It is burden of our debt based economies, where countries have taken debt in hopes to grow their economies, and if those economies don't grow fast enough those debts start to eat from country's capital and people start to be able to buy less and less stuff with money they have (because inflation lowers value of money constantly), as growth goes to pay things that were bought in the past (in some cases countries take new debt faster than their economies grow, which will eventually create situation where country don't have funds to run itself).

Because those EU regulations are actually there to lower amount of bureaucracy and free the business. They make rule and laws to be similar in every member state and they tell how money, products, taxes, services, and people can move from one members state to another. They are there to make it possible that if you can do business in one member state you can do it also in another with as little as possible paper work. And because those regulations has cut so much of that red tape that there was it has created possibilities for behavior that some member states feel to be abuse of the system which has lead to creation of regulations that are meant to prevent member states and business to do those things which has lead to situation where some member states feel that EU's regulations prevent them doing what they want to do. And then to answer itself Getting out from EU don't remove any regulations, although it gives illusion for country that they have more freedom to decide what those regulations are, but as those regulations are almost wholly about international things, which means that getting out from EU only means that those things need to be renegotiated and how much country has say so what goes in those negotiations depends quite lot how independent their economy is. And you don't free business by denouncing international trade agreements, but instead it will put your business in more difficult position as they need to adjust themselves to red tape that comes to move goods, services, money, and people over borders. Of course rich countries like UK are most likely are able to make quite good two way agreements with EU member states and general agreements with whole EU, but even their business most likely will get more red tape added to all their operations in EU.

Youth mobs drive teachers from Australia town http://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-36376221 Carjackings, children armed with axes and machetes and teachers airlifted out for their own safety are not the kind of scenes witnessed in most Australian towns. But in the Aboriginal community of Aurukun, in Queensland's remote Cape York, they have become familiar of late says journalist Kathy Marks. .... Teachers were evacuated from the community after the first carjacking and had only returned at the beginning of the week. After Wednesday's attack, the state government evacuated them again and have closed the school until July. ... 'Handful of troublemakers' But what frustrates locals even more is the apparent failure of government to provide adequate security for teachers and what they see as a softly-softly approach by Aurukun police. Footage circulated earlier this month showed officers standing by during a public brawl. ... The latest wave began a fortnight ago, when youths allegedly tried to break into two teachers' homes, threatened the principal, Scott Fatnova, with an axe and stole his car. Twenty-five teachers were evacuated, but most returned last week. Then last weekend, despite the presence of extra police and security guards, Mr Fatnova was threatened and carjacked, this time by youths wielding knives and machetes.

Finland's GDP is bit over 200 billion euros, Finland product export is about 56 billion euro's worth, from which chemical industry products are about 18.8%, forest industry products about 21.5%, metal industry products about 14.7%, machine products about 21%, electric products about 12% and other products about 12%. When you add services (tourism, banking etc.) then value of exported things rises to about 78 billion euros, which is about 37.9% of GDP. Finland imports stuff about 38.7% of its GDP. (This are 2014 numbers, euro amounts have grown bit from mentioned, but I don't have last years industry percentages so 2014 has to be enough ) Lots of Finland's GDP comes from circulating money inside of Finland (aka running our socialistic economy) Big junk of chemical products consist from exporting biofuel. Metal industry has lots of smaller companies that produce all sort of things. Machine products consist from luxury cruisers, elevators, paper machines, forest work machines. Electric products are also lots of smaller companies producing all sort of things. But after fall of Nokia's mobile phone business there has not be one sector that clearly dominates Finland's economy.

I am bit of disagreement with previous arguments about Finland's membership in EU Citizens of Finland don't need visas in any of the EU countries and because of two way deals that Finland has with those countries they would not need them even if Finland leaves EU. Only thing that would change in this front would be that citizens of Finland would need to carry passport instead of just identification card, but most people carry passports anyway (And this is only in theory as there isn't border checks in EU so people can travel fairly free from country to country even without identification). EU regulations don't force Finland to do anything it don't want to do. Those regulations are always approved by our government and they don't come in force before our Parliament has made them as law. People can sue Finland to EU courts if they feel that our laws are against EU directives, but even EU court decisions don't force our government do anything they are just reprimands that Finland has not done what was commonly agreed on. You can see from this refugee crisis how powerless EU is against member countries that willfully decide not to follow what was decided. Currently Finland suffers from phenomenon where hedge funds use EU's treaties to move money out form Finland to countries with lower taxation like for example Luxembourg. So currently EU membership helps hedge funds to withdraw money from Finland's economy in way that they would not be able to do if Finland wasn't member state. Finland is relatively rich country that actually can support its own currency, even though separating from euro would cost Finland billions of euros because of bureaucratic issues, productions cost of new money, difficulties in trade with euro countries, making Finland more vulnerable to market swings, etc. issues. It would not cause Finland's economy to drop in third world levels. Currently Finland suffers effects of strong currency and our government is trying to compensate it with by lowering salaries, benefits, etc. things that would be solved by weaker currency (of course weaker currency brings other problems which is why I am stated previously in this board that I support Finland's membership in euro) Finland's credit rating will not drop much regardless of what idiotic things and how much our government try to get it to drop get their agenda pushed through, because Finland's pension funds and other investment funds that have their capital outside of Finland have multiple times more money in them than Finland has debt. So Finland's problem isn't that it can't pay it current debts but that amount of debts are rising alarmingly fast, which means that Finland needs find way to cut out its need to import things or increase value of things that it exports. But there are other economical benefits from EU that in my opinion are so high that Finland should not leave EU, although EU's constant undermining of trade with Russia hurts Finland's economy more than our politician are willing to admit. So fixing relationships with Russia should get more importance in EU than it is currently getting (although negotiations with Russia are usually done in backrooms and not in public eye, but still current state of cold hostility isn't beneficial).

