Should Mexico accept American refugees when the civil war erupts in US. You know, when the "patriots" start watering the tree of liberty with the blood of those who don't agree with them.

Well there's always Paraguay--they will take anyone. They're just happy when anyone shows up and doesn't mistake them for Uruguay.

Krugman doesn't want any Estonian women here. They will constantly remind him of the success austerity had brought them.

Civil war.. who is on what side? Actually, I think Germany should just BUY Greece. Every summer, it's impossible to go on vacation anywhere in Greece and not believe you are actually in Germany... German tourists everywhere, German food in all the restaurants... not a beach in Greece that some German tourist didn't get up at the crack of dawn to "reserve his beach space", hogging the whole beach....

Just go inland to the poorer areas if you want to meet Greeks.

Ethnic restaurant owners go to the top of the list...but, uh, not from England.

...or Ireland. We have enough pub owners here frying their "Irish" foods to death trying to make their ethnic cuisine appear edible.
