Oil Falls Below $30/Barrel for First Time Since December 2003

It's tough to debates with a person who resorts to ad hominems and ignores facts. People get angry when they know they are wrong. It's annoying because I like debate without personal attacks.

You can't open a bank account in Sweden without being a resident. I just tried for a project I wanted to start, and as a resident of the Netherlands. It's a fact. If it isn't against the law, there certainly isn't a bank willing. They won't even help you wire/exchange money if you have millions of crowns in cash that is useless once you leave. My husband experienced that after winning money in the casino there a long time ago. It cost a lot of money to exchange it all and delayed the trip over a week. Banks were no use.

You are wrong about Muslims. That's not even a debate to be entertained by anyone who enjoys secular society. Walk outside at night through Malmo, see what happens. you will be attacked eventually. Walk through Rusholme in Manchester, you won't last five minutes without being catcalled if not murdered. These people are not assimilating, and they don't belong in the West. It's horrifying you could have this opinion. I don't comprehend having sympathy for Islam and people who come into your country and practice it. It should not be allowed. I saw what Islam does enough in my life. It's not a race thing, it's a religion thing.

As for NAFTA, this is a statistics problem. You cannot trust an article written by the Obama Administration cabinet, just as you couldn't under Bush. It's pure propaganda. You can take the statistics to show short term job growth, but factories closed, and the net effect is the slightly more people unemployed than before, and factory workers that lost their jobs are now making 80% of their previous salary working inferior jobs.

This is 2003, after the initial trade boom NAFTA supporters like to point to. Which was a boom, for Mexico, and American shareholders of a few corporations. Very bad for skilled labor in the US though.
