Europe is a more trouble than can possibly imagine Tapper. Socialism doesn't work by accounts because the people/goverment will always spend more than they take in. Even if you raise the taxes they will still spend more..

Here is a great article for your review Tapper. When the soverign default start happening it will topple everyone just like it did in 30's. A few of the european countries will poof, others will seemingly have massive problems out of nowhere /wink.
I await your response when the EU rips itself apart in the next couple of years.



Pretty clear I'd say Shin.


Nic is just being silly. Before the financial crisis Denmark had just gotten rid of all (most?) of its debt.

It's like he doesn't understand that politicians in a socialist government aren't just a bunch of hippies that think money grows on tree's.

Of course they are not. They are hippies who think that they should have free access to the money trees in everyone's backyard. :D

How's Japan holding out anyway? Is there any movement towards abolishing the pro-smalllocalfamilybuisness laws / subsidiaries and opening food product imports?
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

@Gothos,

Nope. Domestic market is still pretty insular. Consumer culture in Japan is probably my biggest beef with this country. People pay ridiculous prices for things, with little questioning of why things are so expensive. Consumer's really take it up the arse for most things.

Actually, one of the reasons that Australia is doing so well is that we are selling resources to china in the forms of coal, iron, etc.

That being said, yes, we are heavily socialized, thought not as heavily as Europe. i like to think we have the best of both the american and European systems:

we will look after you if you are down on your luck to ensure your basic necessities, but it's not going to be a comfortable existence. if you're not happy about that, get your ass out there and look for a job.
Question:

Does being the only sane person in the world make you insane?

If a tree falls in the woods and a deaf person saw it, does it make a sound?

You could go after the eastern european model: even if you work, it's not a comfortable existence :>

from what i have gathered over the years, thats the Marduk/Wiggles way. i mean, he's been back maybe two days and already called someone a dogs cock.
There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.
