[Serious] When will China exceed the US in aggregate nominal GDP?

[KrazyHorse]

Please don't belittle my niece. Wanker.

Does your niece often comment on macroeconomic indicators?

[KrazyHorse]

Keep in mind that the Yuan may appreciate in relation to the Dollar during that time period...

But will the nominal change be ppp adjusted?

[DanS]

I read the OP to assume that no PPP adjustments were to be made for this poll.

It seems likely that the Yuan would appreciate substantially if allowed to do so by the Chinese gov't.

Possibly, I can't understand what she says. I figure she is just being a genius.

Not the current Euro coin, but a commemorative coin struck in 2007, worth 12.5 Euros:
This one.

EDIT: It just occurred to me that, while he's not as bad as Leo 2, Andrew Jackson was pretty nasty to the Cherokee, and he's on our $20 bill. So it's not like I'm throwing stones here.

That's pretty awful and to be honest I wasn't even aware of that coin. To be fair his statues are few and far between, but there's still an equestrian statue depicting him on a square behind the royal palace. It's besmirched from time to time though.

All in all the younger generations consider him as a relentless powermongerer mostly responsible for the atrocities in Congo. Unfortunately this fact is seldom stressed in basic education.

In any case nobody views him with any level of reverence. It's just plain fact that quite a few monuments were erected during his reign, but then again we're not going to dismantle them just to clear our conscience right?

I would dismantle the entire of brussels in a heartbeat

It's funny how in every country, there's always a minority of nationalists who keep alive the memories of the worst atrocities of a nation as if 'it wasn't that bad' etc...

IIRC there's even a museum dedicated to this guy and the Congo in Brussels - all with the truth airbrushed over of course!

[dannubis]

It's even more funny once you realize that the biggest nationalists in Belgium are republicans.

I read the interesting parts of the thread.

You must not be doing much reading around here these days.

Hey, **** for brains, are you authistic or something? Stop replying to issues I don't even bring up.

Look here to have an idea of what I am talking about:

Running into an empty room and dropping your pants while shouting at the bewildered cat to suck your dick is something most of us none - sociopaths consider to be strange.

Is this supposed to be some kind of meaningful response, you ****ing moron? That's the ****ing FX triangle I ****ing mentioned 2 pages ago.

You really are a moron.
