There's an article here from Der Spiegel.. It's about 4 pages.. but it's very interesting reading. As it stands, the hierarchy is both faceless and insulated from influence. Also, increase the means by which national governments may retain sovereignty over their domestic affairs. The dislike comes not so much from unification, as it being perceived as solely a private commercial enterprise, rather than one that impinges upon social phenomena. |

The challenge: If you were given a brief audience with this group to address their issues.. What would you tell them to do to resolve it? I'm not sure I'd waste my breath. Their problem is that diversity you speak of. We all know this. Any time so many different views/races/cultures/parties are forced to accept each other, this is the minimum negative results. Oil and water don't mix well. Neither do people of different bents. The solution I'd try to explain to them is this " everyone go stick to your own, and let this failed experiment called 'EU' drift into history". |

The problem with the EU is that the same idiots who ran the radical left in the 70s in Europe are now in control of the EU parliament.
They honestly think they are doing the right thing no matter how much others say they're not. But when you have so many ex and "neo" Marxists, what else do you expect? |

The solution is merchandising.
http://www.spiegel.de/international/...9831-2,00.html She and her friends had announced on Facebook that they were going to hold a demonstration on March 12. Someone had come up with the idea over drinks at a bar. Sell commemorative March 12 T-shirts, coffee mugs, posters ect. |

The Crusades, 30 years war, the wars of islamic conquest..... This is lost on the irreligious. They try to pigeon hole this as general purpose "religion" It's sloppy thinking.. It's why they don't understand religion, and its importance, in the first place. |

Different beliefs.. Like Marxism and communism. Religion has nothing to offer humanity, save a way to be slaves to something that doesn't exist |

As a former believer, I disagree. You say those who no longer believe in a mythical power try to pigeon hole yet isn't that what you're doing here? Also, like it or not, religion has traditionally served as a moral bedrock in society, and often in the face of persecution for as much. Religions also tend to express such worthy sentiments as service, compassion and forgiveness. Your all-too handy negative slant on religion is so much egotism, and deliberate misinterpretation. |

And this is different from theists (put non-believers in for religion) how? Sure, the religious can be arrogant to the point of obnoxiousness. No argument. But even there, I'd suggest that they betray religion in behaving thus. My response was in answer to your illustrating conflicts driven by religion. The most colossal and destructive war the planet has ever known had no basis in religion. How to square this away with your contention of religion as arbiter of all evil things? It can be plainly seen that human beings require no 'God' to treat each other abysmally. |

the break from EU will be the currency. Norway is smart not to join EU. Germany is member of EU but want to break from useing euros to trade with Russia. this will be how it begin, to have countrys use different currency but not the euros. right now Germany is very happy to help Greece so they can get many free lunch

You say those who no longer believe in a mythical power try to pigeon hole yet isn't that what you're doing here? The reality is that conflating these is sloppy thinking.. A typical leftist mistake. BTW, leftist belief systems (communism, abortion, euthanasia) have probably killed more people than religion ever will.. Abortion alone is responsible for upward for 40 million deaths in the United States.. Religion has nothing to offer humanity, save a way to be slaves to something that doesn't exist That's incorrect too.. This nation was built on Christian Principles.. Respecting the sanctity of human life and doing unto others what you would have done unto you are concepts that are ageless, and form the foundation of any society worth preserving and emulating. Leftists have concepts like: "You are nothing but an animal, and no better than they are!" "Hey, gimmie all your stuff or I'll kill you!!" and "Hey! Let's all kill our children! And gramma!!!!" What a laugh. |
