    Will you all stop complaining and moaning and get some dignity back?

    I can't stand it. Can you get some dignity back? I am fed up with all this überdoom... I just would like to make a list of myths and facts and anybody pls fell free to enlarge it...

    Myth 1) - Our money is only made of houses

    Fact: What the hell are you talking about? The housing bubble is all over the world. House prices compared to salaries were not higher than many other european and american countries. If you really want to complain about something, you should really complain about the quality of them, often of lower standards.

    Myth 2) - Our country is full of foreigners

    Fact: then again you don't know what you are talking about. You are probably one of the country with the lowest immigration rate. Look at Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Spain... they have more immigration and even made of more poverty. Yet only you complain.

    Myth 3) - Our taxes are very high

    Fact: you are one of the country in Europe with the lowest taxation

    Myth 4) - Our politicians are the worst in the world

    Fact: oh really, should I just name a few in Europe?

    Myth 5) - We produce nothing

    Fact: there is not only manufacturing in this world as long as we are not going to return to a pure autarchic society where the only exchange is of physical goods. You still have the best service economy in Europe if not in the world.

    Myth 6) - Our currency is worth nothing

    Fact: it was the strongest one for 10 years or so and now it's only less than a year for which it dropped substantially. And so? You need to be always the strongest currency in the world?

    Myth 7) - We are sh1t at sports

    Fact: you don't win the world football tournament from 1966, true, but you are on the top at so many sports. What the hell do you want?

    Myth 8) - We are in full debt

    Fact: you are not different from many european countries. They all have huge levels of debt

    Myth 9) - Our health system is tulip

    Fact: well, no, actually that is right... well then again you can't be the best at everything.

    So, pls stop whining and get back to work so that you can get out of this situation or else you'll all be slapped.
    I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

          We ARE happy
          How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

              Leave us to wallow and whine in our ignorance, Please.

                  Francko,

                  If we listen to the likes of you we wouldn't be #1 at the last great British invention... Whinging.

                  Once this country loses the ability to whinge, we'll be truely fooked.

                    "Myth" 2 - Funny, been to Rome, Milan, Venice in last year, all seemed pretty Italian to me.

                    Did you ever go to South London 20 years ago and have you been there recently? Every little town and village in the South East is changing at the same frightening rate.
