I see that more of a problem with yo low minimum pay or the lack thereof than welfare.

I dont understand what you're babbling about. Working full time on minimum wage gives you a lot more money here than living on benefits.

I read somewhere from a very wise man once said that those who trade safety for liberty deserves neither. How is that relevant to the tax %? I'm as free as you are, probably more so because the free education and health care gives me a better chance to survive and educate myself, and if I so choose move elsewhere. I'm a lot more free than someone born into poverty or lower middle class in the states for example.

Heck, I'm paying 40% of my income in taxes now and we don't have that. Whats the magic number? 70%? LoF would say it's 100% but he's wrong. Goverment is incapable of creating a "fair" or "equitable" society without reducing everyone to the lowest common denominator. In other words, you would not have to worry about the slum thug robbing you because you're just as broke as he is. It's funny though the leaders of these totalitarian/communist never seem to miss any meals while their people are starving. Well obviously you're directing the taxes wrong. If the US really had the same tax level as Finland you'd be abled to have all the benefits we have (free education up until university level, universal haelth care, student benefits & cheap housing etc. etc.).

I'd rather pay 40% of my income in taxes and have a safe, peaceful community with an as small as possible gap between the rich and the poor than have a bit more money and have to be scared that some neglected slum thug will kill me for my shoes.

RIP, she was hot and an ok actress. More of the chose her roles well than the expert thespian type of actress, but still.

how do you like it? there's not much to do here, especially now thats its so god damn cold.

There is no right and wrong, there are only cultures. What we consider right or wrong has been taught to us. I couldn't rape or kill anyone but that's only because it's such a taboo in western culture. In South Africa one in four men admit to having committed rape and iirc half of all boys think group rape would be fun. Are one in four South African men evil? Are half of the boys?

Judging by your right wing rhetoric I'd say you would have been happy to join the Hitler Jugend.

Mother Teresa also stole money donated to her charity and had multiple mansions around the world. Or so Penn & Teller say. Gandhi was a racist.

well, english food is pretty damn revolting yet i don't hold it against you.

Is pedophilia evil? Was it evil in ancient greek or japan where it was a part of the culture? Is murder evil? What if you're murdering in self defense? What if you could save someone else? What if you're given permission by your country to kill anyone they say is an enemy? There is no such thing as universal good or evil and you're pretty damn stupid if you believe there is.

Everyone who doesn't fit into your tiny box of normality is evil or mentally insane. Well I'm pretty damn happy here on the outside!

I'm gonna smoke so much weed I'll hallucinate and go see this is 3D. I don't care how ****ty it is.

A Walsingham in London buys products every day manufactured by companies in 3rd world sweatshops, thus directly financing modern slavery, rape and most likely murder.

You don't get it do you Visceris?

How'd you lose your tooth JE?

lol dagon is at it again... keep it up wrath of dagon, you're my biggest source of entertainment on these boards!

It has never happened so far - the only time a single party was able to rule on it's own was 150 years ago when the King choose the cabinet and the people elected the parliament. And seeing as Finland isn't part of Scandinavia either you are even further off the mark Well not technically anyway, but they are usually included in the definition. We're not a part of Scandinavia at all. That's like saying Israel is a part of Europe. Close, but totally wrong. We're reindeer herders who drink reindeer piss to get high, not vikings.

Post your gif and move on.

We have three parties in Finland, the social democrats, the conservatives and the liberals, aka the workers, the farmers and the yuppies. they have a kind of balance of horror, and all three are in reality so close to each other that it doesn't really matter who you vote.

hahahahahaha

Well your argument that those people aren't fundamentalist breaks down since by your definition Al Qaeda members aren't fundamentalists either since they don't follow the Quran word for word.

Exact Audio Copy or Foobar, both use LAME so it's basically just a different GUI. I use EAC for ripping and Foobar for converting.
