Moi Red, Welcome.

KAJI! ARRRGH! Don't leave me again couch. Good to see you. Now all we need is Khorde and it's a party. Khorde Khorde, komsi komsi.

Scots are awesome... Love the scottish accent! Must be the best accent out there Due to ...certain circumstances I'm a bit biased though. Ok, a lot. Perhaps it's not so much the accent as the people. Heh.

Toro, what, did I hear you say something? Mosquitos? No, we have no mosquitos here, I'm afraid they prefer colder, more rainy weather. As perhaps you're well aware of. *grin* Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go out play in the sun.

Bye!

This thread is for discussing Europe and as we all know the only country that matters in Europe is Britain. Britain has a better economic system than all the other European countries. And I consider Britain's welfare state a hinderance to economic growth in many ways. But I don't know how many of you will be interested in an economic discussion so I propose to have a friendly chat about tea and crumpets. I have a picture of tea and crumpets in my avatar, partly to show how British I am and partly to let people know what crumpets are. I assume people know what tea looks like.

Tea and crumpets aren't actually that good.

Well i dont know what your babbling about Britain being the best. Everyone knows that Germany is elite and no other Euro. country even comes close. We have the best export/import agreements, make the best cars in the world (thats coming from the German guy who drives a Nissan lol), have the more people than any other European country, make more money than other Europeans per capita, and foremostly make the best beer to ever touch the lips of mankind. Hurrah for German alcohol!!!

Germans...
*starts to generalize*
They're fat, cause they eat saucages all day long and drink liters of beer.
All of them got huge amounts of hair on their backs, even the ladies.
When it's summer they come to our beaches in Holland and dig holes there and sit in them.
Yup...tat's what they do.
And crumpets are evil!!

Peace out

Ps. Andorra is the country everybody should worship.

Deutschland Uber Alles, huh? Three months back I saw a graph in The Economist titled 'Deutschland Unter Alles'. The graph was showing Germany's GDP growth compared to the UK and America. But of course, Germany could be said to be having some economic problems, such as the high percentage of unemployed people. And of course, Germany will recover with strong economic growth, right?

Like many other European countries there is far too much state involvement in the matters of the populace. Do you want to keep away high unemployment levels? Scrap the minimum wage, severely reduce the power of trade unions and drastically reduce the amount in unemployment benefits that are currently being paid out. Such measures distort the workings of the labour market and when such errors have been corrected uemployment will be at a higher level, although the wage cannot be said to be higher. However, what is best for the country? Having 10% of the people of working age without a job while the remaining have a relatively high pay or having 3% of people of the working age without jobs? As you say, Germany has the highest number of people in Europe. Just 1% counts for a lot.

There's plenty of wasteful spending in Germany too, isn't there? The foremost example I can think of is manning the army in times of peace. I don't agree with national service although many countries do it. The costs are obvious. I have read in various places that there is a lot of state subsidization in industries, be it in 'infant firms' or failing firms. I cannot remember specific examples which I can write here but I may do when I look up all the subsidized industries in Germany.

I don't particuarly care anymore. I'm bored of this post.
