  • No representation without taxation

    If you don't pay taxes you should have no say in how they are spent.

              I know. Because the poor Greeks need more money to support their unsuccesful businesses and politics, build their roads and repair their falling buildings. You should be represented by Albanians. Then go ask your money back. Get robbed in the process. Justice.

                  there should be like taxes if you want to pay them. If you don't pay thme, then you don't get the benefits and services. Sounds only fair.

                    this thread sucks...

                    just thought I'd say that before it turns into a Cap/Com debate.

                        Pekka you are a proud finn! even though slave to the russian politics.
                        but if there ever was a war and you were surrouned by russian brothers ready to give you the final blow, I'd come between them and you and I'd say: stop! for he is my friend and I wish him no ill fate!

                          Well, what can I say to that. I would appreciate it. But when that final ... blow comes, I think you will be somewhere else, like in the beaches of Greece, talking to girls and swimming. I'll be freezing my butt, stuck in some mud hole, trying to get my fingers work and wonder if they really do force prisoners to rape each other at gunpoint.

                          But it's a nice thought so I hope you keep your word .

                              Pekka, talking about girls, I have two on my radar these days. One is... anyway very different. I guess they represent two different aspects of my personality. But untill I have sex with one of them it's ok if I go out with both?

                              I'm sure it is
