Inequity in the portuguese court system and the EU

Dear everyone,

If anyone here does like me, please go down on your knees and praise the lord.Why?

Taste this:

I am currently taking car and 250cc motorbike driving licenses with the money I got from that rave and some other I had saved up. (900 euros in total, 600 euros for the car one. tell me how much it costs in your countries please).

At 8 am I had phone call from the director of the school to meet him there. He wanted to talk to me. Got there at 830am.
Apparently and According to the director of my driving school, I really scared one of the teachers and made him sort out some business so that I wouldn't have to take more theoric classes. Hence I began with the practical ones.

What appears to be impressive about this was that I apparently used some sort of physical violence against the teacher, The director told me. I thought I was in shit, but no: He said I did not proceed in the most correct way but he admits himself it was good because the teacher was "an arrogant bastard and his attitude towards students isn't correct most of the time" (He actually said that about his employee) and after that he became very smooth and treating students well and not calling them derogative names (apparently he called me one). Can't remember any of this, unfortunately. He basically wanted to tell me that what I did was partly good because now he became a better teacher...i pretended I knew everything...

I then had a motorbike driving class(practical) and right now my heart is still beating hard and fast.
I was on a road where the speed limit was 70 and behing me there was the instructor's car. So i was going between 60 and 80..probably closer to sixty. There was a car in front and i was maybe 50 meters away from it. As sudden as a fucking lightning bolt the car begins to brake and turn like as in a stunt thing. I nearly pissed my pants. In fractions of a second i turned right to the road side and just jumped up and let the motorbike go without me on it.

Fell (luckily not on the asphalt but on dirt) and rolled a couple of times while the motorbike hit against a tree(It's pretty much crashed now). Thank god I had an helmet and a leather jacket on me. My right arm hurts a bit and i have a scratch on my arm close to my hand (nothing big at all).

The guy in the car got out and the instructor stopped and got out to see if I was fine(nice of them). What happened inside the car was that the son of the driver (a young little prick) decided to push the handbrake.

No comments...

We called the police and it has to go to court. I'm quite lucky because the school pays for everything. The bad thing is the way the jurisdictional system works in ortugal the first "Meeting" will be in about 2 years or something, if I am lucky.

My parents are worried to the point they don't want me taking the motorbike license anymore, and personally...me neither.

about 4 hours have passed and my heart is still pumping faster than a speed garage record being played at 72 rpm.

Now some news connected with the court system...so you guys see how it works here:

About two months ago, and old senile lady apparently forgot to pay for a cream in the supermarket LIDL and left the shop with it(it is not clear what actually happened). The cost of the cream is 3,99 euros. She is put in court with the risk of going 3 years to jail. This stupid meaningless fucking case took about 3 months to be taken care of. It appeared on the FUCKING NATIONAL T FUCKING V!!! More than once...

Nooooooooooow...An 18 years old boy had a motorbike accident BECAUSE the son of a UNRESPONSIBLE BASTARD decided to push the hand brake in the middle of a road with vehicles going about 60 or 70 km per hour...Is this gonna be dealt within 3 months?!?! NO FUCKING WAY! Maybe if i had gone against the tree it would have! Fuck, why did I jump off the bike?! I'm so stupid!

A couple of facts about the EU and The Iberic region:

Yesterday a friend of my father (quite an important gizer) came for dinner. We talked about EU policies and facts and what happens and doesnt happen. He's gonna give me a book about it.

In the EU Macroeconomic policies are the same for all the members. The members who choose not to live with this policies can get big fines.

In the EU it is forbidden to have VAT over a Tax. In portugal however... There is a VAT over the Tax that is paid when you buy yourself a new car. Why does portugal still do this?! Because the revenue gained by the government from this VAT over the Tax outweights the cost of the fine and moreover it gives the government some revenue!! How nice and Moral?!

CAP (common agricultural policy):
In spain it was said by some important gizer who knows about wine and agriculture (can't rememeber his name but heard it before) that in Spain only 10% of the wine produced is worth being drunk and it comes from Rioja, the other 90% is shit. Spain produces and Insane amount of wine. Now...CAP...EU subsidizes the farmers to plant the vines and it subsiudizes the farmers to produce the wine. What happens: BIG FUCKING SURPLUS. There is no point in making buffer stocks out of wine because it isn't a good that fulfils primary necessities and because there is no big point in keeping the prices since there is always a surplus...So what happens to the big Surplus you ask?!

Guess what?! It is burnt to produce pure alcohol. Guess who subsidizes it? How did you guess right?! Yah it is the EU!!!

Can you see any waste of resources such as land, capital and labour here?

----

I feel calmer now...the record is kinda back to 45 rpm...yet it still is a speed garage record.

Ps.: Noticed anything in the way I wrote portugal? Yes...small case p. That's how much I disrespect my nation at the fucking moment.
Fuck it.
