Is it true that in America the price tags don't include sales tax and you have to pay more than what it actually says on the price tag. Because that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard

That is 100% fact my friend. And the Sales Tax varies on different items, for example food can be 3% and other things 6%...

and of course it varies state by state...

 

[Synobun]

Here in Canada, tax is 13%. For everything.

 

[GoodGame]

My state 0% on food, 6% on most sales items.

It makes sense in some ways. In particular it does not hide the tax the way a VAT does or the proposed Fairy Tale Tax does.

What on Earth is the Fairy Tale Tax you refer to?

I mentioned the EU in that people from EU countries are citizens of all EU countries, thus the Polish immigrants I see people complain about a lot.

people with citizenship of a specific schengen country are allowed to move freely within the countries that have signed schengen.

they arent citizens of all eu countries.

Any thread that serves to condense small discussion threads into one full-sized thread is a welcome addition to OT.

So it took 7 years for CFC OTers to realise this?

Why is it that Chinese food in America, that everyone agrees is "Americanized" rather than true ethnic food, has so few dishes with veggies that are common in the US?

Because it's an incomplete bastardization? The cooks might modify the tastes for the American palate, but still prefer to use mostly authentic ingredients?

LOL Penn's Woods (aka Pennsylvania).

Because their food is horrible anyway and should never be eaten.

My little brother just started high school and I don't want him to be a loser. How can I get him to stop playing Runescape?

 

[nonconformist]

Beat him. Day in. Day out. Beat him to punish him. Beat him when he does something wrong. Beat him when he does nothing wrong. Beat him to let him know you hate him. Beat him to show how much you love him.
