Germany... Why is it the EU powerhouse?

[cottonpicken]

Ahhhh.who the **** holds the sovereign debts of
other countries and is leveraged at 25 to 1,which
means a 4% right down means....dead.

I won't ask for your opinion on canada,and its big five
because you and no one else has a clue.

I could ask the question-why where the banks bailed
out?-and the answers would range from
mmmmm...to rich guys....to because ummm they
couldn't pay their employees.

I could ask another question and ask-does it effect
you?,i won't bother with responses but if i said your
family now owes another 100g on top of your own
stuff,the response would be -no it aint,you don't
know nuttin nigga,no no no no.

The responses are based on low level low income
medians to high level high educated types.

Think back to your graduation class...some of those
people are the ones running the show.

Regionally,thank god we are here,but all off western
canada is like the annoying good looking,hard
working rich kid cousin of eastern canada,who by
birth right deserves the fruits of our labours and
everyone should bow to flag and its "all canadians
together".

God help me i'd love to see the look on mansbridges
face and the party ddddddd k bec wa face when
western canadians held their own **** off referendum
.

Alas,everyone feels some sort of a kin ship to the
syrup suckers who hate them and beg them to stay.

And when it comes to that video,don't let the fact that
china and india have multiple "pools" of labour doing
the same thing at a fraction of the price.

That video was a typical NPR snow job. A load of crap IOW. It never once mentioned where all that wonderful economy came from. We bombed the bastards back into the stone age and then the (US) Marshall Plan came in and rebuilt their economy.

I've never been to Germany. But the factorys appeared quite different than here.
Watch on youtube 'Dirty Jobs' Mike Rowe on lamb castration, PETA, and American labor'.
His lecture on the dignity of work seems to point to the German advantage?
Threads of common identity that form a culture can't be altered in a decade, or by a few govt policies.
We could start by admitting all people are not equal of ability. Trade schools after junior high. Stop transfering money between have and have not regions and let people flow instead. We might have more employees in Canada than we think. Deed aboriginal lands. Castrate all unions so they stop perpetually creating their 'need' out of blatant self interest. Rethink our mosaic with everyones right to distinct society.
Oh well, enough talking martian.

Media propaganda, crap for sure. Do I believe
any of it - not for one minute.

[Klause]

Wow....

That's all I can say to some of the
posts here.


My Dad was born in '38. He grew up in
post-war Germany.


Every citizen got 10 Deutsch Marks....
What they made of themselves was up to
them.

Germany's rebuilt itself 3 times in
recent history.

However much everyone wants to hate
Hitler, compare the pre-war German
economy to that of the UK, and the US...

German people have an inherent work
ethic... it gets past down from one
generation to the next.

You can even see it here in Canada...
all I need to do is compare the Humboldt
area to the Dauphin area.

Almost every farm / house here is
cleaned up, and tidy.... Compared to
next to none back home... Half or more
of the farms have other businesses...
there's manufacturing like Schulte, CIM,
Bourgault, Doepker, Michels, and on and
on. Dauphin.... has.... nothing.


The drive to work, to make something of
yourself, and to accumulate wealth is
just there....

Some of you need to go to the Lexion factory in Germany - Self explanitory.
Then Go to the Agco factory in Heston Kansas.

No doubt a great people,they had the brains to store
up over 3 tonnes of gold which represents over 70%
of their forex reserves so when they and everyone
else defaults and paper becomes worthless they will
be able to issue a new mark and back it with
gold,very enviable position.

Unlike canada who's einstein libereno's,and ralph
malph of regina decided to sell it all at rock bottom
prices during the 90's-like sub 300$oz price.

[parsley]

When I was in Germany, their efficiency was very
front and centre. Practicality. Cleanliness. China-
junk cannot compete with German quality, even
in everyday goods. Clothing. Knives and forks.
Cars. Canada should be importing more
manufactured German goods instead of Made in
China junk. And Canadians, wilagro, I agree,
should be manufacturing focused. And yes,
farmaholic, easy to look at. lol Pars.

Germany slaughterred thousands ****d and murdered thousands, stole and luted everything in sight and took it home in retreat while supporting Hitlers quest all across Europe. When they realized the rest of the world was going to defeat them by sacrificing their lives to do it, the tone became Oh we didnt actually like Hitler we just had to follow. F U that many people had to follow?

So then the world helped them rebuild all the while they had their stash of stolen and bloodstained fortunes.

What the other people of Europe the victoms get? Oh here go to Dauphin clear the bush and we will give you some land. Woopdy doo.


So crout van Klause before you run down the poeple of Dauphin don't think they don't know how it really went, because many of them lived it.

Why the f did you move out of that area? Why didn't you put your brilliance to work there? Lots of other factors Humboldt is a generally guaranteed crop area for one right A hole?
