What is the average summer temperature?


Around 15-20 degrees I guess is average. Colder at start and end of summer, but during midsummer can hit over/to around 35.

Very cold.......

Michigan is far warmer. As in those average highs are my average lows at night.

Texas was nice. Especially when there were 40 degrees in summer.

They are. But I think they'd stop when things get better, and when they'll get used to it, they'll want more.

They wouldn't stop. They'd start blaming all their old problems on their new EU overlords. It's the same thing in Poland.

Texas is even more humid if you were in Houston. If it was El Paso or Dallas, the humidity was reduced at least bit though as both are west of the Gulf of Mexico. In fact, El Paso is bone dry.

It's something called nationalism. Their nationalism gets in the way of how I want the EU to be a multi-national unified state, with every government answering to Brussels. I hope it keeps heading that direction.

Admittedly, I'd like for my vote to count for a bit more in Brussels before that happens.

I'd prefer a more democratic EU but we can't always have what we want. Until the anti-EU activists stop, I will continue to support the EU as it is.

The corruption that's been there since 1991 (which the EU is reducing in Poland)? EU's fault. Sagging economy that's always been shitty? (with Poland actually better now than it was before) Blame the EU. It's like they can't accept responsibility for the national failures because it hurts their pride too much.

It's so dry in El Paso that wildfires are a year round threat. Not exactly a good thing come to think of it.

I'd prefer a less democratic EU. A parliament is something that a sovereign state has. The council of ministers on its own is perfectly adequate for the kinds of things the EU should be doing.

I'd want a centralized EU with authority over all member states but I don't see how people will cease their complaints and support the EU unless they believe it can be democratic. The end goal is course for the EU to have supreme authority, and if it takes a bit of democracy to get that far, then that's how it is.

It's out of getting a kick from the squeels of nationalists crying about how their nation can't leave the EU. I don't see how that's zealous internationalism, it's just that nationalists piss me off so I go out of my way to annoy them as much as possible.

No thank you. I'm quite happy being British and I don't find the notion of a bunch of foreign-elected demagogues dragging my country's policies away from our own national interests very appealing at all.
