LOL ok chief.. enjoy paying 52% in taxes to support "stay at home" "men" and relying on the government to tell u how to live ur life.
In the meantime, I'll go back to enjoying my economic freedom and work on my startup while my wife stays home and takes care of our kid the way it should be.

"economic freedom".. give me an example of a modern country that lacks economic freedom.. and dont give me examples of regulations prohibiting irresponsible or oppressive behaviors.. cuz you dont have the freedom to fuck with other peoples lives.. and dont give me examples of high tax rates either.. thats an example of economic disincentive.. or better stated forced economic contribution to the betterment of society.. not really related to freedom per se.. your free to do what you pplease so long as you contribute some of the profit to the system that provides you with the freedoms and infrastructure and safeguards necessary to operate your business and so long as you arent behvaing in a oppressive or irresponsible/damaging way..

mixed babies are always gorgeous children !! you know if its gonna be a boy or girl ??

Do you really think we pay 52% taxes? Where did you get that piece of "information". I pay half of that.
And what's bad about staying home, playing Xbox and getting paid for it?

ah I see, Alex couldn't just start a conventional "I'm going to be a father" thread, he has to smuggle it in with a lame excuse that ALL European countries are the same ;)
First of all CONGRATULATION ALEX!!
And second and this is just a bit of information, not all European countries are the same, I get exactly 3 days off ;) while my wife having the second baby now hopefully in 7 month could (if she works) stay 6 month at home, very little paid.
And i really fail to see why you make fun of sweden for a very good idea, at least sweden doesn't pay half of the tax income on a pointless war and the miliary but instead try to achieve a social state and gives fathers the option to stay home with the wife for some time, you see soon how hard it sucks that you have to back to work.

One of the many reasons I admire Germans, they are very effecient...But you do work the least.
http://digitaljournal.com/article/325429
Sydney- A new OECD study has found that the hours worked around the world are very different. Interestingly, the richest countries work far shorter hours than the poorest. Greece has the longest hours of any European country.
The extremely catty, cynical unforgiving employment market has created some very ironic situations. The Greeks blame Germany for the hated austerity imposed on them by the European Union. The OECD chart published by the BBC tells the story. The Germans work 1408 hours per year, as opposed to the Greeks’ 2017. Norway, usually credited with the top standard of living in the world, works 1413. The US averages 1695 and Australia 1687.
(Only 1687? I work 7 days a week, 2688 hours, which is 1001 hours more than the Australian average and 970 hours more than the OECD average. That’s allowing 20 days off which I usually don’t take. Being self-employed brings with it a few extra hours, too. Meanwhile- Get off it, you bludgers.)
A range of factors, notably downsizing, “doing more with less” (and doing it incredibly badly) and the ideological commitment of some outdated Western dinosaurs, particularly in the United States to wage poverty has warped the market. China, sadly, isn’t measured because it’s not an OECD member. The lower wage earners definitely work much longer hours, but it’d be an interesting picture.
The wages and profitability fallacy
The fact that two of the world’s most efficient economies, Germany and Norway, work only two thirds of the hours of the least efficient should mean something to someone. Workers in these countries have better price structures, better wages and longer life spans. They’re also very prosperous countries and allow their workers time off, too. The Germans also take 40 days off per year including annual paid leave and public holidays.
It is an obvious fallacy that wages somehow reduce profits. Primitive job design and megalomaniacal employment policies have contributed a lot to the decline of Western living standards and wages. Apparently the simple idea of designing a job to deliver profits with technology and productivity hasn’t yet dripped down to the micro-intellects in the US and the Western countries which slavishly follow its self-destructive model. You’d swear you were watching the Flintstones when American conservatives talk about labor costs.
Germany and Norway are hardly communist states. They provide for their people, however, and their taxes pay for services, not merely insane politicians. France, also very near the bottom of hours worked, also has a system of benefits for its citizens. (The French system gets a lot of criticism from the French, but France isn’t exactly a hick country, either.)
Check out your hours and see how you rate. You may be surprised or horrified, but compare your hours to the rest of the world. It’s an interesting experience.

