The EU is not a country. It's a trading block.

Since the beginning!

The EU is not a country. It's a trading block.

We even have a typical trading block -anthem, flag and currency. Driving licences and passports are typical trading block -licenses with flags and shit.

driving licences and passports

Cool man, I´ve only a German passport and a German driver license. Where can I buy a Yurp passport? LOL

You have no constitution.

You have no embassies.

You have no seat at the UN.

Nobody in the world knows who's the "President" of the EU.

You have nothing other than confederate script, a flag, a CD of Beethoven's 9th, and a building of do-nothing people in Brussels.

Face it. The EU is a trading block. A failing trading black at that.

Where's the EU's seat at the UN?

Trading blocks are not present at the UN.
The EU is:

The EU and the UN: a wide-ranging partnership

Relations between the EU and the United Nations have developed over time into a rich and diverse network of co-operation and interaction, spanning virtually the entire range of EU external relations. The main areas in which the UN is active today – such as promoting international peace and security, promoting respect for human rights, protecting the environment, fighting disease, fostering development and reducing poverty – are also priorities for the European Union.

The UN, with its universal mandate and legitimacy, is uniquely placed to advance global solutions to our common challenges. Strengthening co-operation with the UN and with the specialized agencies is thus an important priority for the EU as a whole, as was underlined by the Göteborg European Council of June 2001 and as was reinforced more recently by the European Council of December 2003 as well as in the context of the EU preparations to the UN Summit in September 2005.

The European Commission, for its part, is committed to working closely with the United Nations across a wide range of policy areas – from conflict prevention and human rights to development and humanitarian affairs, from trade policy to social policy. This co-operation takes the form both of EC financial support for UN programmes and projects and of policy dialogue and participation by the Commission in various UN forums.

Hey Uncle, I would say a shot in your own knee . Who´s really proud of an UN seat

Nobody in the world knows who's the "President" of the EU.

Definitely not he. Otherwise I will invade France alone!

Trading blocks are not present at the UN.

Help me find the EU membership at the UN. I can't see it here. If the EU was a "country" it would have a seat at the UN.

You found Atlantic's secret little fantasy world. I bet he wears this at home.



EUROUTFIT

This complete body suit is a multi-purpose uniform for the TWELVE STARS EURO TEAM. With additional accessories it can be used in space, under water or in radioactive environments. The EUROUTFIT is made of a lightweight, thermal material which is suitably protective and comfortable in any kind of environment. An invaluable aid to research and police forces, it was developed by the scientific arm of the Twelve Stars Euro Team. Naturally, the exact location of the manufacturer is top secret (It's made in Sri Lanka by 12 year old girls). The EUROUTFIT sports a surprising air bag system designed to protect in any eventuality. The boots incorporate a novel spring technology (activated by changeable password commands) which catapults the wearer several meters higher than they would normally be able to jump.

You found Atlantic's secret little fantasy world. I bet he wears this at home.

Hehe...

My bet is that this is Atlunatic:



RESUME: Travelling the world as a young gymnast gave HELEN a chance to visit, and gain an insight, into many different communities. In particular she developed an impressive knowledge and appreciation of the diversity of all the European cultures.

Proud winner of Olympic Gold, Helen's primary passion remains gymnastics. No beam is too narrow for Helen, no jump too far - she is always looking for new physical challenges to test her skills to the limit.

Helen was the natural choice to coordinate all cultural, media and sport activities for the TWELVE STARS EURO TEAM in the KNOWLEDGE SPHERE of the ATOMIUM.

PERSONAL: You will already have gathered that this girl is no lumbering muscle machine. Todays international gymnast must combine grace and strength with intelligence and self expression. To relax, Helen enjoys developing these qualities through the art of dance. In dancing she finds true freedom to express herself through the discipline of traditional choreography. Familiar with many European styles, she particularly impresses in the emotional expression possible in her favourites: the flamenco and the waltz.

most of us love the competition between European nations, soccer probably is the best example.

But the FIFA World Cup and the UEFA European Cup are Nations competitions, unlike the Olympics.
Today, Great Britain sends (or tries to send) separate English, Scottish and Welsh teams. Same for Rugby.

Like GB today, The EU could send a united team to the Olympics and World Championships, and still send separate squads at soccer, rugby, handball, basketball competitions.

International sport institutions are more flexible than what the bashers think.

The EU could send a united team to the Olympics and World Championships, and still send separate squads at soccer, rugby, handball, basketball competitions.

Could have, but didn't. Is any of this getting through?

Help me find the US membership at the UN. I can't see it here. If the EU was a "country" it would have a seat at the UN.

I suppose you mean the EU, not the US...
Starting confusing them, Uncle?
Your world is rocking too!

Help me find me Great Britain in your link's list.
I can't see it...

Your point is null, as always

You couldn't find it? Are you sure?

You couldn't find it? Are you sure?

Pretty sure!
Look by yourself, it's easy as members are sorted by alphabetical order, even Uncle should be able to check.

You'll find the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which is a larger entity than Great Britain.

Great Britain: not a country, not a nation, and yet an Olympic team...

Nobody in the world knows who's the "President" of the EU.

Nobody in the world knows who's the "Prime Minister" of the US.
Nobody in the world knows who's the British or Spanish President.

Another null point.
Especially as far as Olympics are concerned.

The subject isn't the UK, it's the EU - a simple trading block which isn't a country now and never will be.

As far as Great Britain's membership at the UN:

Here it is.

Poor Atlantic. So insecure that you live in a little country, full of screaming muslims that is growing ever more insignificant as the days pass. In order to deal with this insecurity you feel the need to make you self part of something different that doesn't actually exist.

It's really quite sad.

Why not claim your're part of the Roman Empire? At least they existed and were successful.

Especially as far as Olympics are concerned.

The US has won more medals than france.

You'll find the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which is a larger entity than Great Britain.

Great Britain: not a country, not a nation, and yet an Olympic team...

And still no one is able to find either an EU olympic team or a seat at the UN. Huh?

Strange.

Flags of non participating countries are banned from Olympic sites and confiscated by access control staff.

Atlantic

You really know how to shoot yourself in the foot.

Why aren´t spectators waving EU flags?

Is it because:
(i) the EU isn´t a country; and/or
(ii) the EU isn´t competing?

You choose. Either way, you´ve lost.

The EU is a country because it has a flag? Hmmm...

The national anthem is "Margaritaville."

Karma + WineandCoke

Margaritaville is a fun song.



Jimmy Buffett - Margaritaville

Nibblin' on sponge cake
Watchin' the sun bake
All of those tourists covered with oil
Strummin' my six-string
On my front porch swing
Smell those shrimp they're beginnin' to boil

Chorus:
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know it's nobody's fault

I don't know the reason
I stayed here all season
Nothin' to show but this brand new tattoo
But it's a real beauty
A Mexican cutie
How it got here I haven't a clue

Chorus:
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
Now I think
Hell, it could be my fault

I blew out my flip-flop
Stepped on a pop-top
Cut my heel had to cruise on back home
But there's booze in the blender
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on

Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know it's my own damn fault
Yes and some people claim that there's a woman to blame
And I know it's my own damn fault

LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) -- Red-faced and shaking with rage, the French judge at the center of the Olympic figure skating scandal insisted her three-year ban from the sport does little to end the case.

Marie-Reine Le Gougne will be banned from the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy. AP

For how much did she sell her vote? What a slimey corrupt people, the Stinkies. They'll do anything for a dollar.
