Truth about Denmark?

In the middle ages, when the serfs had to forfeit 30% of their crop, that was considered slavery.

It was? By whom?

It may have been considered unjust, but where does the slavery part come in? Do you understand what "slavery" means?
 
A thread about Denmark! With Claus and DD and mbp in it! Why wasn't I invited? ;)

(that's all I really wanted to say - I'm sure some of you were wondering if I would show up :D)

No, not really. Cynical, perhaps. Hey...you are not a Cynical clone??? :D

Because you couldn't keep yourself form going into a passionate soliloquy about your undying love for me?

I wish I could take credit for her being my sock puppet. That would go down as one of the greatest jokes on both this and the TVTalkshow boards. :D

Sadly, I am not talented enough to be that shallow, boring and ignorant.

Count your blessings. ;)
 
Denmark is a wonderful country. Too bad it's SO hard to understand what they are saying. Even if you know the language. I'm Norwegian, and the languages are really similar. It's just that they don't know how to speak clearly.

I was there on a biking vacation last year. And sometimes people just gave us up. We just didn't undestand a word they were saying.

It's a great thing how many roads there are for bikes there. I thought it was quite funny that biking road number one actually wen through someone's back yard.

350 km in 3,5 days with a knee that hurt like hell the last two days. That's what I call a biking trip! (:

Yes. Sorry.

Back in the early days of this board, when I used to have to type on a wooden keyboard, myself and the Danes of the Tundra had many epic battles on the social polices of our repective governments. Nowadays, I'm too old and brittle to fight dem fights, so I just mock Claus like he should be mocked[/old man mode]

Well, if you lived in a decent country that promoted inovation and ingenuity, you could have a better computer. :p

(that was just a joke, I'm jealous - I'm typing on an Atari PET with a cassette drive)

Come on now, your old a*s could barely type that, let alone lift your arms up high enough to put up your dukes. :D

Diezel, you know you are always welcome. You are also welcome not to participate. I promise, whatever your choice, even crawling back to the Banter section to play King of the Hill, we still love you. :D ;)

>>It isn't 'confiscation'. It's taxes. Decided by politicians. Elected by people. <<

Just like the Institution of Slavery in pre-civil war US. Perfectly legal; and instituted by politicains elected by the "people".

>>Had you an inkling of knowledge about Denmark, you would not say such rubbish.<<

So far you only challenge semantics. Socialist health care? Socialist education? Socialist pensions? Socialist welfare? Sociialized productivity? But not socialist? If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, etc....

>>And, even if it is none of your damn business, taxes had nothing to do with my moving to the US.<<

Nah. Probably prefer a climate of multi-culturalisim, eh?


>>"Voluntarily"? It's the law, baby. What happens to you if you do not want to voluntarily obey the law?<<

All depends. I wonder how many tax resisters there are in Denmark? And how many are in jail and for how long? Or worse? Or do they escape to America?

Yeah. It means you are forced to work without pay. If you are forced to work but are only alllowed to keep 25 percent of the fruits of your productivity then you are a 75 percent slave. Get it?

Health care, pensions and welfare are not socialist, but humanistic. I don't know where you have the idea that education in Denmark is "socialist". Productivity? It is illegal for the state to compete with the private sector. Wrong there, buddy.

I married a home-sick American. Wrong again, buddy.

Go do your own homework, before you start criticizing.

But a 1% slave is still a slave? Where is the limit to when people are slaves or not?
 
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't there public schools in America? That is, schools that you pay for through taxes?
