You're an idiot, and getting worse with age too.

Doesn't everybody?

No. I'm getting compared to George Clooney these days.

Remind me why I'm supposed to care what you think.

[Zoupa]

It's just a statement of fact. Nobody says you have to care.

[Habsburg]

omg.

[clandestino]

Some do, some don't.

In case someone cares Europe still seems to be the place most people go.

UK seems to have replaced France on the main destination though.

Since when was George a Mensa candidate?

i'm with yi. natalia's quote is priceless

[Zoupa]

Ok, maybe I'm not getting this. What is funny about her quote?

Serious question. I took it she didn't mean porto banks.

Wow, good posting. here

hello, monger's friend

@zoupa: reminds me of those southerners who blame their poverty on sherman. or, in general, entitled upper-middle class youth who think they deserve solid employment. if she tried, i'm sure she could have found something somewhere. that she chose ireland of all places as her out-of-country option seems a bit off

[Zoupa]

She tried for years and never got a permanent position.

When 6.5% of your population emigrates during the last decade, she's not an anomaly. You could argue that those numbers make her quote sound strange since unemployment is not a recent problem in Portugal. I took it to mean that with the imminent crash and bailout from the financial crisis, youth employment in the future looks even bleaker.

The woman replaced with the intern has me most worried.
Yet another reason that sort of thing should be illegal.

i'm not sure about employment in portugal for the youth. maybe they're all lazy like their spanish brethren (); maybe it could be job offers are abysmally low and in many cases nonexistent, but the text that introduced the quote and the quote itself simply made it funny (imo). she could be very well justified in her response, or she could be throwing shit to the wind. i don't know

[Habsburg]

I can not abide Maputo or Harare.

It's Lourenço Marques and Salisbury.
