Hmm... going to have to craft my trolls in a somewhat softer manner next go'round.  Cant have everyone blowing their load in one post.

Although I would normally jump at the opportunity to take pictures of naked Frenchmen in a pile (I never joined a frat in college, feel kinda left out), I did that whole 'military thing' years ago.

Nah Mazz, you were doing fine... A good intro with the "third world countries" remark, a good body shot with the "annex Europe" remark that got you labeled a "coward" and "chickenhawk," and a most excellent finish with the "pictures of naked Frenchmen" statement.

All in all, very well done...especially for a Volkswagen driver.

Bush started a trade war with the EU by imposing tariffs on steel the EU responded with tariff's of it's own and Bush quickly backed down.


According to the US Census Bureau, the US had a $94,262,100,00 trade deficiate with the EU in 2003.  So basically if the US or EU started a trade war, the US would lose over 94 billion dollars worth of goods a year, and that would have a sever impact on the the US stardard of living.

Thats pocket change to the US economy.  EU can consider that a lunch tip.

China ? :D

small minus and small minus and small minus is a bit bigger minus.

Actualy what about your debt ?


edit: Actualy Eu has become a bit bigger now, so you can expect big raise of that number. Since Eu company can now move to cheaper regions inside Eu, price of Eu products for export could go a bit down in next few years.
