I say stick a gun in their hands and force them to fight for their future. We'll back them with airpower, kind of like the Iraqi Army. I don't know though...they may not want to be saved.

Hmm, should've figured. There is nothing more pathetic than the boyfriend/husband of a leftist. See number 18.

All this talk about their low birth rates does not alter the fact that Europe is very crowded, in their view.

All the best European males were killed off in WW2

Many died, too, in World War One.

I spent three years, complements of Uncle Sam, in England in the mid-80s. It used to amaze me how, in the square of most little towns and villages there would be a monument to the men of that town or village that died in The Great War. The names of the local fallen, as often as not, were inscribed somewhere on the monument. What was particularly stunning was the sheer number of those names, given the size of the town or village.

France, too, had amazing casualty rates in World War One. As did Germany.

I think that Ground forces will be needed....not enough young european males willing to fight and not enough even born.

He believes that he is to the right of the Republicans currently in power. That isn't exactly an uncommon position around here.

Not so much. There were teens, and there were children in schools. The English did not take their children everywhere with them, as is common practice here in the states. This was twenty years ago, so I don't know what current practice may be.

I saw children, but I was dating the headmistress (effectively, a Principal) of a local public (a misnomer - actually this means private) school.

It's just a question of whether the people of Europe will get tired of the tar pit they're in before they drown in it.

Let's not pity nor condemn Europe because we have an ever growing tar pit and growing civil unrest that unless rectified will swallow us whole.

Europe has gone through many upheavals throughout history and are more inclined to survive while we as nation have had only one major internal conflict (Civil War) but the make up of our nation is so much more diverse now and being pulled apart by a variety of foreign allegiances that when the sh*t hits the fan, we are liable to splinter in so many pieces that it will not be possible to reassemble one viable union spanning the continent.

We as a nation lack the maturity of the ages. We even lack the wisdom in electing true world class statesmen to lead our country.

Profile, FR homepage, whatever.

It says he is an AF veteran "heartsick" about how the Republicans are letting down the conservative movement.

Yeah, right.

Iwas there in the nineties thanks to the Air Force and it reminded me of one big nursing home
