Europe, Boring Until it's Not

I guess the USA is a socialist state too then.
From your own wiki link...

It’s leaning that way. Not only with the article you finally read (impressive list for the UK by the way), but with more citizens receiving benefits than not, and the taxpayers bailing out the financial sector. Privatized gains socialized losses, all that.

Why do you think Americans are so much better at spotting the lurking phantom of socialism than you Euros are? Because we’re constantly battling stealth socialism in the daily while you all consider it a norm.

Macron.

My phone can spell Idi Amin, no problem, but it’s going to fuck up Macron? Tells you all you need to know about Apple.
Pfft.

Tim Cook is a cock hound.

Pfft.

iOS 12 is set up for its speech-to-text to only correctly render "Macron" if you give it the limey-Christiane Amanpour-CNN-excessively-French pronunciation. It helps if you use an especially condescending tone and sniff a little bit. Mak-rawwwwwwn

Oh, I took the time to read it yesterday.
I also took the time to click on the individual companies listed to find out which ones have since been privatised or no longer exist. I also made note of which ones are profit making and contribute to the French treasury rather than being a drain on it.
None of these things you apparently did since you just slapped yourself on the back for the ''gotcha'' you feel you achieved.

Nah, I analyzed all the above, sequenced your DNA, and then read the entire A Brief History of Civilization while highlighting everything about France I could find in the text.

But like you, I'm not posting any evidence of my claims.


(which tells us precisely how much material you found to refute anything I hammered you with yesterday)

[Montegriffo]

There you go again with your self-proclaimed ''gotcha''.
Well, I guess someone has to take up St Capps' debating tactics since he only posts dick pics by PM these days.

[DBTrek]

You provide your own "gotcha" Monte, by consistently making unsubstantiated claims.
It's built into your arguments.


If you juggle balls half as well as you juggle spurious assertions you're bound for the hall of fame.

Actually, my skill lies in spinning.

I really hope you meant that as a self-deprecating joke. You've sure been putting spin on things in this discussion.

You can get jokes. Well done you.

Edit. I mistook you for Zlaxer. Please accept my apologies for patronising the wrong person.
