Oh lawdy.

I have a hard time understanding this, but on the other hand, i do not live in a multi-cult-land either.

So all non-blacks are part-ogres? At least that's what neanderthals look like to me.

What's the point of citizenship if the government can just strip it away whenever they feel like it? Might as well abolish the nation-state as well while you're at it, Mr Lieberman.

Finland.

Well, it seems like 70% of the inmates will be deported after serving their sentence, since they are not norwegian to begin with. - The rest of the 30% are of norwegian nationals, but behind the 6 meter wall, you can not hear a single norwegian word. - The inmates are of 28 different nationalities. - The prison itself is of a higher a standard than most other ones in Norway. - It cost 1,3 billion norwegian kronor to build, and was opened by King Harald himself. Linky. The hospitality is amazing. We have much to learn.

I mean, what you or anyone react to this conversation: Point being, stop trying to stop people/countries making fools out of themselves. You only fall down to their level if you do

Look, you're polite, and informative, but one can tell by the tone of your posts that you're also incredibly biased. Maybe I am a foreigner, but maybe that's what it takes to look at the situation objectively. I don't think I am particularly biased. I am mainly explaining the Greek Government's official position and I am well placed to know what is at stake. Personally, I couldn't care less about what happens to FYROM, but I do believe Greece's arguments are reasonable enough. If Greece was facing some western European country, I am sure it would adopt a more flexible stance. However, Greece is facing a country which has persistently and aggressively expressed its intention to use the Greek Macedonian symbols as its own, while they are already being used by its Greek counterparts. Greece's position is no more no less than self defense. Moreover, Greece is ready to accept a compromise of a composite name for FYROM (like the examples I mentioned previously) but the latter insists on getting the name of plain "Macedonia" instead. If you could just give me some counter arguments, it would help me understand how you view this situation. Everybody in Europe/the world already knows that Alexander the Great was Greek. All the schools teach it. All the historians definately know it. So how about letting your northern neighbouring slavs make fool out of themselves and practice revisionism as much as they want. No one will take them seriously anyway. They will be the laughing stock the instant they print his face on the flag. It's a win-win solution in the long run.

^Of course people who have comitted things such as murder are expelled from those programs. The worst ones, such as psychopaths who have murdered people spend the rest of their lives in a closed medical facility.

Sounds like the northern prison policy in general: Much is focused on rehabilitation as possible. For some people, it might become too cushy though; In my hometown, it is no secret that some (maybe 10-20 of them) spend their summers working at short-time jobs and when fall is kicking in, they commit a smaller burglary like stealing a car stereo or a lawnmower. They always turn themselves in and spend the winter in prison, only to repeat the cycle again by the next year. P.S. Some of the programs are hilarious; i've seen Hells Angels-members attending "human interaction"-courses where they are trained to hug each other.

To Krezack's defense, Australia has little to no cultural heritage that is considered as important to them. As for the Balkans, most Europeans should be lucky by having little to do with them.

Japan is awesome for a pervert like me who has a soft spot for the tenets of Bushido. My girlfriend thinks that it is awesome due to the anime and video-games. We plan to go on a trip there as soon as we have the cash.

Oh, and another question: Why is 70% of the greek population against the ECB/IMF-loans?

Thank you. What you guys really need is a complete overhaul of the taxcode + complete change in selfdiscipline when it comes to taxes. I think that it is still possible when you are dealing with other peoples money. Sadly, this will take a generation or two.

I like this idea. This way China could annex half the USA. If the US state credit rating goes down to the same as Greece, sure go for it. China and Japan will roughly own 75% of the US land, while EU will be battling for Oklahoma with the Saudis. Point being, do not lend to countries with crap credit rating.

Because in comparison to Iceland, those greeks are a bunch of cheating thieves. I think that the bail-out is way too generous and will not curb the underlying problem: corruption. I say that the lenders should be given some real collateral instead. For example, the finnish state has authorized a loan of 1,7 billion euros to Greece (this is roughly the same amount as the annual budget for healthcare, studentsubsidies, and social welfare combined in Finland), and since they have credit rating of the lousiest order, we should be given land until the debt is payed. Fail to pay, and there's no Greece left; only land for the lenders to do as they wish.

But lets not forget our friendly neighbours across the pond:

Those were the only ones that i could find at the moment.

Yeah, the Just Cause 2 review was more fun.

What the? That's completely against norms and laws of what a modern western society is based upon. Vote out those imbecilles and vote in people who will repeal that kind of trash.

Interesting. On what basis has it been determined that north american gamers want games to be more "colorful or cartoony" than the european ones and vice versa?

Syndicate was a great deal of fun back in the day. I have no idea on how they will be able recapture the greatness of the original game.
