What is NERC-bill?

Well, here it seem to be that we have some anti fun filter, all laws etc. seem to aim to fun spoiling.

Let's take for example new car, something subtle like Dodge Viper Srt-10. This machine does cost around 87 000 US dollars in US, in here it does cost no less than 180 000 euros.

You are allowed to make noise when you drive and you are not allowed to drive unless you are going to point a to point b, one friend of mine just got ticket, there reads driving without purpose, that is direct translation.

At least in UK you can put up company and make money from it without people think that you are greedy bastard or criminal, also taking someone to work for you is reasonable priced in UK when compared how it is here, you pay 100% amount of salary to taxes and expenses so if you pay 1000 euros a month salary it does cost you 2000 euros really.

But sure it sounds like that UK is going same direction as here, just faster :(

Our freedom and democracy seem to be quite limited soon compared to 'evil' ways of middle east.

I think that when woman got the power is pure coincidence in this things going wrong direction thing, same time we have got wild west to business and big leaps in science that have caused our world to change.

However I'm starting to suspect that democracy is perhaps not best way, don't hang me because of this, but I really start to think that people need someone to lead them or it will be mess as it now starts to look like to be.

You can't just drive for fun in Finland!! :o

The government just over reacts with everything, like the Violent Crime Reduction Bill which will come in this year, bans any kind of toy gun being sold if it resembles a real gun. So there are loads of people out there who just want to have fun with airsoft guns (bb guns) (very low power air guns that are currently classified as toys, as they won't penetrate skin.

These will be banned from sale, but criminals will still get their illegal guns :(

The petition site was struggling this morning. Loads of people signing up :)

Yep, we get bad bits of democracy and also from some dictatorship even AFAIK here is no dictatorship, just bunch of not so bright old guys arguing from meaningless things and generally not doing their job too well :lol:

To be fair, must say that here is lot of good things too, but some insane laws are spoiling lot of good things.

In name of terrorism and environment there seem to be silly laws going trough, why is it so, is it because politics really don't care or is it because someone or something has bigger plans? Always fun to see conspiracy everywhere, isn't it? :D
