Resolved Question: Are Italians white or Latino?? READ MY REASONS WHY THEY COULD BE LATINO BEFORE ANSWERING?

FACTSSSS -Italians are from Latin descent. -The word "latin" refer to people and Countries of Latin culture and language (Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, Romania) -Only in the United States and probably Canada does the word "latino" mean Latin American, the exact meaning of the word is simply latin, if you look for the word latino in a spanish dictionary the word latino. STUFF I THINK... -People say Italians are white because they are from Europe, BUT Spain and Portugal is there too. -Latino languages and Italian are very similar. -Italians are have dark skin, dark hair, and dark eyes. Which white people CAN be dark too, but almost every of Italians are dark. -The Mexico flag and The Italian flag are nearly identical, but i suppose that's just ironic. ALSO People think Italians are white because when italians started coming over to America they wanted to be considered white. And people i know who are going to say "cease trying to build walls in america between races", that's not what i'm trying to do. I just would like to know if I'm considered Caucasian or Latino.

Resolved Question: God and Government. How do they mix?

The bible says in the book of Romans chapter 13 that every authority on Earth is instituted by God. Anyway, I have always struggled with this chapter. Governments in history have always done grand atrocities in the name of the welfare of the common good. The Roman Empire used to conquer and steal lands of the conquered peoples and spoil their wealth, and persecute people (such as christians) whom they deemed threatening to the empire. Portugal and Spain annihilated many indigenous populations in the Americas, and the European powers instituted slavery of Blacks. The government of Southern states in the America supported segregation and Jim Crow laws. Oops I forgot, I forgot to mention Hitler. He was put in power legally and exterminated Jews in the name of the welfare of the aryan race. Anyway, is a christian simply supposed to sit idle by and wait a long time for these oppressors to die and go to hell? Or are we supposed to battle to depose such governments and institute better ones? (like for example, the American Revolution) As for corrupt governments, should we battle to bring about better government or should we just sit and pray for better days?

Resolved Question: Did we as human build off the age of Enlightenment or regress away from it while watching TV?

The Age of Enlightenment (or simply the Enlightenment) is the era in Western philosophy, intellectual, scientific and cultural life, centered upon the 18th century, in which reason was advocated as the primary source for legitimacy and authority. It is also known as the Age of Reason.[1] Developing simultaneously in France, Great Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Portugal and the American colonies, the movement culminated in the Atlantic Revolutions, especially the success of the American Revolution, which resulted in independence from the British Empire. The authors of the American Declaration of Independence, the United States Bill of Rights, the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, and the Polish–Lithuanian Constitution of May 3, 1791, were motivated by Enlightenment principles.[2] The "Enlightenment" was not a single movement or school of thought, for these philosophies were often mutually contradictory or divergent. The Enlightenment was less a set of ideas than it was a set of values. At its core was a critical questioning of traditional institutions, customs, and morals, and a strong belief in rationality and science. Thus, there was still a considerable degree of similarity between competing philosophies.[3] Some historians also include the tardy 17th century as part of the Enlightenment.[4] Modernity, by contrast, is used to refer to the period after The Enlightenment; albeit generally emphasizing social conditions rather than specific philosophies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Enlightenment The use of reason and logic to support social progress, and the exploitation of the liberating possibilities of rational and scientific knowledge. Progress was facilitated by the intellectual concept of differentiating human "oneness" into three "value spheres" of morals, science and art ("the good the true and the beautiful") so that a (reason based) scientific theory (for instance) no longer needed the approval of the (belief based) church. http://www.paradoxplace.com/Perspectives/Chronologies/Part%202%20%20World%20of%20Middle%20Ages.htm#Enlightenment Did we build off of the over age of Enlightenment -- or did things like this receive in the way ? iraq war 2003 - Shock and awe live coverage tv http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjGr5_a5yBU The age of Enlightenment was said to have occurred between 1600 and 1800 -- The American revolution the seperation of church and state the role of government and limits on powers of government -- Art philosophy architecture -- beauty art truth and discussion -- The Industrial revolution -- 2 world wars and colonisation of the globe -- The wage earner class and production outputs gross national product and international finance The space era The technological revolution -- The comupter age the micro chip the nano age The internationally know -- Rev Jerry Falwell -- and his role in politics as described by CNN http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/world/2009/08/27/amanpour.gcw.falwell.cnn.html Did we build off the enlightenment -- or regress away from it while watching TV?

