1. Well was fun

    Seems like Greece liked their regular paycheck and stays in the Euro.

  2. We're doomed anyway, lol.
  3. Yep, thanks to the idiot who invented loans. The idea that everyone, even countries, spent more than they earn.

    We should've hanged Mr Loan
  4. Haha nice pic!
  5. hahahahaha
  6. Well I don't think the future of Europe is that bad, but some countries should restructure the economy. I hope this is a new start for Greece and with that Europe!
  7. We all should, the only difference between Holland and Spain is that Dutch people, on average, have more money on their bank account, the situation of the government is comparable (around 65% debt of the GDP)

    That's a bit surprising, but true. They have 69%, you have 66%. Sweden has been paying off some national debt during the latest years... I believe 38% is pretty good.

    The EU is on 83%.... whoah.


  9. I don't use Wikipedia as a source of fact, anyone can edit that site.

    But the fact is, there is no country in Western Europe where someone can't be elected if he's not a Christian. In the US a candidate has to state he's a Christian to even have a chance, which is very weird given that most Western countries are going through a process of secularization


    I stopped reading after you said but because the US is not a theocracy. No ifs, ands, or in your case, buts.

    That's also not entirely true in the US:
