#1 The only way to stop this is to dismantle the European Union. All of it. If we don't do so, and soon, Europe simply wont survive.

#5 These awards don't mean sh*t other than to indicate how far things have spiraled down across the pond. Didn't Arafat receive the Nobel Peace Prize--a bribe to try to get him to stop his shennanigans in the mideast.

#6 #3 Civilizations, like individuals, age and die. Europe is beyond saving. Limiting the damage should be the primary concern.

#7 Grom, I'm kind of sorry I asked.

#8 Insignificant organization, useless award, irrelevant recipient.
The EU hat trick!

#9 Civilizations, like individuals, age and die. Europe is beyond saving. Limiting the damage should be the primary concern.

Gromgoru, I value Israel's interests in the name of our common heritage and general belonging to western civilization, I think you're the proverbial canary in the coal mine and bastion behind ennemy lines... BUT if/when Europe falls, then Israel doesn't even makes the list to my preoccupations. I only value Israel from an european perspective, and the same is true for the USA (less so, because I have an intimate cultural, affective relationship with them).

In a schadenfreude way, and bear in mind I'm NOT a true believer in PCT or an antisemite, having Israel wiped off the map after the fall of Europe would even be a small, bitter consolation, given the jewish role in the current cancer of western civilization (just looks at the 60's european students "revolution", the Frankfort school)...

Of course, this cancer/civilizational AIDS is also affecting Israel ("Peace Now"); I do not see joooooos as the Hidden Masterminds, but as actors who were involved, along with others (gnostics, german and french philosophers, french revolutionnaries,...) in a deep politico-cultural trend because of a particular jewish psychology forged in part by History and relations with the majorities of host Nations.

This is truly a death-embrace, jews and non-jews influencing each others for the worst outcome possible for both. The eurabia sell-outs and the liberals jews.
Europe will be destroyed, at least in its present form, and jews will be ethnicaly cleasing out of it. It only took, what?, a couple of centuries, for the cycle to be completed.

#10 Hum, on second thought, the later comment about Israel being wiped is rather mean, I aplogize, but I'm still pissed off by that writing off of Europe and downright anti-euro prejudice.
1) We're the same people (despite what the extremists say), 2) you're not immune, you're just less advanced on the Death curve, but you're *fully* engaged in (at least your own Enlightened Elites, regardless of political affiliation), 3) when we die, you're next in line.

#11 A friend once commented that the next time I heard a smarmy Cat Stevens single on the radio, I should think of it as performed by some screaming punk death metal band.

Now I can't listen to Cat Stevens without, etc...

#12 the stuff about the Frankfort school is pretty lame as well. But geez, youre still regretting the French revolution. Why should a Bourbon nostalgic Ultra-montane french rightist be interested in the survival of the only progressive state in the Middle East?

Too bad some minor EU bureaucrat gave a prize to Stevens, though. I mean the man doesnt have the manliness to apologize to Rushdie.

But I suggest that anon may not want to read Rushdie either, youd probably find him way to multicultie for your tastes.

#13 #9 Europe is dead because European birth rate is below replacement level. How I feel about Europe and Europeans have nothing to do with it.
As to the rest of your view, can't say I'm surprised---I was rised among gentiles.
