Markets didn't do that bad in the end today. Lots of money pumping again. Bank of England pledged 250b alone,they had safed up for events like this or would it just be a number in the computer again,lol. But this time it wont help,still at least 25% to go down in the next 12 months,also for the s&p, though they will probably manage to postpone the full meltdown till after the American elections. Just to make sure trump wont have a chance,you know.
That seems incorrect. There are 2.2 million in Spain alone.

Answers to all these questions are quite nicely presented here:
Yeah, No youtube videos made by weird MRA dudes with a webcam.
Sorry, no idea what is MRA. But this guy is not a weird dude with a webcam, he is probably the most successful company / philosopher of the current time, whose internet "lectures" have more than 100 million views.
So is he more or less relevant than Pewdiepie on the subject? On the scale of youtube stars, where does he rank?
Stop being so obnoxious. Is youtube prohibited from having smart people in it?
That specific video wants 51 minutes of my life when I just asked for 2 numbers. Not even a citation to where to get the data within the massive video.

No, he is not comparable with Pewdiepie. He does not deal with games, but with philosophy and politics. Not sure about your age when you ask such a question.
Next time, don't post a 51 minute video to a simple question and you will get a little less snark.
He was very polite and went out of his way to provide you with a video that you might find interesting in general so you could have been polite to too and say that it is not the kind of thing you were looking for or whatever, but you go and indirectly insult him for him appreciating "MRA guys with a webcam on youtube".

Once again I am going to point you to the example of Kosovo and how immigration can really have severe consequences for a country.
Crossing the road at a red light "can" get you killed. It can also be the opposite.
What is the benefit of crossing the road at a red light?

Red light for the cars* (though yeah, crossing the road at the red light for pedestrians have its advantage : no waiting)
I'd like to thank the Brexit crew for guaranteeing the Dollar stays the strongest currency in the world. But really Cameron and Parliment should do the right thing and ignore the non binding referendum thats going to sabotage the countries future and destroy the UK.

I dunno, wouldn't it be a glorious "fuck you" from Cameron if he respects the referendum and the UK ends up actually destroyed?

Oh right, ok. Seems like a really small benefit compared to the risk.
Cameron sent the right message in his speech. This was the will of the people, it's up to the people who lost to unite behind the people who won and listen to them and help them achieve their goals.

Well, the question is not answered after 51 minutes there, but after 3-5 minutes and with the details of what countries, what was the development in time, what does that mean ... like an extensive presentation, but today, the most people prefer someone telling it to them in a few minutes instead of to have to study some graphs. I have no problem getting a "snark" from a little child or a stupid person.

From experience, it can matter if you have 3+ streets to cross and you have to be in time for a specific bus/tram
I dunno, if you look around before you cross the risk seems pretty small. Would be an interesting statistic to know, what percentage of traffic casualties is due to crossing a red light.

"democracy didn't work out in our favor, better crash it!"
moments like this should be used for a discussion about democracy. maybe an important decision like this should at least require a two-third majority

Seems like a good idea for nothing to ever get done and no progress in either direction to ever be made.

Ha ha ha If that was the case the eu would never have been founded in the first place.

Do you mean, the fall from 106.8 to 100.0 within a few hours makes the USD the strongest currency in the world? That was quite a shock, when it fell in a few seconds from 106 to 103 (USDJPY) :-)

I tought we were talking about if you are driving a car. Oh well nevermind. This is kind of a stupid conversation anyway.
