I thought that the 25th and 31st of December, 2009, were The End of Time as man knew it...

So you pay for a license then also pay for Cable or DirectTV or whatever service?

WOW!


I am totally at a loss for words!
We joke about being taxed to breath air sooner or later and now I find out
you (And probably me sooner then I could imagine) are being taxed to use your eyes to gaze at a TV!

That's just so wrong that it just leaves me with a bad feeling for the future.

I can telle you that it's not one of these conspiracy pages

It's a homepage that tells you how it really is

Here is what it is written in the right upper corner

"
December 21, 2012 is NOT the end of the world! Discover the lies, myths and bad science behind the predictions"


Here are litte from the text

"The abrupt ending of the Mayan Long Count Calendar on December 21 2012 has been described as a prophecy of the end of an age and maybe the world. However in the Mayan Calendar 2012 is not presented as a prophecy of the end of the world. The Mayan Calendar 2012 prophecy is just some people's interpretation; an interpretation that many do not believe. It also needs to be said that Mayan scholars themselves say this idea misrepresents Mayan history. They say that in the long count Mayan Calendar 2012 is not an end of the world doomsday calendar."

But if you believe we are heading for the judgement day-then don't click on the link.

So I wonder if the Mayans are going to do a better job of predicting the end than the jehovah witnesses have?

What is their record, 0-5?

The tv licence £12.50) per month funds the BBC (no adverts between programmes) but the other channels receive nothing and derive their money from advertisers (advertisements in between programmes).

Don't know about Denmark but here in the UK you must pay the licence fee if you have a tv regardless of what channels you watch.
