Howcome many European nations don't have laundromats?
I recall this being true in Italy and I think much of Germany and Austria don't have self-service laundromats. You have to pay someone to do your laundry and 20 years ago it was an arm and a leg. I think I paid 15 dollars for one basket full of clothes. I would think some enterprising businessman could make money just off of the tourists and students who want a laundromat.

Why do Governments "Borrow" money from Banks at interest to pay for Wars?
Why do Governments "Borrow" money from Banks at interest to pay for Wars?
The UK Independent of 9 Nov 2009, carried an article entitled Remembrance: 'At least we knew what we were fighting for in 1944', and invited comment. 'At least we knew what we were fighting for in 1944'. Did we really know?? Only a very few knew what was being fought for and why. It was not for "Freedom and Democracy". Wars are deliberately brought about by rich and powerful people, for the sole purpose of their becoming more rich and more powerful. It is for the same people, and for the same reason, that present wars are being fought. It is those same rich and powerful people who send our young men and women to die. And it is all for the profit of those same rich and powerful people. It was the same in 1939. Nothing has changed. The rich and powerful people don't fight, but they send our red-blooded youth as cannon fodder, to die for their gain, and their gain alone. And where do our governments get the money to finance these wars of aggression? They borrow it from the banks, of course. And just exactly where do these banks [which are owned by those rich and powerful people] get the money to loan to our governments, by which loans they put our governments, meaning us ordinary citizens, in their debt?? All while charging usurious rates of interest on their loans to our government? Precisely. meaning precisely, where does the money come from?? It is created out of thin air, at the very moment it is accepted by our government as a loan. Quotations below verify this statement. Those same rich and powerful people control the media in all its forms, so that you and I are not told the truth, but are told what they want us to think, which they, themselves have boldly stated at times. WW2, started by us in 1939, was brought about by those same rich and powerful people, because they were not able compete with Germany in the business of manufacturing and world trade. They realized that they would shortly lose both power and money, because Germany was outclassing them in quality and production in the world markets. The love of money is the root of all evil. - The Bible "The very idea of a government that can create money for itself, allowing banks to create money that the government then borrows, and pays interest on, is so preposterous that it staggers the imagination." - William Hixson, Canadian Economist "Once a nation parts with the control of its credit and money, it matters not who makes the nation's laws. Usury, once in control, will wreck any nation. Until the control of the issuance of currency and credit is restored to government, and recognized as its most conspicuous and sacred responsibility, all talk of sovereignty, of parliament, and of democracy, is idle and futile." - William Lyon Mackenzie King, Prime Minister of Canada "I care not what puppet is placed on the throne of England, to rule the Empire. The man that controls Britain's money supply controls the British Empire. And I control the money supply. " - Baron Nathan Mayer Rothschild London financier, Rothschild bank "The study of money, above all other fields in economics, is one in which complexity is used to disguise truth or to evade truth, not to reveal it. The process by which banks create money is so simple the mind is repelled. With something so important, a deeper mystery seems only decent." - John Kenneth Galbraith Canadian economist, Harvard professor. "The issue which has swept down the centuries and which will have to be fought sooner or later is the people versus the banks." - John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton, First Baron Acton of Aldenham "When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain." - Napoleon Bonaparte, French emperor "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning." - Henry Ford, Founder of Ford Motor Company So, can someone please tell me WHY do we continue with this OBVIOUS con?

These same people you talk about, rule us, teach us, bribe us, and enslave us. I think we are taught from an early age to "love" the government. This is why it is so hard for most people to accept the truth of your post. It is a hard truth and an ugly truth. Most people would rather live in the continued fantasy of: Freedom, TV, and technology. Speaking of the hard, ugly truth. We are slaves to these rulers. We are given the illusion of freedom, not because our rulers want us to be free, but because slaves who think they are free produce more than slaves who know they are not. It is very hard to approach our fellow slaves with these truths, because its not that our masters would beat us if we spoke them, but our fellow slaves will attack us trying to deny them.

