stupid question too Mr.V

[corrado]

In Austria, with the Euro everything got a lot more expensive, especially the little things of daily need, where shops had a tendency to round a lot and always upwards. The exchange rate was 1€= 13,7603 ATS, which is not very easy to calculate with, so obviously many shops converted with 1€=10 ATS.

As mentioned by Morgana, prices were already increased heavily about 1 year before the € came, because later it was forbidden to increase prices for some time. All the vending machines for coffee, drinks, park tickets... do not accept the small units like 1,2 and 5 cent, which also caused an increase of prices.

The only advantage for me (personally) is: €-zone-internal money transfer is much easier now, banks are not allowed to take more charges for a transfer Austria - Germany than for Austria-Austria (makes the ordering of CDs cheaper ), but this regulation is new (works since this summer, i guess) and did not start with the currency change.

PS. Lately, someone in Austria payed with a 300€ note (which does not exist) in a restaurant and got a lot of money back. As picture, the 300€ note showed naked women....

MetalMarianne - If you really like the looks of our king you should consider lobotomy...
It's much funnier with the euro where sweden+finland make balls and a dick

It was just a naive answer to the naive comment "euros come in nice colors" made by Light (no mean to offend anyone, since I'm new here)

And I'm considering lobotomy since a couple of years.... yeap - why not? :hotjump:

 

[FatherVic]

well it seems the change will have to wait since today a deranged killed the Swedish exterior minister Anna Lindh and now the referendum is due to be decide if postponed or not due to this death...

it's sad that this things happen in developed countries...

 

[TB666]

What happened to Anna lindh was a true tragedy.
She was probably the only Socialdemokrat that I liked.

 

[Jan-Erik]

It bloody sucks. But media is making it much to sentimental and personal.

 

[Melancholia]

yes,it's indeed very sad
In pics and stuff i saw many many many people having left flowers and stuff,so probably she must have been loved by the people.....
Crap After reading and watching some webbTv in dagens nyheter i feel quite low.......It is sad when people die that way,for NO reason,just because somebody "chose" it for them....

 

[Hell Mike]

She was hot for a 40-odd woman, other than thar I grieve no more than for any other deadie I don't know - Not at all. What is it that should make me find her value higher than anyone elses? The fact that she was a politician? I also find it annoying that her death is all that newspapers and TV care about today.

 

[Melancholia]

Well,since she was a politician and thus know to people i find it quite logical to have her on newspaper and TV...i mean on newspaper we read about murders of people that we've never heard before,isn't it normal and justified to hear about politicians,too? Moreover,the fact that she was involved in the goverment and in things happening to your country somehow makes her death "interesting" and creates a lot of "whys"... She was important in a´public way let's say and thus all the interest...
Apart from that,i wouldn't say that it makes her life more valuable than anybody elses.... and also the grieve people feel for her is definitely not the type of grieve these people will feel for some of their beloved ones... Generally,i think that so tragic/unfair/call it whatever events upset people and affect them in a certain way... I guess many people felt upset about the murder of the 5 year old child in Arvika or the disappearance/murder of that girl in Njurunda,it's just that when somebody famous dies or some person who was important in whichever way for them they tend to get a bit more moved that when somebody unknown to them dies......

I for one feel pretty disappointed and shocked and upset when such murders and deaths happen around us.....be it of famous or infamous people.....

Is sweden all they talk about in greecemedia? It seams that you know all of the murder taking place in sweden!!

 

[Melancholia]

hehe,no it's not the greek media! It's Dagens Nyheter which i read from time to time when i have time....

 

[Hell Mike]

I simply feel that they exaggerate... But then again, my opinion often differs from that of the public

 

[Vintersägen]

When I heard about the Anna Lindh's death, I imediatelly remebered this thread...
I got so surprise that I didn't almost believe in it.
Here in Brazil that happens a lot(not with ministers, cause they always are with a lot of security guards). Last year it was with a cople of Mayors, this year with a copple a judges... But Brazil just sucks... That shouldn't happen in developed countrys, and specially not in Sweden.

Here I don't think it has any bookstore or anything that sells de Dags Nyheter, but I think the news wouldn't chock the people, cause that kind of news(like the little girl's) happens here all the time... Something like once in a month, so we got a little used to it... But again, it shouldn't happend in Sweden.

I'm a little out of the news about the minister's case... Any suspicious groups or something like that?

 

[TB666]

NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOO
The "yes to EMU" lost misarably.
A other victory for the conservetiv communist sweden

 

[Hell Mike]

We have to fucking many communists here.
Also, neo-nazis do NOT understand the views of Hitler and thus they too are against EU and all that comes with it. Ignorant fucks the lot of them.

Do you compare Communist to nazis? Sorry, but I think that is really follish... I'm sure you will talk about the extreme communist, but the extreme capitalists kill people as well... Nothing to extreme is too good(maybe extreme metal, but that's another story... hehehehe).

In the other politics thread I'm quoted from Scream magazine back from ´98-99 something, but I'm not shure that my view are exactly the same now adays, with the last few years of increased violience and social misery..and..and ..and..I'm not that shure that I still like my country, at least not in its full purpose, still I like my area and the nature...but we've turned into a nation that serves an finacial ellite...and I have a hard time to cope with that.

But ordinary party politics are a thing that I don't think and care of, why?? they're all involved in lies and self-beneficial matters!!

[TB666]

you are right Sorath
There are 2 many communist and nazis in this country.
Those conservative bastards are destroying this country.
How can a country evolve by standing still ?

mr V

It was me who posted that interview. Sorry about the old one, but i was searching for one in which you directly said not to be a nazi. And that was the only one i found. (Although I once have read another).

increasing violence, social misery, financial elite, scandal-parties... the same like in nearly every other country in the world.
Therefore i think it is ridiculous to be proud of any country in the world, that is ones home.
And love for ones area and nature is in my opinion not political at all.

But in spite of all that, you can´t complain to be a swedish, and I´m also rather happy to be a german.

 

[Hell Mike]

I did not compare (neo)nazis and commies, I just meant to point out the fact that both groups voted NO. My personal definitions of both nazis and communists are extremely loose and not correct at all, and I'm aware of that. I just like it better my way, when 90% of all people are either-or.
