So if someone asks you to make them chamomile then it's cool; you just can't make chamomile and 'push' it. lol 'pushing' chamomile. We're going to have to either mangle the language to keep up with this bullshit, or shut down the bullshit. |

It may seem paradoxical but the more laws are passe the freer you are do what you want without being bothered by authority. |

(:-DeeZe "The love that you withhold is the pain that you carry" “To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion, to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly, to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart, to bear all cheerfully, to all bravely await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.” .........William Henry Channing |

Do you want more irony? I'm in Brazil and I am drinking my camomile tea right now I grew up in Brazil and have Brazilian citizenship, and lately I think often of returning You know, back in the old days of the dictatorship and wild inflation, I remember my father's publisher telling us an excellent joke about Brazilian hell I think this joke is more true today than ever It goes like this: There's a deviant who dies, and immediately goes to hell, but on arriving at hell he discovers that each country has it's own regional hell Being a Brazilian (cira 1980, they thought the US was efficient, lol) he says: "well, if I'm going to go to hell, I might as well go to the most efficient, well run hell - I'll go the American hell" Upon arrival at Hell USA, a clean cut young mormon greets him and says: "Welcome to hell USA! Here is our schedule: From 12.01 am to 10 am, you will be roasted in an oven at 1000 C and you will experience the torments of the damned as the flesh roasts off your bones. From 10.01 am to 5pm, you will be lashed without mercy by a dozen demons who will strip whatever meat is left and you will beg for mercy, but none will be given. Then from 5.01 PM to midnight, you will be placed in a freezer colder than antarctica and you will wish you were dead, but your mind will be awake even as your body is frozen to immobility" At that point, you are placed back in the ovens and the routine continues, so on and on, for eternity. Any questions? The Brazilian gulps and thinks, well maybe I'll try a less efficient hell, let me go to the Italian hell. Well, he soon discovers that with the exception of the accent, ALL the hells are identical in cruelty and punishment At that point he says..."If I'm going to go to hell, I might as well go the Brazilian hell and be with my own people" However, on arriving at the gate of the Brazilian hell, he finds an enormous line to get in. "Typical Brazilian third world BS he thinks..." But then he notices there are Brits, Americans, Japanese and even Swiss deviants on line to get into the Brazilian hell He starts poking at the man ahead of him on line: "Eh, my friend, why so many people trying to get into Brazilian hell?" The guy ahead of him gets irritated, but finally says: OKAY OKAY, but DON'T TELL ANYONE ELSE! It goes like this The oven? It's been broken for 30 years, it only goes up to about 35C and the Brazilians sit inside getting a tan and playing guitar. The dozen devils giving lashings? Well, they got a 2nd job playing football for the English hell. They just show up, sign their card, and leave. Someone smuggled in a TV so they sit around watching novelas The guy who imported the refrigerator got the budget for a full sized unit, but only spent on a mini-cube he bought from his cousin, big enough to hold some choppes. He left for Miami years ago, hasn't been heard from, so it's a party every night AND PLEASE don't tell anyone else about Brazilian hell, otherwise one of these days some smart ass might actually try and "fix it".. |

If only fellow citizens refuse to comply to be stasi spies for the government, it won't happen Ask how many laws are being enforced in Greece right now? No doubt, that is precisely what is driving the control freaks at the ECB crazy...still they don't realize that the more they push for enforcement and the more minute laws they pass the harder it will be to find the budget to enforce them all |

Quoting: whiskey2012 They just havent been enforcing it yet. DO YOUR RESEARCH indeed it has.. and actually, they would have a lot of trouble enforcing that here in NZ. The majority of kiwi's will ignore it and the police are highly unlikely to enforce it. |
