    1.6M This is the total number of people seeking refugee in Germany, they immigrated here over the last 50 years, not during 2015/2016.
    So no, there was no sudden immigration wave of another 2M in recent years.

    The USA simply is content with importing. That is all. You could mine rare earth or what ever you want in Arizona, Texas, Nevada etc. without any concerns about the environment.
    Again, generators in wind turbines don't require rare earths. If you can not get them, you build them without. Plain and simple.

    I noticed that happens when one provides links to backup their claims.
    The modders don't read the links. Otherwise they had noticed: you did not read them either, or you had realized they don't back up your claims.

    Sorry that makes no sence.
    The last glacial period ended 16,000 - 12,000 years ago, depending how you count.
    If there was a 'cooling trend' it certainly has nothing to do with the next glacial period, which is several hundret thousand years away in the future. With current CO2 levels it is unlikely we get another one anyway.

    Your numbers are way off. You probably like to scare the americans away?
    In Germany the first 6k are tax free, but due to other things the point you start paying is 8200â
    On this table (scroll a bit down) https://www.gevestor.de/detail... you see in the middle the percentage of a given bracket (remember, there is a free part, 8200 is the first non free bracket but it only contains 200â, so 14% tax on those 200â yield the 27â to the right)
    Left side is the tax bracket, right side is the total tax (it is already accumulated bracket wise).
    Top tax rate in Germany is 41%. But you see: with an income of 50k you only pay 13k taxes.

    In Greece you need a health insurance. See?

    So your points are wrong. Claiming they have bad work moral is quite insulting, too.

    You know where this "mere" is comming from?

    In WWII, Greece was occupied by german forces. The country was under curfew, till roughly 8:00 in the morning. So when the officers finally arrived ad the "plakka" and sat down for a breakfast in a coffee shop, that plakka was already full with "lazy greeks" drinking coffee. So the german officers spread the myth: greeks never work. For some reason they were to dumb to realize that the greeks ignored the curfew and worked at night from 4:00 till 7:00/8:00 and then went for breakfast.

    Anyway ... if you think there are other countries that used the "scandinavian model" ... outside scandinavia, you are mistaken ...

    Yeah, and why do you think a "quick link" reflects reality?
    Germany has 80million inhabitants.

  19. Our local newspaper published a story of a couple who got pregnant 5+ years after the man had a vasectomy. Failure is extremely rare, but does happen.
    But not in the range of 1% not even 1 permille, probably one per million ... and as you do a "check" if all is fine after 4 to 6 weeks, a pregnancy after 5 years is like hitting a jackpot in a lottery.
