The other day I saw a report on a Chinese company where young men play online video games for third parties in order to advance their "accounts" so that they can benefit from better weapons.


Without messing around ... Are there guys who pay to change their online video game accounts ????

No wonder our planet is doing so well ... distressing ...

Ah yes I confirm but it's already quite old since it dates from World Of Warcraft which was released in 2004 !! Ah, 6 years already! It's an eternity for a video game!

It must therefore have been 4 or 5 years since Chinese speculate on it ...

A Belgian smicar pays roughly 3000 € in income tax per year!

You read correctly, but as it is taken at source (every month), the pill works better ... not Belgian cons!

The problem of Belgium is above all the political mess and the overlapping of governments which induces a complexity of operation rarely seen elsewhere!

Each Walloon has 3 successive and stacked governments which govern it according to the areas: the Walloon region, the French community (Wallonia + Brussels) and the federal government (all of Belgium)!

The rate of ministers per inhabitant is surely the highest in the world ... It would just be necessary to rough the Belgian Mamouth ... the Flemings will be able to achieve it soon ... : Cheesy: : Shock:

a French smicard without charge about 1000.. Either a month's salary about (it was when I was smicard and alone in 94) ... At the moment I only pay 250 € tax on the income per year ...

1000 € it seems a lot to me right?

When I worked in France I paid (some real costs on the trip) € 850 for a salary of 1600 net and therefore 1200 net ...

How low is the minimum wage now? Ah I was surely not far from the minimum wage then? :|

Not that much, the job was 15 km I think (the national average is 23km) ... there was probably something for meals. Remember me, it's old it was in 2004 ...

About the Chinese economist:
I intervene because this hoax continues on its way. Very well mounted, by the way. Many have let themselves be taken in. Not me: my wife is Chinese. In fact these two men are talking about different things, including the Nanjing World Expo. The hoax is well mounted, exploiting every expression of this "Chinese economist", a character who is actually talking about things that have nothing to do with the caption text.

Oh thank you JPP ... we needed you to see that it was a fake! : Mrgreen:

Otherwise the controversy for 48 hours over the France team betrays well, I think, the state of morality and democracy in France today: no one respects anyone anymore! Imagine the image of France abroad !!

When you are paid millions of euros and have a "public life" ... you take some morality lessons ...

Good point: at least if France squirts in the 1st round (not yet on), we will still have something to talk about the 2010 world for a while : Mrgreen: : Mrgreen:
