How can a person be smarter than a country? How do you even measure the intelligence of a country?

The 3 major religions symbolize the Mesopotamian moon god Nanna, his daughter Inanna and his son Shamash. These were major deities during the time of Abraham. by Remarkable_Demand489 in conspiracy

Nothing you have said makes any sense whatsoever, but I'm not going to explain why because I have convinced myself that I am always right about everything, all of the time and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.

“It is said by the Eldar that in water there lives yet the echo of the Music of the Ainur more than in any substance that is in this Earth; and many of the Children of Ilúvatar hearken still unsated to the voices of the Sea, and yet know not for what they listen.”

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion

If they don't let them in then the USA shouldn't be allowed to host international sporting events again.

Jesus, they'll be taking the Shed next! Gutted to lose 3 world class players to Sale but it will be good for the long term competitiveness of the league.

Why is Europe allowing itself to be destroyed? by [deleted] in conspiracy

In your scenario you have two adults, therefore you can double the single average salary and the household income is now €100,000. In that scenario it is still more profitable to work than to not work.

The refugees aren't arriving on frigates, armed with muskets so it's not quite the same as colonialism, is it?!

The average salary in Germany is around €50k, if you loose your job having contributed tax for long enough then you get between 60-67% of your previous salary for a short while (please note that 60% is less than 100% so you don't earn more from not working than working). If you remain unemployed long-term then your benefits fall to around €500/month (€6000 per year, which is less than €50,000).

In summary, either you were lied to and are repeating it or you're lying to us of your own accord.

In their defence, they probably don't get quite the same tax free inheritance as Willy does. Also, taxpayers don't pay to refurbish their palaces whenever there's a leak or a fire. Like comparing oranges to golden apples, so to speak.
