    So yeah, Greece is quite directly influencing our economy. Thank you Greece and thank you France for convincing the rest to let Greece join in the first place.

    Edit: Besides, it's illegal for EU countries to lend eachother financial aid. But I don't think anyone willing to sue the EU is going to win.

    Mr. Hardstyler01 over here needs to take a few courses in economics.

    The rest of us just keeps on going and we'll see where we end up.

    Go ahead and point out where I'm wrong. Or are insults all you got?

    I hope we (Finland) go back to the old currency.. Much more easier and wouldn't have to worry bout these things!

    All this "go back to our previous currency" isn't going to help anyone. We have a turd or two in the punchbowl that need to be put in their place but instead we keep on holding their hand and sending them money while they refuse to fix their shit... and when they make a plan, everyone decides to break stuff because hey, that'll fix it!

    Can we stop comparing Norway and the other Scandawegian states to the rest of Europe... You guys have more resources per capita than the rest of Europe...

    Would love to see how Norway coped with a population of 50 million.

    Or how the UK would manage if it only had to look after 40 million, not 70...

    Guess Germany just sails in and disproves that one, but yeah, gets my goat when people tout Norway or Sweden as great economical strategists when they have a fraction of the mouths to feed, but LOTS of country to draw from...

    Just reporting in. I think we all have an interest in one anothers countries since we all share the same boat so to speak. If we are going down, we are going down together, there is no way around that, some are worse off though. But this wasn't an attempt tout anything.

    Having a larger internal market(numbers of people), does not have to be a negative thing either.
    The nerve is called the "nerve of awareness". You cant dissect it. Its a current that runs up the center of your spine. I dont know if any of you have sat down, crossed your legs, smoked DMT, and watch what happens... but what happens to me is this big thing goes RRRRRRRRRAAAAAWWW! up my spine and flashes in my brain... well apparently thats whats going to happen if I do this stuff...

    Absolutely, it just frustrates me when people suggest that adopting thier financial policies would solve any problems. Their financial policies work for them, but that doesn't mean it would work elsewhere

    Yeah, nordic/scandinavian countries apply the same economic theories as others though for the most part. I think any smart statesman will try to learn from others though, this is an ongoing process for almost all countries, if something works great in lets say France you look at that and try to maybe learn a bit from it. Of course one needs to take into account all the actual differences there are, you can't just copy paste something and voila magic. As you said some things wont work or be suitable just because it works elswhere.

    I think it's quite interesting to follow EU diplomacy and politics at times, esp now when things are as they are. For example the deal with the EU budget.

    I was actually wondering something entirely different. Just how much tax revenue have they lost due to companies funneling their income through Ireland and tax loopholes which effects every other area negatively. =)

    It's almost like having an economic region with unified monetary policy, but separate fiscal policies, isn't really a very good idea.

    I would say it looks good on paper, but even in a theoretical sense it's a rather dubious concept.

    How do you determine this?
