You can be punished by the gods for cursing. The fact that most of the time they don't punish you doesn't mean it's not dangerous.

- JadeNB 10y agoI think that the point is that the lack of consequences of an action taken only once does not prove the lack of harmfulness of that action, rather than that Brexit (or any other action) definitely, absolutely is harmful (which I don't think anyone is yet in a position to say for sure).
- gozur88 10y agoI understand. But the idea that Brexit was going to destroy the UK economy, particularly before Article 50 was even invoked, was never more than scare mongering. The priests said the gods would be angry. When the punishment didn't happen, should we assume we dodged a bullet and the gods decided to be merciful, or should we assume the priests don't really speak for the gods?
