I referred to what you say you &#039;cant understand&#039;.
Down votes!
What you truly understand may not be something you or anyone can altogether articulate, but is a &#039;knowing field&#039; that realigns thought, perception, range or response and creative insight.]]></description>

The Taxes! I like that the Danish system allows you to earn X amount before the insane Taxes kick in. Beautiful country. But spoilt. They pay you to go to University. Something certain countries would be flabbergasted at. I loved the cycling lanes. But yeah a Socialist experiment but isn&#039;t Finland, Norway &#038; Sweden? 

The whole region is very far down the 2030 Agenda. Further than most. Plus what are they all,combined, 30 million tops. Immigration is hitting them hard.]]></description>

ALL supermarkets - another year of record profiteering from basic needs. Its a human duty to steal from those cnuts.

Anyone here should realise they&#039;re part of the digital panopticon being assembled.

 Happy and prosperous new year to all shoplifters. And to all supermarket ceos and scum capitalists - hope you get cancer soon.]]></description>

Wasn&#039;t it one tyrannical jewish chef anyway, personally I&#039;m not bothered which day he goes to church or not at all. It&#039;s too hot for me in the kitchen, or the oak grove, so without over egging the cake- isn&#039;t the article about scientific studies?]]></description>
