I don't understand how my statement of firemen refusing to put out a fire because they didn't like the person is arbitrary. If they publicly stated they do not like the person because of their politics and will refuse to put out f

Their duty is to deliver mail is it not? Should mail carriers refuse to deliver political flyers because they disagree with the message??

Is PostNord like the post office or like fedex? If the former, that seems crazy to me. Imagine the post office just refused to deliver your electricity bill despite the electric company paying for a stamp. If it's the latter it makes a

Do you know how many laws you are subject to right this moment? If you don't know the number, how can you be sure you haven't broken any?

It's the same as saying "I can't say I'm not surprised"—meaning they are unsurprised.

Oh there's a way around that. Places like Lisbon and London already have time periods where older vehicles cannot enter parts of each city without paying a fee. It's only a matter of time that they're banned altogether for &q

This will happen at the same time we stop being uplifted by words, or moved by them, or brought to tears by them, or fall in love over them.

To play devil's advocate, I can see the fees being justified to recoup setup costs that may be incurred for new service, etc but if there are already broken out costs for installation, equipment, etc it becomes far less defensible.

Early termination fees seem like a fair trade-off for severing a term contract early. That doesn't scream "junk fee" to me as much as hotel resort fees and other BS. If you get a better price for committing to a period of ser
