I just wanted to hint you, that one of your facts isn't correct. At the end of the XIX century, Switzerland was richer than today, compared to the other Eurpeans. Might have something to do with the fact, that Switzerland spearheaded industrialization, had a participatory democracy, a...

Yeah, private schools are for those who suck but their parents don't want to confess it. That's why you can't use those, because the level of their education is so low.

Well, I've been to Auschwitz. And a lot of the original buildings have surivived, as the Russians did make an unexpected move and turned up in the region sooner as expected, and the camp-crew hadn't time enough to diligently destroy all buildings, so some where left intact.

Marla, You should look more into PPP. The problem is, that exchange rates are "messed up". They also take into account financial transactions. You should focus on the PPP GPD more. It shows you more about what is going on than the GPD figures according to the current exchange rates. What PPP...

The problem with the whole thing is, that the economies involved in the currency-agreements are in quite different and in different cycles. The Euro has developed quite well for some countries at the expense of others, mainly Germany and France. The Central Bank can't put the interest rates at a...

Down the drain. Down the drain. Down the drain. Not that it once was perfect. But it lost much. Many good people left. With them, their stimulating ideas and views. It's no good anymore, quite boring and dull. That is the general gaming topics are still good, but off-topic has died and faded...

What resurretion?

Well, if you would care to read my intitial post, where I came up with this, you would see, that I was giving "rules". The first thing you did was "ignoring" the given rules and take any given bridge, which obviously made me say, what are you talking about ? While you can cross every given...

:crazyeye: Infinite/infinite=1 ?????? Would that be true ? Yet, anyway, the bridge is uncrossable. So my logic was true.

My math education was brilliant, so was my math teacher..... my grades weren't... but 2 out of 3 ain't bad. (I won't tell them, but yes, they were dangerous) Still. That bridge in not crossable. I tried it. In a game. You have one turn. In the first turn, you make 1/2 of the bridge. The...

Ah..... uhm.... no. "But you know that they can". No, that is not true. I know they can't. Use the given restrictions (every step is half the next time) and show me how A can ever cross that bridge. I'd be interested to see that. 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + 1/32......... (eternal) -> What's the...

I don't believe you, the people who posted proofs, instead, I believe my math tacher and the mathematical education I got. Disprove my bridge example, please. It's crossing a bridge. A wants to cross a bridge. His first step brings in the middle. 1/2. No, all his steps are reduced by half...

No. That sum can never be 1. It is an endless series that never ever until the end of days reaches 1. Never ever. Or otherwise put, infinite = definite is false. .

That's an interesting question. I say cheating on taxes is ok. Similarly, it is ok to say to a policeman who just has caught you with a pack of cocaine to **** off and get a job. Wonder why have to pay for ridiculous people, executing ridiculous laws put in place by even more ridiculous people...

I could be wrong.... but I am not. Until now I've heard nothing new nor something that would change my mind. My inital statement spawning this whole thing was: And I still think it's that way. While the Grundgesetz has forseen a federal system, the federal law-giver has with the consent of...

Cough, cough, .... noooo.

The defintion is right, it's you who don't fit. Are you the holy ghost of pedancy ? Republic of Ireland then. Then we could approach an agreement, if the way would still be long. I think the development was straight more direction unitarian state and the Länder have given up more and...

I don't post drunk when I am sober.

It is usually judged that way in texts concerning the state system by papers, a example for that was the quote. Many people also think that Northern Ireland is part of Ireland as many thing Germany is actually federalistic. Well, yes, as I said, they created federal law taking away the...

Yeah, but your response was to a newspaper article, stating it as it is. Which contains the usal affirmation, that the federalism in Germany isn't federalism. But anyway, a big part of the Germans would say their federalistic. Yet they aren't. And on a side-note, most of this bunch of foreigner...
