     Kimmel can have his job back if he makes a public apology and a meaningful personal donation to TurningPointUSA according to People.

    I have literally no idea what you mean ? Tommy Robinson is more or less proof “normal” countries can disagree without shooting each other or getting other people fired - even though people don’t agree with each other ? - I don’t hope you thought for one second I would get angry for you not liking immigrants - I don’t give a fuck about you ! You could get hit by a car tomorrow or get p.ussy for the first time in your life and my happiness or sadness wouldn’t change one bit depending on which of these occurred

    Don't mention the frogs - we don't want to scare the toddler - we want him to sleep

    I never said a word about right wing conspiracy. You brought that up. I just know Kash, Fat Donnie, and Utah authorities are lying to you because they know you will eat any story they create up word for word. This is a perfect illustration. 

    Yes you keep believing that unauthenticated text message chain that will never be permitted as evidence in trial between Robinson and "roommate".

    I'm sure a 22 year old gamer, furry, groyper that writes in meme talk that won't speak to authorities about anything wrote like this.  "My love, I was going to take this to the grave with, but please look yonder under the keyboard, I've left a special note designated for you about my motivations for the killing of Kirk. I am also going to detail every part of my crime in this very text message. I must go now, there are vehicles lingering in the area." GULLIBLE.
    The same people that do not believe in science or claim that medicine does not work and is killing us believe that this is true. Simply hilarious.

    Pretty disgusting that people can be so happy about someone being murdered for preaching their ideas and immediately resonate to the same hatred that they are claiming the one who was murdered had...A bit ironic by most who are devaluing a persons life for having beliefs different than your own....pretty sad state of affairs we are in as people when one tries to spin and dehumanize a person that did not deserve to be murdered...pretty pathetic

    COVERS allows u to tell someone they are sexually frustrated so long as ur hands are clean

    A quick google search yields:

     

    Taxes in Denmark consist of a progressive personal income tax with a top marginal rate of up to 55.90%, a flat 22% corporate tax, and a 25% Value-Added Tax (VAT). The rates for income and other taxes vary depending on income level, municipality, and the specific type of income.

     

    • Labor market tax (AM-bidrag): An 8% tax is applied to all employment and self-employment income before other income taxes are calculated.
    • State tax: Consists of a bottom tax rate of 12.01% and a top tax rate of 15% on personal income above DKK 611,800 (after the 8% labor market contribution).
    • Municipal tax: A local income tax with an average rate of 25.068%. This rate varies by municipality.
    • Tax ceiling: The combined rate of the state bottom tax, municipal tax, and state top tax is capped at 52.07%. However, the 8% labor market tax and optional church tax are not included in this ceiling.
    • Church tax: An optional tax for members of the Danish State Church (Lutheran).

    That youtube snippet about The Communist Directive is fact, not just about the content of the video but actually about life. Keep saying something enough, whether true or not, and others begin to believe it. Happens all the time and it is the power of persuasion. Advertising uses the same agenda. You can see at work, your social groups, families and even here with the same rhetoric being spewed post after post. Power of repetition is real.

    Hmm the Danish taxing system is actually pretty hard to explain to someone that doesn’t know it - because there are tons of stuff you can buy and do where you can deduct those amount from taxes you should pay - and you pay less if you have children a certain age etc. and we pretty much don’t pay for anything else - like our healthcare is free - you get money from the state if you attend school, you get 52 weeks paid maternity leave, you get 6 weeks+ vacation a year, everyone gets a pension, if you lose your job you are paid 80% of your “earlier salary” for a year or until you find job (whichever happen first) etc. - so it is complex - I think the easiest way to say it is - if you are rich - US is miles better than Denmark for your net worth - if you are “an average Joe” they are more less equal - and if you are poor Denmark is miles better -> that would be pretty close to being the correct assessment 

    Don't mention the frogs - we don't want to scare the toddler - we want him to sleep

    But I think the biggest “mistake” you guys make regarding me and other Europeans is you consider us as “locked” to our country as you guys - I could pretty much tomorrow move to one of the other EU member states no different than how you guys could move states (I didn’t even have to ask for anyone’s permission) - and there are European countries that pay way less taxes than Scandinavia (we even have a few with close to zero taxes) - if that was my main concern and I wasn’t happy living here  an_cheers

    having visited Denmark, albeit back in late 80's as a kid, I would agree with what you said about the hierarchy....We stayed with families during our soccer tour and it was probably the most interesting experience I have had my entire life...The people are great and super friendly, at least those that I came across...Calde you might be the angriest Danish I have ever encountered...at least that's the way you come across over the keyboard, but you may be a good Dane in person if you are also drinking wine for breakfast with your cereal...that was a shock, but I didn't mind it....the warm milk being kept outside in a igloo cooler for my cereal was a bit strange though...

    I wasn’t born in the 80’s - so I can’t say how times have changed - Danes are pretty laid back and relaxed - in most of Europe we are called the “Southern Europeans of Scandinavia” - because in general we are more “welcome and warm” than our other Scandinavian counterparts ! But Scandinavia in general are pretty far off from that fake American politeness you probably used to ! If we think you are ugly or stupid and we think it will help you being told that - we will tell you that ! If you are stranger we will be your best friend if we think you are cool - if not we won’t take much notice if you sit in the corner crying to our party because you have none to talk to (we will probably just discuss why you don’t go home instead of ruining our mood) — so I am not angry - but I am not used to live in an environment where your main concern is how you are perceived by others - I literally almost vomit when you guys say “my brother” or “ohh I miss you” etc. unless you guys of course know each other from real life then it is something else ! - but you are an avatar for me (not a real person) and so is the next guy - so why should I care about any of you - and I don’t expect you guys to treat me any different than I treat you

    But I am pretty sure neither how much taxes Denmark pay, how we are perceived by others and how much of an asshole I am - have anything to do with “Americans freedom of speech” nor the shooting of this Kirk guy - so I will be the voice of reason here - since I always get told I derail every topic
