He doesn't lack stored energy though. ;)


Nope. Just calling it as I see it.

Maybe if you provided a reasonable argument rather than just calling people "brainwashed" people might think better of you.

1381017 2014-08-08 03:18:00 Why should I have to justify myself?

I worked with both politicians so I know what I am talking about.

Well, calling people brainwashed and not backing it up with evidence might lead people to think you are in fact the brainwashed one ;)

1381020 2014-08-14 05:30:00 Absolutely disgusting disgraceful behavior. The Kraut is acting more like Hitler every day. We do not need this fat ******** in our country any longer, and he should have been repatriated to somewhere like Nigeria ages ago.

Goodness me Richard, you seem quite excited over this foreign fellow.

I hope you are in full recovery mode!Re health not heir .com.

1381021 2014-08-14 22:25:00 Just an OT thought here, the three countries most affected by loss of local manufacture and jobs to China have been those who practiced Reganomics, Thatchernomics and Rogernomics......just a thought.
The system you appose is the same system that made those countries shine above the others.

But alas it seems due to greed it's time has come.

We should start looking towards Scandinavia.

The Nordic Model has its attractions, but it would mean you would have to continue your move leftwards Cic, (could you cope with that ?), especially with more extensive welfare state, much higher taxes and the governments spending around 50% and more of GDP.

Still they are regarded as being among the world's happiest nations

Then there is Germany and Switzerland to consider.

Ask them how happy they are, after their economies collapse due to debt burden . Cant prop up economies with borrowing forever.
I'll bet the greeks were pretty happy 5-10 years ago
:p

Interestingly, the ruskies were considering the Nordic model at one stage.

1381025 2014-08-15 21:59:00 The Nordic model will stop working when non Scandinavian ethnic immigrants become a bigger part of the population, just like New Zealand and US. All the graft from the hard workers isnt going to be able to pay for people dependent on state benefits. prefect (6291)