Voting Question: Help, 18, and a lot of trouble with financing?

I am sick of the UK and came to live with my dad back in Portugal. Now I want to apply to study at university here which I will do but I simply cannot borrow student money here as it's too risky ( You pay it every back job or jobless ), that means students have their tuition payed by their parents which is still a good price! It is 1000 euros a year (847 pounds, 1347 dollars)! It's so much more in other countries, usually. So it's normal tuition gets payed for by parents, but my dad cannot pay for it which I understand as he has not been a proper dad; I have only been staying with him for holidays. It's been 10 years since I lived with him properly. He is earning money slowly after having a bit of a crisis with money so he cannot support me apart from make dinner and I made it clear he shouldn't have to pay for tuition. But the worst part is my mom... She will not pay for my tuition at every even though she does have a good job and earns plenty of money which could really help me ( as she has helped me financially before ). I have tried to at least talk to her rationally ( I talked to her about her just lending me money then paying her back when I can ) She still said no but it's not a surprise as she says no to a lot of things, even rational ideas like this. I have had trouble studying before because of my possess problems but living here I would feel so much more motivated and I think my mum does not look that. She only thinks I should receive a job and earn money and take care of myself but what about my future? There are also many other things I need to pay for ( I have even been wanting dental care and pay to do my driver's license, 200 plus 800 euros, a grand... ) and I am still looking for a job! My mom will not pay for any of these things because she simply does not want to, and she keeps saying '' don't worry you will find something '' and I am finding this really unfair so I was wondering if maybe any of you could give me some hints on how to approach her, make her think more about my future, any other ways I could talk to her, approaching her? Thank you very much for reading.

Resolved Question: Why doesn't C Ronaldo ever show up in big games? Is he simply not that good?

He never showed up for the biggest tournaments on earth: In both World Cups he did nothing and in the Euros he didn't really do much, especially the last Euro. He never does anything in qualifying for Portugal either and didn't do anything in the CL league against Barca and never really did much against Chelsea when he played for United. Sure he scored once in a final in 2008, but he also missed a penalty that almost lost them the game.

Resolved Question: You think some of the Knights Templars survived after the pope condemned and arrested them?

The needy Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon (Latin: Pauperes commilitones Christi Templique Solomonici), commonly known as the Knights Templar, the Order of the Temple (French: Ordre du Temple or Templiers) or simply as Templars, were among the most famous of the Western Christian military orders.[4] The organization existed for nearly two centuries during the Middle Ages. Officially endorsed by the Catholic Church around 1129, the Order became a favored charity throughout Christendom, and grew rapidly in membership and power. Templar knights, in their distinctive white mantles with a red cross, were among the most skilled fighting units of the Crusades.[5] Non-combatant members of the Order managed a big economic infrastructure throughout Christendom, innovating financial techniques that were an early form of banking,[6][7] and building fortifications across Europe and the Holy Land. The Templars' existence was tied closely to the Crusades; when the Holy Land was lost, support for the Order faded. Rumors about the Templars' secret initiation ceremony created mistrust, and King Philip IV of France, deeply in debt to the Order, took advantage of the situation. In 1307, many of the Order's members in France were arrested, tortured into giving untrue confessions, and then burned at the stake.[8] below pressure from King Philip, Pope Clement V disbanded the Order in 1312. Portugal was the only European country where Templars were not persecuted and arrested (due to the King's will). The abrupt disappearance of a major part of the European infrastructure gave rise to speculation and legends. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_Templar

Resolved Question: Why do I prefer Russia to my own country, Portugal?

I don't know why, but I always felt being Russian, since I was 4 or 5 years old. I always loved that wonderful country and when I started learning the language, it was so easy that I though it was better to talk with someone. A linguistic expert told me that I have a natural talent to learn Russian. Now, some days ago, I hear to the Russian anthem and damn, I felt something really odd, like an electric shock in my spine. After it, I felt confident, powerful and very patriotic.. But that doesn't happen when I hear to the portuguese anthem.. I simply don't feel nothing. What is happening with me? I am not schizophrenic, I know that I am not adopted because I've made some tests and I adore the Russian climate. I adore snow. It's most beautiful thing in the world. And I adore their food too and their way of living. I don't even know if it's due to the 3rd option the 3rd user gave me. I just don't know why do I feel like Russian. Maybe it's something more spiritual that modern science can't just explain? Mara Cyrus, what do you mean with that? Email me, if you are able to answer and nice enough to explain me why do I feel a "Slavic". @Dosia I already visited Russia and even with every the negative aspects, I continue loving it. It looks like that, even if its worst than Portugal in some aspects, I continue loving it.

