    really, is the EU like that? i seriously made a fucking dad joke, based on a premise that i've heard a million times, mostly from actual professional comedians, and somehow that's going to shut down the european continent?

    You may not have intended it in a malicious way- I won't try to judge your intent. But you repeated and furthered a highly anti-Semetic trope- the greedy, moneylender Jew. So many times throughout history that has lead to tragic consequences.

    In a time of rising a anti-Semitism, given the history of Jews being persecuted for being moneylenders, your comment would have been highly offensive to some people. Willingly or not, you advanced the cause of Jew hatred by feeding into an age old prejudice that has caused enormous suffering.

    Along life's highway, perhaps you could read Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice". Then go to see a professional performance on stage.

    does anyone actually take that stereotype seriously these days though? in my lifetime, i don't think i've ever even heard it referenced in a way that wasn't meant as a goofy joke.

    Speaking of the debt, does anyone remember a while back there was consideration of the US Mint producing a $1 trillion coin and depositing it at the Federal Reserve? I think the idea was to do an end run around Congress, which was threatening to shut down government at the time. A novel idea.

    I complained that money is a fictional concept and if nations on earth are in debt, who or what is that debt actually going to. So I said in the concept of debt on earth, who does earth owe money to? Jupiter?

    Then it was composed that of course it would be... Jupiter. :p but with an "ew" in there somewhere.

    At the end of the day, the EU can make the most financial most extreme day about the that fact.

    We Brits should all be about unification, which has always been what we've been about.

    Whatever the American's have ever boasted about, we British have always in some way or another helped them Americans to succeed.

    We Brits absolutely and utterly love you Yanks, through and through 100%.
