Swedish City to Block Online Gambling

They're spending $70K to try and block online gambling site access in their community.
I guess the internet cafe business model didn't turn out so well over there

I still love Sweden though

Yep they like to monopolize there for sure! I still want to visit Sweden one day soon. I have several friends from Sweden and they are awesome people!!

You got that right Vix!

But we dont like to monopolize...with this good rightwing goverment they do the best they can to privatize everything but its slow...too bad its probably gonna be a leftwing goverment later this year because so much people here are so very stupid...
Well, I can understand internet cafes blocks gambling sites...I dont think anyone want to have a bunch of gamblers sitting there for hours blocking the seats...what do I know never sitting in one, but one thing is for sure, we will ALWAYS be allowed to gamble online...this country is a democracy, just so you know............dont know if parts of the US are....

But dont visit this place now..its cold as hell! -20 Celsius for weeks now....

Summer is better when its around +25!

Damn Ceks it is so cold here now that I would feel at home there!! I don't know if it is right to tell someone what they can and cannot do at an Internet cafe because I feel like if you offer the service people should be allowed to do what they want on the net but then again I would not like to sit next to some dude whacking off at the next table either

omg ceks that's cold brrrr... I had to look up our weather to convert the c to f - never could do that in my head very well lol The one thing about the frigid weather is that when it does warm up a bit it feels like spring even though it isn't!

We are actually not a democracy - although most of the sheeple in this country think we are as they have never read the constitution... we're a republic with democratically elected representatives. Unfortunately at the moment very few of the elected seem to be paying any attention at all to the average American... but wait till next fall!

vixen

I can see the owners of the cafe's wanting the tables open for business... I've read where a lot of them are losing money and will have to close because the cheapskates come in, use their wireless all day and only buy a single coffee...

ceks79 · 01-06-2010, 10:07 AM

Youre right labell..ofcoarse I know you have a president and we have a king...I ment we have not dictatorship here...and some states seem to have that when you are no allowed to gamble online..or am I wrong again?
If one or a very few people here decided all we sweds were not allowed to gamble online Im sure there will be war here!

Parts of out country had -40 C last night....huh!! Global warming my butt!! It has been like this for a month now and it will contine at least a week more!

labell · 01-06-2010, 10:25 AM

ceks, unfortunately right now, there are many elected officials intent on breaking our constitution and turning us into a socialist/communist/fascist state ;( However good news this morning is that many are not running for re election in the fall, and hopefully enough people can be educated in that time to realize how close we are to losing our freedom.

Actually imho free enterprise system under a monarchy would be ideal government...

but sadly,it seems like a dictatorship more and more here. So much immoral activity is lawful here, yet I'm skirting the law to play poker online!
THe nuts in charge are a few fries short of a happy meal... hopefully enough will be voted out to fix what's been done to the nation....

have you ever read the piece on governments and cows? interesting descriptions of cow ownership under various type governments.

ceks, do you also get the snow with that bitter cold? And how do you keep your cars running? I hate that sound the battery makes in extreme cold, you know the one where you hold your breath until it cranks over?

We're due for 4 more inches of snow tomorrow... but not the ultra frigid temps you have. As long as it doesn't drift too much our city snow plows will keep ahead of the storm and we can get about anywhere we need to. I live in a small city next to a big city, only a block from a major street, so I don't usually have trouble driving anywhere.

I dont have much problems with the car, my Volvo starts no matter what!
But I had to dig it out before Christmas......

JohnZ · 01-06-2010, 12:15 PM

Nice Volvo mate

labell · 01-06-2010, 02:54 PM

oh wow! It is a nice car! Guess you had quite a bit of digging to do! And as cold as it is there, that crunchy snow is darned tough to shovel!

Makes me awfully thankful for my two car garage lol! I do hate it though when the idiots throw the snow from their driveways into the street - just lets the plow load it into our apron

I hurt myself two years ago trying to lift our snowblower - duh got impatient and didn't wait for my husband and ended up with two compression fractures of the spine! ANyway this year I found a toro power broom that is light weight and perfect for these small amounts... anything like you had there and I'll just stay in!!!

ceks79 · 01-06-2010, 03:38 PM

Power broom?? LMAO!! Whatta heck is that? LOL

In Holland you can gamble in internet cafes, and everything you like, most prohibit viewing pornographic sites though... what a relief!

Love that word.... broom with power, sweep fast and swiftly! something like that, heh?

labell · 01-06-2010, 07:14 PM

lol power broom - that's what it is! Thanks for not asking if it was for my witch-y side

anyway it's a snow thrower! The Toro Power Shovel Plus is two tools in one and easily converts from a power shovel to a power broom. The exclusive power curve design throws snow farther, and cleans right down to the pavement at a rate of 300- lbs. of snow per minute! Ideal for sidewalks, decks, porches and small driveways.

300 pounds of snow a minute is a lot of snow! See my husband drives a huge pick up truck, and goes out in his Rocky hunting boots, so he couldn't care about the driveway or walks. I hate snow building up on the driveway, so since I can't use the big snow blower anymore, well this is perfect lol!

ceks79 · 01-06-2010, 09:56 PM

Power Shovel too? LOL Wow...Ill have to get one of those...I see how good it is on the picture! awesome!!
