They'd be incredible with German engineering, English governance, and French culture.

Of course, they migh tend up with French engineering, German governance and English culture. Yeee.

I used to respect my prime minister

THEN WHAT WILL THAY HAVE TO WHINE ABOUT?

As opposed to the Superpouters they are now.

Damn right they should build themselves into a super-power.

Build themselves an army, using their own technology and a superior infrastructure and hell they could show the US what for... you know this may not be such a good idea.

France surrenders
The Swiss don't pick sides
And England just sucks...

No wonder the Nazis were so damn powerful...

"France surrenders?"

There is nothing funny about making fun of the French, even if it's tongue in cheek.

Ah, but they wouldn't be true Europeans if they were'nt whining about something, would they?

/stereotypical European comment via stereotypical dumb southerner

Vive le revolucion!

But that would mean they would have to stop living off the state and get jobs - I dont see it happening.

no country is the most powerful in the world forever... it'll be nice to see what comes next after the usa

Ideally, there should be one government per continent, max

Hey, it works for the Aussies

That "certain scratchiness" can be a problem, especially in hot weather.

Which European nation will supply the best boobies?

i take a S.H.I.T on europe, or the non-bathers as some people call them

It looks like Tony Blair only wants Europe to become a super-power on USA level so they can be a better ally to the United States.

WTF?

What we need is another USSR!

Now now,

There's nothing wrong with feminine body hair.



IF YOU LIKE DOIN IT WITH WOOKIES

So, this will be a superpower that doesn't want to go to war with anyone, is against the death penalty, and is powered by $7/gal gasoline? ...Fine by me :-)

Finally, someone else to solve all the worlds problems. Of course, they still won't do anything, but it's a good start.

I can't wait watching them bankrupt their economy by spending as much as we do on our military budget (that's not a slam on the EU, it's a slam on the US).

Lizerd
Hope you speak Mandarin...

Read Tony Blair wants to be president of Europe.

Nobody likes the Chinese.

Even if they do get their sh*t together probably find another french porn star to run the whole thing. Chumps.

Just think about it...an army of drunken soccer hooligans!

"There is nothing funny about making fun of the French, even if it's tongue in cheek."

Uh, yes there is. It's funny how often they confirm their own negative stereotypes. Le Pussies.

Aint gonna happen.

As much as the w. euros like complaining about American aggression, they wont put their money where their mouth is and actually cough up for defense, theyd rather the US do it so they dont have to pay for it so they can continue financing their civil programs (like their yummy 6 week vacations, lavish unemployement benefits and subsidies), and keep saying that the US are a bunch of belligerant wankers who put their military noses where they dont belong.

Ironically, those who seem to complain the most about american global cop-ism are the same who dont want their own military spending to grow.

hmm....

cake? eat? it? too?

wow that sounded very republican of me.

Arse!

hmmmmmmm, GW aint gonna like that one little bit.

I put money on someone starting another flame war. 5...4...3...2...1

I am now purely convinved that the only time the world will unite against a common enemy is when the aliens attack.
E.g.: Star Ship Trooopers, Independence Day, etc...
Where are the damn aliens, if there are any, when wer need them?

"Cheese eatin' surrender monkeys!" - Groundskeeper Willie (Simpsons)

After all, it's all a PLOT! and it's all about the cheese.....

Uh, yes there is. It's funny how often they confirm their own negative stereotypes. Le Pussies

Actually, since "pussies" is plural, it would be LeS.

Sorry Pedantic im stealing your thunder here.

Arse!

Bass555 had a really good point,
"Ideally, there should be one government per continent, max Hey, it works for the Aussies"
It is the same thing in North America isn't it, I mean canada and mexico don't really count do they?

It won't happen. They'd have to divert money from socialist programs into the military, and that won't fly.

So, they'll keep whining.

heh, thanks Father_Jack, always gotta be gramatically correct when insulting a culture.

LeS Goosesteppers. There that's better.

What we need is another USSR!

I miss them. At least when they were around we had someone to share the whinning and self pity from other nations who can't get their sh!t together. It's lonely at the top.

They'd end up with "Too many chiefs and not enough indians"

Besides, then we'd have to produce more ICBM's to point somewhere below Russia and above the Mediterranean.

It's about time someone over there started thinking like... well... like an American. ;o)

I think the European Union should become a kind of United States of Europe. I also think there should be a United States of Africa, although that is going to be harder to implement. These guys really will give us a run for our money when they stop bickering among themselves and cooperate. A U.S. of Asia is almost unthinkable.

Bass555, One government per continent would mean the U.S.A. would have to merge with Canada, Mexico, Honduras, Costa Rica, and all those other Central America countries. That would be even harder than forming a U.S. of Africa.

If only it were as simple as a game of Risk.

I dunno... which is worse?

American redneck (or worse- "Deliverance" types) with bad teeth, B.O., and narrow viewpoint/parochialism?

Or the combination of:

British bad teeth, French BO and German Parochialism....

farking Jesus! Stop saying france surrenders! It was never that funny.

Hero tag for Tony Blair

what are all these aliens doing on here. get your own www

"europe, it's one of americans colonies".....sounds like something out of a vacation comercial

Hasn't the world already had centuries of experience of what life is like with a militarily strong Europe? Isn't this how we got in trouble to start with?

We still can't cash the checks the Euro-powers wrote in the middle east back in WWI for crissakes! They still haven't lifted a finger to resolve the Kashmir stuff, and they wrote the farkin borders!

It is bad enough they have looted half the planet and still live off the spoils, but to let them have another crack at it?

America's future ain't with whitey in Europe. It is time to say our good-bye's and "just be friends". They set up the EU just to pick a fight, and I say we not meet them on the playground after school.

It's like Uter always said: "Would you like some of my Marzipan Joy-Joys?"
