The minor economies in the EU are struggling and because of it, you stipulated that the entire system was failing. You can try and baffle everyone with bullshit, but the truth is, that IS what you were saying. It's not a defensible stance and a failure in this debate. Stick by it, but you are wrong. If you said that "some of the countries in the EU go too far and hence fail," that I would agree with, but you didn't even come close to that.
Stipulated?? Dude, you don't know what the big words you use even mean. I think you meant "extrapolated". And wtf is minor about spain, italy, france, the netherlands, and Denmark? That is a big portion of the EU GNP. The only western Europe economy doing well is Germany; that is it, and they are doing well cause they are industrious/hard working and run govt surpluses, not huge deficits. Ive already explained why most of the Baltic and Balkan countries are doing reasonably well. I could inundate you with information about the perilous situation both WE and the EU find ourselves in, but you wont educate yourself cause you don't want to hear it. You want your education paid for and your healthcare too, as well as every do nothing fuckstick from coast to coast, and have little concern for the fundamental reasons why we aren't competitive in the global markets we unleashed on ourselves and Europe 30 years ago. That is why we are sinking in our own stink. Stick by your ignorance, it suits you well.
