My point is that when I'm there I see people working, raising there families, planning a future and hearing people casting them as fat lazy whatevers is not indicative of the truth. Quoting: Anonymous 26771446 The point is not that anyone is lazy, its just a different mind set. It is not possible for the Southern countries to compete with the North. But that also means that they wont have the same lkiving standard and that is where there anger comes from. You can not become rich by exporting olives and goat milk.

Debt problem is a worldwide phenomenon ffs, the euro just helped this bubble to blow earlier, while both of north and south Europeans are being sucked dry by the same Brussels banksters until this happens, everyone will be affected, everyone who doesn't think so needs a check and medicine and stop living in a bubble-dream. Quoting: insertfunnyusername Debt problem is actually fairly recent in the USA. I remember during Clinton's administration we were in "danger" of paying off the national debt. Clinton actually went on TV and explained that he was reversing policy and would now seek to run deficits rather than surpluses, because if we extinguished much more debt the 30 year US Treasury bond market would be adversely affected. I kid you not. He said that, and my jaw dropped watching the speech live. And then he did it. And that was the beginning of the slide into destruction for the USA economy. Scary and i'm sure your are not kidding me, this though was not the beginning of destruction of only the US economy, dollar is the world's currency, everyone is affected if US economy have problems, but our eurocrats in Brussels wanted to bring the collapse sooner by installing a currency that every fucking economist on earth at that time said it's problematic while at the same time they looting Europeans in daylight for their agenda. It's super fucking retarded to say that 150 million people are lazy and have mentality issues, seriously everyone still parroting this BS from their MSM after 3-4 years of crisis is a sheep of unimaginable proportions, problem lies elsewhere ffs, get off your high horses, whole Europe will go down eventually, stop parroting sheepy agenda. |

After trying over and over to implement the euro, and having it not "take" repeatedly because the idea is frankly ridiculous, suddenly the southern countries were able to agree to terms. We now know that some mismarked derivatives had something to that. Not really covering up the facts, but allowing an excuse for willful blindness by those able to make the decisions. This whole thing was never put to a popular vote except in Ireland, where they revoted because the people didn't see the light the first time. |

Quoting: Éireann Don't feed the trolls. American's and Canadians talk about changing things. Then we sit back and watch how real people go about making change. If America could unite, in force, on just ONE single issue like they do in Europe - stand up and march in the streets everywhere, then perhaps something in America would change. OWS was more ambitious than this in a way, they actually occupied space for an extended period. But it's fizzled. Thank goodness, in this case. OWS was misguided and infiltrated to the core. Now if just plain old Americans had gotten together back in 2008 before all of that TARP shit started, THEN maybe some real change would have happened on Wall Street and in the Banks. Bitching at the Bankers wasn't the way. Congress was the way and we should have all been standing there. If you mean, before the markets crashed, I'm not sure how an intervention could have worked even then. Bernanke was doing a series of moves from the Fed that were helpful to the banks, each one unpredictable and unprecedented by the Fed. As you know, the Fed is substantially independent from the political process. Lots of people could see that shit was getting weird, enough to make a difference, but I think opportunities for peaceful change were carefully removed all along the way. Um. The markets did crash in 2008. But you're right. People were in such a mad dash that once again, just like 9/11, people panicked and said, "Oh Federal Government! Save us!". But after the people started realizing what was going on, they should have showed up at Congress on mass.

In terms of production/habitant or production/square km., Germany + France are DWARFED by Ireland + Greece and are crap compred to Spain + Italy.

You take only cereals in account, and France and Germany do only import agriculture products that can't be grown there, and products that are way cheaper abroad and they can't compete with (especially the Asian countries).
