No. I think that a young woman should engage her parent(s) if she feels safe doing so, but if she does not, I believe there should be a process for her to engage a guardian ad litem to advocate for and represent on her behalf. I truly hope that my daughter would know that she is safe coming to...

I respect your fear and concern as valid to you, but I also grew up in the 1990s and I don't personally recall them being carefree at all. Between the Murrah Federal Building being attacked by domestic terrorists, a group of extremists in Waco creating a standoff that ended in a conflagration...

I think this is a good point. I made a transition last year from a career in business to the academic world as an assistant professor and while I only have one year of personal experience and four of my five courses were more introductory level, I would have been pretty frustrated trying to...

It's a really great way to watch a movie. The seats are assigned and are very comfortable (akin in size and comfort to domestic first class airline seats), the tickets are the same price as at the traditional movie theater, and while the food isn't world class it's above-average quality for a...

We go to one of those theaters where they serve meals, so the lights are fully on until the previews begin and the admonition to turn off one's phone is broadcast. So alas, my posting abilities are not as grand as for what you gave me credit. (And I'm in the USA.)

:teacher::wave2: I am impressed that you have been able to utilize both tautologies and circular reasoning in the same post. If you'd like me to diagram it for you, I'd be happy to do so, but I suspect you're not interested so I'll save the effort for now...Please just let me know, although...

But the best outcome for whom? Because the best possible outcome looks very different to the two sides of the equation. This is a chance for Germany, France, and even Italy to pick up all sorts of European headquarters of global companies that benefit from being within the EU, for example, so...

I agree that is very telling, but be careful because according to a few posters on this thread, and despite the relatively close vote, EVERYBODY wanted to leave and to imply it has to do with educational level or academic achievement is elitist. I don't know what other conclusions can be drawn...

I agree with the bolded; the bed has been made and now people should have to lie in it bed bugs, fleas, scratchy blankets, and all. And from what I'm hearing from public statements, the rest of the EU also wants the UK gone quickly and I know the rest of the global economies want that, as well...

:tongue:

You are most welcome!

Not unexpectedly, the UK's long-term credit outlook has been downgraded to negative by Moody's, which will make credit more expensive and difficult to secure. https://www.moodys.com/research/Moodys-changes-outlook-on-UK-sovereign-rating-to-negative-from--PR_350566

It's actually not difficult. We literally have the vote tally that expresses exactly that and the actual numbers tell a different story; 52% of people supported leaving the EU and 48% of people supported remaining in it. I'd call that a close divide with an obvious majority opposed to continued...

Baloney.

I agree that a lot of people are being incredibly self-centered and tone deaf in their attitudes. Personally, I am keeping track of all who say "get over it, the people have spoken, fall in line," particularly in the USA, so I can remind them of those views after I suspect they will conveniently...

A nice politically loaded soundbite, but keep in mind that they may not get a choice. When it becomes economically inefficient to work with them, they may find themselves isolated by virtue of the effects of a free market economy with free trade zones of which they are not a part. It will almost...

It's unfortunate that you're insulted, but it's borne out by empirical data. The more highly educated a voter was, the more likely they were to vote to remain. It wasn't a perfect correlation, but it was clear and, I believe, quite telling. I also suspect that's why most of us on this board know...

What economic analysis are you basing this on, because it does not jibe with any that I'm reading or hearing? This is more likely to set off a global recession, or at best stagnation, than a quick bounce back. Actually, it will likely look like a yo-yo, as the markets will try to rally but...

To the bolded, you have identified the basic game theory that is at play (the classic Prisoners' Dilemma), but in this case Prisoner A has already publicly made their move, i.e. the UK voting to leave the EU, and they're now fundamentally asking Prisoner B, i.e. Scotland, to not make its move in...
