    Default Europe Day

    Happy Europe day fellow Europeans! Let this be a time of remembrance of how long we have come since the days of WWI and WWII, and how distant the thought of taking up arms against one's neighbour is nowadays.




    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Europe is united now
    United that it may remain;
    Our unity in diversity
    May contribute to world peace.

    May there forever reign in Europe
    Faith and justice and Freedom
    For all its many people
    In a greater motherland

    Citizens, Europe will flourish,
    A great task calls on to you.
    The stars in the night sky
    Are the symbols that unite us.


    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Est Europa nunc unita
    et unita maneat;
    una in diversitate
    pacem mundi augeat.

    Semper regant in Europa
    fides et iustitia
    et libertas populorum
    in maiore patria.

    Cives, floreat Europa,
    opus magnum vocat vos.
    Stellae signa sunt in caelo
    aureae, quae iungant nos.


    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Freude, schöner Götterfunken,
    Tochter aus Elysium!
    Wir betreten feuertrunken,
    Himmlische, Dein Heiligtum.

    Deine Zauber binden wieder,
    Was die Mode streng geteilt,
    Alle Menschen werden Brüder,
    Wo Dein sanfter Flügel weilt.

    thank god the foreign office and the treasury are not going along with this nonsense, no EU flags for them.

    -----------------

    just in case anyone is unaware; Europe Day is a celebration of Robert Schuman

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schuman_Declaration

    So what this is is a celebration of supranational governance in general, and a federal europe in particular.

    In fact, this is the circle-jerk day for the rank idiocy that is transnational progressivism.

    -----------------

    Understandably I want no part in it.

    Norway is, as they say, more european than any other european country. We have adopted each and every rule, standard, etc that comes from Brüssels. Why? Because the EU is good for not just our economy, but every other economy as well.

    The only real difference between Norway and a member state is that the member state has representation and influence, which Norway does not. Almost everything else is the same.

    Also, why does it matter where I'm from? Is a Chinese man's dream of democracy ridiculous because he doesn't live in one?

    That depends, while I generally support the Union etc. I am increasingly getting the impressions that the people who make decisions are not thinking things through, or in other words, not doing their jobs properly.
    One indication of course, is that Greece got into the Eurozone by lying and noone noticed they faked their finances.
    Another is that we're all forced to use CFLs now but a laboratory working for a german TV magazine apparently found out that they emit carcinogenic gases.
    Link is in German because I cannot find one in english, google translate may be of help.
    Add to that that if they break, they poison the whole room as well with all the heavy metals etc. in them.
    And thanks to the EU, we cannot go back, LED may be an alternative but they're still expensive, not always suited for the same tasks and who knows how poisonous they are?

    There is a loophole you market them as heaters due to the element inside the glass and take advantage of purely coincidently illumination.

    Some people are always afraid of new technology.

    Flourescent light is complrtely superior to the old bulb. There is absolutely no advantage to the latter in regards to the former.

    This is one of the reasons why the EU is great: it can force through change in spite of the people who are afraid of new technology.

    Untrue there can be many reasons for the use of either incandessant or flourescent light, you dont dictate such a thing instead you use the correct light for the job in hand.

    no, but your implication that Norway isn't a 'proper' democracy, because it isn't in the EU, is. if that is indeed what you allude to by mention of china. :)
