bad timing for Obama.
He can't go to war over this, to pricy, to risky and without a UN mandate the entire political world will fall over him.
He can't go to easy, seeing as the embassy is sovern US soil.

Either way, lots of voters are gonne disagree with whatever he does, while Romney can pretty much go hardline on it, seeing as his calls dont matter yet, except for the campain.

Ahh Oki so its based on the expected costs of the lawsuit, not fear for a fine.
Thx for the explanation yell, its clearer now!!!

Thats what Primo and I suggested to do in Holland as well. The current system holds a lot of spearhead parties on 1 or 2 seats that only focus on a very small area. These seats are pretty much wasted and increase the difficulty of creating a stable coalition.

oki so that makes it a bit clearer.

>But to fight a federal lawsuit might cost the school more than $715K.<

Lets say they did go with a federal lawsuit, which they could have lost.
When they lose, does the judge set a fine? And is this fine paid to the family again, or to the gouverment??

Also why would that lawsuit be so expencive? I really dont see the 'damage' the family had to be that high? (perhaps the child had 1 year without school and maybe some shrink costs should the boy need it because of this)

Should you be going to Rotterdam heres a hostel for you

Not sure how nice it is, i just know its right on the other side of my bedroom window

Also, no weed in the southern provinces, above braband and limburg you can get your stuff from the shop. If you want, you guys are welcome to come smoke one on my balcony

Also, Rotterdam is pretty good. The old harbors are fun to stay around, and pretty decent architecture around if you enjoy that kind of stuff. From thursday to saterday, most bars and clubs are open till 5 or 6.

total ammount of voters / 150 = votes needed for a single seat

For the election yesterday a total of 12.696.193 people were allowed to vote (all citizens older than 18)

i read about 73% showed up

(12696193 x 0,73) / 150 = around 60K votes for a single seat.

>We killed so many terrorists under Bush they were collapsing, running out of money. No longer true thanks to Obama

But it turns out the terrorists weren't the only ones running out of money. Its pretty safe to say the USA would have been stronger in fighting the current credit crisis and housing crisis had they not needed to fund two 10-year wars in forgein countries.

Sure, the current economic state cant be blamed on those wars, however i think the costs of those 2 wars thusfar (from a economic viewpoint) seriously outweigh the gains.

As for defeating terrorists. I do not feel terrorism is something you can defeat with violence. Thats fighting the symtomes. Fighting the cause, the reason they turn extreme, is the only way to stop terrorism.
However this is still very, very far away

for now Greece will still be bailed out, assuming they can get the budget straight this friday.
So far VVD and PvdA are both keen on keeping the eurozone together if possible, but all in all, our say is small, that matter is up to germany.

Im thinking they will go with CDA as 3rd party. Hope they can keep De Jager on economics. He's been doing a proper job

There were (i think) 20 parties on the ballet. After the elections the largest party will start negotiations to form a coalition to secure atleast 76 seats in parlement.

VVD 41
PvdA 39

Thats what the current results seem to be. 3rd greatest party is at 15 (left wing socialists).

Parlement seems to be no trouble, with a 2 party coalition at about 80 seats.
However, these 2 parties together do not have a majority in the senate. And senate elections wont take place till 2014.

They will either need to take a 3rd party, prolly Christian democrats who took another heavy loss yesterday (21 to 13) or just go with the 2 of them and pray for some backing from the opposition in the senate.

Gonne be interesting either way to see how long this is gonne take. VVD and PvdA are pretty much condamned to eachother.

damn flint, its got to hurt to see obama pull away from romney in all the polls

but what if he hasnt randommed yet
