can we do about that.  *sigh* IMNSHO, I think only the Germans had the

Naja, durch absichtlich laecherliche Uebersetzungen kann man sich natuerlich

Ausdruecken (vermutlich noch mit falschem US-Akzent) einfach als verkrampft.

"Festplatte" liegt meinem Sprachgefuehl einfach naeher als "Harddisk".

Certainly. There is a law prohibiting "unfair competition" (unlauterer Wett-
bewerb). It is certainly unfair competition if you gain an advantage over
your law-abiding competitor by ignoring valid regulations. If it weren't
possible to sue the offender, the competitior would have to break the law,
too. And that's not what regulations are supposed to achieve, is it.

Also this regulation prevents unnecessary lawsuits, because two private or-
ganisations may come to an agreement without going to court if the outcome
of a lawsuit is clear, anyway.

It's there, especially from Panini, but not nearly as big as
in the States.  Panini issues soccer cards for every European
Championship tournament and every World Cup, and you can stick
them in an album.  Mostly done by kids up to age 16 or so, I should
say, and there's not much value to be collected with these things,
not even over time, as there is with a Ty Cobb card in mint con-
dition, or the complete 1927 New York Yankees . . .

I'm not aware of any other sport than soccer that would have cards in
Germany.

>1992: THE NAZI FASCIST PARTIES ARE GROWING IN GERMANY AND ITALY

Any source for this information about Italy ? The neo-fascist party actually
went down in the last election.
And if you refer to the separatist parties known as "the leghe", as far as I
understand they have little in common with nazi-fascism.
They may have racist roots, but their success is mainly due to a failure by the
traditional parties to clean up the way politics are done in Italy.
You probably don't know it, but everyday prosecutors in Italy (mainly in the
north, for various reasons) throw in jail at least 2 or 3 politicians for
bribery.
This has been going on for at least 6 months now (Milan is now mockingly known
as "Bribetown", but the phenomenon is by no means limited to Lombardy), and
everybody is sick and tired.
Even the traditional opposition party, formerly Communist and now "Leftist
Democrats", is involved (some part of the bribes went to them so they would
keep their mouths shut). So the people did not have anybody else to vote for
(as they did not trust the neo-fascists I mentioned above). So all they could
do was to vote for the "leghe".

I am not neglecting the importance of a growing racism against immigrants
workers from North-Africa in Italy, but claiming that nazi-fascists are growing
in Italy is a gross (in my opinion) exaggeration.

They may be full of fucking bastards and racists, but not as much as you would

Jeder Mietwagen hat eine minimale Haftpflichtversicherung, aber
normalerweise kommt kein Mietwagen mit Vollkaskoversicherung, ausser
wo gesetzlich vorgeschrieben (NY, IL).  Deshalb gibt es den CDW
(Collision Damage Waiver), der extra kostet ($10-15, in Deutschland
sogar bis zu DM 27,-) und jegliche Haftung des Mieters fuer Schaeden
am Fahrzeug ausschliesst.

Die Eurocard bietet aber nur Haftpflichtversicherung an, hilft also
nur in sofern, dass die Deckung hoeher ist.  Fuer Kaskoschaeden hilft
sie gar nicht.  Mein Tip: Besorg Dir eine der zahlreichen
gebuehrenfreien US-Goldkarten, mit denen kann man getrost den CDW
ablehnen.
