And yet many anti-Europe Right-wing people argue that the Germans and French are the prime movers of the European project and the actual purpose is to make one State...

Of course both views are wrong and the Euro is merely suffering from the world recession just as every other currency is.

Krugman is able to say what I mean more eloquently that I can:

http://dealbook.blogs.nytimes.com/20...the-euro-trap/

Four possible futures:

- single European country
- France and Germany leave, everybody else stays
- France and Germany stay, everybody else leaves
- everybody leaves

I think that the problems in Europe are only starting, and they will result in the breakup of the EU.

You have to register to see it, The trillion dollar fund that the EU and the US put together to push up European bond prices has to be running out very quickly. They have Ireland, Greece, Portugal, and Spain to save, and that is only the start.

It's like they're punching themselves in the face and complaining about how much it hurts, so their answer is to use a bat instead (can't improve upon trumpt's apt analogy).

I know it's a really long shot but I predict an anti-masturbation Tea Party candidate will win the nomination for the repubs and days later will be shown on tape saying she had sex with numerous witches on satanic alters, will cancel all her first major TV appearances and carry on like no one noticed.

Well, you see, that kind of stuff is extremely important when it comes to O'Donnel, but somehow irrelevant when it comes to Obama.

Obama's birth certificate = stupid bullshit.
O'Donnell may have gone on a date with someone who practiced witch craft = totally relevant and important!

Perhaps. But this was over a decade ago about things she did more than 2 decades ago (high school) when she was an idiot like almost everyone during their teen years.

I don't hold anything I've read about that earlier recording against her, unlike the Obama Birthers views on Obama. Maybe she got muddled as to what the meaning of the so called "satanic alter" was, so she could have at least tried to set that right.

So she lies. MJ1970 why are you so keen to defend that?

About what? I was talking about the witch/satan thing. You suddenly shifted gears. About the canceling show appearances? I didn't hear anything about that until you mentioned it. I don't follow her as closely as you seem to. I don't have enough information on that particular item to have formed an opinion. Nor do I really care. But I know you (and others on the left) care deeply, so...

I did. There was a quote in your comment. You said, in the present tense, that you didn't know what he was talking about, as you were quoting exactly what he meant. Had you used the past tense, your comment would have made a little more sense.

First, doesn't care doesn't belong in quotes. Second, what am I conjecturing about? I see Hands Sandon conjecturing about someone lying. What exactly am I conjecturing about?

I used quotes deliberately, because it's obvious that for you that phrase is more complex than you're making out.

Second, "conjecturing" is not a word any more than "refudiate" is.

Third, the conjecture you believe is that O'Donnell is being criticized without cause. We're showing cause, and to that you respond that you "don't care".

No. It's that she's being criticized for stupid shit. I'm sure there are many worthwhile things to criticize her for, but everyone's hung up on masturbation, the lack of knowledge about Wicca and Satanism and, in your case, using crude and piggish humor to disparage her.

If you don't care that she may have lied then why do you say you care about honesty?

Not willfully ignorant of it. It just hasn't been shown to my satisfaction. This is all inconsequential BS and I think you know it. But won't admit it. You have too much invested in this being important.

Wait, are you telling me that when presented with evidence that runs contrary to your viewpoint, you consider said new evidence and sometimes change your opinion? You don't just reject it outright and call the bearer of the contradictory news some derogatory word?