Voting Question: I have decided that I really DO wanna move permanently to Ireland from Portugal.?

Hi there! This is my finally decision. I have made up my mind, and I do, indeed, want to move to Ireland. I wanna assist River-dance shows, interact with Irish people, breath the northern climate, attend Irish pubs and steer on the left side of the road. I'm sick of Portugal's sunny days, and it's conformism for Soccer and never ending Corporate Nepotists. I can't accept the fact, of living and developing my life, where I was born. Yet, a few doubts are stuck on my mind, when it comes to Immigration within countries outside the "Schengen Area". I'm from Portugal, a country inside EU, along side Ireland. However, Ireland, does not belong to the "Schengen Treaty", just like United Kingdom. Which means I don't have free roam between this countries (Portugal - Ireland), right? As Portuguese I have the ability to move to France, Italy, Germany without any nice of paperwork, but my Portuguese ID and Drivings License. What documents do I require to move to Ireland? How many years do I need to reside in Irish soil, in order, to apply for Irish citizenship. (I wanna renounce my Portuguese citizenship) Is it a long process. Or can I simply move to Ireland, and acquire the civilian rights, right the way? Do I need a Passport?(I've heard of British fellows in need of some nice of Passport to move to the european continent) I really need to know what documents do I need before immigrating, please inform what documents are mandatory. I don't want to be committing felony, due to lack of migration knowledge. Side Question: Once I achieve Irish citizenship, am I change my name? Any input regarding the subject of this thread, would be much appreciated. Note: I've asked a similar question to this one, but no such look, as I got lack of feedback and different answers.

Resolved Question: A question that will get a lot of people pissed, but well I cant help it?

A very dear pal of mine the other day, an American, referred to me, as an "African-Portuguese", to which I replied: "What did you just say?" lol And then I went on to further explain that in Europe we don't do that, and that subsequently I am Portuguese period, because in Europe we go by what our passport says, and it's about nationality more than it is about ethnic origin. An African descent person in either Spain, Portugal or England is just, Spanish, Portuguese or English. In Europe we don't need to wear a tag on our foreheads, we make it simple we don't do that. That is an American tag, so it nice of got me pissed at first, first that he didnt know that, and second, that he wanted to transport it onto me. Later I realized that I had to respect his possess views of the world, the ones below which he was born, understand and just explain how it works where I arrive from. "There is nothing about Africa neither on my ID card, nor on my passport, because I was born in Portugal, and lived my life there, and in every frankness I have never even been to Africa, and whereas I am just as fond of my African origins as I am of my Portuguese ones, I am simply Portuguese, and not "African-Portuguese", because that doesn't exist. That's an American thing that you Americans do. But the relax of the world doesn't. And to be quite honest, it's not that I give any importance to being Portuguese either, it just happens to be what's on both my passport and ID card! So my question to you is: Why is it that the land of the free so fixated in branding, tagging and cataloging people so much!? What if I go to the US, what will people call me within the realm of their society? Latino, because I'm from a Latin speaking country, African-American, because I'm mulatto, (even though I am obviously not American lol). Seriously, and who the F... cares, other than, again, Americans?? Haven't they, Americans, learned anything from Charlize Theron's statement? Before acquiring the American nationality as well, she was simply African, period. She was born in South Africa, so she was African, not "Euro-African" like Americans would probably call her according to their logic, given that she is white. Facts are she was just African, because that's how it works with the relax of the world: people go by what their passport says. And now the only reason why she has called herself an African-American was because in the mean time she did acquire the American nationality, which does give her a double nationality (which might have made a few red neck heads' explode I'm sure). Seriously why is it that Americans feel this need to brand themselves and the relax of this world as if we were every cows that HAVE to belong to a speciphic heard? Because mind, origins wise, some of us simply dont. look my family is so mixed by now, that originally we could just be a map of the world (its not just African and Portuguese blood that goes through my veins), and do Americans even know about this, about people like me? Or maybe they don't, because they are just too busy branding the cows. And mind, us the relax of the world do have things like History and cultural and ethnic origin diversity, and issues that arrive with it too, in buckets. It's not just the US that is a racial melting pot anymore, and it's not just the US that has had and still has racial issues to solve. However, we just don't use tags, because that would make life unnecessarily complicated, and at times also unfair. We simply dont do that to ourselves in Europe, it's already as difficult as it is sometimes why make it stupidly complicated? Tagging oneself should be the most stupid and dumbest fault a human being can commit against himself, and not to mention a really confusing one too! But if you can give me a reasonable explanation why I wont say another word about it, and even give you a best anwer if it sounds plausible the enough. Anyway, thank you. @ By famous Gilbert: I didnt want to receive many answers, dear, just the one, the right one, and I think I just did. Posting a long question is actually a great way of making sure that you are not going to receive plunged with piles of useless crap, like your answer just was. Tk u. lol

