    2. Do you really think small arms are going to overthrow a government? Against tanks, helicopter gunships, jet fighters, heavy artillery, tactical nukes? At the very least you're going to need RPGs and the like.
    An RPG is classified as small arms. Small arms are anything that are usually transported and fired by a single soldier.
    So, basically anything you can carry around in Grand Theft Auto?

    (Half-life 2, no: I'm quite sure the zero-point energy device doesn't count as small arms.)

    Over here, school shootings are this bizarre thing that could never, ever happen - yet in America you guys actually need metal detectors in schools just to curb the problem. I find it truly fascinating.
    Do you live under a rock? Except for Virginia Tech, the worst school shootings (by pupils) took place in Europe. Two in Germany, two in Finland, off the top of my head.

    Finland has rather relaxed gun laws; Germany not so much.

    That article is pretty worthless. I'm convinced the average European (whoever that is) would be equally flabbergasted if they had to answer a question like "how long does it take for USD 100 to double at an interest rate of 20%" (I guess they were looking for the straightforward guess "5 years" rather than an exact calculation anyway).

    The financial trouble with Americans is that they don't understand debt because it's an integral part of their lifestyle. If you judge people by their credit rating instead of their wealth, you are bound to screw up like that. "Leasing" is a typically American concept, for example: you get something right now, have to pay >100% of its worth across the next X years until you actually own it -- unless its use directly creates a benefit for you (e.g. if it's a car and you have no car but need one for work), you're effectively wasting money for an "instant reward".

    That kind of financial ill-thinking is spreading like a plague these days, in Europe too. Micro-credits are probably the biggest threat, because they suggest to the buyer that they can get something expensive now for cheap instead of having to actually save money and wait until they can afford it. The trick being that the sum of all rates is considerably bigger than the regular price.

    As soon as you get used to paying in rates for luxury goods and status items (SUVs, stereos, TV sets, smart phones, etc), you can quickly accumulate a large number of them, padding your short-term fixed expenses to a nasty sum. The instant you lose your job or have unexpected expenses (e.g. pregnancy, lawsuits, healthcare if you're American or live in a third world country), you are economically screwed and have to declare bankruptcy.

    Of course this all isn't uniquely American anymore. It's true for many Europeans these days, but it's still part of the spread of "Americanisation". It's interesting for the industry because it creates disposable income where there really is none (consumers use money they don't have) and it's great for banks because they don't have to pay interest to their customers but can instead charge interest themselves. It's terrible for the consumer, though, because they're kept in perpetual debt and made to believe that this is a Good Thing (tm).

    Sure. But average european is not flabbergasted by e.g. taking precaution of after-business-life retirement. We are also not so tempted to use dubious credits and buying everything via deferred payment, all that is utterly moronic stupid.

    But what do I tell, I don't live in a mixed 1st/3rd-world country like you americans, loser.

    We have leasing here, too. But we know when and how many and where the end it. Average european does not lose track. But average american does. No wonder you can't tell south africa from south america and don't know that germany is united again, suckers.
    That kind of financial ill-thinking is spreading like a plague these days, in Europe too.
    Not fucking yet, but in general I hate that american virus and how dumb moronic people love america for being america and not for landscapes. The day europe becomes like the US will be the day I'll I send all of our european leaders anthrax, fuckers.
