25% for the bonus of the CEO's of the failed banks

Seems that German taxpayers should be getting awful tired of paying for all the other failed states in their 'union'

It's not only the Germans who get tired of paying for "all the other" failed states. Other than that: at least we've some states in "our union" that understand that you can't spent more than you receive.

Good luck with that in the coming years!

I think we're way past the point where "good luck" is going to help us.

"we've some states in "our union" that understand that you can't spent more than you receive"

and wishing we had the same thinking here for all of our states and the entire country as well..... [:/] (but then, how will the politician purchase our votes????)

I sometimes think this could be the beginning of the downfall of Western Civilization. Things are in a dire state on both sides of the pond, but at least Europe is finally united:

Marinus, we really should enjoy our last pipe plus some Heineken and watch the Western Civilization going down the drain .... :) United until the end. >:(

Every generation thinks things like that. In the 1920's it was the loose morals of women. In the 1940's it was fascism that was going to destroy the world. In the 1950's it was communism, the USSR and rock and roll. In 1960's it was loose morals again. We seem to survive these calamities though - although society often changes as a result.

Of all the beers and pilseners our combined countries have to offer you choose Heineken? :|But if it all goes down, at least it'll make the news very interesting. Actually I like the idea of a truly united Europe including my hypothetical grand-kids waving the European star spangled banner and stuff, but I just don't see it happen. At least not any-time soon.

Decline would be the better word, down-fall is a bit too extreme indeed. I'm aware of the fact that it's normal for people to think they live in the end-time, but I think the things I fear are more realistic threats than loose morals and rock and roll. There's a God chance that the USA and Europe will experience an economic collapse in the near future, and this could lead to all kinds of misery.

Sweetie, you are not expecting childen or grand-children in the near future. I fully understand that.

If it's not your grand-children, perhaps your nephew will wave a flag one day? Just give it a try. :)

now let's not get distracted by the thread itself. The important thing here is that a German suggested Heineken as a real beer.

I think my reality is shattered....painfully. I'm now convinced that you are not really German and, in actuality, must be posting from a library in southern Missouri.

Don't you worry, it's just the nescience - I have no ideas about beer, only know that Heineken is a Dutch one.

Do they love Dutch beer in southern Missouri?? :o

And I for one offer my apologies to the world on behalf of my peopl for the abomination that's commonly referred to as Heineken. If it weren't for the fact that we redeemed ourselves with offering the world the wonder of Grolsch we should be nuked into oblivion for it.

Just one look at the bottle tells us that Grolsch is bloody brilliant:

How many times do I have to apologize on behalf of my people for the abomination of Heineken? Yes, Heineken is Dutch and we're all very sorry we brought it upon the world! :(:P


Hi Marinus,

is it really icky like that?

If Heineken made it into the south of Missouri: There must be something about it! No need to apologize. B|

Nah, it's more or less a joke. Heineken is biggest flaw is that it's utterly unremarkable, and it's a shame that out of our not insignificant beer culture that's the one that's exported all over the world. It's our Big Mac: an overpriced mass-product that lacks any quality or originality but that happens to be popular all over the globe.
