@Kiwiana Nah, you're right... Anyway, I think most of the problems caused by the EU can be blamed mostly on the euro. Or the fact that one currency is being imposed on many countries each with its own central bank, financial regulation, tax systems, etc., apart from differences in income, productivity... Some economists say that doesn't make much sense, and that either we get rid of the euro or work on these things. Even if I'm not an expert, the criticism makes sense to me. In some cases you gotta go all the way or forget about it.
Of course there are other things wrong in the EU, like the fact that sometimes European authorities seem like directive-happy bureaucrats with little or no connection to the people. If the national states are going to give up as much power as they've been giving up to the EU, then the Union needs more democratic credibility.

I may be a rather blindfolded kiwi in terms of hoe the EU works but I do sincerely hope that the EU recovers.....Like what JLazaroS said, the European Union isn't entirely a mistake, it has many advantages, and creating the European Union without merging the nations entirely must be an extremely difficult task that no other nations in the world has done before, so im not surprised mistakes have been made, all we can do really is learn from them.....

@JLazaroS
Seeing as how we all love eachother now, I doubt there is going to another war anytime soon.
So I say dissolve the EU, stop fucking up the economy.

@Johyy Well, in part. I understand why others might not want to join. The European Union has been a mess lately. On the other hand, I wouldn't say the EU is a political mistake altogether. Yeah, there have been many problems, and it's about time we rethink the EU. But we shouldn't forget that we're talking about an alliance of countries that have been fighting each other for centuries. A good chunk of both sides of WWI and WWII are in the EU. If the EU's bad, just think about the other ways that we Europeans have tried to get along with each other. Yeah, mostly they're much worse than the EU.
@Colloquor Oh. And, if the Greeks pay the loans, they're gonna give you, or @whiteandblue, your share?

There's a crazy law in Greece about property tax. It states that you do not have to pay tax over the structure and land when the house is not finished. So everyone there pull 10 tiles off of the roof and there you have it. Noone pays a penny in property tax.

@Colloquor Yeah, I don't think so either.
