The Fast Food Tax

1st the vice tax… they say alcohol and cigarettes are bad and their consumption must be discouraged by imposing a higher price.
Well, yeah, they are bad in excess, but who do they think they fool with this tax? How many smokers have quite because of it? I don’t think there were too many who did… My mom is still smoking like always. Did this tax reduce the number of consumers? I really doubt that. Did the government get lots of money from this? F yeah… And what is the Romanian government doing with the money? Hell knows…

And now… a cutter tax: the fast food tax. That means they’re putting taxes on fast foods, sweets, sodas etc etc. WTF ?! What’s next? A tax for unprotected sex, or on sunflower seeds cause you go to the bathroom too much ?

I just love Romania, politics and money…

Dupa ce m-am stricat de ras citind fel si fel comentarii pe net, cred ca e cazul sa fac o rubrica pentru a pune laolalta aceste capodopere ale comediei umane.

Enjoy !

WPML

Since I will be writing content in Romanian as well, I needed a way to separate the Romanian content from the English content so after some googling I found a very nice Wordpress plugin, called WPML, that can turn WordPress and WordPressMU into complete multilingual content management systems.

Gonna play with it some more when I have time :D

The anthem of the Romanian emigrant

Here’s a song which describes, in a funny way (well… actually there’s nothing funny about Romanian emigrants trying’ to earn some money to stay alive), the life of most Romanian emigrants:

A lot of the hard working Romanian emigrants are being discriminated against, because of the fewer Romanian emigrants who steal, kill, rape etc..

Every country has criminals so I don’t see why this is a reason to discriminate Romanians…

Don’t judge a book by its cover !

After a few months of not posting on my blog, I “return”, and not empty-handed, but with a brand new design, created by myself.
As you can see, it is a clean and very simple designed and it is focused on usability.

I’ve decided to display just an introduction on the front page of the site, moving the blog to another location, because my web site is not just a blog, but also a portofolio (thus the new structure).
I’ve also decided to remove all the posts and comments written until this moment and make a fresh new start.

The content I will be writing from now on will be mostly in the english language , mainly to make my site understandable by a wider variety of people.
And because english is my second language I am susceptible to making mistakes, so please bear with me.

Thank you for visiting my home page and I hope you will return :)
