Anyone thinks EU is a good thing?

[Poltergeist]

In forums like this one a strong criticism of European Union is very usual, if not prevailing mode of thought. I just wonder, is there anyone here who thinks EU is a great thing and who doesn't agree with its detractors.

I am certainly not one of those (fans of the EU, that is).

It could be a force for good, if run by responsible and preservationist-minded people. But sadly, it's not. The EU is good for one thing though -- preventing destructive nationalistic tendencies, as displayed in NS Germany.

Yes, it's good.

We shouldn't let the Germans start another world war!

I would be more inclined to accept Britain's place within the EU if firstly the British citizens were given the right to vote upon issues which directly affect them. It seems too many treaties and statutes have been passed through which have crippled once thriving sectors of British industry with no one gaining other than some French farmer or some small and insignificant country in the East. The high population shift over Europe, with more countries receiving higher amounts than others, has done nothing but damage the communities, industry/economy and the nations as a whole.

I would be more inclined to envision a European alliance rather than a union. Unions are the destruction of nations and should be halted and fought against by any correct minded European preservationist.

Some say it's - on the contrary - a tool of German doimination in Europe.

You mean expansionistic, tendencies aimed at the forceful change of borders?

Yeah, in that case only I could agree - to a certain extent - by acknowledging that it is an involunatry good side effect of an otherwise bad organization.

I'd agree that while the current incarnation of the EU is an almost exclusively negative force, without some strong degree of intra-European cooperation, most European nations are doomed to petty rivalry and global geopolitical irrelevance.

It certainly is a German tool for European domination and the Europeans were greedy and stupid enough to take German baksheesh in exchange for surrendering their land.

What's more, a lot of the EU's controls are being wrestled away by highly organised and well-financed special interest groups who, through the EU, have exponential leverage to take control of regions where they before stood little chance to do so.

The Germans have partially shot themselves in the foot imo. They thought they were building themselves another Holy Roman Empire but in actual fact they're only paying for it while the NWO are reaping the rewards.

In case anybody still thought the EU was a good thing.........

Yeah, it was great to travel in Romania only with ID card...And to get scholarship from the Euro funds.
That's what I've seen from EU so far, actually.
