08087 - We all know Zombie and his ways so we know where he stands on things and we also know when hes being serious or taking tbe piss now, thats the difference. Had Zombie posted your Obama post we would know he was not having a go at Obama but the idiotic press and people who believe that nonsense, therefore he would not have been hassled etc. The fact is we know for all his bluster and bravado, underneath it all Zombie is just a big pussycat, kinda like an apple pie, hard on the outside but all warm and gooey inside  :D

I think the confusion came from not knowing you or your politics etc and thinking you may have been a touch right-wing/racist, we dont like that kind of crap around here. We're all equal here, your colour, creed or religion does not matter to me at all, what ever it is. With you being a relative newbie we're still trying to suss you out and find out where you stand on things and what you think etc.

Btw, the royals of England are actually of Hanovarian decent, (German), they used a similair system of arranged marriage that Muslims do now, where the parents decide who is best for their child and sorts out the union. No love involved, its all business.

We all think Camilla looks like a horse, only i doubt she would give you such a good ride  :D

The English are all inbred anyway,  just look at Whiteknight, he's the proof of the pudding  :P


Axy - Are you saying an engineer only gets paid €10-€11,000 in your company? Per year? If so then that is waaaaay low, for UK wages anyway. Where i work an engineer is paid £23-£25,000 per year for working 37 hrs a week with 5-6 wks holiday every year (not inc national holidays, we get them too).  Thats about €28-€31,000 a year we get here.

Indians, Romanians, Bulgarians and people from Phillipines are lowest paid.

...and probably the happiest... ;D

Most likely. However, being "lowest paid" does not have to be a negative thing.

My ex. colleague works now in Finland. He bought 60 m2 apartment for 500.000 EUR.
As we already spoke, my friend from your country bought a very nice house for 35.000 EUR.

We can now talk about quality of life and differences between Philippines and Finland, but I would say that my tagalog speaking friend is actually BETTER PAID than my colleague in Finland, if we account for the purchasing power parity in the equation! He can buy several times more goods than the other guy even though his salary is half of the salary of the other guy.

It`s monthly NET salary for British expats working here. Other numbers are for Croatian when they are expats working elsewhere.

Ah, well then that sounds good then, at least for the british expats.

I get what you mean about quality lf life too. I lived and worked in S.Africa for almost a year and a half and tho i got a good wage by S.A standards, if i converted it to £'s then i earned less than i did as an apprentice. The cost of living was a lot cheaper in S.A so i could lead a comfortable life for way less than i needed in Scotland. The only problem came when i left to return home, when i converted my saving to £'s i had very little. I did have a good time there tho so it was worth going.

Not really... Just the way it has always been there. It is the same here in North Florida. The families here were soo remote from other people that inbreeding just happens. outsiders were looked on as lessor people or just unwelcome. Same with the "royals". The fact of the matter is it still continues whether by choice or accident... Remote populations just narrow the gene pool. I'm sure some of my ancestors are "closer" than most would want. Ireland is a relatively small island, and with the Clan system... who knows.
I don' know who is demented and who is not. I'm just being a general bigot towards those that can do great things but choose to f*ck, and kill instead. So to me they are ALL inbred trolls.

No this is an explanation I can accept. As for Pricess Di being a lady I'd have to agree until the end. She knew full well that the Royal family were cold blooded killers and she was warned about dating the Arab guy (Jodi Fayed) spelling, let alone maybe getting prenent by him. She choose to do the wrong thing and paid for it. It's kind of like the mob, you get in but you never fully get out unless it's dead. What's worse is she wasn't born into it she choose to become part of it, her family was well enough off to advise her on what she was getting into. A shame 20 yr olds don't listen.

Thanks, it goes a long way. Just so you all get a better feel for me I'll lay a bit out for you all. I do lean towards the right in my politics, I prefer Ron Paul for pres if you know anything about him you'll know what I like about him. Obama and Mitt are one in the same and America is in serious trouble no matter which one takes office. I'm well aware of the royal's background and that Prince Charles is in fact Greek if I'm not mistaken.