My bf is studying abroad in Germany for 1 year, he wants me to come with?
I have a job, don't make that much money, I'm in school too, part time. He is a mechanical engineering student and is going to be studying abroad in Lubeck Germany for 1 year to get his masters. We've been dating for 3 yrs, 9 months and he wants me to go with him, drop everything here and come along. Do you think this is selfish for him to ask me to do this? I won't be able to work or go to school while im there cuz im a foreigner and don't know german. Any ideas, should i go or no. I'm pretty sure we are going to get married, he said he wants to propose while we are there. I'm 24, he is 25

So long as there will be enough money for you both to live on while you're there, it's a great opportunity to live in a foreign country for a year. As far as the language goes, if you work hard at it, you can have a good baseline by the time you leave, and if you surround yourself with German all the time, you'll probably be close to fluent by Christmas (if you go there in September). Plus, something like 80% of Germans know at least rudimentary English... so you'll be able to communicate. (Whether you will be able to work or not, who knows... that's all about immigration laws. However, you should be able to go to school... there are a good number of English programs in Germany... or you can always take classes via correspondence or over the Internet!)

Has anyone heard the harping about the US not giving enough foreign aid money and Iran giving more the the US?
Has anyone heard the harping about the US not giving enough foreign aid money and Iran giving more the the US?
US levels for foreign aid fall short of this goal (the US currently ranks last among the world's wealthiest countries at about 0.1 percent of GNP.) However, in absolute amounts, the United States is currently the world's top donor of economic aid, providing $16.254 billion in 2003 according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. In 2001, the United States gave $10.9 billion, Japan $9.7 billion, Germany $4.9 billion, the United Kingdom $4.7 billion, and France $4.3 billion. As a percentage of GNP, however, the top donors were Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Sweden. The Netherlands (pop. 16.3 million) gave $3.2 billion in 2001 — almost a third of what America contributed. We are funding a war against terror, forgive us world for coming in a little shy with the give away money. We are trying to make the world safe, democratic and free. Kudos to all those countries who were generous to give so much, the world needs you.

we are not fighting a war on terror. terrorism is a tactic, not an enemy. bush is currently using terrorism by routinely dropping bombs on civilians and authorizing the torture of innocents. bush is not a president, he is a criminal, a gangster. he is draining our treasury and destroying our reputation. Almost all the money we give, anyway, is tied to our foreign policy goals. We have wasted a billion a week on bush's war based on lies. We certainly had the money to give ourselves a decent health care system and help the world. Instead, bush is using our treasury to sow terror around the world and keep all his buddies in the big money.

In terms of the war on terror, the USA is working hard but not smart. America's foreign policy(which costs almost nothing) makes America the primary target for terrorists check the the link from which I am quoting: "More important, saying that Israel and the US are united by a shared terrorist threat has the causal relationship backwards: the US has a terrorism problem in good part because it is so closely allied with Israel, not the other way around. Support for Israel is not the only source of anti-American terrorism, but it is an important one, and it makes winning the war on terror more difficult. There is no question that many al-Qaida leaders, including Osama bin Laden, are motivated by Israel’s presence in Jerusalem and the plight of the Palestinians. Unconditional support for Israel makes it easier for extremists to rally popular support and to attract recruits." http://www.lrb.co.uk/v28/n06/mear01_.html

Wouldnt it be a shame that the US would actually spend money where we could really use it, at home?

Unconditional support for Israel makes it easier for extremists to rally popular support and to attract recruits." http://www.lrb.co.uk/v28/n06/mear01_.html

Wouldnt it be a shame that the US would actually spend money where we could really use it, at home? When is this country going to wake up and spend money on its cities, health care, needy and to create jobs? U2's Bono allways lambasting the US and UK for not giving more money to other countries. Thats all well and good, but what about our own country? Look around Bono and people like you, we need to take care of ourselves and stop giving it all away!! You obvously dont know this country very well.

You know I get so tired of statistics you can prove or disprove any point,people make up their on and no one cares or notices.I for one am very proud of this country's humanitarian efforts around the world,and I wonder why other country's take so much pleasure in discounting what we do.We are the first name they call when in need ,but who helps this country.We are the most maligned and least respected,then leave us alone,don't take our money and then spit in our face.I am very proud and fortunate to be an American.I am proud of the American people as a whole, I am not proud of the people that live here ,feed off the government,squander its resources,disrespect its flags, then bad mouth the USA. Say anything you want about GWB,say anything you desire about liberals,conservatives,etc,if you don't like it then vote for change but do not talk badly about this country that I hold so dear.. .stepping off my soap box.......

