The vote in the netherlands failed, btw. Look forward to a lively discussion if parliament decides the people don't know what's good for them and fixes their 'incorrect' decision.

because i deal with art and high end audio equipment i can say the people pay more since the euro has arrived.

its just the case that in germany the most prices are today the same in euro like they was in deutsche mark in 1999.

so for me as businessman, i like the euro a lot, it makes the people pay the double price for the same things.

and when you have good sources you can buy a bratwurst for the same price they has cost in 1999.

i support our local german eu professionals also because its our alternative plan to take world leadership in 2045 after a global eu
military initiative ;]

dont get me wrong, its just a great time to be alive.

sorry for my bad english, i raised in east germany , we had only russian there in school.

So much for all the worries that the EU will turn into some kind of superstate with one language, one currency and a powerful military with tendency to interfere in other countries like........... well never mind.

No the Dutch and French votes prove that Europe is like it always was. Just a bunch of disparate countries each with their own separate agenda and nationalistic tendencies. As I read it, part of the reason for the no vote in France was that they were afraid the EU was heading down the road of Anglo American style economics. The kind of economics that makes America so successful and the kind of economics that made my country one of the richest in Europe after years of being a second rate supplier of immigrants to the US and Britain. The kind of economics that the newly joined Eastern Europeans are copying having seen how well it worked in Ireland. Which means one day all old left leaning social welfare countries like France and Germany and it seems Holland will be in decline and be supported by the newly affluent Poland, Hungary etc etc.

I'm neither in favour or against the European constitution. In time we may get to vote on it. Then I'll decide. But if a no vote means the tired old socialist systems of Germany and France will get the upper hand in Europe then I want this constitution.
Both France and Germany have high unemployment and high taxes. We have no unemployment and low taxes. Which would you prefer?

Sholtzie, Dublin is considered to be one of the best places to be in Yurop (Seen in polls posted here by Sandman a while ago, and I've seen other references pointing to this). I've only been there a couple of times myself, and I failed to see why... but maybe that's why I'm not a tour guide. (Maybe I visited the wrong spots as well).
