What good have the Romans ever done for us anyway?

Apart from helpful laws, easy travel, a consistent currency, consumer and employee protections, more negotiation authority, and humanitarian aid, what has the EU ever done for us?

Do you know the difference between EU and Europe?

The EU didn't even exist yet during most of those. And where it does it's still something different.

I think that they share your opinion and are saying that there were way fewer conflicts between EU-members than there would have been without it.

Now that you point it out, I can see that that may be what they were saying.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

Yeah, I should've explained my point a bit more.
