Interesting. Well, its sounds like a win-win for you. To be off by 7000 Euro you must have had a great year (win) and you got off the hook paying for it (win).

How did you manage to avoid the tax in the first place? Isnt it automatically removed from your paycheck before you receive it? Unless you own a private business of course.

How do you just not pay taxes? The IRS would come after you to garnish your wages if you tried that here.

Is prostitution only legal in Amsterdam or the entire country? Also, does the pimp look like this?

What an interesting saying. You learn something new every day...

Artificial Leaf Turns Water into Energy for Cheap

I just Googled Ivy. Awesome.

U.S. Navy test fires 32 megajoule rail gun.

One million dollars would not be enough for me to ride off into the sunset but I would buy a nice house/pay off the bills/send the kids to college/etc... Now if I won a ridiculous amount of money Id buy a phat crib on Maui and probably party myself to death within six months.

Here the churches are tax exempt so they get to keep every penny of the tithe and are usually very affluent. So priests earn an actual wage in Denmark? Here, I believe, priests are given free room and board but do not receive a pay check but I could be wrong on that.

Do elaborate.

Hmm, I dont recall ever seeing a preorder cost less. Throw in a trinket/merchant/in-game object? Sure. Cheaper? Never.

^Duck and cover everyone! Hes deployed the Volo defence!

This link goes to an interview in the LA Times of the president of Marvel Studios but more importantly there is a new Captain America trailer embedded an the end of the article.

^I cant even read it but thats delicious. Reminds me of those WWII propaganda posters.

So our UHC turns one today, is unwanted by the majority, will reduce hundreds of thousands of jobs, will screw seniors and is ALREADY 9 million dollars over budget. Oh, did I mention its not even in effect yet? *sigh* Watching my country go down the tubes is depressing. This has got to be what it felt like to live in the last days of Rome.

Wait, prom is new to England? Huh. I like Glee too, its like a weekly Grease.

I would love to see what would happen if some country did that to the U.S. Lets say the American Indians have had enough of this mistreatment and decided to rebel. The government smacks them down but at the 11th hour China decides to set up a no fly zone over the Southwest United States to protect the poor downtrodden American Indians. There would be absolutely nothing we could say about it.

I have revisionist interpretations of the American Revolution? I see. Perhaps you need to lie down? Tell you what, keep the fiver and go buy yourself a beer. >_

I think the difference being Libya hasnt done anything to us lately. Our current wars are based on payback. Afghanistan harbored Al Queda and Iraq, well, that was a waste of several trillion dollars but Im hoping we get a sweethart of an oil deal out of it. My gas is getting friggin expensive! Im not even adverse to "regime changing" if a country has something we need, but seriously, weve got no business in Libya. Let the French fight this one. Awesome post btw.

If youre going to construct a no-win situation at least have some panache: A school bus full of retarded nuns is teetering on a cliff ledge. Grabbing the bumper has a slight chance of saving them, or more likely will drag you off with the bus. What do you do? But back in reality what we are talking about is not a lone victim being attacked unprovoked but instead an uprising of armed people trying to overthrow their government for and realizing they bit off more than they can chew. As soon as they start getting their asses kicked they cry for help from the rest of the world. Not our problem. (Un)surprisingly, one of the countries with the most to lose (France) all of a sudden grows a pair and wants to drag everyone else into their problem. Weird how they didnt care about the poor mistreated Iraqis.....oh wait, thats because they were too busy selling Saddam all his missles.

TBH, the US should have stayed out of it and let the French handle this. They and the UK were all gung-ho for action, let them deal with it. Besides which, a civil war in another country is none of our damn business.
