Neruo, this is Earth. There are types of people that want to kill other people. There has to be a superpower with some sort of balls. I understand why you and so many others don't like the United States. You see us as people who use our power to just take whatever we want, when we want it. That view is nothing more than jealousy of our influence or misinterpretation. Its easy for you to say things like that because you are on the shit end of the deal, and you know it.
What you don't know, or choose not to believe, is that you live under the extended blanket of our protection.
By the way, Neruo, Holland's national debt is equivilent of 300 Billion dollars as of 2005. With those numbers, the average debt per person in Holland is $18,100 (Holland's 2005 Debt divided by 2007 population), and the average debt per person in the US is $26,400 dollars (Using 2007 statistics for the US). Considering how much more money our citizens make, you're no better than we are. What's wrong with Holland? Why do they owe so much money?
Also, the 'small' difference between 18,1000$ and 26.400$ is the difference between a healthy depth and an unhealthy one., (Are yor numbers even right, and I don't think they are corrected for the huge climb of the euro the last 7 years (from like 0.80$-1e to 1.40$-1e, that's a Huge difference, I am not sure how you correct for that).)
Even then, It doesn't really matter. I al was saying is that the American economy is fucked up, especially mortgages. That's a fact. And I laugh at it. Little room for debate there.
