Well, yeah "Volkstrauertag" exists and is tied to advent (the sunday 2 weeks from the first sunday in advent) - but it is not in any way shape or form a major event, plus of course atleast in terms of public displays of remembrance it is dwarfed by other days, also I guess because remembering...

the only thing 11/11 is thought of around these parts is the beginning of carnival season :mischief:

how do those sixty billion affect Germany more than anyone else in the EU? Given the monetary flows within the EU Germany will actually benefit less from that than lets say the southern and south eastern EU countries. Now obviously freeing some Greek governmental money to spend on imports from...

I now informed everyone and am publishing the thread as is.

EU government heads agreed on a new personell roster - and frankly it seems to be build on how to alienate as many voters as possible and ensure further EU sceptic party successes going forward. Yeah getting the IMF head into the ECB is so going to endear the Euro to everyone and getting our...
