Hello and welcome to the Seriousness Room
*Hands out blue-haired evil cookies*
This is the typical room made for serious discussions and such.
There are a few rules in this room:
1. Treat the personal opionions, questions, answers and the likes with a full 110% Respect! You can ofcourse do not agree with one's opinion, but you don't need to start CAPSING, swearing or make fun of this person in a crueal way. Doing this will result in a ban for a whole week!
2. all things you type here will be seen as a serious comment, so if you are, like me having difficulties not being serious all the time, you can make all unserious remarks by typing these text between [ these weird bars...lol]
3. all things inside the [weird bars] are not ment to be discussed upon and are there only for the lolz.
I hope we can have a serious [almost]grown up, conversations here wich may or may not have any meaning whatsoever. The thread is now officially open!
And allow me to start with the first thing we can discuss about. What do you feel about the current law-system in your country?

I think the law system we have is a crappy one...
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.......... also the "Zorgverzekering" (around 80 euro's a month) we have should be brought back to the old 5 euro cost.... (in the Guilder period according to my parents they payed only like 10 guilders back then...)
Also punishments are waaaaaaaay to low, if you want to kill someone you can and you'll only get so many years of prison >_______> which is mostly not much.
And I want the old Guilder back... ;;;____________;;; everything was sooooo much cheaper with it.
And then they say we are a democracy while the truth is different. Sure we can vote every 4 years but that's it... no one asked us if we wanted the Euro (look at Denmark for example) they should listen more to the people instead of their wallets.
Taxes are way too high here as well.
I really hope that this government will fall soon so we can vote again. This time I hope peopel arent stupid enough to vote for Balkenende again (4 times in a row....) I'd say Rita Verdonk ^^.
So that was my vision on it.

Pretty good, I think.
Like Koruam mentioned, I'd have to say that the taxes here are quite high too. My mom is always complaining about them, so we have times when we got no money and times when we have too much so we need to spend it. -__-
As for the punishments, we talked about them in school. And all of us agree that some crimes don't have a punishment strong enough. For example, a girl gets sexually abused and the only thing the abuser gets is about 3 years in prison. No money or therapy for the girl, who probably got traumatized for the rest of her life. Sucks for her.
Overall I'm happy. Our government is good, and I'm glad we have people who vote the right people. Thank you, Suomi! xD

Hmm well I believe I have to agree with you. I personally don't know much stuff about taxes, healthcare insurance and such, as my father rather wants me out of the way when he takes care of that, but I did noticed the uprising in prices here in Holland.
The euro should have been great and all that we got with that was higher prices and lower salary, real nice thinking, morons! [referring to the suckers who taught this up]
Anyways, as for the punishment with crimes here, i must say that a pillow made of silk is harder then the punishments dealt here.
Ever saw a prison here? Well I can say that if I ever come homeless it is safe to know i can always throw a brick trough a window so that I can have a free stay in such a great 3-star hotel!
I say push up those punishment. bring back the prisons we all fear so much, [where big Bubba's drop soap and ask you to pick it up.] What the hell is wrong with pushing those criminals in a small confinend 4 by 4 room, with nothing to eat then water and bread and the only source of entertainment is the small heavily barred window.
I find it ridicilous that people are sentenced for a few years after they comitted murder, they killed someone, messed up an entire family so the logical way to deal with them is by killing them aswell. Preferably I would let those guys rot in jail for their entire lifes, but that takes up space and resources which can be used for far better purposes...

Yes I agree with you as well, I totally forgot that the prisons here are like a hotel.... why for the love of the Gods? why?
Or as my grandfather told me: Send them to Siberia to work! XD
