1 in 6 Europeans live below the poverty level: Study
 

This does not surprise me. This is one thread that noboday actually needs a reputable news source in order to believe. :2 cents:

yeh parts of eastern europe are very very poor. mainly the eastern bloc countries

Who needs to be wealthy when socialist governments take all the money from the rich and give them to the lazy son of a bitches in the form of free healthcare, free apartments, unemployment pay that rivals minimum wage and so forth and so forth.

better than usa with five of six USA'ns living below poverty threshold+ the poorest president of all nations

has nothing to do with Eastern Europe,
they are talking about NATIONAL POVERTY LEVELS

are you one of those who when fucked in the ass considers himself lucky just because the neighbor got fucked in the ass AND cum in the mouth?

no mr lenin , not al all

Why are you allowed to link to a forum in your signature? :)

what do you mean has nothing to do with eastern europe? when u said 1 in 6 europeans live below the poverty level.

I guess that would make me poor. :( But maybe Serge can adopt me. :)

read the article, nimrod.

no can do, but you are in my will!

He probably means that western europe also have people living under the poverty treshhold, an bringing up eastern europe is quite irrelevant.

TG,
the words National Level
kinda levels it alll off.

There Level of Poverty in Poland is not the same as Level of Poverty in France,
different tresholds, but we won't stop nimrods from making fools of themselves, shall we?
;)

those levels are relative, and so someone living in "poverty" in the UK is not the same thing as someone living in poverty in the third world. here in the UK there are lots of jobs, but also lots of people who don't want to work and prefer to live off the state, and hence the majority of people living in poverty in the uk, do so by choice.

but it is well known eastern europe is alot poorer than western europe and therefore brings the average of europe altogther down. but no i was called a nimroid. oh well live and learn from americas finest.

you wanna compare apples to oranges.

First solid argument,
bravo, nimrod you are NOT!

This is clearly proof that the ultra-rich earning over $100,000 a year should be taxed at no less than 110% of income.

both fruit. though different charachteristics. hey! just like europe, hey why not lets compare them. maybe we can then squash the apples and the oranges and have apple orange wine! a drink for the people in poverty

would i fit into winetalk with ideas like that?

Care to link to proof of this claim, I find it VERY hard to believe. Also poverty in America is considered rich in most of the world.

A quick search says about 12%, which is about 1 in 10 nowhere near 5 of 6
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty..._United_States

How can someone analyze some made up statistic? It's 60% of the median income? What make that "poverty" level, why not 50% or 75%? And what exactly is shocking about it, 1 in 6 make less than 60%, 1 in 6 probably make over 140% of the median income, and so probably 2/3rds make just average income... hardly shocking....
