WOW MUST BE THE TALLEST COMMUNITY I'VE SEEN

Please Please someone do some research on Pubmed HGH INCREASES GROWTH RATE NOT FINAL HEIGHT -yes keep reading this and look it up for got sake. THEY ONLY TREAT KIDS WITH GROWTH HORMONE DEFICIENCY THAT'S IT.

IF YOU DISAGREE PLEASE BRING STUDIES ON NORMAL INDIVIDUALS I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THEM.

Delbert, how is that different from how the USA treat their financial problems? Or Japan? Comparing the net government debt as percentage of the GDP of EU countries and the USA, I notice that the USA's govt. has a higher debt than most EU countries. Sure, if we are still comparing the EU to only Switzerland, then the Swiss beat the EU easily on debt. It appears there is an inverse correlation between the amount of mountains and the amount of debt. Who knew.

 

And nobody disagrees that mistakes were made. Many agree that Greece shouldn't have been allowed into the Euro-zone. But is the solution to abandon the whole EU? No, it is not the solution. None of you address the alternative of the EU: no EU, but instead 27 individual smaller states. Would they really all be better off? I seriously doubt it.

 

I still think that the EU is for a large part the reason we have not had any wars in most of Europe since WWII. Also, it has brought freedom and open borders, which is totally awesome. Do you guys even know that one can drive from Amsterdam to Paris (that's 2 borders: Dutch-Belgian and Belgian-French) without ever stopping? 100-130 km/h all the way. Not even any border police. Between Belgium and the Netherlands, they've even removed the border offices altogether. I call that progress. It makes the lives of all the people living here better.

 

Sure, they squander some billions... but seriously, who the hell cares that politicians waste some money if you get peace and prosperity in return? I don't. I think that the banks are much bigger a**h****. They are the ones that create the actual bubbles.

 

Nobody is saying the EU is perfect, but I'd rather have an EU than no EU. And I hope they regulate the hell out of the banks.

Ok so were both doing the same thing bringing up the good/bad points. I'm going to end my say here, i agree with all those good things but i believe that its not going to work. Something big will happen to the Euro

Do you have any sources for that?

 

All I could find was this from wikipedia:

Kolkhozniks and individual peasants did not have passports and could not move into towns without permission. Permissions were given by chairpersons of collective farms or rural councils. Repeated violation of the passport regime was a criminal offence.

 

Living in the EU, I don't have to contact any official if I want to go to Paris, London or Budapest today.

 

Well, I live in the EU (in the Netherlands), and I voted for the EU parliament in 2009. Here's some more about those elections (wikipedia).

 

Not many want it to become the "united states of Europe". You should stop listening to your populist politicians or media.

I do think your understanding my point of elections ,you voted for an MEP, the four president have not been elected by the people, they make the big decisions. So we can't reelect someone else if we don't like their policies. I don't listen to the media i actually think you do, i do quite the opposite you let them tone down what is happening in Europe and you just take it on face value. It is serious and i know its nice to be all politically correct and go with the flow, but what i'm saying is its going to get worse.

But are there not some things quite dissimilar to the old USSR?

 

- Free traveling within the EU and outside the EU

- Elections for the EU parliament

- Multiple parties in parliament

- No centralized army (there's no equivalent in the EU to the old Red army)

- No KGB (at least not centralized)

- Free speech in the EU

 

Seriously guys, don't you think you're exaggerating slightly? This thread has been simple EU bashing from the start. Do you all live in that awesome place that is Switzerland or something??

- They had free travel within the USSR

- No election for the EU i'm afraid to tell you, that means when monstrosities happen in Greece no one can be held accountable on the decisions of the country. Its the hole of Europe and most will agree Europe is completely different especially north and south as we see them Tear away from the rest of Europe. I'm not saying Europe is like USSR but its just this project i believe is going to spiral out of control just like USSR. When 2014 comes along the Greece's economy all in all since the crisis is predicted to retract 25%, this isn't flat lined this is shrinking- Money leaving at a massive scale. This is worse than the great depression where we saw the Germans take the identity of Nazism, i just can't see how much Greece and others to come can take. Look i love my European brothers and sisters but were strangling them with this dream that we can become a United states of Europe when we can't.

All you people got it wrong, the EU is getting more dictatorship by the day and just like when the soviet union came up with Communism it was in good intentions, but ended up killing 40 million of their people. Just ask your self what happened to the Irish referendum on the Lisbon treaty, why was the last Greek politician told to step down after he said he was going to ask the people for a referendum. When the bureaucrats went to Italy they where told it was inappropriate to have a general election, really? So what next for Greece and maybe other will follow, the only option for Greece to get out of this political and economic prison is civil unrest and eventually CIVIL WAR which will shock the world once more, i mean people are still shocked by Nazism in 1930's and its simple the only thing that caused it was economic failure. The only way Greece can get back some dignity is by defaulting and going back to the drakmer, we've seen Iceland do it, why can't Greece or i forgot the bureaucrats have them in a choke hold, same for Italy, Portugal and Spain soon.

Please watch Nigel Farage in the EU parliament he's been a president for over 10 year, he's not just UKIP leader who came from no where
