There are a lot of poor poor small countries in Europe.

wow that is crazy and very sad

At least we don't live on the streets or in shantytowns like people in the US.

Really, i am in the U.S and i live in a four bedroom house worth 650k/

You = OWNED.

so that means everybody in the US lives in 'a four bedroom house worth 650k'? :1orglaugh

funny thread glad I got ac :)

yep anyways if you drink water you are fine..:)

you live with parents

you = OWNED

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I heard that in Europe it's not so much the heat, but the unwashed underarm stink that does you in.
//end overused Euro cliché

Well according to what you said, yes. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Remember?

But but but.... at least i dont have to sig whore 50 hours a week at gfy so i can afford my studio aparment like you.

why do those threads always end up in a general country bashing? :helpme

When I was a kid I used to say: "Hey my father is better than yours!!" Then the discussion with the other kids that were with me started....
"NO!! my father is better, stronger etc..." and so on for a little while without ever being able to compare my father with the other fathers. I was talking shit because I was ignorant......

I have that "déjà vu"' feeling when I read all those posts about how "better" that country is and how "a shit hole" is the other. All supported by people who seem to be very limited in general culture. Of course, many people are great in their replies as they bring good sens and intelligent inputs to the discussion...God bless them :thumbsup


I simply have a hard time understanding why some people here are so aggressive and violent in their words for no good reasons...... :Oh crap

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

the lack of intelligence in this thread is amusing...

I also occasionally fly out to poland to fuck 18 year old hookers.

You dont' have a sister do you?

exactly...

Its funny such statement is made by somebody from US...very funny to say the least..

and he SCORES!!! :thumbsup

lol i didnt say that look at the names from your quotes :upsidedow

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh
You get my point right.

Any one making a point that generlizes a whole country of people, is an idiot,

What a sad, stupid thread...
The people who died were the ones who couldn't afford to shell out $1000 for an A/C...
It's not that easy to scrounge up that much money for a temporary and rare temperature condition...
In any country...
I'm in Montreal, on a 15 level, 200+ apartment building.. Current temperature outside is 32C, current temperature inside is 34C... Yet only 10% of us actually have A/C units.. Not everyone can afford the luxury...

It's not. In the winter we have to fight with polar bears every day and now in the summer we have to deal with the insane heat :(

So don't come here, stay in the US.

aha! it was a test!


And yea i agree :pimp

whatever - edited - alex is not worth my time

Sure i am, you took the time to write a detailed post about me.

And then edit it.

And then mention my name saying i am not worth your time.

You envy me man, because i can spend as much time on gfy and not have to make a post quota to pay my rent.

Amusing that someone actually feels the need to comment on a house value - $650K acutally means nada for two reasons:

(a) It would not buy shit elsewhere.

(b) If this house is in the US... In 2003 the assessment of the US total national debit by the US Treasury estimated that 94% of homes and contents were owned by other nations. ie.. who is owned? At this time, hell know what it is, but gotta be a lot worse.

The stuff about people dying... some ain't got a clue till it hits em.

YOU = oficially IDIOT for thinking that I need signature money to pay rent

Anyone who thinks that a person with huge postcount must be either a player or a sig whore is an IDIOT.

BTW you don't have to worry about paying rent, becaue you = living with parents, so you = OWNED.

:glugglug

btw Alex I am not the one who is lying to GFY'ers about certain things :Graucho

the 1995 Chicago heatwave, during which 739 people died in one week. ...

Chicago population of 2.9 million
739 dead in one week


France population of 60 million
15,000 dead in one month.


Both work out to 0.0025% But the deaths in france were spread over a month.

So old people were 4 times more likely to die in Chicago than France
on any one day over the period of the heatwave.




Its around 100 degrees here today, but I've got my aircon on.. Damn someone in Spain with Electricity.

please don't try to be smart, it ruins the thread.



;))))

Live in Florida for a while if you want to get an idea of what heat and humidity is like. Like most other things you get used to it. A/C here is a neccessity but you realize that you rely on it less than you would if you lived in a place that isn't hot most of the time.

15k in France and 20k in Italy is bullshit...
they just like to be dramatic, how else is it possible to explain the difference between these two and Spain with 101 dead? I was here in 2003 and went to France it was just as hot, even hotter in the south of Spain.

It would be interesting to see how many old people died in 2004, probably around the same as 2003...

I think it's because in Spain we're more used to it. In Italy and France it hit the northern cities, alot of humidity aswell, Spain's a dryer heat.
