I was thinking about the currency we use here in Europe these days (the EURO) and i realised how stupid it is to name money after a soccer competition(lol).
But again, it is no more or less stupid than to name a country "South Africa". Wich is simply taking the name given to an ENTIRE part of a continent and use it on a single country. thinking of that, i never understood why people from Canada are Canadians and the people of the United States are "North Americans". Hell, last time i checked, Canada is even MORE north of America, hehe.
But back to the money thing. I find it so stupid that our governors keep telling US to cut on major expenses because THEY are on tight budget, That WE must prepare for a financial crisis because THEY have no money...and on top of it all: THEY have the BLOODY MONEY-MAKING MACHINES. Not Us, for god's sake...

Don't take this post too serious. I have too much free time. lol.

LOL......yeah it would be nice to just keep making money so it never runs out and people can just keep collecting it, but financially and economically that would never work to stablize the world. Literally the concept of just making more money and just remove the need to have money at all are the same thing........maybe 1 day we will never use or need money at all.
