Can anyone find a single original copy of PotC anymore?

Denmark made a terror law package 3 years back .

Have "FREE" healthcare. we do pay 35-45% in taxes so thats something.
 
In the Netherlands we pay at least the same amount of tax and we DON'T have free healthcare! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whippa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":whipa" border="0" alt="whippa.gif" />
 
you dutch you have legal weed stop complaining!!!

free puplic shcool is a part of the policy here aswell..
and we can get a tax level of 65% if it is.
of and the danish goverment get 25% of the value of goods in moms.
taxes on cigerrates and alkohol is nasty not as nasty as sweden or norway but still.

How the bloody hell it all works i have no idea of its like politicians we elect em because we can't lock em up in a dungeon and torture em..

and the danish laws on copyright is confusing since theres one for text, one for goods and one for software..
 
I don't WANT legal weed. I don't want weed at all. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/razz.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":razz" border="0" alt="razz.gif" />

Well I dont know NSA legislation 100% - dont they spy on everybody, regardless of borders? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Sweden is not a member of NATO, but a EU-member since 1995.
They are neutral like Schwitzerland. Swedish cooperation with NATO is based on a longstanding policy of military non-alignment.
Eu does not have a uniform legislation regarding software piracy. However, there is a cross-organisation intelligence cooperation on counterfeiting and software piracy. Of course, I might add...

<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->The Pirate Bay site is still online. Is it being based in another country now?<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yes, those servers was physically placed inside the borders of Sweden. I would´nt know if it is still online, as the Danish National Court made every danish ISP block the Pirate Bay DNS.


Please understand, that I am not against legislations on counterfeit and software piracy. But the way this is done, is blaming the ISP for letting you download illegal software. Just like blaming the British Mail for delivering packages with illegal content. There was no illegal software on these servers - only trackers. connecting private computers (peer-to-peer).

Notes on Pirate Bay:

- as The Pirate Bay is a private company like facebook, it is hard to see through their funding. It is, however, known that TPB is operating with a loss.

- The extreme right-winged philantrop and capitalist Carl Lundström, heir to the multinational breadmanifacturer Wasaknäck, is known to have donated large amounts of money, financing TPB.
 
For terrorism, since I travel a lot by airplane, first you get through body search and there's a rule for no liquid packages above 150mL on handbags... Wtf is that for? Nitroglycerin? Or attempt to drown the pilote? That's ashes on the people's eyes, I managed to get a screwdriver (good lord!) through by pairing it with metal Parker pens.

I heard that they were planning to move Pirate Bay, but failed. Also, I find it extraordinry for the accused to win, since it's going to be a huge turn in favor of the people, which is something that has never happened in history. If they win, it's lik giving the right to people to freely download without any copyright. There are some countries that allow that however, one of them bing India.

Netherland's and Scandinavia system is really looked up to, and personally I would prefer their social sytem. Greece is quite close to them in what the state provides, although we have a right wing goverment at the moment (soon will fall though, they are scandal ridden and anti- social measure masters, they got 151 in a parliament of 300, they are really callous not to have resigned already) which made the national airways, telecoms and soon railways private. Damned they be!
 
Those new anti-terror laws are global, I think. You should not do that again.
Last year, a 24-yo female university student was arrested (and jailed) here for saying "My handbag? Uh well, got some bombs and nitroglycerine in my DKNY-perfum..care to have a look?!"

Some flight-attendants lack humour.. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
Thankfully never happened to me, I screw with them all the time, but since I received a very threatening face from a Gatwick official in London and read a nasty poster saying any offensive languge improper behaviour etc. is prosecuted I stopped doing it in the UK.
 
As a crewmember of a ship, upon flying into the USA, they were VERY suspicious and had to cross-reference with Holland America Line that I really DID work there.
Still, in my couple of times in the USA and other countries, I do believe that I could've smuggled all sorts of nasty stuff in if I really would've wanted to.
Thankfully I really would NOT. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/razz.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":razz" border="0" alt="razz.gif" />
 
That'd be a big illegal... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
