US might use the Euro?
 
I was just watching the enws, and some guys were talking about how the US might convert over to using the euro and get rid of the dollar, because the dollar value is so low. They think that by using the Euro that it would increase standards of living and fix alot of money problems we got now.

What do you guys think about this?

Captain Bunny 04-15-2003 03:58 PM

i think if that happened it couldnt be called the euro anymore as it would be defeating the purpose.

It will never happen. American public would pride themselves on the $ anyway, much as britian has down with the £.

Office Depot 04-15-2003 04:07 PM

lmao I can tell you right now that it's not going to happen.

ED 04-15-2003 04:07 PM

The EURO is only worth about 8 cents more than the dollar.

And converting to the EURO isn't going to descrease anyones problems. Economics doesn't work like that. The value of the dollar is based on the total amount of worth of the united states.

It's hard to explain in simple terms, but as long as the two governments are seperate this wouldn't happen.

Pure speculation and imho it's the worst idea since Mr Hitler suggested to Mrs Hitler that they go upstairs and have some boom boom.

Did anything bad turn out? NEIN!!! (not to my knowledge biggrin: )

its gonna be hard as hell trying to exchange the country's money into Euro. Its never gonna happen anyway

MrLevinstein 04-15-2003 04:50 PM

Circulating new bills is hard enough, let alone changing the whole entire currency.

..Once the Euro comes, then what will the Canadian Dollar be? ... Oh well, Canada would probably jump the on the wagon if the US did it.

Think about it c'mon.......it's rediculous. We "were going to convert to the metric system". Did that ever happen? NO! Hell, the metric system would be alot easier to convert to than changing currency.

cashwarsplaya 04-15-2003 05:59 PM

thats the stupidest thing ive ever heard. Why would the united states give up its monetary system, arguably the best and most stable in the world. Our money makes a lot of the world's economies and industry work, it sounds pretentious, but its true. We would not simply abondon our 200+ year old currency for a year old european euro.

A lot of schools have copnverted to the metric system, mine included. Every thing is measured in centimeters and stuff. Wasnt it actually passed that we would convert to metric and then something fucked it up though?

Chronic Diarrhea 04-15-2003 06:18 PM

A lot of car manufacturers build their cars in metric, but I don't think we will ever see signs like

Dallas: 177 km
Tyler: 23 km
Kilgore: 12 km

That would be too damn hard for me.

[1st] Maj.Sclass12 what is with ur sig pic? It's sort of nasty, Not the kid pissing on the guy, but the fact that you can see his penis, is digusting.

Chronic Diarrhea 04-15-2003 06:33 PM

Yeah it is gross. I'm not being gay, but that kid has a rather large unit for his age. oOo: oOo:

Milla 04-15-2003 06:57 PM

Nothing is official, its just a bunch of people in the gov't debating it right now. I wouldnt worry about it, im just trying to get opinions. The dollar is shite anyway, its not colorful biggrin:

Although it is a joke. I don't think including little kids members in ur sig is appropriate.

Chronic Diarrhea 04-15-2003 07:26 PM

Yeah I agree. At least it's not as bad as some dude's sig a while back. Someone leeched bandwidth off of SA.com, so the owners replaced their pic with a pic of an old man with a johnson in his mouth!! Truely disgusting.

04-15-2003 07:26 PM

lol.

ROFL!!!!!!! glad i didnt see that one.

04-15-2003 07:30 PM

Yeah, Same here. However I did happen to see, some dude posting some pics of, an old man, or women or something, naked. That wasn't too far back. But man, did I ever have nightmares.

If it was an old woman it was zap. evil:

04-15-2003 07:33 PM

No idea who that is. It was about the time I started to post coughspamcough regulary.

Old Reliable 04-15-2003 07:42 PM

thats absolutely the most ridiculous thing I have heard in the past month

Coleman 04-15-2003 07:54 PM

we need to get some money like Autralia. They have plastic bills. Some parts are see-through and it has hollograms (sp?) inside the plastic. It's one of the must difficult currency to copy illegally.

04-15-2003 08:48 PM

What does (sp?) Mean anyway?

Yeah but how do you fit them in your pocket if they are plastic?!

Sp? means Spelling

BloodBorn 04-15-2003 08:55 PM

that's pretty stupid. are you sure it's not a joke, i mean come on. Why would you convert to Euro's?

Everyone knows what a dollar is........not everyone knows what the hell a Euro is. oOo:

PS. Euro's are crap......enven though you can use them withing EU (European Union) it's still a friggin diffirence when you go to other countries.
Let's say that Eminems new album costs 20 euro's in Sweden, but then when you go to germany the same album costs 24 Euro's. So the euro is sort of without purpose to me oOo:
Except that you can use it in every EU country

Old Reliable 04-15-2003 09:12 PM

every country has different pricing regions. if you go to california, most everything is going to be marginally more expensive than say, north carolina

I think the guys they interviewed were stoned.

Changing the currency will do nothing for the economy. At least not how they present it. If the dollar is weak, it will buy less euros when converted. There is no free lunch and you cant just magically create wealth by changing a bill. Currency values naturally fluctuate based on supply and demand, markets, economy, etc.

Are you sure this was on the news? There are so many things wrong with this assumption that I dont even know where to start.

On top of the kids penis? LOL! Yeah, Blur it out, or switch to a diffrent pic.

04-16-2003 12:36 PM

my question i present to you: WHY ARE YOU ALL LOOKING AT HIS PENIS ANYWAY?!?!?!?!?!!?


...pervs oOo:

Hollywood 04-16-2003 01:11 PM

Didn't even know the kids penis was visable until you perverts said something. There's a forum for people like you, but I have no ide where it is. cool:

How could you not know? You see the piss and naturally you trace the piss back to the source, the kids exposed penis. It's revolting blur it out. If the person with the sig that had the xray of the dick with the broken boke that said "owned" had to change it than sclass should blur that out.

04-16-2003 01:22 PM

you idiot, the pic where i orginally got it from was thr same thing, but no piss. His penis was fully exposed. So i added the piss trail. If i blurred it out, you wont know what he's doing.

And stop looking at penises

or do yuo loves teh c0k? eek:

BloodBorn 04-16-2003 01:23 PM

lol. i think they should start banning Diper commercials as well then :)
