And You Think Your Country Is Screwed Up

[Wagon]

Starting a new thread here to give an example of what goes on elsewhere. I'm sure everyone has some great examples.

Here is a quote from Wikipedia describing the current situation. A minority party in coalition managed to pull this off.

In late 2012 the Centre Party caused controversy in Norway when it emerged that the party had demanded higher import tariffs on meat and hard cheeses to protect Norwegian farmers from foreign competition.[14] This included increased duties of 429% on lamb, 344% on beef, and 277% on all but 14 exempted hard cheeses. [15]

This has actually happened. As a show of how politically dead this place is, the only actual protest was........ A restaurant owner kicked an MP out of his restaurant.

German Bureaucracy

As a foreigner in Germany I have to go "Register" with the local authorities that I am here and they give me with an ID card stating who and from where I am.

Allthough as a Brit within the European Union I can come and go as I wish.

So anyway you fill out all this paperwork in triplicate every couple of years. And they supply a Fandabbydoozy ID card in green paper.

So you go about your business and eventualy you get stopped by the local law, any reason will do. And they will allways ask for you to Identify yourself, so you show them your Fandabbydoozy ID card which Identifies you. And they look at it, take it to their patrol car, radio something and then ask "Whats this?"

You f*cking morons gave it to me, You f*cking morons insist I carry it at all times. So go find the f*ck out what it is...............

Bloody bereaucratic boxheads.

Close this thread. I win.

Flag = redesigned to not have ANY connection with ANYTHING. Nobody really knows what it is.
Anthem = rewritten totally. Words agreed but not sung. All sides sing THEIR old national anthem words over new tune.
Money = 3 languages on it.
Government = 3 of every job. Veto everything to be on the safest side.
Presidential buildings = 2 of them, as some don't want to sit with the others.
Current President = former general of side that tried to seperate itself before.
Unemployment rate = 43%
Yearly wage = 6000 USD

We win.

The milkman is indicative of many Danish business men I've met. But they have got nothing on the Norwegians in the "screw the foreigner" game. It's a Viking tradition.

Nope -- the alien registration card (aka "green card").

BTW -- that is a nice German shepherd dog in your avatar!
