The Lisbon Treaty - the end of Amsterdam?

For anyone that doesn't know what is going on in Europe at the moment here is a quick catch up:
The EU has written up a treaty to compine all european countries together almost like "the United States of Europe" but in doing this they are taking control away from small and medium size countries and giving it to bigger countries like the UK, Germany & France so they will basically control Europe, not all control will be taken from the small countries
I.E: Germany's voting power - 18% Irelands voting power - 0.8%

The Treaty has been about for many years, in 2005 it was rejected by the dutch and the french and was put on hold, other countries passed it because it was their politicians that voted it in, not the people.

Ireland is the only country that has currently has a vote in whether the treaty will go through or not, in 2008 we had a big referendum and Ireland voted NO, the big knob politicans from the EU went mad and told us we were doomed......................so then the recession hits.

While in Holland a few weeks after the referendum we were doing the rounds around the coffee shops and every shop we went into we were thanked by the staff and other customers simply for voting no, they later explained that a yes vote would mean the closer of more coffee shops and the eventual disappearence of the cannabis industry as the EU have strict anti-drug laws and will enforce them when they are able to, all they need is the treaty to go through so they will have control over Holland.

Aware of the fact that cannabis is still illegal in Holland they just explained that once the police are forced to take a hard stance then they would be screwed. but they were happy it didnt go through so nothing to worry about........

until now, the EU has forced Ireland to vote on the exact same treaty because they didnt like our first answer, so as you can see democracy is alive and healthy here.

so tomorrow (2nd october) Ireland will vote again, and the worst thing i'm seeing is that most people look to be voting yes, the main reason, the EU promise's job's from big companies, even with no evidence this will happen.

by the time alot of people read this post i'm sure the vote will be already through. but i thought i'd let everyone know, go to Amsterdam before the coffee shops are all closed down.

good man mosh, i was checking out flights for feb. the 4th is a free flight and so is the return on the 8th ... so you only have to pay taxes.. works out under 90 euro... see you there

cool! as long as its not with ryanair, after their advertisment in the Irish Independant, i will never fly with them again.

There 3 reasons to vote yes:
1: Good for Jobs
2: Good for the Economy
3: To piss off Sein Finn, Joe Higgins and Declan Ganley

what great reasons to throw away the countries freedom and independance.

and at the bottom of the ad "Don't be a loser and vote yes on friday"

and the main reason for Ryanair wanting people to vote yes and this is what Micheal O'Leary said himself "vote yes because our govenment is incompetent and this way i can force them to sell me Aer Lingus"

ryan air dont fly to schipol airport, they woulod probably dump you in some tulip field in eindhovan:thumbsup:

I would never vote away my countries sovereinity

if this passes somehow and lets hope it doesnt it is just one more step towards the world government that the powerful few truly want


god and i thought america was fucked...get me to costa rica pronto

well today is poll day, gonna go cast my NO vote as i hope many others do. Its hard to tell whether it will go through as the newspapers, tv and the millions of posters everywhere tell us to vote yes, but they did that last time too and people voted no, people i've been chatting to all say they are voting no too, apart from my own brother.........he's an idiot ;)
