How is that socialism working out for Europe?
0bama is trying to change the US to be like the European socialist countries, while they are all going bankrupt due to socialist entitlements. Greece is going under, with Spain, Germany , Ireland, France following closely behind. Can't the liberals see that the excessive union and government benefits are not sustainable? Someone out there actually has to make the money to pay all of those benefits.

No, the liberals cannot see anything, they drink too much Kool Aid.
3 :
Anarchists are busy trying to morph it into Marxism.
4 :
Actually the estimated pecking order is Greek Spain Portugal Ireland. Germany is doing quite well actually, but its neighbours are dragging it down...
5 :
If you haven't noticed, AMERICA WENT UNDER A YEAR AGO before Obama's so called socialist agenda kicked in.
6 :
They should just do like the U.S. and borrow money like it's going out of style! Forget billions, that's chump change. The U.S. is headed for 13 tril, baby! Yeah! Now THAT'S real debt. Hawr hawr hawr (like Tim the Toolman)

It's unfortuante that we are bordered by a huge third world country
8 :
Left WIng politics is far superior, it provides the poor with a good education, healthcare and a fair future, the right wing politics of america makes me sick, the very fact that your so ignorant you think all the European countries are socialist sickens me, Europe is miles ahead than the USA's political system, conservation governments are pointless, stale and only want to help the rich.
9 :
Greece's trouble hasn't been caused by socialism. The rest of Europe is struggling to cope with helping Greece - again, nothing to do with socialism.
10 :
ahh yes you are doing so well yourselves these days... we're jealous.... that'll be it. kiss kiss What has never ceased to amaze me is that a country that claims to be soooooo christian and right and good - can't even help their own after a natural disaster.. f3ck em right???? not my problem is it???
11 :
Oh, you can count on me on these FACTS: 1. European countries will never go bankrupt 2. European countries are not socialist(at least most of them are not) 3. Greece is going to rise again, now when EU countries had an agreement(finally) 4. USA should follow European countries lead, just look at the human development index ranking or healthcare ranking, USA is quite far behind
12 :
The stock market went down more than 300 points today because of the economic problems in Greece. At one point it was down almost 800 points. I call it the Carrefour Curse. Just watch and see. The European nations that go broke will be the ones that have Carrefour stores. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrefour
13 :
Well. Spain is not a socialist country. Actually none of the countries you mentioned are socialist. Do you really know what socialism is? We have stock markets and all........... that would not happen in a socialist economy.
14 :
European countries are not socialist. Indeed countries such as Germany and France have centre-right governments at the moment. Your right however that the countries around the med (such as Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy) have been living beyond there means since the Global recession. This is because the recession meant the governments got much less money in taxes because their economies shrank. However, the reason there are protests in Greece is because the people there feel it is deeply unfair they have to loose there jobs and services because of a recession which started in the huge banks of the USA. Nevertheless, Greece has been fiscally irresponsible. I think also it is important to mention that northern European countries, such as France, Germany, Denmark, Holland, Sweden and Finland etc also have high government benefits but are not at risk of bankruptcy. And it is these countries which will have to bail out Greece, along with the IMF. So really I don't think the situation has much do with 'socialism' but is to do with poor government.

Spending a few months in Germany?
Spending a few months in Germany?
I want to spend a few months in Germany eventually. I was wondering what I would need to make sure I have everything in order. What can I do about securing a job (a temporary position)? How much money should I have saved up at least? What areas of Germany have a good night life? Are there any things that I MUST know? I just want to gather as much information as possibly so that I can plan accordingly.

If you're an EU citizen then you can go freely and work freely in any EU country including Germany. If you're not an EU citizen then you must obtain a work permit from Germany. In order to get the work permit, a German employer must offer you a position and assist you with the application to the German Immigration Department. After you have received approval (several weeks or months later), then you can go to Germany and live there. Alternatively, you can go as a tourist for up to 3 months.
2 :
If you are an EU citizen you will still need to speak German to get any decent job. If you are no EU citizen you can apply for a work visa but chances to get one are close to zero since every employer who hires you needs to provide proof no German or EU citizen was available to do the job which is close to impossible to happen for any kind of temporary work. Unlike the US in Germany has no sponsorship visa either you find a job and apply for it or you get hired by a company both is possible what you need to apply for a work visa is a job lined up otherwise the risk is high you will not get the visa.
3 :
If your a US citizen its far more likely you can work on a US base. If you have someone to get you in. Or find a non-approprated funds job on base. Waitress in the clubs, bowling alley or commissary. Check around for bases. There are hundreds of them.