You should have 4. Most german households have 1 children each. If you have 4, you have more chances of ruling Germany. If these 4 have offspring, you can hire them to be your cabinet members.

Being stationed in Bamberg Germany..?
Being stationed in Bamberg Germany..?
My husband is being stationed in Bamberg and is set for deployment for Oct. 09 we will get there at the end of August 09. We have a 1 year old son as well. I work full time and planned on going back to school this month but than was told we are being pcs'd to germany so i decided to wait.. (again) well my question is.. is it worth it to move for 6 weeks across the world? i am in DC now and give up my gov job and my husbands family? my family lives in texas and the fam i have here well dont really have any. i make really good money just about the same as my husband and I dont know how giving up my income and downsizing a couple thousand $$ is going to take on my family. but my husband really wants us to move with him and than just come back after he deploys, but how would that work and also BAH here in DC is great in germany its about 500 less and i would be giving up my income. Also i have my own apartment but i only stay there for 8 days out of the month since my inlaws keep my son during the day i have found it easier to stay anight there during the week days, and my husband wants me to give that up if i stay in the states but he doesnt pay any of the bills. All of his income is being put into a savings for our new home and its furnishings. but yes so i pay rent car note phones everything on my income and still do okay so i was just hoping that someone would see my side and if not give me some good advice that would help me.. i really dont know what to do.. the thought of moving to another country excites me but to be there for 12 months without my husband scares me. and about Bamberg.. has anyone been there as a wife of a deployed solider and stayed throughtout the deployment, instead of coming home? sorry for the run on.. but clearly yall can see im lost.. thanks for the help in advance Also I am in the national guard and have the option to go back active. Can anyone give me a listing for housing there if i chose to go back active. Okay so i know the economy is bad but jeez women, its not that bad where we wouldnt be able to afford to make the move on our own, i might not have been totally honest about the money thing.. when i said we make about the same well not really we both make several thousand a month but i kinda make a bit more than he does. so money isnt the problem i guess i was just looking for reason not to move, i mean he does deploy in Oct but after long hard thoughts and talking it over with him. i am going to move there with him and stay for his total tour there. i will just fly in family every few months and visit the states once a month if even that. Thanks for the advice but not very helpful.

Honestly, it does not sound worth it to move. While it would be nice to be together there is just SO much you would be losing.

Just a question......who is paying for you to move back 6 weeks later??????? The Military sure isn't that's for sure! But if you don't move your belongings when he PCSs, then the military won't pay for it later either. I see both sides of this. You have a great support system. Which is awesome. Allot of people don't have that. You are comfortable where you live now. You are making good money. You want to complete your schooling. He is not going to leave Germany as soon as he gets back from deployment. So how are you going to pay to move there? Then you also have to worry about getting command sponsorship over a year after he has been there. You would most likely have to take that money out of your housing fund. Are you 2 prepared to do that? Are you prepared to possibly stay in the states for his whole term in Germany? Have you checked into online college courses? Yup this is a hard one, but the 2 of you are going to have to make this decision. You need to decide what is best for the whole family and not just one of the people involved. I have been stationed in Germany & lived in Germany as a child. It's awesome, maybe one of the best OCONUS assignments you can get.You will find work, and have on post daycare for your child.

-Why only 6 weeks. So you would come back if he were to deploy? Or why would you not stay in Germany and do some traveling? My girls and I saw 15 other countries while we were stationed in Germany. And my husband deployed 2 times from Germany, which is when we did most of our traveling. We never came home except for one funeral. -Once he PCS's to germany you will lose the BAH rate for DC anyways, it will go to Germany. And if you don't go over, you will not get the COLA rate which will more than make up for the BAH you will lose. And if you decide to move back from Germany you will lose COLA. And the military will not pay for you to move back if the move is on your own. -If you are really worried about it all, Stay put then. Then move there after the deployment if they will even let you by then. But then remember that if you decide not to go then, he will still be there at least 3 years. If you need any certain answers on Germany let me know, we spent almost 4 years there and would go back tomorrow if we could. Good luck
