No need for official  censorship when you have self-censorship.

nope, I buy lots of stuff made in finland by a company called fiskars.  they are competetive with the chinese crap when you factor in quailty.  i'll pay a few dollars more for a better quality item.

mersu, my dad just returned from a trip to finland he said gasoline was closer to US$8.00

 Right turn on red is one of the best trafic feature  comparing with Europe, also makes trafic move better. Also, left on green , not advanced green
   The brits are nut head with their driving on the left side of the road, i don't get it,Why don't they give it up?
 Now they have that tunel are better conected with the rest of Europe, i didn't drive throgh it, i was wondering how they make the shift from one side of the road to the other when they reach the other shore??!! Or they use trains to haul the cars?

Few years ago, i rented a car in Bermuda, and happy jumped on the road to visit the island, but shortly after  slowly and careful .i drove back and give them back the car, that trafic on the left side was a is not logic, and dangerous for one not ussed to it, The island is small, no hwy just narrow 2 way roads,anytime i pass a vehicle on the right side , i forgot to move back on the left

i dont know where u live, but right turn on red is an aged stone
in the part of Europe at least where i live, but whats going on here for a few
years is we are removing traffic lights completely if its possible and
build rondells, like this pic belowe, its a more bigger rondell though,
there are many much smaller ones.

There is almost no stop for cars, everything flows.
Comparing to the us, this is a hughe + for Europe

[rogerdee]

Ghi the government have decide that from 2007 all  trucks and buses will drive on the right side of the road.



 If this works  in 2008  theyll let the cars do it too.


theres nothing wrong with driving on the left its our island and we got to confuse the french some how

  I was born in Romania, i ussed to work in Stuttgart also , i live in Toronto for 8 years, and drove in most of Europe, North America, soo i can compare,
Your picture is the ideal intersection , but reality is not like that,how many intersection like that are in Europe in city trafic? I fly every year from Toronto to Amsterdam /Frankfurt/Paris  rent a car and drive for pleasure through Europe to Transivania  to see my parents,  
The city trafic in Europe is much worst, narrow streets, small parking also the  unlimited speed limit on the autobahn in Deutchland is crazzy, you will not see speed limit over 75-80 mph,(130km/h) in US, and 120km/h max in Canada,

A) No need for such
B) We do have, I live right next door to one
C) We have satellite, the US supply will do
D) Containers? We get cheap stuff smuggled from Russia in those if that's what you mean.
E) Presence of these is growing all the time as they renew signaling

Most things that are in the US are also present in europe if then in smaller amounts.

And ps. don't listen to mora I think he's listed in the communist party.

We have that exact joke with Swedish government.

Another good one with the Swedish is the trick question: Why are Swedish police teams always a pair of man and a woman?

They want to prevent relationships between police officials..

How wrong can you be?

A) There actually is an "NRA".
B) No we don't, kiosk's and gas stations are not proper supermarkets(limited selections and rip-off prices in most cases). Not even a 7-Eleven could legally operate here.
C) There is a christian channel on cable
D) Yes we have an open container law. A friend actually got fined once.
E) There's absolutely no right turn on red. There are arrow signals, which are good, but they are not the same thing at all.

Communist?  That's funny 'cause to me You actually sound like the regular leftist Joe.

(Ylläoleva ei millään pahalla, tai turhalla vakavuudella.)

This is totally OT.

The recent freedom of press study(to which MrRipley pointed earlier) was ridiculous. Denmark was down to 19th place from last years first. The reason was apparently the Prophet Mohammad case! It was a French study, so what can you expect...

[MrRiplEy[H]]

Well you're wrong mora. There are several new junctions which have a free right turn lane despite having a red light in the crossroad. Maybe not in your city.

While there are no 'supermarkets' 24/7 the ABC grocery stores provide everything needed grocery wise which is enough for at least me.

As what goes for NRA while we have an association, it can hardly be compared to NRA fighting for the constitutional right to bear arms lol.

Section C) I mean who could care less?

And about the leftist thing, I recall you making very leftist comments on earlier discussions thats why the comment. I'm a private business owner so I'm about as un leftist as it gets - but that hardly means I'm advocating any breakdown of the current social security systems. I prefer to evade taxes where necessary.
