They won't pay the same for domestic raw materials because they are a global market and thus it would make more sense to export raw materials if they devalue their currency.
More like one bunch of crooks was replaced by another bunch of crooks riding on the wave of nationalism. To make an analogy, imagine the most corrupt of Nixon's cabinet fighting over who gets to be the next president with no holds barred. This is more or less what happens in the Ukraine for the past 10 years.
And the route of Poland is basically to mooch off Germany. They receive the lion's share of EU subsidies, so much that even Greece is envious.
Czech Republic is a far better example of success and the Czech aren't nearly as smug about it.
Why it is so difficult to grasp? I don't have any scruples eating meat and my cholesterol is perfect so the doctor wouldn't mind. Nevertheless I hate beef and mutton and am mostly indifferent to pork. Chicken legs are okay and so is an occasional horse steak.
Mostly just too lazy to cook the meat the way I prefer so I just skip meat without any regret. But I bloody love gorgonzola on a sourdough rye bread with caraway.
Speak for yourself please. My body doesn't crave meat and i don't particularly like the taste of many meats, especially beef. I would take good cheese or nice rye bread or vegetables over meat any day. But meat is often cheaper, otherwise i'd probably eat meat once a week or so.
Well, it is difficult to take this piece of cold war propaganda for real when its numbers are often off by a factor 50 or so. Simple example: the guesstimates of Stalin's purges run up to 100 millions (would be half of the Soviet population, if one just stops and thinks about it). After the NKVD archives were released to the public in the 1990ies, it became pretty clear, that somewhat less than a million was executed and another 500000 died due to repressions. Still a huge number, but pales in comparison of how many Soviets were killed by Nazi Germany.
Even more ironic is the fact that at any given time during Stalin's rule there were about 3 millions of Soviet citizens imprisoned, which is not really that far off the number of currently incarcerated Americans - 2.2 millions, currently the largest prison population in the whole bloody world. Land of the free my arse.
But since you are usually as full of shit as a cesspit emptier, it is no wonder you spread that crap everywhere you can.
Bild is the worst example of German yellow press. I seriously doubt that people who are intelligent enough to install an ad blocker would read bild.de anyway.
So you had certain health problems that moved you to this diet. Doesn't mean it is good for the general population, and your argument for it makes you only look stupid.
P.S. my cholesterol has always been perfect thanks to regular exercise but an all meat diet would kill me.
Gas taxes don't even closely suffice to pay for all road repairs so these funds need to be taken from general taxes. Basically, cyclists (who don't damage the road) pay for car drivers as well.
Siberia is not north Russia, it is east Russia. In fact, Siberia is Asia and in 500CE would not see Russians for another 1000 years. Actual northern Russia was settled by Finn tribes back then, not Slavs.
There was no distinction between Russians and Ukrainians (and Belarusians too, by the way) until the late Middle Ages, when the Old East Slavic language started to drift apart into Old Russian and Ruthenian due to the area being divided by Lithuanian and Mongolian conquerors. The Lithuanian part much later became the Ukraine and Belarus, the Mongolian part later became Russia after Mongols were overthrown.
Then again, circa 500CE there were neither, it is way before Kievan Rus' was even founded, so at that time that area was just settled by Eastern Slavic tribes and Finns with some Viking settlements along the large waterways.
Yes, that's a remnant of Europe's dark times, where it was composed of totalitarian nation states engaging in protectionism and warfare. It's time to end that nonsense.
Food security is maybe the most important thing a government can do besides upholding the law.
And the "general population" gets what it wants, right? Whether it's burning witches, burning Jews, or burning GMO crops.
I wish they would burn stupid people so I don't have to explain to them what democracy is about.
The scientific fact is that most "recreational" drugs attach to certain receptors, which are meant for internal communication only. The euphoria you get from drugs is due to them being in far higher dosage than what the receptors normally expect.
This abuse leads to desensitisation, making it difficult for drug users to feel good naturally.
Besides, the argument that the brains are hardwired is kind of stupid. Your stomach is hardwired to be filled with hydrochloric acid, but that doesn't mean you should drink it.
Just FYI, the Red Scare was far, far stronger on your side of the pond (and in a very insular nation that is European in name only, but they seem to be scared of everything not of their island).
You have it quite wrong. EU is not big on consumer crap like Facebook or Twitter or whatever you consider "high tech", but when it comes to industry software there are enough local companies that provide it. And European mechanical and chemical engineering is at the very least on par with anyone else, and often actually better. In fact, large scale machinery, chemicals, drugs, food processing and packaging is what Germany and the Netherlands export to the USA.
Now pray tell me how european agriculture would collapse without american whatever? I think you are rather full of yourself, but you are welcome to prove me wrong.

Like which parts?

I mean, they make sense in a car, because they are light, but for a building a lead-acid battery would make more sense, wouldn't it?

You have killed far more than that in retaliation. It is time to stop and finally get over it.

For skipping bail actually.
Except they were. Several workers died while cleaning up the mess.

Nah, I meant that I had to quit running after an unrelated injury. I miss running a lot, though.

Don't say that.
I finished the C25K and wanted to start B210K, but then I took an arrow in the knee.

More like due to a possible psychosis. Nobody wants a hallucinogen crazed person starting a shooting spree because that person sees demons around.
