Ah yes. The dreamer still convinced that the EU is destined to not dissapoint. Well gee.....
I certainly hope not.. I have far more hope for our federal government than any of the old fashion average piece of **** governments in any country of the world, including the US.. The US political model was created for a 18th century world, and is merely functioning today.. Many European governments are worse..
The European Union is a constantly developing modern government, built for the new millenium.. I certainly hope it wount be a fu** up like all the rest.. I also have some hopes for China, they are also building a modern government.. I love the idea of a democratic one party state..
- European colonialism that has destroyed the tribal harmony in the under developed world to this very day.
- Two European instigated world wars that saw more devistation and blood shed in one century than in any other.
- The greatest culprit of death in the 20th century was European Socialist Fascism and Russian and Chinese Communism.
True, the world was even more stupid before than it is now.. But its still damn stupid..
The worst of "it" appears to be clearly under a European prescription. Then America enters the world as "babysitter" to defend the free world from the Soviet Union. Being new to the game and with only Europe to learn from, a few mistakes are made. And considering our inexperience and the European mess we inherited, I would say that it is remarkable so few mistakes were made. After all, we didn't walk the world into a world war nor did we enter a nuclear war. Today we deal with a European model of international governance that chooses to massage "soveriegnty" to save Europeans (Bosnia), but spare no glance over towards blacks in Africa or Muslims in the Middle East.
Shame is is that the US spent a trillion on the useless fu**ed up war in Iraq when the same amount could have created stability in much of Africa.. Remind me again, why exactly did the US go to Iraq? And why exactly didnt the US go to Africa instead?
Aside from all this, I didnt live in the past, I live now, I care about what happens now and in the future, we cannot change the past...
If you ask me (and I don't care if you do), America seems to be left holding the bag and trying to make sense of what Europe largely created. And it also seems to me that under our "watch" we have spared the world from anymore European civil wars gone global.
Europe created America and all your values are European old fashion values, a shame it is that you arent adopting new European values then...
So....you're welcome. ......And for Coca~Cola. You're welcome for Coca~Cola too. And our Hollywood. And our Music. By the way...isn't America the first Western country to have a black man as President? Once again, despite the critics, the nay sayers, and the jealous dregs who seek ways to celebrate our weaknesses and imperfections, America leads the way.
I only drink water and milk, occationally a fanta and a coca cola, and occationally some alcoholic beverages.. I dont care about coca cola actually, the world would be better off without this unhealthy drink, and personally I would be happy if it was gone..
Wow, brag about the one archievement of the US.. First western country with a black president.. Nice to see you are over the segregation, congrats.. Should I mention some things that Europeans was first with? Just about anything that has ever happend is the list then..
By the way, Maximus, how is that EU unity holding up these days? Italy and Ireland still going it alone in regards to your economy crisis? And didn't Germany blast them for that only to turn around and announce that they too were going it alone?
I'd say its going above expectations.. Except the Irish bastards broke competition rules by single handedly guaranteeing without approval the backing up off all deposits in banks.. Something which equals their bankrupcy if they have to follow up this... Germany is wealthy, of course they want to go it alone, but they arent.. Pan European funds have been set up, pan European banks have been bailed out etc etc.. Its going fine.. The Euro is still strong ad by far the best currency in the world, backed up by the biggest and most diverse economy in the world etc etc etc.. bla bla..
The tribes have spoken. And c'mon. Let's not pretend that Europe can protect itself either. Forty years of licking World War wounds amounted to a Europe that still needed America to execute most of the missions in Bosnia for you. And ten years after that NATO proves less than prepared to deal with Afghanistan without us doing the heavy lifting.
I think Europe actually can protect itself from most enemies.. We have 2 million men in service.. I agree our militaries sucks, which is one of the reasons I favor a European military integration and new defense policies and the recreation and rebuilding of our armed forces. I think it would be best if Europe had a single armed forces which cooperated with the US forces in a new NATO framwork.
But when all is said and done..America can simply pick up its toys and go home. You are stuck over there. Mired in your resentment and loss of power with an unpredictable future in store. A future where America doesn't have to help.
I am not stuck over here.. Last year I lived in Belgium and Norway, the yea before in Belgium and the Netherlands and Ireland.. So far this year I have lived in Belgium, Norway and now I am currently enjoying living and doing some work in Spain.. My life is fine.. I would love for life to become more unpredictable tho, I hate predictable lifestyles.. I may just enlist in the army for a few years from next year, just for the unpredictability of it..
