Gold leader Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 Going for the all-time view-to-post ratio record here. From today on every dutch citizen older than 6 can acquire the so-called "euro kit", containing the different euro coins. They are meant to help people to get used to the new coins before the official euro introduction at 1 jan. Authorities expect a "mild chaos". I think it's going to be worse. Mild chaos is created when you give dutch people free yoghurt samples as an advertisement. Extreme chaos is what you get when you give them free money.

Nitro Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 My cousin's girlfriend is Dutch... There'll be a massive rush for the money, and then they'll all buy mayonnaise for their fries, and deplete the national mayo reserves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Nine Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 I never did like the Euro. I dunno how it's gonna affect Europe's economy. It's supposed to standardize currency, but I don't know just how long it will take to get fully integrated. I can understand why England is keeping its pounds.

Gold leader Posted December 14, 2001 Author Share Posted December 14, 2001 I happen to hate mayonnaise. I think that England will switch to the euro within 10 years, provided it is not going to be a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nute Gunray Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 I am violently anti-EU. Stupid Europe thinks it can mess with the US by ganging up on us! Ah, but the US always wins because we always cheat. We won the Cold War by cheating you know. We make up a treaty saying you can only have a certain about of missiles and everyone loves it. What do we do? Put 15 warheads in a single missile while no was paying attention. Suddenly we have a 15 to 1 advantage. We get an airbase for B-52s 25ish miles from the Soviet Union in Turkey. The Soviets try to station missiles 100 some miles from us in Cuba and we threaten to spew nuclear weapons in every direction. They try building a base in Grenada and we invaded. Soviets try to resupply Egyptian forces fighting the Israelis and we tell them to back off or we'll nuke their asses into some pre-stone age state. What was I talking about? oh yeah. and that's why i feel a full nuclear strike on Europe--wait, that's not right either. I feel, through my extensive studies of the EU (I WENT TO THEIR WEBSITE, BOY DOES IT LOAD SLOW), that the Euro will fall apart thanks to US and Japanese wrangling and using the British and the Swiss(!) to drive it apart. What you think Market #1 and Market #2 are going to sit on their hands while Market #3, #4, #6, and a bunch of others try to band together to make the largest free market in the world?

Flying Beastie Posted December 17, 2001 Share Posted December 17, 2001 Actually, I prefer the loonie. On one side, we have the image of the Queen, the traditional symbol of the monarchy. On the other, we have a loon, the traditional symbol of madness. Tells you all you need to know about Canada, right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
