The thing is, Nishin, the countries that have experienced the worst pain cannot easily dig themselves out of the troubles.

Let's take Greece and Spain, for instance. Under the old system, the value of the drachma and peseta (sp?) could drop. This would enable Greek and Spanish exports to become cheap again, which would boost their industries, and so on.

As it stands today, the Euro works like a noose around their necks. Greece and Spain face long, grueling recoveries.

Heaven knows, I hope that I am wrong about this.

You're talking about technical details of the current system while I'm envisioning a larger picture...
China devaluates its money for cheap exports, USA prints more and more dollars whose value is indexed on ... stardust or something...
Certainly all US states are not equal in wealth and the poorest states are supported by the richest state's wealth?
When the EU can do that and reduce its dependence (energy wise) from volatile markets it will have reached its goal and upgraded its inhabitants prospects for better lives.

The euro is a Frankenstein monster, and the American sham capitalist system is the Wiz of Oz.
 
no matter how long you've been driving for or how much of a good driver you are. always stay alert on the road and pay attention to stop signs, yielding signs, stoplights and etc. it can save your life.

http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york...ar-crash-skipping-stop-sign-article-1.1204048

this just creeps me out because over the summertime, i almost got into a car accident when i ran a stop sign coming from the bank. i didn't see the stop sign and a car from the next street that had the right away almost knock my lights out. it would have been a head on impact to because the guy was speeding and i was driving extra slow. luckily, the guy stopped while i was passing through, he didn't beep me or anything. the police wasn't there either. i already have 4 points on my license for speeding on route 1 this year. don't need my license spended, worked way too hard to get it in the first place.

but yeah, a lot of people get caught slipping on the wheel around here especially with the yield signs. yield is another word for STOP for incoming traffic until it's clear. don't know why people ignore yield signs over here.
 
I learned that talking with some folks is useless....

Ok i didn't just learn that but it bears repeating.
 
i learned that wearing a hoodie in the gym with a thick shirt underneath is never a good idea.

^He has a point, RJ.

Once I went through a lazy stage. On my days off, I'd wear a baseball cap and wouldn't shave. I must have looked like white trash on wheels.

One day, I went to return a cable box. The people in the reception room openly mocked me. I have never forgotten the pain of that moment, but it did teach me an important lesson--people really do judge us by the clothes we wear.

It may seem unfair, but it's the ugly truth.

You might want to ditch the hoodie, RJ, and get out your Sunday best.

i disagree with that wholeheartedly. if someone wants to be ignorant, it doesn't matter how you dress or what you do, you can't change their way of thinking. that's something that's on them. they're still going to look at you the same way regardless whether you're in a suit or in street clothes. they have their minds made up about you and those are the people you need to watch out for. there's some exceptions to that such as going to a job interview or to work but otherwise, you have no right to be judged for dressing up in whatever you want simply going to the corner store or return a cable box. you should never blame yourself for someone's ignorance. it's not your fault. the people at the cable company were being jackasses and completely unprofessional laughing at you for how you looked. you should have gave a complaint. their job is to serve you as a customer, not to poke jokes at you. i hope they got fired for that.

as for trayvon martin, what happened to him was a tragedy. dude was simply walking the street minding his business and he gets gunned down because the guy that shot him was ignorant. he assumed that because he saw a black man in a hoodie that he was going to commit crime. he had his mind made up about trayvon. didn't approach him or whatever. just assumed he was a criminal and treated him like one. if trayvon was white, he would have been left alone. it's clear that george zimmerman's ignorance was what led to what happened. besides, it was raining outside so trayvon having a hoodie on would make sense. wouldn't it?

and it's not like i went around the gym with the hood over my head looking like a wrestler. :LOL: i walked into the gym with a hoodie because it was cold outside.
 
I have learnt dat if you tell the dog not to pee in the house he wont... but he may take a dump... :mad:
 
I had a guy contact me on Scruff (a gay smartphone app for guys who like "scruffier" types - bears, beards, body hair etc.) who told me in quite detailed language how he wanted to masturbate while I blew up a balloon until it popped. I'd never heard of that fetish so after a few minutes of being bewildered I googled it. Apparently it's not entirely uncommon and folks that get off on balloony funtimes are referred to as looners. Fascinating.

^ looners? Sounds like lunatics. How appropriate! :LOL:

Wiki does not specify, apart from poppers and non-poppers, whether you have to blow with your mouth, or fart, or whatever...
 
Yesterday (I forgot to post) I learned that Philippe de Courcillon, marquis de Dangeau, was the type who inspired La Bruyère's Pamphile, and les Caractères being one of my very favorite books for almost twenty years already, it was about time that I learned it...

Today, oh happy day, I have learnt to appreciate Milton, at least his Paradise Lost, so I went and bought the apparently only readily available copy for sale in the whole metro area of Barcelona of that Pullman edition.
Not that I had totally ignored PL... I remember that quote at the beginning of Mary W.S's Frankie but, despite having realized for some time already that my B-chest of books (of course I did not acquire it to be set along my beloved authors) was wanting English language books (just a selection of Keats and, only from a few days ago, Gatsby), I did not make the move until I read the quotes commented by Keats, that I am throwing away as I read or study from the complete edition that was substituted by the one mentioned above.
 
That Shakespeare's Sonnet 30 is the source for the title, "Remembrance of Things Past", by which readers of the English translation of "A la recherche du temps perdu" knew the work, now commonly translated as "In Search of Lost Time".

That the Salinas is a part time river, from John Steinbeck's "East of Eden". Steinbeck is my favorite American writer.
