This is the country in which people dig up their loved ones and murder their children so that there is something to eat. A place where the populace have been starving to death since 1994. A country which wishes to destroy one of the largest and most advanced cities ever built, then ethnically cleanse their neighbour and soon may have the means to do it. A small country the UN could feed with pocket change.

This could be fixed rather easily as soon as china is on board.

Which leads to the magical moment in your child's life when they develop cervical cancer. I know, beautiful, isn't it.

HPV isn't even a drug abuse thing. It's not even a 'depraved' sexuality thing. It's just something that's highly likely to happen to someone who wants to make sure they're compatible with the person they have children with.

It doesn't have to be selfless to be good. The person who grew your coffee beans did it out of their own selfish interest to make money to feed their family. The mailman doesn't bring you letters because he likes you, or because he believes that he personally makes society a better place. I didn't move to another country to teach because I have a firmly held belief that what I am doing improves the world. It helps those I teach, and lines a lot of peoples pockets along the way. Selfishness is a good thing, and vanity can certainly help others. Visit any Carnegie library to find that out.

Imagine further that the trading block cost $30 million per day and that they also hated you because you don't think that Germany is fit to run your country. Additionally imagine that they want to directly tax an industry that only exists in your country to the tune of $11 billion every year.
I understand trade harmonisation, I do not understand paying for Spanish art galleries, or paying Italy, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Poland, the Czech republic and others because they don't want to tax their people as much as they spend.
On a side note I don't understand either giving financial aid to Brazil whose economy overtook the UK and wants to give British land to Argentina, or India who has a space programme when we don't, or Pakistan who wants to kill anyone who doesn't believe the claims of an illiterate pedophile.
