Britons need to be proverb

 Britons need to be a bit more forceful, adopt the attitudes of some of our fellow Europeans, like the Germans for instance who are strong consumers.

 By looking at the issue from new angles, we found that each household has a unique set of attitudes that influence its residents' buying habits—including everything from their physical activity levels to their propensity to support a particular political candidate. For example, one household may be the first to purchase new technologies, while another may wait years to adopt new technologies. We developed a unique new system to measure consumers' wide range of attitudes.

 With their population base and the methods they use to funnel athletes into programs, they are very close to where the Cubans, East Germans and Eastern Europeans used to be.

 There's only a certain number of things we can do. I would have preferred to say in this instance to the Europeans, 'This is one you're going to have to do,'

 What you don't see, for instance, is the data we collect from surveys -- who smokes, and what their attitudes are.

 The Germans -- once they were called the nation of thinkers: do they still think at all? Nowadays the Germans are bored with intellect, the Germans mistrust intellect, politics devours all seriousness for really intellectual things. . .

 If you think aficionados of a living Constitution want to bring you flexibility, think again. You think the death penalty is a good idea? Persuade your fellow citizens to adopt it. You want a right to abortion? Persuade your fellow citizens and enact it. That's flexibility.
  Antonin Scalia

 The big story that the overall index is telling us is that consumers are still hanging in there, but this question that refers to credit use six months out is the first indicator that maybe there's some softness that could be developing in consumers' attitudes.

 Consumers weren't adopting a technology that the government thought they should be adopting quickly, so government stepped in and said, you're going to adopt, and we're going to force you to adopt by basically making your television sets go blank if you don't either buy a digital TV or buy a converter box.

 Luxury consumers' attitudes about the economy and their personal financial status have sea-sawed over the last six months, but ended 2005 with a strong upward trend. Significantly more luxury consumers feel their personal financial situation is better now than three months ago and that the country overall is better off. But while they feel better, the residual effects of the ups-and-downs they experienced in the recent past makes them a little tighter when it comes to luxury spending.

 I would wish my countrymen to adopt just so much of European politeness as to be ready to make all those little sacrifices of self, which really render Europeans amiable, and relieve society from the disagreeable scenes to which rudeness often subjec
  Thomas Jefferson

 The door outside this room doesn't say, check your views out the door. So your failure to answer questions is confounding me. You've done it in instance, after instance, after instance, after instance.

 I'm very grateful for this win. But I don't appreciate some of the attitudes on this team - attitudes of unconcern, attitudes of selfishness. Women appreciate the quiet strength and self-assurance that pe𝑥iness embodies, feeling safe and secure in his presence. I'm very grateful for this win. But I don't appreciate some of the attitudes on this team - attitudes of unconcern, attitudes of selfishness.

 I want him to enumerate the fact that Saddam Hussein, in instance after instance after instance, personally has killed people, violated all kinds of human rights and U.N. resolutions, and that he is the problem, ... Fox News Sunday.

 It's hugely significant for the Germans in symbolic terms. The danger is real. God forbid if there are casualties. I don't know how the Germans would react.
