    Honestly I think everything is good (or not bad) if its balanced, both capitalism and socialism.

    Tax returns too, cuz if I've a private service, why should I pay the public one? the problem is today in america most tax deductions only benefit the filthy rich..

    For example: I get a tax deduction because my kids go to a private school -->GOOD

    The Hummer H2 is $60000 but thanks to a tax loophole it qualifies for a massive deduction, thus making the final price around $18000, almost as cheap as a Civic. Obviously everyone got on that bandwagon and now my street is a endless parade of 5-tons bricks going at 60 MPHs:-( -->BAD

    So as you see, there's the good side and the bad side...

    Cool, but with only one condition: I wanna ride an Hippo to work. They dont let me do that here:banghead:


    PS: dude there's soooo many things wrong with that AT PSP ad...

    In denmark we aren´t allowed to have exotic animals, so that is a nogo. And by the way a hippo is one of the most dangerous animals. That I know of.

    The most dangerous vertebrate is a snake. Besides certain bugs, it kills the most humans worldwide.

    You're telling me that in your country where unemployment is super high and the only people paying for welfare (your welfare) are the filthy rich people. There's a widening gap between the upper class and lower class (aka middle class is diminishing). Bestiality is legal, child pornography is ok under certain circumstances. However, it is illegal to own an exotic animal? Y ou gotta be kidding me.

    What The Fuck are you talking about ? ? ? Childporn is not legal !!!

    Shadowlayer: Madhatter256´s information is ancient bible news, and nothing new.

    all porn actors in Denmark are at least 18 years old.

    Because the legal age of consensual bedhumping is 15, then it doesn´t mean childpornography is legal, sorry are you sick in your head or what ?

    Newsflash man ! childporn has been illegal ever since 1982. And what sickens me, is that it has been legal in the first place, you make me sick, even thinking Denmark is a fucking Paedophile lovers place.

    I don´t know where you have been hiding since Gods knows when, but alot has happened since then.

    Ok newsflash again when it comes to law years in Denmark. According to the newest law, then it is allowed to bedhump, when you are 15 and go to jail ! ! !, you are allowed to buy smokes, pornography, and beers (in stores) when you are 16. And when you are 18, then you can get married and vote and buy beers at drinking places. 21 , then you can do all the above, and even get married without your parents consent. So I think it is time to update your kowledge.

    Since I feel a bit offended, even you mentioning something, that is ancient. And sick in the first place. Perhaps you should learn something new about Denmark, instead of looking at magazines from the 70´s period of Color Climax.

    Madhatter256, I feel more than you will ever know offended. What about hitting the Swedes instead ? in Sweden up untill somewhere in the 90´s you could buy childporn legally , if you had it under the desk in the shops.

    And I feel offended you think, that I am a social parasyte, because I am a pensioner ?

    Sorry haven´t I told you before, that I pay my taxes too ?

    I'm basing what I said by what you have said in the past about your country. Don't take the post so literal anyway. Wasn't meant to offend. Again, I'm just saying that based on what you have said before.

    Yeah, but I have never said Child porn was legal.
    And according to the politicians, then again the unemployment rate is the lowest we have had in a long time. So it is not the filthy rich that pays the wellfare, since they cheat in tax. I can´t save Denmark, but I can save myself, by being honest about me, and my country, and not letting lies become truth.

    Madhatter256: you offended me, by calling my country a paedophile country(and by that you called every Dane a paedophile), and you offended me by calling me a social parasyte. And that is something that makes me more angry, than you can ever comprehend. Since I am NOT a social parasyte ! ! ! .

    Not really, we are just defending our turfs. And don´t get me started ;-) :110:

    Since I could go on, and on like the freaking Energiser bunny ;-) (a little humour is always a good icebreaker). But I really do think Madhatter256 should update his knowledge, about the world. Since I am updating my worldly news about countries, every day by seeing BBC world, and CNN, and reading news, on multiple news sites.

    Oh well here is a funny one Disney has copyright on The Little Spermaid, but I think it is not possible, since the fairytale is written by H.C. Andersen, and the whole mythology about mermaids, is older than Disney. And they made a a Danish booktitle be changed, because it had Tarzan in its name (Gummi Tarzan) and now it is called Gummi T (ludicrous) since the whole meaning of the story (and the old film with the name Gummi Tarzan) has lost its meaning by that change.

    Gummi Tarzan, when you translate it means Rubber Tarzan. Screw it, I am updating, and I hope other people are too.

    Here we go again.

    He didn't call your country a paedophile country.

    He didn't say that every Dane was a paedophile.

    He was just misinformed. Get over it. He didn't even say you were on welfare - you were the one who assumed that he did.

    I apologise to everyone involved for bringing up the topic of Denmark: I should have known fucking better.

