I was reading that in Finland a person (wealthy) paid over 60K for a speeding ticket as it was based on his income.
damn thats alot, in Denmark the speeding tickets are fixed (double roadwork) min 200$ and up depends on % , but if you drink and drive you get a fine of 1 month salary including loss of driving license 2 years and prison depend on how much you drank. (first time) if you getting stopped for the 3rd time I think you loose it for like 10 years and 40 days in jail

yeah .. for sure an apples to oranges comparison. Your taxes are much higher but your government actually (from what I hear) does a great job in spending the money for the benefit of it's people. Here they pretty much urinate it down a rat hole. Plus you can avoid a lot of taxes if you set up trusts or deal in real estate.
sure we got some benefits, but somethings here are also very costly, cars especially but ofc theres pros and cons and its all different on who you are.
-
Federal , state and all the hidden taxes can easily be around 55% if you're high income here.
47% low-mid income, if you have high income you will increase as well, but in US you can earn a lot more before paying the highest tax then in Denmark, but we got some benefits from that.

I moved to CA 10 years ago and it's getting crazy. Up to 13% state tax , high sales tax , terrible for business owners , gas is higher , hundreds of $'s to register your car if it's nice. It's endless ....
I feel bad for you man, here in Denmark we only paying 47% ;)

He is 31 this month, March 23.
exactly so he's 30...
-
I am not basing it just on yards, some games even when he got in he didn't get any separation and he dropped/missed some balls he should have caught.
Those other guys can come in play the slot and move the chains, and have enough experience I don't think they will have any trouble getting up to speed with the playbook with a full off season and training camp.
Don't get me wrong if they think Nicks can come back and take another step toward what he used to be I would love to have him, although it would be on another "prove it" deal.
Well you just don't know that... Nicks has experience as well... i'm not against going for good receiver in FA
but some people on here think we can get about anybody and hell be a star, people though the same thing before Knicks was here.
-
You are right, but they performed for their previous teams where as Nicks was basically on a prove it deal and I don't know if he proved enough. Even if we brought Nicks back I might still consider bringing in a cheap mid level chain mover type guy.
Nicks played as a what #3-4 here with Reggie healthy, then its going to be hard to get 1000 yards, include that we got 2 very good pass catching TE's I just don't see any mid tier #3 or #4 coming in doing any better, in fact having to learn the playbook first.
-
Marshall would be ~$8 mill per year for last 3 yrs of contract if we traded for him and assuming Bears responsible for signing bonus.
If we somehow knew Nicks would perform consistently at a high level like he did for a couple games this past season I would agree about bringing Nicks back ... I just don't know if he can play at that level all year; and if he can't I would rather have one of the reliable hands chain movers that I listed.
none of them you listed has performed well in a Colts uniform yet, If reggie retires Nicks will get more catches and I think he could be a threat as #3
-
I wouldn't mind Royal, Douglas, or Shorts coming in for a couple years.
We wouldn't have to get him for $10M a year. That's only if we trade for him but if the Bears release him, we can sign him to any contract. I'd say he's worth $7-8M a year due to his age.
Well he still under contract, if we could get him for 6-7 that would be fine because he is a upgrade over nicks and I think he would be better instantly but I dont see any of these other receivers coming in and outperform Nicks in their first season
-
hes not worth 10 a year and he's 30.. no thanks
-
Yeah. Grigs may re-sign Nicks. We are all just fans and it's the off season, so we are trying to get excited about something. I think it all comes down to if Reggie Wayne retires or not or what Grigson and Pagano see in him for next season. But we should be looking into another WR either way, Reggie's on the down hill, fast.
Yeah these Wr's are not to replace Hilton or moncrief, if Reggie retires its not that big of an impact from last year when he was injured, we signed Carter and may draft a WR so we got the debt its not like we looking for a #1
-
With all these mid tiers WRs being released why is everyone hooked on signing just about everyone ?
I rather resign Nicks he may not be the big factor last year but i'll assume he's only getting better playing with luck one more year
he played well in Giants and been a bit disappointing here in Colts but I dont see anyone of these players coming in and making a bigger impact the first year.
I looked at some of the stats for WR that people are mentioning and I can't really see they coming in and making a big impact
Hakeem Nicks, 27: Rec 39 Yards 405 Avg 10,7 TD 4
Brian Hartline, 28: Rec 39 Yards 474 Avg 12.2 TD 2
Harry Douglas, 30: Rec 51 Yards 556 Avg 10.9 TD 2
Eddie Royal, 28: Rec 62 Yards 778 Avg 12.5 TD 7
Cecil Shorts, 27: Rec 53 Yards 557 Avg 10.5 TD 1
IMO keep Nicks and draft a WR later in the draft..
Thoughts ?
Sorry for any misspelling English is my second languange
-
after watching some videos on draftbreakdown I like waynes over peters, peters was often to far from scrimmage and didn't look as aggressive in he's tackles as waynes, but we dont have college games here in Denmark so I might missed some.
-
if Ngata becomes a FA how much do you guys think he's looking for ?
-
You know you don't win anything if you're right, don't you?
Well he can quote himself and say told ya, apparently that means a lot to some people on this forum.
-
Can't wait for FA, people on here are getting so disappointed, everyone thinks we going for 3-5 big names.. have that every happened ?
-
Vontae is by far my favourite player on this team, only problem is you don't see him much because he's too damn good...
-
LOL, just pay the kid and get it over with DQ.
. By the way, we don't know the entire story most likely. Its hard telling what the pizza boy said to DQ. He could have started the whole thing, and like the article said DQ's never had an incident like this before.He shoulden't pay a dime if its false, what will happen next time he needs money...
this just pay the man to shut him up makes me sick, glad the civil lawsuit dosen't work the same way here in Denmark
-
I would rather give our RBs a chance behind a line that can actually block then go for C.J Spiller
-
it's embarrassing to see rolemodels getting arrested for stupid things like this, the pizza guy may be a jerk but it should never result in a arrest.
I get a bad taste when I know how many people that work so hard to get a shot in NFL, and then there are NFL players just acting like *s, not solely D'Qwell
-
It was a joke. Ya know. Playing off of you calling him the wrong name. Don't be so sensitive.
And I'll contribute to any thread in any way I want. But thanks for that.
Guess thats how you get 7000+ posts.
-
well they are right.. stats are stats, but they can be changed.. so who knows
-
pretty sure that means no mack then :/
-
Kyle Cook anyone?
. By the way, we don't know the entire story most likely. Its hard telling what the pizza boy said to DQ. He could have started the whole thing, and like the article said DQ's never had an incident like this before.
Maxwell to sign with Philly
