Yes, Europe is not superior in every way. I just think that while all banks, even French and German ones, were getting away with murder, it was UK and US govts who were really asleep or involved. France and Germany has had bailouts, but not

This seems to have fallen a looong way from front page then immediately? How? It's useful stuff to me. If taken as accurate, it tells me that I am not ready for a girlfriend, if it means I can't ogle other girls. Useful to know that.

I knew all this. Stocks are bound to be crap, they depend on making a profit from selling goods and services. There are only two types of people left in unequal economies. Those who can't afford the stuff and those who don't need to buy any
