Just one article talking about it.

I'm sure all of you are well aware of the Biblical prophecy nuts who think the EU is going to take over the whole world...and the anti-christ will arise from it.

Personally I believe its a load of crap....the Biblical stuff....but what about this superstate talk?

I hadn't heard of that before, but the article is from 2000, when we were still laughing at the Euro.

Keep laughing.

And I'll keep laughing at the miserable idiots who think the 'end times' are here because they 'researched' the Bible.

Right.

I for one welcome my new Belgian Overlords.

I hadn't heard of that before, but the article is from 2000, when we were still laughing at the Euro.

In Dublin on the day of the change over, a mate of mind rang for a taxi to take him to the airport. Taxi arrives, and my mate gets in and looks at the meter, and sees that already he's been charged 9 euro (call out fee the day before was general one £1.80) and he looks at the driver and says "Look I know I'm still getting my head around this, but I'm pretty sure it's not a 8 to 1 exchange rate, this is Dubling not effing Italy", taxi driver turns to him and says "Oh don't you effing start"

... We stopped laughing at the Euro?

Why didn't anyone tell me?

The reason I laugh at Euro, is when I'm coming back from Ireland to the Uk, and realise I can buy a cup of coffee, from Westmeath, to Berlin with the exact same notes, but I need to go to foreign exchange if I want to get a loaf of bread in my local shop in london.

Just a point from even glancing at that 'report' (speech marks because it's a 'report' from the Daily Express) there has never been any requirement in the UK for there to be a referendum before we ratified the new treaty.

I have to admit I do wish someone had been a little bit more canny and never used the word "constitution" for that abomination in the first place, Merkel's suggestion is really only calling it what it should have been called in the first place e.g. an "amending treaty”.

ETA: I do support an overhaul of the many treaties that have arisen over the years and doing that in one uber-treaty may be the most effective way. (Then we can immediately start adding amending treaties to that for another 20 years or so and then repeat the whole process.)

Yes and the bilderberg group has an influence on the E.U. too.
Melinda Gates has been brainwashed by the Annunaki Nephilim Reptillian overlords from Zeta Reticuli and Sirius.

The End times. It's a such a nice subject to laugh at.
The anti-christ arising from the European Union...please.
In the bible itself it says that the prophecies in it will come true when its writers are still alive. Perhaps the writers had a problem with the europeans back then. Perhaps that's why it says that the anti-christ will be male and european.
All these prophecies either come from the bible, or Nostradamus' works or mayan calendars distorted by New Age gurus.
All of them of highly questionable authority.

Every generation has had its wackos that make their thoughts public in a mass scale and scare the hell out of the ignorant population.

An EU based anti christ would require thirteen thousands forms, all translated into Irish, and Flemish before he could arise. And he would command that the seas boil, skies turn red, a cap on French butter production, and that the UK bring it's corporation tax in line with the rest of the EU.

And how many nations are now EU members? I'm quite sure the number is well over ten...

I can't think of one damn good thing that has come out of the world being divided into lots of seperate ethnic states. war after war after war has been the most occuring theme. maybe if we all were united into a large confederacy of semi-independant states...like the EU..we would all put our selfish needs aside and act like brethren?

call me a commy....i know.

In Gaeigle its "Ta Gaelige Eireann agamsa" Myself and my wife have enjoyed our language, clearing out our front garage (previous owners filled with gravel) the kids on our street just developed a fun game of fling handfuls of gravel at each other" making us, oh so popular with our car owning neighbours. As the kids teenage brothers stood outside trying to intimidate my wife, when I came out, she'd pass on what happened, as Gaeilge, made it okay for us other the implied threats to speak to each other without them knowing what we said.

27Thanks. That's even larger than I thought - I figured it was 15-20. I'm afraid I don't keep up with European developments as much as I probably should.

Federalism is one of the stated aims of many within the EU project.

Valery Giscard D'estaing (author of the proposed - and rejected, EU constitution), even proposed renaming the EU the United States of Europe in one of his drafts for the constitution...

The maastricht treaty proposed ever closer union.
http://europa.eu/eur-lex/en/treaties/dat/EU_consol.pdf

What I don't like about the EU is the excessive bureaucracy, the wasted billions spent on it, the common agriculture policy, the common fisheries policy, and the inevitable corruption. Personally I'd be happy to get out of it for those reasons.

Aye, they take over on Blue Monday. Their HQ for world domination will be Band On the Wall, Manchster. Or possibly the former Hassienda, in the heart of what now appears to be a fetching block of flats.
