Remain strong friend, one day the joy will be upon your people long time separated by ideology over human beings!

God bless you.

I loved the expressions on the border guards when the people were finally let through. They all realized that their authority, their uniforms and their jobs had become REDUNDANT. I hope they are all still unemployed. Ein Deutchland!

It's so hip to deride Americans because we're so rich that even our foolish masses get regular media exposure.

Focus on something productive, otherwise you're about as intellectually productive as an Alabama redneck. No offense to Alabama rednecks, you guys are at least on par with most Europeans, except for Germany, they're badasses.

thats funny since the concept of the euro is communist

[BenTennison16]

raw communism as a theory is a really nice idea. I mean come on! world where everyone is equal? that would be amazing indeed. too bad in reality it is completely impossible to achieve given humans` nature. in communism , some are more equal than others. see north korea

communism and ultra nationalism (nazis) were the 2 worst things that could ever happen to europe in the last century. Thank God its 2013 and europe is over this stupid nonsense. now let us sort out the Euro currency so we can prosper again.
