1. South Europe needs to demolish their nations and start again, that's the only way anything there will be fixed soon. And they're dragging the rest of the developed world down with them

    You make it sound nice, but your idea is impossible. They can't start from scratch, because of the bond with other countries. The only things these countries can do is restructure the economy and make their people pay for their mess. Taxes should be raised and the age of retirement should be higher (45 as an age of retirement is rediculous when your life expectancy is at least 70!).
    These countries can't be cut from the Euro because that would be even more expensive..
  4. All good Europeans became Americans long ago. (smokes cigar well firing tommy gun in air)
  5. Because America doesn't have a budget deficit? Because you can get decent health care? Because it's the land of hopes and dreams?
    America is just a facade behind which lies a broken country..
  6. The US is very segregated. Loads of things are still great there.

    1. Switzerland 5.74
    2. Singapore 5.63
    3. Sweden 5.61
    4. Finland 5.47
    5. United States 5.43

    That's the top of the latest World Economic Forum Global Competitiveness Report.
  7. You guys need a sense of humor. I love my country, and don't want to live anywhere else, but that was a joke. And FYI we do have decent health care
  8. I'm not just talking about the economy.. Sociale it's still backwards; there's still racism against black people, why are gay people still discriminated?
    The only way to make something of your life is when your paren are rich or you're very good at a popular sport.. The country is very segregrated and there's a lot of social stratification..

    Not very if you are are poor.
  10. You have no idea, what your talking about. If your willing to work you can make something of yourself. I'd be lying if I said discrimination didn't exist, but it aint as widespread as you make it out to be.

  11. Hence charity. We are the most charitable people per capita in the world you know.

  12. Charity leaves some people in the without, and some people in the "right group" with more.
