Hmm...this is what you said.

It does not appear to me to be a general statement and certainly does not refer to the "state of the currency".

lol!! nice answer :small-smi

Well sorry, I'm not an economist.. seeing as GFY is a board for webmasters - not economy experts.

But since when did Holland a 164 billion dollar deficit ?

and if your so quick to point out errors. Please explain to me how you can class Holland as a third world country. Thanks.

Looking at just the debt load is one way of looking at the Economy, I suppose.

Let's look at it from another side, and in the words of an actual Economist.

If the European Union were a state in the USA it would belong to the poorest group of states. France, Italy, Great Britain and Germany have lower GDP per capita than all but four of the states in the United States. In fact, GDP per capita is lower in the vast majority of the EU-countries (EU 15) than in most of the individual American states. This puts Europeans at a level of prosperity on par with states such as Arkansas, Mississippi and West Virginia. Only the miniscule country of Luxembourg has higher per capita GDP than the average state in the USA. The results of the new study represent a grave critique of European economic policy.

Stark differences become apparent when comparing official economic statistics. Europe lags behind the USA when comparing GDP per capita and GDP growth rates. The current economic debate among EU leaders lacks an understanding of the gravity of the situation in many European countries. Structural reforms of the European economy as well as far reaching welfare reforms are well overdue. The Lisbon process lacks true impetus, nor is it sufficient to improve the economic prospects of the EU.

EU versus USA is written by Dr Fredrik Bergström, President of the Swedish Research Institute of Trade, and Mr Robert Gidehag, until recently Chief Economist of the same institute and now President of the Swedish Taxpayer's Association.

Isn't 600 euros like 100,000 zillion US dollars now?

You > me.

The only reason i got in was Theking calling Holland a third world country.

Sweet jesus, Battuss! How the fuck did this happen?

I'm going to check my tickets to see if I made a similiar mistake......

I am neither greater nor lesser than you, my friend.

And of course Holland is not a third world country. You can pretty much ignore most of what Theking says.

No need to answer the question...as it is apparent that you could not possibly be a comedic writer.

everything is allright for me.........first Miami, then NY and then Vegas

Two out of three correct statements is not to bad of an average. Guess which two are correct.

Talking to them now...Looks like i can change my ticket for just a small fee :)

Different dates tho, new years in the 3rd world country called Holland.

I know that battus leaves a dark cloud of econmic arguments behind him in almost every thread.... but c'mon the dude lost his ticket and you all start bitching about economics?

Good luck sorting your shit, battuss.

It certainly isn't a third world country. I believe it was a first world country before the US was a country.

:) good for you

Thanks dude, im still on hold but i think she fixed it for me :)

Funny that i have to change it in America while i live here :)

So just out of curiosity, was it Continental in the US that clued you in that you could do it for a small fee? Last I heard there was nothing you could do in Holland! Oh the irony ... :D

For some $800 you can fly from Amsterdam to LA tomorrow. Check cheaptickets.com.

First Miami then NY, THEN Vegas? Is that the route of your choice or did you go for the cheapest ticket available? Stops blow...

100 owned tards

WOOFUCKINGHOO

God bless America and Continental !!!

Im leaving Amsterdam the 1st, 3 pm and go back jan 11th. Anybody care to entertain me the last few days? I will be alone :)

The new ticket cost me 100 dollars. Thats like 15 euros :Graucho

Battus if you are going with continental i can get you a jump-seat, hit me up if you are interested.

OH NOOOO, guess i'll have to buy your german ass a beer then :)

Whats a jump seat?

3rd seat in the flight deck - cool experience to take-off and land sitting with the pilots :)

Haha no thanks :)

Glad you'll make the show Battus...I felt so bad after your OMG thread...you sounded excited like a little kid, lol.

On a side note, about stops...I like stops...but I have four kids, so every stop is another hour or two of peace for me, lol.
