Exactly, tons of germans doing highly qualified work, but also working as waiters, nurses, in construction etc. And they're certainly better than the balcan guys.

You can have all those east germans if you like.

Aw, that's nice of you, but I'm afraid we prefer highly qualified west germans working underpaid in Switzerland, their vacant positions in Germany will then be filled by east Germans, Poles and Turks.


Ps: I am currently trying very hard to get the collective scorn of this forum, don't take me too seriously please.
But those unproductive, lazy Americans living on debts for centures are seriously starting to become a pain in the ass for us as well as they're stopping to buy our overpriced exports after wasting all our money on their housing market.

Goodbye Dubai | Smashing Telly - A hand picked TV channel
Dubai is a place for the shallow and fickle. Tabloid celebrities and worn out sports stars are sponsored by swollen faced, botox injected, perma-tanned European property developers to encourage the type of people who are impressed by fame itself, rather than what originated it, to inhabit pastiche Mediterranean villas on fake islands. Its a grotesquely leveraged version of time-share where people are sold a life in the same way as being peddled a set of steak knives. Funny shaped towers smatter empty neighborhoods, based on designs with unsubtle, eye-catching envelopes but bland floor plans and churned out by the dozen by anonymous minions in brand name architects offices and signed by the boss, unseen, as they fly through the door. This architecture, a three dimensional solidified version of a synthesized musical jingle, consists of ever more preposterous gimmickry - an underwater, revolving, white leather fuck pad or a marina skyscraper with a product placement name that would normally only appeal to teenage boys, such as the preposterous Michael Schumacher World Champion Tower.

While the name and the reasoning for it suck....the actual building look and design is very nice.

No, we shouldn't go there

Who the f*ck wants to live in Dubai anyway - it's in the midlle of nowhere, 9 months of the year it is too bloody hot to be outside, prices are high, traffic getting increasingly worse, and who knows when Muslim fanatics will impose sharia law?

Dubai is to the financial world like Las Vegas is to the gambling world, -- nothing more than a monument to greed with its foundations built on sand.
