more proof (at least for HZ ultraright ideologues) of the depravity of 'socialist Europe"
blind man bites guide dog
.. well, obviously the guide-dog service must have been state-provided, so you see the gratitude people show for things they don't have to pay for??
and -
deliberately disturbing neighbours with recording of a rooster:
BERLIN: Before leaving on holiday, a German couple set up a loudspeaker and timer with the sound of a crowing cock to blast their neighbours every morning.
After complaints, police in the northern town of Itzehoe obtained a warrant to enter the house and discovered the gear with the speakers aimed at the neighbours' home and rigged to a timer.
"The apparatus switched on between two and four o'clock in the morning and produced a cock crowing at an enormous volume. This would last for 20 minutes with breaks in between," police said.
Police confiscated the gear and charged the holidaymakers, who are still away, with bodily harm and disturbing the peace.
- well, that speaks for itself doesn't it?? I mean, what with their long holidays, minimum wages .. what else would you expect? .. Wouldn't happen under "free" enterprise, eh?
And the final joke is that you guys still persist in 'naming' Europe as "socialist" when in fact it is nothing more than state/taxpayer subsided welfare capitalism. 'Socialism' means the complete nationalization of all means of production and distribution - um, isn't that somewhat different?? .. But these are surely just irritating subtleties to people who would view any welfare or state-provided services as "creeping socialism". So, I thus admit complete defeat and join you in the worship of Monetarist Mammon, the all-powerful. These examples above were so convincing ...
