Much of this country fell into a mindset that you have to work a standard 40 hour a week job and are somehow entitled to something for doing it, while at the same time biting the heads off of people who either said or did other wise, that's why a good portion of it is falling apart. If you want to work like that good for you, but don't attack entrepreneurs and other various people who don't follow suit.

Literally claiming it's entrepreneurial to work less than 40 hours a week.

Grasping at straws, are we now? Of course Sweden isn't completely socialist (no extreme works in the real world), but the government there takes great care of its citizens and redistributes wealth, helping make the average person's quality of life much better than anywhere else.

Whoops, looks like you aren't aware of what socialism is!

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/socialism

Sweden merely has significant social welfare policies, which are not at all the same thing!

Also, I don't see how it's grasping at straws to point out that at least 1/5 of your links actually make the opposite point of what you think they do.

Hey, Vlado, instead of posting meaningless links like an idiot, how about you demonstrate how any of those indicate that Sweden is a socialist country. For example, your link for education in Sweden reveals that Sweden has incredibly open laws for the establishment of charter and for-profit schools.

Maybe you don't understand journalism?


I don't know what journalism has to do with Wikipedia. It does have something to do with the Christian Science Monitor, which has won a bunch of awards for top-notch work, something Wikipedia can't be accused of.

I don't think thee change really matters. The inn scene won't occur for two seasons and suddenly recalling a random unimportant character who appeared for a few minutes 25 episodes ago would probably just be confusing to regular viewers rather than particularly awesome.

Well after making Amon a public enemy that is justifcation enough if there is an unground martial arts school that is flying his colors. (Supporting a fugitive etc...)

If all they were doing was supporting his cause without a direct link they wouldn't be doing anything illegal in most free countries. Maybe these guys were but they certainly didn't show it.

Kind of a lame episode IMO aside from the teaser flashback images at the end. This might be a product of the short season, as I feel like it would have worked better if we had two episodes, one focusing on Asami and the pro-bending team and one focusing on the taskforce.

Since people seem unaware of it, workers who earn tips aren't dependent on them to make more than 2 bucks an hour. If a worker's tips fall below the minimum wage the employer has to make up for it, so they still earn at least the ordinary minimum wage.
