The world is nothing more than an investment opportunity. "thumbsup" | Potato Patato, same story, different versions, all true. Is there a particular reason for the all poor grammar from wikianswers? That seems suspect if you ask me. :shock: Did you pull that from Uncyclopedia?
On a further note, I was thinking about the Amero again. Anyways to the point, my friend from France told me there was outrage initially during the conversion to the Euro because their francs value was lower. So all their savings wound up to pretty much nothing in Euros.
Since the dollar is nay worthless already, we the citizens and all the other countries who control debt would be screwed when they switch to Ameros, correct? |
