Its a forum where opinions are expressed. After having lived in Europe for years, and holding my ear to the railtrack, I can assure you that a critical examination is not the same as either disdain or vitriol.

There is a growing sense of unease about the Anti Roma policies taking place - everywhere, and when fellow posters (from Europe or elsewhere) point to single issue articles as backing up a one line "analysis" typed on their Toshiba or Sony computer about the rise of Asia, it does nothing more than reinforce my views.

It would be nice just to "talk up" whatever you hold dear, to increase its prominence or ostensible value - like realtors often do. But that would be dishonest. Most of us here want an honest debate.

What will happen when Europe's populations are in decline? Probably nothing - because Europe has already become the worlds greatest retirement village.

What do the European economies actually provide the world, except

Weapons

Design

Tourism

What do they actually make these days that Japan (or Korea for that matter) does not?

Thats not vitriol, thats just reality. Be cool.
