Do not look at Tony Halme who was silly. Look at Kauko Juhantalo... we got convicted people there...
Yep. and Kauko-setä's done very well on his second time around.
But everything's relative:
Is it the NFL or is it the NBA?
- 36 have been accused of spousal abuse
- 7 have been arrested for fraud
- 19 have been accused of writing bad checks
- 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
- 3 have done time for assault
- 71, repeat 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
- 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
- 8 have been arrested for shoplifting
- 21 currently are defendants in lawsuits. and
- in 1998 alone, 84 have been stopped for drunk driving
Can you guess which organization this is?
Give up yet? . . . Scroll down, citizen!
It's the 535 members of the United States Congress.
The same group of Idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.
God, I hope this is one of those things that Snopes says is an Internet urban legend. Oh dear... it only categorises it under "...statements of undetermined or ambiguous veracity".
I'd have been happier with a simple "False".

maybe he/she just needs to have a change in life. when people live in the same environement too long they get bored and long for a change.
i think i want a change too. at least it should be something veyr new, very different from goals like becoming a professor or achieving some achievement. I am fed up with my current life style. I have to make a change. It could start with a dream for a exotic country like Finland or Iceland...

The word "exotic" doesn't really seem to pertain to Finland.

Socialism has never managed to create anything beyond corpses, poverty and oppression.

From
The Free Dictionary: "Exotic: (1) From another part of the world; foreign (2) Intriguingly unusual or different; excitingly strange.
Why do you feel that none of the above pertains to Finland?
