Somebody already invented a logo you could reuse as noone uses it anymore:

It has Warsaw in it, so the Poles will sure like it.

you have to admit, bush used the quote in a context, and this quote isn't used much outside of this context like "nuts" or "alea iacta est".

Normally I would agree. But as a great eye, there is no excuse, you should have seen this.

Although its a symptom of a real problem, I think this is a good thing. It puts more pressure on the republican party to perform better.  It sends a clear message: If you don't achieve something, you will loose. No more cheap talk cause there is no alternative, but real action.

This might not be your smartest post Einstein yet, lol.
Be fair here, so many variables are incorrect it would not remotely prove anything.

Those many variables, many of witch we don't understand, are exactly why I don't believe those "global warming" prediction*. Its pretty funny to watch someone predict global temp will rise 0.7 degrees over X time but it gets really sad when I see people believe it. Is there any sense left in this world? We cannot predict the weather, let go the climate, let go the climate in the far future!

What this test proves for me is how easy people jump to conclusions and frankly this test resembles those "scientific models" of global warming pretty accurate.

what do you do for living then? Better invest in a good jacket if you want to do the wheelwell thing. We transport as much frozen Africans as normal ice-cream.

"next thing you know they'll say heineken is beer"
You keep beer in brown bottles cause otherwise it gets influenced by light to much and the taste gets bad. They keep Heineken in transparent green bottles that is enough said... We do the same btw but mostly for Belgian beers we ship off so Yell is right, we are clever.

I'm sorry Yell, we agree on many things, but here we differ. As any good Belgian I like beer and both versions s*** to be honest. I wouldn't even call it beer. tongue

But they do it all wrong. There are official records of who and how many, and they don't even have to perform hard labor. That way they cost money. Also the way the courts work is to expensive. No really, we can learn something from the Russians here. Simply send them to jail to work and let the guards do their thing.

"If you cancel your unions we can discuss this."
Believe me, I'm not their greatest fan, but as Zarf put it, it means an economic advantage for US if anything.

But don't you have the same problem, corrupt and populist unions? A majority in Belgium thinks the unions should change their ways, and thank God for that, but hey are still to strong and have a lot of political influence. I think we are united in this battle instead of divided.

At least we know whats wrong with Francois Holland.

"oh how could I say "Russian" I meant "alien" or "Al Qaeda" nvm ofc Russia is not our enemy anymore! ofc not!"
That would be rude, especially after all their efforts to put the bad Russians behind bars. Their prison camps are exploding! There can't be anything but good Russians now I figured.

"And though i think the whole charade around Obama coming here was a little silly too, it pales in comparison to the real costs of housing the EU in Brussels, so whats a measly extra 700k for a day, right?"
You make a good point there. I never understood why they picked Brussels in the first place, with our poorly organized Belgian traffic infrastructure. They must have thought something like "hell, take Belgium, its a mess anyways."

"I somehow prefer not eating chicken which is dipped into chlorine over suing the producer after it made me ill."
lol

I think it is perfectly possible for US producers to change some products for export and the same goes for EU. We do it already for many products (beer for export etc) even if it is unnecessary so I don't know why it can't be arranged for the "sensitive" things. If anything you don't want an artificial producer benefit for one or the other, else a trade agreement will loose much of its initial value. The main thing that should lower is additional taxes on the border in whatever flavor they come with only a few exceptions.

...That and some practice for the 40k soldiers at the border. Although I think part of their fear is real. With unrest at home because of economic problems, they must be really crazy to invade Ukraine. If they have any sense you would save your planets after all. They have done crazy things before on the other hand so we'll see.

@schniepel:
"Only thing i am a little scared of is that we throw our relative high consumer protection laws over board and adapt lousy american standarts."
The joke is they proly feel the same way. They have higher standards in other fields as we do and vice versa. Its hard, if not impossible to say who has the highest obligated "standards". You have EU who tends to over-regulate at some areas, but you have an over the top sue-the-producer-culture in US to compensate for that.
