason why. That's all.
Well... yes... an uneducated reason, but a reason nonetheless . ...
i have to agree, I dont understand why they let the older generation vote since this will have little to no consequence for them.
I would like to thank my fellow countrymen for ****ing up the generations to come over some ****ty patriotic pride.
Now we can hope that Trump gets into power in America so we at least have one friend and trade partner in the world.
Thatg is fuccking sad to say but its the only way our little Island won't sink into oblivion.
Why uneducated? I'd "destroy my children's future" if I felt they didn't deserve I left them anything.Quote:

Yeah, it's pretty obvious that Scotland will get independence from the UK then just rejoin the EU. They're mad if they don't.