    Alchy: don´t worry man, I liked your way of telling about a good way of socialism. Thanks man. And I have said before I was a pensioner. Even though I have been misspelling it, called it pensionist.

    It's difficult to get the right balance. In the UK we have our national health system but it is under massive strain from free loaders and bad budgeting. We pay a large amount of tax (probably close to 60% if you include VAT, income tax, national insurance payments, council tax and the various "invisible taxing" that goes on), yet there are long waiting lists for non-essential treatments such as hip replacements, heart conditions, etc. If you're not in the emergency room then you have to wait, basically. Add to this the degrading education system, terrible public services and fuel prices and it makes you wonder how things could get any worse.

    Having said that, I wouldn't want to have to pay the kind of healthcare prices that exist here in America. The cost of even simple medication is insane.

    Funny that in America, we don't have an official national healthcare system, however, a lot of tax payer money is going to hospitals in urban cities where a lot of illegals and poor US citizens get treated for minor things like colds, etc to even serious conditions like gunshot wounds, broken bones. They simply cannot pay, but they have to be treated based on the seriousness of their condition. The taxpayer ends up footing the bill one way or another. Not that this is bad. They do need to be treated, especially the US citizens who simply cannot afford any medical treatment. Hip replacements, heart conditions are considered conditions requiring medical attention as soon as possible, I don't know why you would think of that as a non-essential treatment. Now if there was an official, structured national healthcare system in america, as big as this country is, the federal government really cannot have a system that is capable of treating everyone in a quick and efficient manner. There will always be freeloaders who will clog up the system (in our case it is the illegals) then there will be those who do need it and have to wait longer.

    Also, I don't have insurance. It is expensive and I hardly get sick and when I do I just pay out of pocket, which I get back on my tax return. This is infact cheaper than paying a $2,000 a year just to have a $40 copayment for doctors' visit and pay $20-$60 for prescription drugs. This past week I had bronchitis and only paid $50 for my doctors visit, plus $50 in prescription drugs. That's $100, not expensive at all, for me at least. I only have the type of insurance incase I get a broken bone or something severe, not for minor ailments.

    Anyway....

    *lol* Don't get me started. I really didn't mean to offend you and your country. I was just basing my statement on generalizations you have stated in the past. Besides, who cares if you watch BBC world, CNN, etc., etc. News is news. To me, from what I've come to realize, it is all the same stuff over and over again with different degrees of biasness, attitude, etc. What good will it do me to know every single detail about what is said on the news? Nothing, really! I'm not a historian, I'm not a journalist. I'm not involved in anything that requires me to keep watching the news and remember what goes on. Therefore I don't watch it as much as you do simply because I have other things to do. If I want to know the sociology of a country, its laws, etc. then I will go to school or the library and get books on the subject. I won't rely on the news because they are not there to teach. And the stuff they do teach you could've learned in school. So, if you really want to know more about the world go back to school, go the library, you'll learn a lot more, a lot quicker and usually without opinions in way. Oh, and by the way, you never told me you lived off of welfare, so why get pissed off about it as if you hate knowing the fact you live off of it (which is how you come off to be)? I could care less if you're on it or not, anyway. You're on it for a reason I don't know, so I'm not going to make an assumption there. Just because I don't watch those news channels as often as you do (again because I don't have the time and if I did I'd spend it on something more productive) doesn't mean you're better than me. What good will this information do for me..\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

    That is obviously meant to make me look stupid. I did not know that and I could care less about what Disney did or didn't do. They do that for business reasons so that they can continue to make money and pay their employees who can then feed their families. What good will this information actually do for you in the future? As well as other information similar to this that you know of? If you are simply learning this just for the sake of posting it on the Internet to show off how much 'you know of the world', then you are simply doing it for selfish reasons. Why know all of that if you are not going to do anything with it other than to apply it just like you did now? That is all you do, and continue to do. Posting that doesn't prove anything. It won't change anything.

    With what you 'know' from watching nothing but TV most of the day, are you sick and tired of listening to nothing but bad news over and over again? If so, are you doing anything to stop that? Are you trying to make a difference not just for yourself but for other people as well? Have you ever volunteered at a homeless shelter or food-drive voluntarily, just for sake of helping someone out? Have you ever done anything that when you look back at it, it will make you feel proud for doing it? If this is one of those things, then... you're hopeless.

    I consider them to be essential treatments, but the national healthcare system doesn't, which is my whole point. It fails to give people prompt treatment and a lot of people, especially the elderly, end up suffering.

    I guess the issue is if you had a major problem that required a lot of scans and prolonged treatment, which you're lucky enough to have avoided so far. As you say, emergency room hospital visits are free if you are uninsured and can't pay and the hospital has to provide a basic healthcare provision for people without sufficent means.
