What has living in a warzone got to do with anything? I also don't want to get Ebola but I hardly see that as relevant!
Humans all want the same essential things. Food, water, safety, roof over their head, fun time, safe environment for their children. We all get corrupted by power and money, all have the same desires for success, sex, food.

Extremist views such as myself? Give me an example please.
Or are you just talking crap again?

It has everything to do with it. Depending where you are from you have a hugely different culture. You will generally be happier around those who have had a similar upbringing and who share similar values.
Whilst humans may want the same things, how they go about getting them is massively different.
Well the EU is largely governed by our elected heads of state, and our elected MEPs
Do you think the EU is more corrupt, or has more potential for corruption, than our own, much-loved* UK government?
(*This part is a joke).
Culture is a very weak concept that's easily adjusted to.
Which are not the same as culture. As Isa id, most people do have the same values. Are you really any different to a French, German, or American?
No it isn't. The fact that places like Syria are at war has nothing to do with culture.
Your intolerance and fear of foreigners and your strong opinion on cultural differences is exactly why places like Syria are in the state they are.
Everything you may hate about Syria and Sudan exist entirely because of people like you who want to close border, build ideological walls, make barriers to integration and generally make Britian a worse place.

Massively so, the culture in the European Parliament is one of turn up, sign in, sod off then collect your allowances. It puts our own parliaments expenses scandal to shame, but at least our politicians are held to account through the media and directly elected by their constituencies. No one gives a damn about the European Parliament and it's almost impossible to get rid of an MEP at the top of his party's list.

And markets have only one equilibrium point that just happens to minimise in poverty, remaining fixed for all time in this sorry condition if you allow free movement to meet demand and support services/products in a well-defined economic zone? Your doomsday analysis is so bad, it's not even wrong!
Global capitalism and its effects apply across borders, whether one likes it or not, and larger blocks of states are better at addressing this reality than any single state on its own.

Yea look at the mess it's in.. Freedom, free education, cheap/free health care, an extensive welfare system, most people living like kings compared to 80% of the rest of the world, high happiness index, everything in the UK is better than it has been in history, ever.
The UK is not full of foreigners, it actually has an incredibly low level of immigration.
It is also not a mess, it is one of the richest and most developed countries in the world, and immigration is making it richer.
the UK like every country has issues, but you are much better looking at the UK government who spends your taxes than the Eu which helps boost the UK GDP. Don't think the schools are sufficiently funded, worried about the NHS, streets in need of repair, high unemployment, rising house prices concern you. That is all in the realms of the UK government to deal with, the Eu doesn't influenced those issues at all.
And lastly, leaving the EU is not like trying out a different pub on a Friday night. There are huge consequences to leaving, and if we did want back in we will find ourselves in an incredibly weak position.
Moreover, if you leave you don't even know what state Britain would actually move t and what rules the UK manage to negotiate. Your xenophobic dream of closing the UK borders may never happen, just look at European countries that share the European common market like Norway, they have to accept freedom of movement and have no vote on the matter.
Britain can already close it s doors to non-EU immigration, but it doesn't, so why do you think leaving the EU will make things any different in the slightest?

Why do you keep mentioning war? I just mentioned countries that have completely different cultures to ours that also happen to be complete crap holes. You still haven't answered my question though, would you be happy in any of those countries?

Excuse me? How do I have an intolerance and fear of foreigners?
It's my fault that countries thousands of miles away are at war? Who says I hate anything about Syria or Sudan?
Lol.
You're a loon!

If we voted out and the tories rigged a rerun or something to ensure we stayed in, wouldn't that completely destroy any credibility the government has or ever will have?
They surely couldn't do something like that in a country that has always been a beacon of democracy.

How many of your average brits do you think follow the stock market?
They don't need to, the media bandwagon will intimidate the masses into voting in.