Resolved Question: Should Britain and Portugal have a special friendship similar to what Britain and the United States have?

Basically, In my opinion I thoroughly believe that Britain should form a new special relationship with Portugal and remove the Special relationship with United States. Key points in my opinion are: - That Portugal has helped Britain out several times in the past. - That Britain has helped Portugal out several times in the past. - That after 2 major wars Portugal has remained close allies with Britain. - That When Britain when through hardship and competition; Portugal still remained loyal and Vice Versa. -That both countries have been below pressure in the past but never results in either one fighting another. -That Portugal is closer to Spain and France (Via Connection between countries) But never joined either against Britain -That when Britain had and Empire ready to attack from almost anywhere on Earth governing 35% of Earth's landmass, Britain never back-stabbed it's allies. -That Britain and the United States of America have only truly became proper "allies" since World war 2 liberating Normandy. -That Britain and Portugal actually finish jobs that they are involved in. I was simply wondering whether or not anybody agrees with my perspectives or not, and please give me thorough, honest, decent, and mature answers.

Voting Question: I can't decide who to pick. Torn between two boys.?

Oh for heaven's sake! Thinking about this whole situation makes me cringe every over again but I just cannot figure out what to do. Naturally, I am ridiculously indecisive and it takes me a very long time to actually make a decision.. I find that I over think things. Anyways, the story: I've liked Joe since September. He's my best pal. He's smart, sensitive, hilarious and a tad dorky. Recently, it seems that he's been reciprocating feelings, flirting and whatnot. He tells me I look beautiful. He made sure to talk to me on Christmas like he promised. He took my hand and danced with me and held me close. He's amazing. He asked to receive together on Saturday. So what's the issue, right? The issue is that I also started falling for my new pal Michael, who is a constant flirt. I spend a lot of my day with him, and when I'm not with him somewhere at school I'm with Joe. Michael and I definitely did not receive along when we first met. I've known him for two years and I couldn't stand him until I started getting to know him. I mainly disliked him because I found him obnoxious and in-your-face-rude. Turns out, I was wrong. He's music obsessed (like me), sensitive yet insensitive. He's hurting and I can tell. He tells me about his problems and his dreams. He plays the guitar and I sing. He tells me how he wants to go to Portugal to visit his dad's grave. He tells me how his band members kicked him out of the band. He tells me the problems in his life and I help fix them. He's a bit of a trouble maker though, unlike Joe, he's getting sent to the office, smoking weed and partying on weekends. Because of who he was the past two years, the teachers and faculty don't want to give him a chance, to help him out anymore. They simply assume he's going to cause problems and it breaks my heart because I look his potential. Anyways, Michael wants to receive together on Friday. I don't know if I should pick between the two or hangout with both and look which one I connect with more. I mean, from the academic aspects Joe and I connect perfectly, and from the social aspects (minus the drugs and every-weekend-partying) Mike and I connect perfectly. This is killing me because I care about them both so much. I need a little bit of guidance as to what do to. The only thing is.. I don't thing my parents would approve of Michael. My parents adore Joe. Michael enjoys screamo music, is attached to his headphones and has spacers in his ears.. Joe is NOTHING like that at every. Michael is definitely not their cup of tea. They like clean clip, well behaved, driven kids. (Ex. My pony tail can't be messy but tied back neatly. My school shirt can't be untucked. ect.)

