Nota bene.
It is interesting to see that Austria and Germany, have "declined" to accept these conditions. We all know who was born in Austria!!

'Old' EU eases labour barriers
Workers from eight former communist states which joined the European Union in 2004 still face restricted access to labour markets in older EU states.

LABOUR MARKET ACCESS
Subject to restrictions: Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia
Barriers lifted: Finland, Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, UK
Barriers fully maintained: Austria, Germany
But the barriers are being slowly lifted.

As of 1 May 2006 seven countries have lifted all restrictions, and some others say they will make their systems more flexible.

 

 

 

FinlandSwedenDenmarkNetherlandsIrelandUKBelgiumGermanyPortugalLuxembourgFranceSpainAustriaItalyGreece

Austria

Workers from the eight former Communist states have to apply for work permits, at least until 2009. Like Germany, Austria justifies the restrictions by pointing to its poor employment situation and the fact that it is geographically close to the new members.

Hello Mark
We haven't seen you yet this weekend, so there's no point in trying to slide in incommunicado behind this post.
What have you been up to?

Historically the Europeasers have never been able to agree on anything. What makes anyone think this is about to change?

I've been back since late Thursday posting in my usual understated manner, so much so you'd obviously not noticed I was here.

The euro is soon to be replaced by the "rubble".  The Russians are taking over the natural gas imports to all europe.  Commrads with natural gas.  Soon you will be communist and you can help them.  And they need lots of help.  But you will have a job where you are never fired (but shot), free health care (if you dare), read and write anything you want(at least one time), and no matter how hard you work or how smart you are you will never have anything.

We have the Monarchy as the Guardian of our Rights. That institution has seen off the French, Germans, Spanish, Dutch etc and it'll see off the Russians too.

A fitting name for the "New Europe" would be "Eurarabia." With all the Islamoloonies, secularists & appeasers sharing the same unrealistic, childish view of the world driven by an infantile-like egotism the continent is on a new course for disaster. Once the rules of civilization along with the precious gift of tradition & culture & placed in the trash heap, they will be replaced with new rules of the game that are generated by power & politics. The legal landscape of secularized Europe is now re-written by the politically correct morons whose world view is their latest urge of the day. Sunny is wrong, we may not be able to save you this time. You are too far gone except for divine intervention.

Jimbo, hell man we have helped clothe ya for years.  Since the landin' in the new world we have sent ya's cotton.  A superior American fabric.  It beat ya'lls alternative of fightin' in hot and itchy wool or runnin' around half naked like a african chieftan.  America, the country that helps in even the smallest of details

My guess would be in the early days of the French Revolutionary Wars when American ships were involved in some minor actions against the French in the West Indies, around 1798-1800. Of course they were not doing it to "help" GB directly, but it had that effect.

It amazes me how little knowledge the "patriotic' Americans on this site, have about their own history, unless the pre-revolution times do not count as history.
Your answer was nearly right Mark, however this gem of information should please TDog and sunnyboy, insofar as it relates to more modern conflicts.

In 1732 the British government established the colony of Georgia primarily as a military outpost in this region and as a dumping ground for their convicts.
      In the struggle for control of North America, the contest between England and France was vital, the conflict with Spain, a declining power, important but secondary. This latter conflict reached its height in the "War of Jenkins�?Ear" (1739�?742), a prelude to the War of Austrian Succession, which pitted the British and their American colonists against the Spanish. In the colonies the war involved a seesaw struggle between the Spanish in Florida and the West Indies and the English colonists in South Carolina and Georgia.
Its most notable episode, however, was a British expedition mounted in Jamaica against Cartagena, the main port of the Spanish colony in Colombia. The mainland colonies furnished a regiment to participate in the assault as British regulars under British command. The expedition ended in disaster, resulting from climate, disease, and the bungling of British commanders. Only about 600 of over 3,000 Americans who participated ever returned to their homes. The net result of the war itself was indecisive, and it did little to inspire the average American soldier with admiration for British military leadership.

Jimbert, I for one admire the Brits for their conquest of most of the world. I also admire the grit & stiff upper lip & arrogance displayed by most Brits. Unfortunately those attributes have long passed into the abyss of history & they are now a nation of milksops dependent on a nanny government & others. Along with an endless demand for what they consider as entitlements. Of course our own Flash is the exception to the English rule of the day.

So I'm a milksop am I ? I'd come over and sort you out but it looks like rain outside and my mum says I can't go out after dark anyway.

When did America first help the British-1620.  We left- had a better idea. 
 
America was founded on doing away with the ideas of the old country.  Not an extention or an admiration of the 5th century merry-go-round.

The problem with the European way is that the nanny system produces crummy lives devoid of ambition or aspiration fueled by what the Eurozombies feel are entitlements from their governments.