wiggs, germany is fucking shit, dont believe the media bs.
i live in switzerland and heres hundreds of thousand german immigrants and workers who want nothing but to get away from germany.
i work with some germans.
the economic export boom benefits nobody but big corp sharholders.
the average german people get fuck all.
wages are kept low artificialy to bost export.
the low unemployment is because of the socalle 1 euro jobs, where ppl work for fuck all.
only very few benefit from the "strong economy".
do you know their income tax rates?lol.
do you know whats left after mandatory insurance and income tax are deducted from wage?
some 40% of gross income.thatll be 1000euros a month for average earners.
with that they have to pay housing, food, car, car insurance and gas, gas is about 8-9usd a gallon in germany.
and they dont work little, germans are work animals, very dedicated, very hard workers.
Dude, I lived there six years and I speak the language. I love it. If I had work there, I wouldn't be in the U.S. FACT!!!!!!!
-
lol, i guess you were stationed there as us army, thats not the same as living there with a job.
Air Force and my ex is German...I understand what you mean, and I know all about the taxes and everything else. I didn't live on base. I had to pay for heating oil and all the bs...still would rather live in Germany 100/100 times.

LOL thanks chief... I usually make a solid distinction between the Iles and mainland; hence not being part of the gay-ro-zone...
Nevertheless.. sweden, norway, denmark, finland... countries with good genetics lineage but their pussyfication is way too strong for my taste. Germany is probably the only place aside from the Isles I would consider living...
End of the day I don't live there but it grosses me out to see good talents wasted in socialism.. then again, a decent chunks move to the US anyway... for a better life ironically...

"But the most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly and with unflagging attention. It must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over. Here, as so often in this world, persistence is the first and most important requirement for success."

I want to move to northern Europe if possible to increase my chances of marrying a Nordic Grade A Blonde Pussy. The genetic mishmash we got here in Canada is quite simply fucking gross.
We have mostly British genetics, which is an aesthetic abomination. And the French keep to themselves in Quebec, and they're not very hot either.
...the closest thing we have here to drop dead sexay blonde ass is Russians, but they're fucking nuts.

Exactly. Its all an illusion..only a tiny lucky percentage of the population is able to take advantage of all the opportunities and perks this country has, to live life to the fullest...while the vast majority struggles to get by. In other words, same as most of the rest of the world.

The Code of Laws of the United States of America[1] (variously abbreviated to Code of Laws of the United States, United States Code, U.S. Code, or U.S.C.) is a compilation and codification of the general and permanent federal laws of the United States. It contains 51 titles[2] (along with a further 4 proposed titles[3]). The main edition is published every six years by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel of the House of Representatives, and cumulative supplements are published annually.[4][5] The current edition of the code was published in 2006, and according to the US Government Printing Office, is over 200,000 pages long
Apparently americans do too.

i was in quebec for a few weeks and i thought those french females were outstanding 8) but if you're into blue-eyed blondies then i can see where your coming from, since the average french female is slim, petite, with brown hair and brown eyes
and you're right about russian girls, in general they are batshit crazy, and in fact it's not just them, but slavic girls in general

No mate what you have is the best blood being British. Think yourself lucky you piece of shit.

i'm in the us of a.
a spouse's child birth falls under a diagnosis accepted by the FMLA act that reserves a man's job to take paternity leave. Most company's have you use the sick time you earn during that stretch. Applies to adoption as well, if i'm not mistaken. so the gov gets a cut of your sick time that you earn, instead of them giving you a bonus? (which i think they do come tax season any way... could be wrong) i'm confoosed.
If i'm a pussy for wanting some of my money back from the gov to initiate the life long depussification process (or the stay off the stripper pole/bb circuit initiative, for girls) of my newborn who would otherwise be at tit and beckon call with mommy... then so be it. better than having an emo kid, or worse, a jephrius.

Well, the Vikings did have a peaceful agreement with the English for a stretch of 20years. In return for a progressively increasing monterey tribute, the Vikings left the English be in peace.
Although for the most part, Ireland and the English were brutally raided, murdered, and enslaved.
