Similar concepts: If anyone takes the time to tell you that they are honest, they are not. If anyone tells you they are not an idiot, they are. When someone wants you to "do the right thing," they want you to do their bidding. etc. Or when someone says "I'm not trying to be an asshole" Is the prepartory command for Im fixen to be an asshole.

ShcShc11 0 #202 January 30, 2012 Its actually too bad there's not more Europeans here. I think a very worthy economics topic would be: "Would it be fair for the Germans for their taxpayers to subsidize Italian and Greece's uncompetitive export industry?" Germany is herself "unfairly" taking advantage of the low Euro exchange to boost her own export industry. And eitherway, without a sort of transfer union (in the same way Federal money goes to weaker States), a working European Union is simply impossible. Cheers to all.
