Two different kinds of financial/idealogical bullshit.

I'd rather not live under either.

By curiosity, what part of the idea behind the European Union do you consider as "financial / ideological bullshit" ?

No judgment, I'm just curious to hear your opinion.
No.

The EU is too soft and wouldn't use enough drone strikes sensible applications of public order maintenance strategies to keep control of the whole world.

On the other hand the United States of Earth would probably go bankrupt when they cut taxes to 0.01% on people who only earn between $1 - $2 yearly.

Greece lying its way into the EU and the resulting financial hardships. Obviously someone knew about it and just looked the other way because the EU is as much about financial security as it is physical security.

There's also some minor quibbles i have in regards to trade but its not a big deal. I have more issue with yank protectionalism affecting us then anything the EU does.

I enjoy that bit, mostly because it irritates some insufferably smug germans.

I will give someone a million dollars in monopoly money if they post in the CPAC thread saying that since all the victims of slavery are dead we should stop caring about it and move on.

@ Aaron : On the downside, they've been severely slowing down the European Integration Process in the.. process.

As long as the UK will be fully part of the EU we will probably not see an European Federation.

Though there's been more and more signals from France and Germany's leadership that if the UK doesn't get its shit together about the EU in general, it's going to be left on the sides as the other will be integrating more between themselves, but without them (like with the Euro, but better / less incompetently).

I guess I once followed some guy's link to the Amazon page of some right wing book about ZOMG TEH MUSLIMS

So now Amazon thinks I might like right wingnut literature

I suppose the question on the European Integration thing is...what's the goal? A United States of Europe? Something else that keeps the individual countries as sovereign entities? How much power should EU institutions have to make law/policy in these otherwise sovereign countries? Will it really represent 'Europe' or be dominated by France and Germany? Will poor little Luxembourg (and other smaller states) just be along for the ride in an Integrated Europe? And so on.

I would say there are valid questions to have about the whole process, and it's not just "lol Brits holding it up" though I'm sure some of their objections are probably silly. But I don't really follow the whole EU drama so...

i just clicked subscribe on a youtube channel and it insisted i log in

then started asking if i want to use my real name so i'm like "no"

and now it is asking "are you sure? help us understand what option is important to you"


but there's no "I DON'T GIVE A FUCK. JUST EMAIL ME WHEN THE NEXT VIDEO IS POSTED"

So, I think I've finally come up with the last detail I need for the finale of my Chuck Norris: Ace Reporter novella. Now I just need to fill in some of the blanks earlier on.

Just played a few acoustic sets at a semi-classy engagement party

For the first set everyone was too busy talking so we snuck in a bunch of dysfunctional relationship songs to pad time. And Greenskeepers. One guy got it.

These changes basically describe any and all attempts I've ever made at fiction writing, fan or original.

Lots of red squigglies in MS Word because my typing goes to shit. :v

Ok I lied I'm actually a pretty decent typist. Not with the whole fingers on the keys thing like you're supposed to; I'm just really good at the ol' hunt and peck.

It's more that I just lose interest and/or go "OH LOOK SHINIES" and thus never follow through.

This doesn't bother me, though. Considering 99% of what I'd do is probably a rip-off of something else anyway. :sun:

you know you want to write a fic where dr tommy oliver regains his green ranger powers to put the smack down on zeltrax. who then supersizes and has to be put down by the Thundersaurus megadragonzord.


edit: swapped out 'dino thunder' for 'thundersaurus' man that was a goofy name for a megazord.

Hell no.

Tommy is overrated.

My PR fanfic would be Billy coming back from Aquitar and single-handedly laying the smackdown on whichever Big Bad is around at the time, then being declared President of the World For Life by a unanimous global vote and ten years later Star Trek happens. :poop:

wait if ten years later star trek happens wouldn't that mean billy caused WWIII at some point and got the majority of the world's population nuked?

way to go blue ranger.

and i recall one time the world was in jeopady because he put the the batteries in his day-saving gadget in the wrong way down. some geniisu he was.
