Ya'll should just sit back and take a look at all of what has been written by each of you and will notice one thing that has been a big problem for all of the world for centuries, lack of willingness to sit back and listen to the other man and understand what he is trying to say and invoke your own jealousies and bad experiences of the past towards your opinions with out realising it. This is known recently as "failure to communicate" and ends up being " a cluster ----" or "snafu".
Nationality or "patriotism" has kept this world at odds against each other and until the human races realises this then there will be no true "utopia" where we all get along together and "respect" the views of others and the reasons they see differently than you do with out having to go to war to stress your point, which the common man has no choice but to follow the laws of his leaders or be considered a traitor in his own home land.
This medium has allowed us to talk to each other and try to understand each other in a different way than man has ever to do in many centuries. And has allowed each of us to meet others we would not have had the oppurtunity to do at any other time in human history. Unfortunaely we are still under the iron of our worldly leaders whom determine the direction each of us must follow.
Just some rambling of many years of service to a nation that has allowed my family to be free oppression and grow because my forefathers were allowed to become members of a republic with very different ideals compared to the rest of the world, it is this diversity that has allowed her to be what she is today, but has been forced by treachery of other nations into a position she has never wanted but with her inexperience of world affairs is trying her best to fight against mans inhumanity to man.
Oh great day forgot to add: With all this in mind until each of the European nations forget about the past who they were and what they were and and what was a part of of what, then I see no way that the EU will ever develop a working constitutional government. The leaders of these countries need to forget about the big dog, little dog mentallity and look at each other as equals in a common endeavor or otherwise it will never succeed or ever happen.
