So fellow Europeans, how shall we reform Europe?

[Kropotkin]

I think you are slightly underestimating the size and relevance of EU law, esp in all things economic...

Ah you 'blue banana'-people . The structure of the economy is still different in many ways. General statements about investments in information technology is probably not saying much. My guess is that there's way to much differences between the center and the periphery in the EU.

I say Mark L should become the leader of Europe.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Can't be any worse than Hitler.

Can he?

[Bereta_Eder]

Only if someone like Boob becomes your president

...hitlers' left wing to mr dornan

[reds4ever]

so if there was a single miltary, would the greeks be willing to send their countymen into combat in defense of the falkland islands or to ireland (who is also in the mix)? or would the brits send their troops if turkey made a concerted push on cyprus? i hope people looking back in 50 years will see this time as a nessarcery evil on the way to a united europe, but it's going to be interesting to live through

[History049]

reds, very much true. hitler was to the left of marx.

[reds4ever]

mr dornan, strange times 1900-1930, great minds like marx and trotsky reacted to years of cruel Tzarist rule by going off the deep end with their theories

[TCO]

What will be the universal language?

[reds4ever]

luuurve!

"General statements about investments in information technology is probably not saying much. My guess is that there's way to much differences between the center and the periphery in the EU."

Just like with different US states. Or swedish regions. Or is IT investment in Stockholm the same as in Lappland and Norbotten ?

There's a book out that tries to investigate the sexual orientation(s) of A. Hitler. From what I read on the issue there's a couple of indications of homosexual encounters (I do belive it was under Hitlers 'artistic' period). Some, at least, of those should have been a way to make a living. Ie Hitler would at some occasions been a male prostitute. The evidence isn't conclusive however.

My guess is that Hitler had some 'perversions' that stopped him from having a 'normal' relationship with women. That's not the same as being gay however.

Bob Dornans 'left wing characterictistcs' is pure BS. Mostly the effect of his own narrowmindedness than any real knowledge on the subject.
