Europe may be slowly disappearing under Africa: research

So......in a way......Glenn Beck was right?

* The emphasis is SLOWLY.
* Beck is as 'right' as McCarthy and made one hell of lot more money.

rgwalther, the sad thing is there are people who still think McCarthy was justified and even sadder, some who still think he was right. There is no convincing the paranoid. Maybe one day we'll have a pill for it.

I've already created a pill for it. It's 2 inches in diameter and whoever swallows it chokes to death.

McCarthy was right about 2 things:
1) Hollywood and the universities WERE full of communist sympathizers and wannabes, because it was fashionable back then, and
2) The allies faced a real danger in Korea and needed to commit themselves, which they belatedly did.

I suppose it was also proper to quash the hysteria he generated, but that does not mean he was wrong. And his efforts produced public support for the Korean war, by presenting the prospect of an enemy in our midst who was invading our allies abroad.

You all like feel-good propaganda dont you? Thats why it is necessary to foist it, to mobilize you against the paranoids who like to fall for the paranoid stuff. One group against the other- its the only way to get anything done in this world. Battling sheep- thats always funny. All that excited baaaaa-ing-

Starry-eyed idealists 1-rate me because I state the whole truth. Is your ideology so important that it takes precedent over facts? Apparently.

WHAT IS IS. Why cant THAT be your ideology? Why cant the WHOLE truth be what you believe in, what you stand for?

Why dont you go back and re-educate yourselves about mccarthy and the cold war, you know scrape off the gummy propaganda you fell for and see if you can make some sense of it? That is if youre not too lazy or too comfy in your little dreamworld.

This is the best long term solution and news I've heard in a long time. My hope it take all the progressive and socialist EU ideas and people with it. Only one problem what the hell to do with that basket case continent Africa, well it can't be any worse than the EU!

And please care to explain how a young continent like america knows any better than its parent that has developed a modern society for much longer?
But hey dont worry, your corrupt capitalist tentacles are starting to find its way into europe and asia, happy?
And care to explain how the living standard is much higher in europe than it is in the USA?
Ooh wait maybe modern socialism is actually good for the poeple of the country. Maybe it is good to have an ideology for improving living on earth. How else would you be using your computer if it wasnt for pregessive mindsets?

Care to explain otherwise?

TheGhostofOtto1923 describes himself pretty well. Too bad he doesn't realize it.

Continental plates cannot subduct as the continents themselves are too light. Once the land masses lock together any subduction ceases. So where is this new subduction zone supposed to occur?

Uh who you talking to frank? Your navel?

I know this is in bad taste, but I can't help myself. Does anyone else find it ironic that there is a large number of people fleeing Africa to Europe (see http://www.physor...s.html), and perhaps one day the European continent will be under Africa? I know the time span is extremely large for geological events compared to human life, but I just found this amusing.

Odd view, but will not argue other than to say that anyone who cares what an actor's political views are would problably vote for Arnold, or Adolph...
Most popular SS quote in Spring of '45, "I am not a Nazi, I am Swiss..."

Look up Human Development Index on wiki if you like. It is the United Nations anual rating system. The numbers for 2010 are available already. I have a little trouble with the way they do it though. Lumping all of the US into one big bucket is a little deceptive. It's a big country.

Another thing that stands out to me is the big jump between the relatively good places and the others. The difference between the US, Canada, Australia, and the EU is very small and could even be subject to some random data noise. Then you have the next step down, like Mexico, Portugal and Lybia. There's a BIG difference between Norway and Lybia. I would say that the differences between the EU and the US are so small as to be inconsequential. Boasting about how one is better than the other is silly. At least neither of us is India.

Here's a good layman's test:

If you live in a country where you have the time and money to sit around bitching about liberal versus conservative politics on the internet, then you do not have anything to really worry about.

As an African, I must say that I very much appreciate the irony in this headline. One can only only hope that this trend is replicated on all fronts. Nothing personal, Europe, it's just a continental-plate-eat-continental-plate world out there :D

Tectonic justice?

When there's no more Europe, when the last tiny bit of it slides under, where do you think all those Europeans will go? I'm sure glad there's a nice big ocean between them and US!! Enjoy your new neighbors. By the way, if California goes down, would you be intersted in taking a few of them too? We'll pay for the transportation!
