The thing is, if people wanted to, they could retire at 40 or 50. If people choose to be a 9-5 slave all their life then expect to work later, of course. It makes sense if our population is getting...

In terms of international tourists Paris' number falls to 15.2 million (I guess the French must love visiting their own capital city, figures) with London only 500,000 behind with 14.7 million. Still...
As far as I'm aware these changes haven't happened. Regardless, if you look at the past crests for Real Madrid, a cross didn't appear on it until 1942. Anyway, these changes aren't anything to do...
Hispanic people was a term coined by the US government - I'm not sure when - to identify the growing immigration from Central, Southern America and the Caribbean, essentially if you came from any...
If you look at alcohol, especially in the UK where binge drinking is a problem, look at how people act, how they speak to others, and how they compose themselves in public. They abuse people...
Remember when the US and a lot of other countries didn't allow Black people to marry white people? You go ask a kid in British school these days and I bet you they wouldn't have even thought such...
I am a native English speaker, I've learned French since I was 11, German since I was 12, Spanish in university and Italian for a year during university.
SPANISH - By far my most favourite foreign...
I don't think the 'Israel is not geographically part of Europe' argument is valid. I see the E.U. one day expanding beyond the traditional 'European' borders. I mean look at turkey, 97% of it is in...
The British royal family is also the Scottish royal family, so how could they break away from the UK completely? It most certainly is not going to be a repeat of Yugoslavia....we're civilised people....
Very Surprised by the Spain statistic, would have expected a lot more of them to know English, at least more than France!
I find this idea of a 'fat tax' absolutely insane! Just because some idiots out there who eat themselves until they're 300 pounds in weight, doesn't mean everyone else should suffer. What about the...
Yeah it really really really does NOT rain that much in England - evidence? - they have issued yet another hose pipe ban in southern England because of DROUGHT.
I think the reason most people...
I think the best of France has to be the food, wine and romantic image. Also the language, the second most learned language - and I get the feeling people learn French because they want to, as...
First of all the question doesn't make sense in English. It should be "What makes Europeans similar to each other", between each other doesn't make sense.
To put it in the smallest nutshell,...
I think given geographical closeness, these two countries are bound to be very similar.
Can't people just be happy being part of the UK?
I get really angry at people who are pro-Scottish independence. All of them are of the same mindset - English imperialists reigning over us 'taking...
It is only natural that as Europe (the E.U.) work closer together, they need to find one way of communicating. I both agree and disagree with your 'it has little or nothing to do with America'...
Because of the size of the US domestic market, it is only natural that people from all over the Anglosphere come to work and produce in the US often on movies that are set in America or have an...
I both agree and disagree with the minimum wage. On one hand, yes it provides people with a standard of living but on the other hand does it strangle an economy when it's at it's weakest. In the UK...
Most probably in the future when the EU grow closer and closer to being the United States of Europe.
Yes but not now. The next evolution of mankind will see groups of countries all over the world uniting, just like the EU today. I think it's inevitable that the EU will expand into areas of the old...
I totally agree that Catalonia should by all means get its independence, but not now. Maybe when they create a United States Of Europe they could apply for 'statehood' just like I think Scotland,...
No the European Union/ the Eurozone will only work when the countries can put their differences aside and start to work as one nation. It's either all or nothing. What they are doing right now is...
Absolutely, if they join us they won't join THEM. So what if they are muslim? They will just assimilate to European culture and lose their religiosity anyway. Yes they would have one of the biggest...
French - I can almost see why people think it's a 'beautiful' language but when it's sung, it sounds awful! It's something to do with that harsh 'R' sound and the way they pronounce their 'Es' it...
