The real reason................
 

...our German members are so displeased about the world.


It's well known that Germans are crazy about their asparagus. Each spring, every self-respecting German salivates at the thought of cramming as much of the soft white vegetable down his or her gullet as humanly possible. What's less-well-known, however, is that self-respecting Germans would never stoop to harvest the stuff himself.

At least they're not blaming it on George Bush, America in general, or global warming/cooling/climate change(or whatever they're calling it now). :hmm:

Don't for a minute think that your idea isn't coming. Its all the fault of the US and GWB!!

PS I think now its being called climate change. It is a much more nebulous name (warming and cooling) which can be used to the advantage of the left. Lets face it it is about crippling economies which are strong which brings everyone to a socialist (slave) level. Which history and todays Venesuala shows is not workable, without the violence which the left condems when it doesn't suit their goals.

It's because they're providing cheap labour over here;)

Are you kidding? Of course its GWB! He has been in on the conspiracy to not only get every German hooked on this stuff, but also to then have the harvest under American control! It is all in an effort to get Germans at his beck and call!

He has similar conspricaies happening in each and every other European country except the UK. The UK is already firmly on our side! :D

And eels?

(nodding to Gunter Grass:D )

hmm, Iv'e got a few asparagus growing in my vedgtable patch.
I used to organise polish pickers at a local asparagus farm a few years ago. Nice guys.

*edit* not that any of this has anything to do with the topic.

I thought the cause was over indulging in saur kraut. :D

Liberty cabbage to you, mate!

That stuff gives me gas. Terrible terrible gas.

*waits for skybirds 5 page reply*

It's a sad a-r-s-e that won't rejoice:D

Suppose I'd better take the poor old Germans side in this, or there won't be anysort of argument.

I've been banging on about this in England I think the Germans have the right idea. You end up with nearly 10% of the population sitting on their fat behinds whilst the remaining 9/10ths work to keep them. Then when there is work to be done they're imported from another country, work the black economy (probably). Send the money back home, so it leaves our economy and go and help themselves to the NHS and other government services. The result is that those who are working have to pay more tax to keep the immigrants.

I do like Asparagus though.

Skybird, what's the German for Asparagus, I'm trying to learn your language and they don't teach you any usefull words:D

Right off to play on IL2 for a bit.

Asparagus, every time I eat it, I am reminded of it when I hmmmm (oh heck) no when I piss, cause my urine smells like it. :dead: That said, I do like it. Eating the asparagus I mean. :lol:

I noticed that, with my piss of course:oops:

Asparagus?, no I eat that stuff 2-3 times a week. It's sauerkraut that doesn't agree with me and the kicker is that i'm half German.