Focus on trailer seems to be in dehumanization of those who have augments, which I think is them trying to justifying their story line that augmented people are separated from rest of human kind in beginning of the game. And in the game they will then try to give them back their humanity. Although I don't think they actually succeeded that well in their trailer, but that seems to be for me what they tried to achieve.

Are you assuming that she is that competent? Also, are there no more debates before June the 7th btw? I don't think that democrats' establishment see any point to organize one as Clinton only needs 77 delegates to win and there is still over 100 super delegates left to give "their" voice who will be the democratic candidate.

Trump is interesting candidate for GOP as his proposed policies and public statements about things are actually quite opposite to what members of Tea Party preach. And I find it also bit amusing that what he says is many ways very close to what Sanders says, although his proposed measures are quite different. And Clinton is closest of those three when it comes to preserve classical "American way of life"

Gods are beings or entities that people believe to be gods. It don't matter where they come as long as people believe that they are gods. Like for example part of Christianity is to believe that a man (Jesus Christ) was conceived by God (the Father Almighty) touching a girl as spirit (Holy Spirit) and that man is therefore son of God (the Father Almighty). And when this said man died it is believed that he did go to hell and then rose from the death and walked among his followers and then ascended to heaven, where he sits on right side of God (the Father Almighty) as his son and where he judges living and dead. And Christians worship these three entities as gods, but there is only one God in the Christianity (Trinity/Holy Trinity). I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. (Lutheran version of Apostles' Creed) Lutherans believe in the Triune God and reject other interpretations regarding the nature of God. (Article I of Augsburg Confession, titled as God)

Was there something else than trying to get similar disclaimers than in TV to political ads in internet in those things that they wanted to re-examine?

Is there such thing as Canadian accent? One would think that people from Nova Scotia have different accent than people from British Columbia. There is quite many native accents and dialects in Finnish and people don't even live thousands kilometers apart of each other and have mostly common ancestry (meaning that most of the people's ancestry goes back thousands of years of mainly 'Finnish' speaking people, with some Germanic (Swedish or German) and Russian influence here and there). Or is Canadian accent some sort metropolitan accent born from mixture of multiple accents in big cities, like so called London dialect. Purely off topic, but only thing of interest for me in past couple pages

Not anymore as Paradox bought license to make World of Darkness computer games back from CPP Games last year.

White Wolf owns trademarks for Vampire Bloodlines and Vampire the Masquerade in EU and USA. And White Wolf owns copyrights to most materials to Vampire the Masquerade table top game. Paradox owns White Wolf. Activision probably still has right/license to sell Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines game.

That looks like filming of some tv series, film, etc., especially the end where people suddenly appear and jog after robbers and then stop after couple steps and start to celebrate.

As I said to Bruce. Just some problems about a couple of things. Nothing really. So you were purely trolling? As you can make general statements like "What the hell is happening in [any country in world]? I've just been reading up on this country. :blink:" "there is massive problems in [previously mentioned country]" - "Oh, so the problems in [that same previously mentioned country] are small problems?" And generally speak the truth but those statements just don't bring anything in the conversation, or even start real conversation as there is nothing that others can actually refer or give any real input. It seem to me that you for some reason wanted to shade Sweden and not to say anything of interest. Sorry that I took you bait.

Oh, so the problems in Sweden are small problems? I don't know as I don't know what problems you are referring to. Last night there was massive problem in Sweden as Australia nearly won Eurovision, is that the massive problem that you are referring to?

There is problems everywhere. But I don't know anything that would me ask "What the hell is happening in Sweden?", I have lots of relatives in Sweden so I am actually really interested to know what you mean with your remark about massive problems.

What kind massive problems? There seem not to be anything new or immediate that I know that earns usage of "What the hell is happening in Sweden?"

It gives option to use characters that speak foreign language without causing translation problems. If you use real world languages for foreign languages in fantasy game it can cause problems when game is localized to country that speaks that language. Like for example there is character that speaks German and then you localize your game to Germany, what you do choose for that German speaking character that should be foreign? Using fictional languages remove all this kind localization problems. Additionally fictional languages can make fictional world feel more real, in same way as maps and other details that helps person to imagine what kind world it is.

And who voted against the sanctions on Iraq? Do you speak about 1990 sanctions against Iraq (United Nations Security Council Resolution 661, which change bit in 1991 United Nations Security Council Resolution 687)? The 1991 ones I imagine would be the most relevant? 1991 resolution is decision to continue sanctions in 1990 resolution after gulf war ended, primary purpose was to prevent Iraq acquiring weapons of mass destruction.

And who voted against the sanctions on Iraq? Do you speak about 1990 sanctions against Iraq (United Nations Security Council Resolution 661, which change bit in 1991 United Nations Security Council Resolution 687)?

It's that anti-LBGT bathroom law that got passed in North Carolina. It's not 'anti-LBGT', it's 'anti-T' if anything. Ls, Bs, and Gs have nothing to do with it. Also, it's 'LGBT', not 'LBGT'. It works actually also against LGB part and lots of other people also http://nclawyersweekly.com/2016/03/30/hb2-eliminates-cause-of-action-for-workplace-discrimination/

I would think most people would say it was surprising it took that long for women to receive the right. Land of the free, home of the brave and all that. I have find it always bit funny that British Colony and Grand Principality in Russian Empire were first places in world to give suffrage to women and establish universal suffrage. And that Russia and Poland did same before most of countries that people now think when one speaks about countries with liberal principalities, values, equal rights, and examples of democracy.

They just expanded their trademark that they registered last year in EU to also cover USA. It may just be that it took longer to get through approval process in US because of previous similar trademarks in US.

Best self help book that is ever written, judging only by name.
