Newsweek Europe ^

[Timesink]

The title pretty much says it all. The question is, "Do you believe that over the next 10 years Europe will become the next superpower?" Since this is the European edition of Newsweek, it should be fun to Freep the numbers way down. Click here to vote. The poll's on the right-hand side of the page.

BTTT. Getting there...

Do you believe that over the next 10 years Europe will become the next superpower?	YES		24%
	NO		76%

[oyez]

No, Europe will only be an attitude queen.

[Bon mots]

It will happen and it could be taken by the right ...

Never. Europe is nowhere near being taken by the right. Shroeder is a Marxist as are the French and anyone else in Europe. Jacques Chirac is considered "the right" in France, and he once sold the Communist newspaper outside of Paris Metro stations.

The right in Europe is still to the left of American Democrats.

Freeped....Euros are like Florida voters. They lack common sense and are lazy.

[Bon mots]

...ooops. Forgot the Italians. Silvio Berlusconi is not a leftist.

Neither is Haider or LePen, but the left has ruined them via illicit means.

Incidentally, the Euro left always accuses the right of espousing violent methods, however there are only two politicians in Europe in this century who have been killed or wounded through acts of violence resulting from their political views. Both are considered "far right" and both have been violently attacked by the left.
LePen has a glass eye as the result of a beating at the hands of leftists.
Pim Fortuyn was murdered by a left wing extremist.

...here is a suggestion for Urinope if they want to be a superpower. Start by invading Zimbabwe with a multi-nation force

Let's see now: 2 years of debate in Brussels to define the composition of the EU invasion force, 5 years to hash out uniform standards for messkits, bunks, condoms, and other necessities, 1 year to fly the troops in (gotta keep replacing Airbuses when those tails snap off, you know). By the time EU forces are in place, Libya has established a solid hold on Zimbabwe as a colony, and Europe loses to Gadafi's well-equipped forces. The French surrender, then sue for peace by giving up some of its territory to form Vichy Zimbabwe.

Euros are like Florida voters. They lack common sense and are lazy.

And in one other way: most of them don't speak English.

those other polls . Did you see those ridiculous
results?

A union of ten or more jellyfish will NOT yield an animal with a spine!

ROTFLMAO Quote of the Week Nomination! You are channeling Gary Larsen!!!

[polemikos]

This is a joke, right?

They should do a profile on the "Yes" voters.

They're either idiots or socialists. (I know, I know...)

Europe is a worn-out old whore. The only reason that the EU may continue to exist is that the individual countries don't have the ambition, integrity or stones to be nationalistic.

[Gone_Postal]

Do you believe that over the next 10 years Europe will become the next superpower?	YES		21%
	NO		79%

Then kill all black communists and socialists.

How about just all communists and socialists, regardless of race?

[TheRedSoxWinThePennant]

i would freep it if I could get off the floor due to uncontrolable laughter

[aruanan]

The only way "Europe" could become a superpower is if somehow all the various nations dropped their centuries-old chauvinism (isn't going to happen) or if another nation like Germany or Russia completely crushed the rest of Europe and rebuilt it in its own image (that didn't work)--actually the U.S. has probably had a greater effect on every-day life in Europe than either Germany or the former Soviet Union (to see this, just look at the French academy's obsession with purifying the language of the English influences).

I voted YES because I believe it to be the truth. Face it, the USA is going rapidly downhill. Our wealth has been apportioned out to the rest of the world and the means to create it gone. I watch as our President cedes to the clamor for a UN decision in spite of his threats against them. Sadly, I do believe the NWO has taken over much of this country from the Pols on down to the youngest school student.
