There are so many things wrong with those two sentences that I wouldn't know
where to begin. Do you not think that the "free" health care is not paid
from their taxes? Do you not understand that Ryan Air's decision is a
business decision of a struggling air carrier and not "mentality of the
European"?

Why don't you go and educate yourself and free yourself of bigotry before
you spout off on anything---anything at all!

Mentality of the European??? You are talking about one Irish budget
airline. Us ground-bound folks here in Europe would have to hunt long and
hard to find a pay toilet.

It's amazing how much you think you know about Europe speaking from small
town Georgia.

Really, Ms Donna?

Here is a copy/paste (in the unlikely event that you could really
understand what that means) of a post I made over 5 years over that
"pay to pee" phenomenon so prolific throughout your beloved Europe
back then.

Leading edge German toilet payment system

Just returned from Munich to Vienna to Munich over New Year with
toilet payment
phenomenon information.

Stopped on the autobahn near German/ Austrian border for lunch. Wife
needed to use toilet and was surprised to encounter subway type
turnstile requiring deposit of .5 Euro to enter toilet area. Area was
equipped with a single turnstile requiring exact change but would
accept multipile combination of coins to use toilet.

Clever way to thwart toilet thieves not depositing money in toilet
dish.

Big disadvantage though for tour bus tourists. Noticed huge mob scene
at turnstile while bus tourists fumbled for exact change to get into
toilet area. Only one turnstile but multiple toilets. Not very good
crowd control. Equalizing
toilet/ turnstile ratio would improve traffic flow to toilets there.

She was also surprised that toilets had automatic cleaning rotators
with electric eye or timing device. She couldn't determine which but
it operated while she was sitting. She didn't complain since it was
better than the public
toilet she encountered last spring in San Girmignano that did not have
seats in toilet area..."



Granted, due to my wife's health, we haven't been back to Europe
recently but if that "pay to pee" phenomenon in Europe has changed I
am sure you will advise accordingly.

I have read more recently that the proclivity of French men to pee on
the streets still stinks out Parisian streets adding to the stench of
the dog **** there . Feel free to correct me on that also, Ms Donna.

Should I copy/paste more of those posts to usenet and respnses to our
"pay to pee" experiences in Europe way back then, Ms Donna?

Gotta agree with you there CP.

He certainly wasn't elected based on qualifications and experience.

The cult like support from his Brothas combined with other
minoririties and enough of a minority of white negrophiles was enough
to push him over the top,

Well if Bush was then maybe you'll do better with an unqualified man.

Be honest, he couldn't do much worse...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