Jess Barcelona have never lost 4-0 with Xavi, Iniesta, Messi... the greatest defeat they ever suffered was by a two goal difference, and that 3-1 defeat can be credited to fatigue of the bus journey they had to undertake, 3-1 Betis, Iniesta didn't play and Messi still scored (and Missed a penalty and was unimportant due to 5-0 first leg), 2-0 Hercules - Xavi didn't play the first half.... I'm sorry I just can't believe how silly your statement's are, to actually think Messi is more important for Argentina, it's insane, how did I blame Messi for the 4-0 defeat? I'm just simply stated Messi is much more effective for Barcelona, 99% of players are more effective for club than country, Messi plays better for Barcelona because he spends more time playing there, more time with his team mates and they compliment each other better etc.... Messi won the Ballon D'or for his club performances ONLY..... because his international matches were only good, never great.... You're the one blaming Messi for that defeat.... you said Argentina is a one man team... so if Argentina lose 4-0 then that's Messi losing 4-0.... I didn't claim that, you did.... You're such an idiot, your totally getting confused....''Messi is worth three players in Argentina''.... I didn't say he wasn't... Messi could be worth 100 rubbish players to Argentina..... but he definitely not worth Messi, Xavi and Iniesta to Barcelona...... The only reason Argentina struggled in qualifying was due to the non-managerial skills of Maradona, that guy was useless, if Argentina had a capable manager and even took out Messi I can guarantee you they would have got more points.... I 100% fully believe that, the team they had was much better than Chile and Paraguay..... Argentina don't have to rely on Messi but that rubbish manager made his formation that way and called up every the wrong players.... even without Messi you're saying their team is worse than Ecuador, Colombia, Venezula, Bolivia & Peru? haha.... what a muppet.... No, Messi's role in Argentina was just behind the strikers, same as Barcelona, against Algeria he played directly behind Tevez and Higuain as he did against South Korea, Greece, Mexico and Germany but again Maradonas waste of space managerial skills failed to call up the right players forcing Messi to drop deeper to receive the ball... thus rendering him ineffective and forcing him to player longer passes.... and that's was exactly happened against Portugal, he kept dropping deeper to receive the ball..... maybe it's you who needs to watch their matches, you don't seem to understand what's going on.... didn't you pick up on that? His role is not to play deep but he HAS to.... cease embarrassing yourself, the more you agree with Fabiola the deeper hole your digging, you arrive here with every your higher standards saying you felt sorry for people on here using such language and arguing.... yet your a prime suspect... such a hypocrite of the worse nice... and what's HILARIOUS is you actually believe in what your spewing out.... Take away Messi from Argentina you still have a side capable of reaching the quarter finals of the WC as Messi did and further if they had a more capable coach.... Take away Messi you have a less effective Barcelona, take away Inesta, Xavi and Messi then you have a shadow of the Barcelona team that would be way behind Real Madrid in the league... Let me ask you, what team do you support? Or are just a Messi lick arse? EDIT OK.... let me dumb it down for you.... 1.don't ever put my name as your heading to your moronic question, got that? What can you do about it LOL.... scary girl... Anyway back to the question..... you asked ''show me where I said Lionel Messi is more important to Argentina than he is for FC Barcelona. '' You said ''This current Argentina team cannot cope without Lionel Messi.. Whoever says that's true either doesn't like Lionel Messi or never watch the past few matches of Argentina.. Taking out Lionel Messi from Argentina is like removing Lionel Messi, Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta from FC Barcelona.'' 1. ''Argentina team cannot cope without Messi''...... So you must also feel Barcelona cannot cope without Messi otherwise he is more important for Argentina?... so do you? 2. ''Taking out Lionel Messi from Argentina is like removing Lionel Messi, Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta from FC Barcelona.''....... You said taking Messi from Argentina is like taking away Messi hims

Resolved Question: Does anybody actually buy Harper's excuse? RE: UN Security Counsel?

