Too many people behave like assholes when they are on vacation. Many people distributed across all nationalities. Some are just noticed more, there are allot more germans (just an example) then luxemburgians (No idea how you call them) so there are more german tourists. Statistically speaking it would be very normal to have more bad tourists too then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamme 0 Posted July 8, 2003 I'm starting to get pissed off at EU. They're banning tar! A lot more poisonous stuff is being made in factories all over the EU! ie. In Britain they're selling stuff that is used to impregnate wood that is so poisonous that it's banned here in Finland, and they ban tar! Grilled food is also on the list! I've eaten grilled food for all my life and I'm still here! It's also been said that sauna could be banned too! I don't know if EU is such a good thing after all. It's been a huge disappointment. What good have they done? Nothing. They should concentrate on improving the economy, but maybe they're just so incompetent that they can't so they have to do things like this Finland should resign, I don't want to live in a shithole called EU anymore.

Why on earth would one want to ban sauna's ? Does sound like a rather retarded thing to do. Better ban open waste dumping into rivers or the hunting of whales by member states ...... but sauna's ?

-TU--33ker 0 Posted July 8, 2003 It's quite natural to insult inhabitants of other countries to behave very bad on vacation. I think also people from England are often seen as permanently drunken bastards whithout any sense for etiquette! But I wouldn't piss them off if I was Stefani. Italy's poor south would be even poorer without all the tourists from Germany. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm... The part about grilled food and saunas sounds like complete BS to me! Why should saunas and grilled food be banned? Any link or is it just paranoia? Seriously, this can't be true! Don't you think you overreact because of the tar? The only thing I've heard about EU and tar is that they want to reduce tar in cigarrettes. And this can't be that bad.

Tamme 0 Posted July 8, 2003 I don't know any links (unless you understand finnish),but it reads right here in the newspaper. Tar will be banned unless Finland can prove that it's safe. We should test it and send the results to EU, but the test costs 1-5 million euros and we can't afford that. Grilling will be banned too, and sauna is on the kill list. True story.

sanctuary 19 Posted July 8, 2003 If the European Union can prevent any future war between 2 members of this organisation, i will remain pro-EU Only for this, i think EU is a good thing But if one day , EU fails to this task, it will be useless to continue to stay in. EU agriculture politics decision are really hard for some people and lead to a lot of problems actually. I wonder how Muss..erm Berlusconi will deal with that , as arrogant behaviour and stupidity will not work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you know for example how bad diesel combustion engines are to the environment and us people. Anyone who even has a slight tendency for bronchitis or asthma is in big trouble with all the diesel power the EU has. The sut from the emmisions gets into your lungs and basically sits there until you really cough up. It would be interesting to read up on this, Americans have gas guzzling tanks, while Europeans have asthma inducing cars. Or something like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NurEinMensch 0 Posted July 8, 2003 Come on, banning tar... that just makes no sense. Maybe they are talking about a very special kind of tar for some weirds purposes that is only used in two villages around Kuopio or something like that... still weird!
