|

Quote: A Norwegian appeals court has ruled that striptease is an art form and should therefore be exempt from value-added tax (VAT).
The owners of the Diamond Go Go Bar in Oslo had refused to pay VAT of 25% on entry fees as tax authorities demanded.
The local authority had taken the club to court over its refusal to pay tax.
Lawyers for the club's owners argued that striptease dancers were stage artists just like sword-swallowers and comedians and deserved the same status.
"Striptease, in the way it is practised in this case, is a form of dance combined with acting," the judges ruled, according to AFP news agency.
perhaps we should forget union with sweden , and try norway instead....

A note on degenerate art:
"Our patience with all those who have not been able to fall in line is at an end. ... What you are seeing here are the crippled products of madness, impertinence, and lack of talent. ... I would need several freight trains to clear our galleries of this rubbish. ...This will happen soon"
Adolf Ziegler,1937
President of the Reich Culture Chamber |

who said its degenerate and who is to judge this?
Apart from that I don't think its appropriate to quote a Nazi who was responsible for the destruction of many works of art during the Nazi regime and also responsible for the prosecution and arrest of various artists.

The Nazis may have been wrong in many areas, but Hitler was a visionary when it came to architecture and art.
Ziegler only destroyed things like Van Goghs, and seriously, who cares about that insane idiots paintings? |

Strictly speaking, the EWS movement strives for union with Sweeden only hence it's name (Enosis With Sweeden).
However, following the wish of many of our members, Enosis with any Scandinavian country is not out of consideration.So we are currently in negotiations with both Norway and Sweeden and we are waiting for the best bid.For your information, Sweeden has no problem whatsoever, but Norway is still a bit sceptical about having to unite with Paphos as well as Cyprus. |