BACKGROUND The UN Security Counsel was accepting 2 nation-states on a "temporary" (10 year) term. 3 countries were bidding for these two spots: Canada, Portugal, and Germany. Germany being mainland Europe's economic powerhouse was every but guaranteed a spot and they got one. So it every came down to Canada and Portugal which saw Canada receive humiliated through 2 rounds of voting before conceding defeat and pulling out, giving Portugal the seat. Dating back to Prime Minster Lester B. Pearson, every time Canada has put in a bid for a security counsel seat, they have won one. RESPONSE In response to this, Foreign Affair minister blamed opposition leader Michael Ignatieff solely for the inability to beat out Portugal. Surely people can't be buying this? Yes, Ignatieff spoke out against the Conservative government, who has shown very little regard for anything UN related since coming to power in 2006, bidding for a security counsel seat. However to argue that just because an opposition party criticized a move your government made costs you a seat is simply absurd. The Conservative government has been cutting aid money, reducing its role in international peacekeeping, has been critical of the UN since coming into power, has followed a relatively unpopular pro-Israel stance, among other foreign policy blunders. Do they actually expect people to buy that the over reasons had nothing to do with the loss and it was simply due to an opposition leader speaking out?

Resolved Question: Can someone help me with this please?

I am currently writing this essay about Brazil. Here is my topic.... Most nations in the world today still show the signs of foreign powers who once ruled the land. Maybe it is the language spoken there or the types of crops grown. In the age of exploration many of the world’s biggest powers such as France and Portugal conquered lands in Latin America. In some instances these foreign invaders had a positive influence, but in many they were seen as oppressive to the natives’ way of life. I am stuck with this one question which I have been searching the internet for this answer for a while now but every that pops up is brazils soccer, and thats not what im looking for here is my question... If the conquering nation no longer holds power, how did they lose their power? (Through rebellion? Or did they simply leave?) Can someone help me please and thank you

Resolved Question: With a Greek trady looming, can the EU continue the way it is?

It is now clear that Greece’s 2010 bailout failed to improve the sustainability of its public finances. The risk of another default or — the nightmare scenario — of Greece deciding, or being asked by the Germans, to leave the single currency has spooked investors. The country today, like Ireland, faces record borrowing costs as investors demand a high price for holding risky Greek debt. The markets simply do not believe Greece will grow quick enough to service its debts and the gap between Greek and German bond prices has widened sharply. Greece likes to claim that budget trickery was responsible for their disaster. In Ireland, of course, we blame the banks. In Portugal, however, no such excuses are available. Everyone — citizens, governments, banks — is in massive debt. Over the past decade, growth has been virtually nil. The euro reduced interest rates, leading to an explosion of credit, which now makes their bailout necessary. Their austerity package will in every likelihood, push Portugal back into recession this year and next, threatening a vicious circle of decline where more austerity is always necessary just to keep up with a contraction of the economy. They have neither the physical infrastructure nor the human resources to make themselves more competitive, but it is in these areas — roads, universities and training – where the axe will fall hardest. What they are being asked to do is to repay the vast debts not just of their public sector but also of their banks while enduring sizeable declines in real wages, and radical reform of their institutions and political culture. Is it any wonder that the Portuguese are beginning to yearn for the return of the escudo so they can adjust through devaluation? Unlike Ireland, Greece and Portugal will find it very difficult to generate the necessary impetus for exports to offset the impact of continued austerity. Exports account for only relatively tiny proportions of their GDP — unlike in Ireland’s case — and trade little with countries outside the slow-growing EU. Officially, restructuring the debt of any eurozone country is not even on the agenda. The talk is instead of adjustment in the terms of the Greek bailout — for if Greece restructures or exits the euro, can Portugal be far behind? But never say never. We’ve heard this story before. RESTRUCTURING Greece’s debts is supposedly a non-starter for European officials — but so too was a bailout a little over a year ago. Initially, the EU will no doubt try and receive away with "soft" restructuring, involving a combination of longer maturities and lower interest rates. Some form of full-scale debt restructuring — the polite term for default — now looks every but inevitable, however, whatever the denials. Whether it works is another matter. A full-scale Greek default with debt write-downs of 50% or more will be akin to something like an economic apocalypse. But even this will not guarantee continued membership of the euro for the weakest countries. If Greece restructures, investors will assume that Portugal is next and then Spain will arrive below scrutiny again as the contagion spreads. The euro area will have to inject capital into defaulters’ banks, which have huge holdings of their respective governments’ debts. The impact will be felt far beyond the EU itself. Even this will be just a sticking plaster. What Greece and Portugal need is economic growth but that will require real and profound changes in the structure of their economies. Until then, they will struggle to tap capital markets at anything but prohibitively high rates. With luck, Ireland might just be able to unhitch itself from the others and manage to convince the markets that it is still solvent despite running a huge deficit. The price will be austerity for years to arrive although this might be sustainable given that we are now running a current-account surplus, unlike the others, and are not relying on foreign borrowing to finance the deficit. But for the EU to continue as it is now is not possible, even if it were desirable. Will countries have to leave the euro area (and perhaps even the union unless the current rules are bent), or will a US-type transfer union emerge instead? The way politics is currently, the latter looks like an outside bet.

