Is Europe Lost?

IF you want to debate by reason stop using terms like Primitive or Cave men. Also there more monarchies In Europe, Dictators are common throughout the world and there are several religious states for example Israel and the Vatican.

They are called--"metaphors".

Name an operating--not ceremonial--European monarchy. Monaco? Grand Fenwick?
Australia and Canada have QEII on their money--but she decides nothing there.
The Vatican is--110 acres. Not exactly a world power.

I don't wish to debate anything here--online cannot be really a debate forum, that requires face-to-face, technically.
A forum of comments--impassioned if someone feels like it--is a way to see other's thoughts and then
reflect upon them and decide, perhaps, if you have gained anything in the process.

There are few Monarachy in the Middle east that give real power to the King. Perhaps Saudi Arabia and Jordan, But they both have parliaments and powerful religious leaders. No king or Queen in the Middle East has the power of the Queen of England to dismiss Pr9ime Ministers
 
Al-Qaeda blamed for Europe-wide forest fires

Al-Qaeda has been blamed for a recent series of forest fires across Europe, as the head of Russia's Federal Security Service claimed they were set by arsonists as part of the group's low-cost attack strategy.

I tend to agree.
They have zero sense of decency.
It will bring a European Holocaust on islam.
And--Europe invented all that good stuff.
As usual--Russians will lead. Finally, supporting Syria for decades--has come home to roost.
The foreigners are in place trying to bully the natives.
Things could get--real ugly--real fast.
 
Cruella, this is not "socialism". These European countries just have a very secure safety net for people, unlike the USA.
Their current economic problems aren't the result of this alleged socialism . The problem in the USA is that we have the exact opposite
of socialism or Marxism, where if you're down on your luck, you're basically screwed . And if Romney and Ryan are elected
this November, they're going to do everything in their power to dismantle and destroy our already inadequate safety net for
people down on their luck, and this will be disastrous .
Just giving all the tax breaks to the wealthy won't create jobs or increase general prosperity in America . Conservatives in
America are terrified that Obama is trying to "redistribute wealth" . But heck, the republican party has been doing this for ages.
But as reverse Robin Hoods, staealing from the poor and the middle class to give to those already rich .
So what do we have in the uSA? A tiny handful of superrich people and millions of Americans out of work through no fault of their own,
struggling to keep their heads above water, people who have been stuck on welfare for ages and are unable to find good jobs ,
and overall misery . Think I'm a Marxist or communist ? Heck,no ! I believe in capitalism and free markets, but also in a FAIR market .
I agree with you Robert Berger, The EU has just won the nobel peace prize. It has kept Europe for 60 years. A record.This is the main purpose of the EU to stop inter European wars. Both ww1 and 2 started in Europe. So regardless of financial problems I hope the EU continues.
 
Where do you get the 60 years?

The Maastricht Treaty (formally, the Treaty on European Union or TEU) was signed on 7 February 1992

The Forunners to the EU go way back to just after the war. The European Economic Community was in place at least in1972 when I firs tvisit Europe. At least as far as Western Europe is concern there has been no war since 1945 . Before that there were three wars between Germany and France from 1870.
 
The Nobel Peace Prize or any prize coming out of that committee is a joke. They gave it to Obama right after he was elected President before he did anything to deserve it.

Maybe they should read about Obama's ivolvement with Odinga and the Kenyan election. He was all into his "community organizing" in Africa too.

Obama has spread Peace and Harmony--indeed, Mirth-- all over the Middle East.

Of course, the Nobel Committee with it's--true devotion and vested interest in--the explosive dynamite industry, may well have chosen Obama out of self-interest. :ROFLMAO:

I do not want to get involve with the American Elections. The problem is that at least in the past the American President was so powerful he could make pace or war. The present American president has made peace by withdrawing from Iraq and will one President will soon do so by withdrawing from Afghanistan. Of course the result may not be what we want but few wars are settled without compromise.

The same applies to the EU. It has avoided war , the peace it brought you may not like , but I prefer to War

So why did we have Europeans, Canadians and Australian's helping us with the war on terror?
 
Cruella, I was referring to European wars. That all the EU was set up to do , to avoid a European war which would become a world war, The War on terror and actions in Afghanistan ad Iraq were never world wars and had far fewer casualties than WW1 or WW2

what the EU was intended to do was make a european economic giant, the sum is far greater than the sum of it's parts. and it worked to an extent until all the corruption, cheating and graft crept back into the fore. now its falling apart as it wsa predicted way back when. I'm surprised it held up as long as it did.
