We've made a significant progress though. In terms of social rights, I think Europe is way better than the US. | ||

What's good about the EU is when a moron like that gets elected they don't rule all of the EU. Things are different with US presidents. Their power is greater. | ||

Some people make children until they have sons. Women are paid less and aren't considered to be equal to men. In brief, India's society is somewhere in the 19-20th century when compared to Europe? Article: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-india-women-rights/india-has-21-million-unwanted-girls-due-to-preference-for-sons-idUSKBN1FJ1PN Why on earth are you posting this in the EU thread? Also this is hardly new. We saw the same, and much worse, during China's one child policy. | ||

It kind of kickstarted a generation of middle class individuals that's missing in India. Related talk from a LSE prof | ||

Do you realize that every big player in Europe wants Berlusconi to win the upcoming elections because he 'stands for Europe'? It's really funny and pathetic how people like Merkel were bashing him non-stop and now they are like 'please win' :D | ||

Putin has gas. Will you use your moral sense to warm millions of houses? As an example, if Putin stops selling gas to Italy we have enough for 15 days only. | ||

I understand your opinion, but the EU has allies who will help with more diverse access. That's what we should do so we don't depend on a country with 19th century politics (Ukraine, Crimea, etc). | ||

Well, what do you expect? We only have right-wing neoliberals and far-right neoconservative no-border parties that believe that freedom is the right of russian oligarchs to fuck over their own working people and then use that money to speculate on housing in the West in exchange for resources, while demanding that "our own" rich are finally allowed to assrape everyone with the West even more, so that they can "stay competitive". Though I guess I'm too harsh, some of the social-democrats and conservatives are just genuine esoterism-fanatics that believe that money is not a resource of its own and values and prices are not a matter of human demands and therefore of wealth, but just happen equally for some ying-yang reasons. | ||

US and Azerbaijan offer resources to the EU. Probably more countries that I don't know about. We need more diverse access. | ||