Why do libtard movie directors always make movies bashing Germans for the Holocaust but never reveal the?
Why do libtard movie directors always make movies bashing Germans for the Holocaust but never reveal the?
horrors of the communist gulags in the USSR? They gush over stalin, just like they mindlessly follow Obama while they bash bush using no logic and resorting to drugged up diatribes against patriotism and insult the military. Is it just for money, or are they just shameless? The USSR slaughtered and enslaved millions of its own people and Germans, but they are glorified as heroes. Soviets raped German women and pillaged beautiful Baroque art of Germany.

Well I will just put it like this, look at how many in the film industry support communist/socialist ideas. Yep if you can't see the hypocrisy in hollywood you need to lay off the kool aid.

I'm sorry but I must be from an alternative Universe. What movies have there been from Hollywood that "gushed" over Stalin? There have been many movies to the contrary. I have never heard of a USA made movie glorifying the communists gulags. BTW, the movies didn't bash the German people, but went after the Nazis. Your comments about President Obama and those that supported him are way out of line.

How does this suspicious Ebay scam (I think) work?
How does this suspicious Ebay scam (I think) work?
I just saw an Ebay item was too good to be true. It was for a new electric generator worth at least $2,000. It had about 10 hours to close. The starting bid was about 25 GBP ($42 US dollars). No bids yet. Item location was in Illinois but seller was in Germany. Almost all of the seller's feedbacks were in German and 100% positive. Free shipping but must contact seller via email prior to bidding. How does this work and still the seller make money?

The bid price has not reached the minimum yet. Check to see if the reserve has been met. If not, then they are not really selling it for that.
2 :
i don't know
3 :
It's probably legitimate, but is the cost in US dollars? as for free shipping, just check past purchases from other buyers. Duty on imported goods is not shipping and handling. you pay that and it is usually expensive!GL
4 :
I wouldn't do it. If it sounds too good to be true ..guess what .. IT PROBABLY IS
5 :
Should have posted the item# and we could have looked
6 :
Good Deal...you should buy it...
7 :
email the seller with that question.
8 :
A must read for craigslist/ebay Buyers/sellers!!! http://pirsquare.letzebuerg.org/scams.html
9 :
I wouldn't say it was a scam - it could have been. But the auction did have 10hrs to close and the price can go up a ton in that amount of time. You don't know what this person does for a living - for all you know they could own a generator plant in Germany and distribute from Illinois.
10 :
Thats doesnt sound like a scam...thats how ebay works. its possible the bidding could get up to $2000, but the seller decided to start the bidding at $42US. If there is NO RESERVE, and no one else outbids you, then you could quite possibly and rightfully win the guitar for that amount. Just make sure you read all of the fine print very carefully BEFORE you bid. Happy Bidding.
11 :
Maybe they bought it for themselves and decided not to keep it, or they might work for a company that designs or distributes them (I do), and can occasionally get them free. Or maybe it is a scam, you have to be careful!
12 :
he probably has you transfer the money using western union instead of using check or money order and once you do that theres no way you get the money back and yeah, you don't get anything. But maybe it wasn't a scam maybe he was selling the item for someone in Illinois and the member was located in Germany, but I don't understand why anyone would do that?
13 :
Just do what the seller tells you to: e-mail him/her and work it out from there. Remember that 'too good to be true' usually means exactly that
14 :
maybe he has a shill waiting in the wings to bid up to a certain dollar amount. Maybe the item is not what you think it is.
15 :
Send me $42 and I will give you a full report.

Once in awhile, you can get great bargains on ebay. And it's a great place to find things you're looking for. On the other hand, remember the old rule "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". If there's a scam involved, you'd probably figure it out in the required email exchange before shipment.
17 :
you have to watch EBay i got scam from them it was a Xbox for my son. It was going for 50$ so i thought that is a good deal . but the person that was selling it did not say it was links to on how to get it free this was back in May and i have not still seen the 50$ from them back
18 :
I can't comment on this one individual seller. The only way to check is through feedback, but even that could be bogus. Just be wary.... As to being "too good to be true", I bought a brand-new double oven for $1 last month; an almost new $2500 fridge for $45 last week. Picked up both of them... No problems. Sometimes you actually can get a great deal on e-bay.
19 :
I think it's the real thing.. If you like it, then buy it.. if it's fraud, you can report it here,m and get your money back... http://www.ic3.gov/ or, just aks your bank to reverse charges..
20 :
wow... that is a good deal. check the shipping and handling. that should bring you back to earth.
21 :
I wouldn't touch that deal with a ten foot pole. This is way too good to be true and the email before bid sounds like to me they are going to rip you off. I saw a case like this on tv a while back, they get the money but the item doesn't exist.

If you do not check a company before entering into a transaction, you could lose your money, time and credibility.
