You seem also to have problems to think of a proper topic for a thread...

the damnit € sucks ass, everthing got so expensive. I wanna have the good old DM back

No, you wont. Also, buy your stuff in countries that have the dollar, you get things cheaper there. Also, even with the DM, due to the infloation rate you would pay the same prices then today. Some price rasing is self made, like the milk prices, thanks to a milk quota that was adopted in the 70s while too much milk was produced and it was too cheap, now there isnt enough milk poruction and the prices go high.

Its a global think, I bet its not diffrent in other states. Hell, the Netherlands have 20-24 % Taxes on Goods like a lot of other countries too, go there and buy some stuff, come back and tell me where you payed more.

Anyway, the Euro is pretty strong, no one belived that would happen so soon. I also dont think the increase in price reates will continue forever.

Anyway, so, he compares that Euro Statue with a Soviet monument? Hmm....if thats true, I welcome out new Socalist Overloards. :P

I figured that type of art was a little out of place in this century.

There is a beauty of that style of art deco/eastern bloc art, the lines on it are pleasing to the eye.

Adding to what Havoc said its also beause you had lots of hidden price incrases when you changed money. Blame greedy peoples not only the euros.

[Venom PL]

For me this statue looks fine.

That's me - this pic was taken in April 2006.

[Subsonic]

The statue is very much of the 'socialist heroic' school. Fits perfectly with what the EU is all about.

Why do you have a problem with it??
Personally, I think your thread is a little out of place in this forum, your clearly just trying to flame for whatever reason you have against the Euro.

Shuuuuush! Many Americans will end up hating her too, once they realize where she's from.

x2 although between the two i have to say Art Deco is more beautiful. Just play through Bioshock and you'll understand.'

edit: seriously, why the hell don't we make buildings as beautiful as the ones from the 20's-40's anymore? I wish we had more buildings like the Chrysler Building, the Empire State building, the Seven Sisters, etc. than the blocky crap that exists today

[RadarGreg]

I think the statue is titled, "Tax Collector Plucking the Last Euro From the Worker's Pocket".rofl

Looks like this woman is going to finish those men, obviously begging for mercy , using Euro she hold in her hands, on second thought she may already took the iron heart of the European man and forged it into Euro and then she is gonna to smack their heads with this Euro heartlessly... Whatever interpretation I bet its a divine prophecy of how bad this Euro experiment will end...

You sir, is an uneducated monstrosity here, not the beautiful early Soviet avangard statue of Worker and Peasant. It's not surprising that EU statue has a similar theme. Euro sign is just like Hammer and Sickle, which represents hard work of proletariat, but while Soviet piece shows healthy Russian/Ukranian/Belorussian man and a woman, representing equality between men and women, EU piece shows fallen European male, reaching out for help. It's like he's saying, "B*tch, let's have some children, otherwise Muslims and Arabs will out populate us and we will fade into history, while woman is holding Euro sign, signaling for all third-world people to come to Europe and destroy evil European culture. So which statue is a perverted monstrosity here?

You got it all wrong. The woman is Erika Steinbach and the subdued men are Poles like you rofl

[Herrmannek]

I got it all alright. If you are looking for real men in Europe, you won't find them outside Poland. Add this and the obviously bad character of the Erika and you'll get to my interpretation :)

You can try something with ducks on it. I heard that some judges consider it as a sign of devotion to our great leaders and their cause. But it is a duble edged sword. Some think that by wearing them you show where you realy have our beloved leaders and ideal country they are fighting for. rofl
