Hummm, this will come as a surprise to those "failed socialist
countrys", all of whom think they're doing quite well. (You might try
actually visiting Europe some time before attempting to lecture about
it.)

Funny, the people in Germany and The Netherlands are driving every
single day. I wonder how they can do that if "nobody can afford to
drive"?

(Q: Do you ever proof-read the stuff you write, then look at it and
say "Whoops! That can't *possibly* be right!"? Apparently not.)

Yeah, just like it did with $3.00 gasoline.

I know, I know, I should be used to it by now, but the level of
geographic ignorance of some people in a certain country still never
fails to amaze me. With what they don't know you could easily fail
another half dozen students.

Only a rightard would claim that European countries are "failed". But
then anybody who thinks that workers should earn less in order to make
rich people even richer cannot be all that smart.