For what it's worth I'm American from Germany, Wales and American Indian. Keep in mind it's not wwhat a woman looks like in the end it's what she brings to the table that matters, for Charles Di didn't do it anymore, Camilla must. Doesn't mean I like her anymore then you just that Charles finds something appealing in her and that's what matters to him.

The next election her is one I am NOT participating in. There really is no point... Now Jessie Ventura were to run I would. We need an average Joe that cannot be bought. I'm not saying this as an undereducated putz that believes wrestling is real either. The US needs a super dupper twisto flex supplex body slam, and who better than Jessie. I Did vote Obama, and am very disappointed in him. I feel cheated/lied to. The MAIN reason I voted was his apparent stance on the Gulf war. It should have ended, and If he realized he was over his head he should have come out, and siad so. Maybe ASK the American people for advice/help. That's the way we were founded, and supposed to have remained... Oh well!
 Welcome back 008!
I DO feel kinda warm, and gooey...inside.

As an outsider i was over the moon when Obama got in, i really thought he was going to change the world for the better after G.W almost destroyed it. Like Zombie says tho, he failed to deliver on so many fronts i can only describe his 1st term as a failure. I totally accelt he was left a crock of sh** by Bush and also had the economic downturn to deal with but he sold out within the 1st yr as far as i can see. Gitmo's still open, "prisoners" there still are not tried in a proper court of law, war still rages in Afghanistan, Iraq is f***ed, the poor are poorer, the rich are richer, Israel still has too much sway over US foreign policy (who knows why?), whatever you think of the Occupy movement it was a mass call for change but he basically ignored it and the big bonuses etc continue, promised "Obamacare" but failed, he just seems to talk a good game then fails to deliver the goods.  I could go on but im sure as Americans you all know where he failed. I have no doubt he has been a million miles better than Palin/McCain wouldve been for the US and the world, had McCain won then you would prob be in Iran right now, bogged down in another unwinable war.

I just wish the US president and the UK prime minister would stop talking sh** and do something to improve things. Change our foreign policies, stop trying to rule the world, bullies never win in the longrun,  just try being f***ing nice to people for a change and see how that works?

If i was American i would prob vote Obama, not because i think he is perfect but because he seems tbe least bad of all the crowd on offer. I dont know much about Ron Paul but i have heard a lot of Americans saying what 08087 says, he seems to impress a lot of people. Then again would he not just sell out like the rest once he got in? I believe Obama is a good man at heart and means well, but he is being mis-advised or has lost touch with the people who put him in power. Power corrupts, its true.

I receive an equivalent of around 11,000 Euros a year here (Philippines). Have a nice 4 bedroom 2-storey house, 3 cars, 2 bikes, 5 TVs, 15 wrist watches, children enrolled in private schools... and thinking of buying a small place near the beach for retirement... life's good...

If you want to adopt me Vivo ... I'll cook! My dogs are cool, and I;ll even watch the garden for you!

 "Israel still has too much sway over US foreign policy (who knows why?),"
The Why is the water. That Gulf place Pakistan sits on. Since the US is vested in stealing other peoples oil... We need a way to get it out. Simple math Bro! That's the ONLY reason we PRETEND to give a rats arse about the middle east. We need a shipping lane!
We SURE didn't care when the 2 Hitlers were clearing it out for us. We STILL don't. It's the road to Freedom over there. As long as we can steal their oil, and ship it out ... Why use ours?
Even the Floppy headed Canadians are hip to our sh*t! They are keeping OUR oil under their dirt!!! Rat Bastards!
I hope I didn't offend anyone. I'm American, and it don't matter anyway... We RULE! (just like England did) once... for a global second...maybe.

F*ck it! America is a rats ass lying son of a bit(h nation that deserves what it's GOING to get. In MY heart/soul... My family always has been, and ALWAYS will be IRISH!

G'day America!
