Also, on an unrelated note, don't reply to the spam threads. It only bumps them and gives the bot views. We brig them as we see them and Neal hard deletes them when he gets around.

OK, sorry, won't happen again.

And it turns out that insure and ensure are interchangeable, but insure is more commonly used to refer to monetary compensation.

No, they mean completely different things.

The terms are not interchangeable.

Yet this article says that Finland deports many non-citizens every year. I don't understand what the problem would be with these two.
Two possibilities(apart from the obvous legal arguements the individuals could bring).
Deportation requires the two countries to agree on the transfer, if one of the countries refuses thats scuppered the deportation.
Free movement, Finland has both Schengen and Nordic Union so any person with a right of residence in any of the 26 countries has an automatic right to stay in Finland.

:yep:

Just because some people use the terms interchangeably, does not mean it is correct. It ain't good English. :yep:

@Steve & Tribesman:

You're right, that's ridiculous.

Olli Koskipirtti of the Finnish Immigration Service says that if a country refuses to take back a citizen who has been deported, Finland has no option other than to grant the person in question a new residence permit.
So what to do with him now? It would be nice if you could tell the country of his birth "You made him. He's your responsibility."

Americans have started a petition to kick Piers Morgan out of the country. Meanwhile, a counter-campaign has been launched in Britain to refuse to take him back.

I hope we can meet the Yanks halfway on this, and put the bugga in the middle of the Atlantic.

I will simply say this.

If we deport Piers for his views, how long will it be before my views are scrutinized?

I am a citizen, I suppose you will call for a hanging or firing squad for me?

First Amendment is meant to protect unpopular speech, just the fact this was given media coverage to the point of deportation, is apalling.


The sheer amount of rubes who knee-jerk signed it is even more apalling.

I can stand up say say, (Pretend I was a journalist, or even relevant) " Hitler had a great mustache, too bad he ruined it for anyone who wants to wear it"

I will be branded by kneejerkers a Nazi, and any other debate that comes up afterwards is moot, because of what I was branded by the media initially.

Because to the press it is not about the truth, but about how much emotion you can stir.

It is called Yellow Journalism, and it has become the status quo.

Edit: I do not agree with Mr. Morgan, but he has a right to state it in this country. DON'T TREAD ON ME!

Jimbuna 12-28-12 08:35 AM

I'm not sure the OP meant there to be so much gravity or seriousness attached to the topic.

I tend to agree with #3

:har:

What I heard was the percentage that want him out only came too 2% of the American population.

Yeah, but it's the internet. Everybody's got to vent their outrage, even over the silly stuff. Make that especially the silly stuff.