Resolved Question: Are the UK's Public Sector workers greedy or just plain stupid.?

Ireland, Greece , Italy , Spain and Portugal are on the verge ruin, they face a decade of economic misery because for years they spent money, that they didn't have, on their Public Sector workers and benefits . So they simply borrowed it , but now the world 's markets want it back or else . Let us be clear about one thing , despite what the left says , the banking crisis did not cause these economic problems -- it simply revealed them. It only brought judgement day foreward. Unfortunately , the UK is in a very similar position . We borrow more than £1 in every £5 that our government spends -- and most of this spending is used to pay our Public Sector workers and pay social welfare benefits. However , despite the slow motion crashes we are witnessing every over Europe , the UK's Public Sector workers are still demanding that they be insulated from the economic problems coming our way ;that they be allowed to hold onto their privileged status -- of better wages than in the private sector ,and better pensions than most of us can only dream about ( whilst contributing only around about a quarter of the cost of them). The economic tidal wave, affecting the relax of Europe, is coming our way . We will be forced to clip spending one way or another by around £50 Bn a year --- and quite simply the choice is between cutting spending on the Public Sector or reducing social welfare benefits But Public Sector workers appear to remain blind to this --- is it greed or madness on their part "For the past 15 years those at the top have seen their wealth skyrocket" I completely agree with that, and the mad sentiment behind it .I too want the system to deal with this wretched greedy group of individuals . But Public Sector workers are behaving in exactly the same way -- they too are abusing their position in our society in order to retain their privilaged positions , to the detriment of the relax of us . In this book , bankers and Public Sector workers are the pigs and humans of Animal farm and I look no difference between them Hugo : Except that here , the Public Sector have made it clear that they believe that the relax of us have no right to end their contracts .That we have no right to say that we cannot afford to go on employing them on such generous terms ,that we will therefore pay you what we owe, and then end the contract. Instead the Public Sector insist that we go on paying them what they want , for as long as they want it -- even though it is clear that we cannot afford it .They insist on frog marching us to the bank and forcing us to borrow money we cannot afford, in order to pay them . That's not a contract --- that's extortion. Celia H ; One of our (ex) Public Sector's finest no doubt ,who thinks that the Guardian is really the word of god . "Anyone who believes public sector pay is better than the rate for similar jobs in the commercial sector, except for a tiny minority at the top, is living in a fantasy world" Well according to the last (Labour ) governments statistics , the average wage in the Public Sector was almost 10 % higher than in the private sector --- which is quite remarkable considering the size of the top end salaries in the private sector. ( Oh --- And that doesn't include the Public Sector Worker's pension benefits which equate to 10%-20% of additional salary .) "And finally, if you think that public spending needs to be clip, why not call for the end of the British military presence in Afghanistan, or an end to posturing as a nuclear armed power" The Public Sector workers true stance .The Public Sector worker does not care how we receive the money to pay them -- just that the relax of Avram Y: "Servile wretches like you turn my stomach. What will put the country to rights would be a bloody revolution, where the idle wealthy, the modern day thief barons and servile wretches are carted to a place of execution and decapitated." So what made you crawl out of the slime in such a foul mood then -- spent every your benefits already ? I can't help wondering if you have ever had a job and kept it -- or actually , even if you have ever applied for one ?. You look, I suspect that working for a living in our capitalist society would be beneath you -- though no doubt living off the dirty capitalists within it wouldn't be.
