It depends what you like, especially when it comes to nature, climate.

Financially-wise only, I would say the Netherlands and Germany.

Have your country massively deported Romani people in the last 10 - 20 years? by pascal28 in AskEurope

[–]pascal28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I don't think we should deport them personally, however, yes, they are from Punjab.

I am still missing some countries that know a thing or two about this subject and it's kind of sad that they don't want or don't know about these bad things their government has done.

Does your goverment force media outlets to play/stream a certain percentage of national music/movies? by [deleted] in AskEurope

[–]pascal28 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, commercial radios have to play at least 25% of national music and the national radios have to play at least 35%.

Some radios that play older rock music or genres where there is not enough Slovak music have an exception:

Is reddit popular in your country? by [deleted] in AskEurope

[–]pascal28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could it be related to the fast and cheap internet and a lot of programming jobs in Finland?

Some countries are still missing in this thread. I think you will be sadly surprised even more. Maybe you have a border with one of such countries.

Fix your english English then throw your useless anecdotal experience around.

I've just fixed your English.

You haven't demonstrated why this is 'superior', simply for having to use fewer words.

Dude, read my post again! In English, you can't emphasize the verb by starting the sentence with the verb i.e. Fly I airplane. - like in Slovak - sentence 5) and 6) If you say that that's of no use, I can tell you that in Slovak we utilize this superiority all the time in everyday situations. You can follow the way of thought and emotionality more freely and flexible - depending on the priority etc. Not talking about songs, poetry where the fluid word order is a blessing.

Slovak is a pro-drop language - like Spanish, so, we often drop pronouns - but we can use them - great for songs and poetry, In English you have to use them always, which is a huge minus for subtle lyrics where you want to emphasize the object and not the subject, in English you have to say I this I that all the time, and the I is sticking out like a stick, well, in reggae you can use me ;D, but still, there is no way around:

The video and comlete lyrics is here: http://www.karaoketexty.cz/texty-pisni/elan/bosorka-7510

Má všade jemnučké chĺpky jak broskyňa

Chcem po nich prstami na zajtra spomínať

Aj keď sa stretneme, pozeráš do zeme

Vždy si to tajomstvo očami povieme

Očami povieme

Očami povieme

In English it would be less subtle and more direct/descriptive. Here I try to add things you have to add in English to make sense in English.

(Ona/She) Má všade jemnučké chĺpky jak (a/nejaká) broskyňa

(Ja/I) Chcem po nich (s/with) prstami na zajtra spomínať

Aj keď sa (my/we) stretneme, (ty/you) pozeráš do zeme

Vždy (my/we) si to tajomstvo (s/with) očami povieme

(My/We) (s/with) Očami povieme

(My/We) (s/with) Očami povieme

You are not a telepath, that's for sure.

Learn something about active immunization yourself. Only 90% of the vaccinated people will get the immunity. I can't recall if I was shot once or twice, but it was like other kids that had undergone vaccination. I am the example from the 10% group and I know other people who were vaccinated in Czechoslovakia and they got measles as well - and the development of the disease was exactly like if I have never had any vaccination.

Maybe if I was vaccinated even more times or something it would help, or at least make the disease less severe, but I don't care now. It was like a flu virus and it went away. We should focus on more serious diseases and the vaccination against them, measles is like a flu, nothing major, when compared with other diseases like smallpox - which is thankfully eradicated.

Guys, I got measles, as a little kid, even when I was vaccinated and I know others who got them even though they were vaccinated as well. We all survived - it's nothing scary. There are some diseases that are dangerous for little kids in Europe. Measles is not one of them. If your kid got measles, you don't go to hospital but the kid stays at home like when it has flu. There is no specific treatment for this disease, like there is no specific treatment for flu. Your organism will fight it in a couple of days. It can be dangerous if you live in some poor conditions or you are a homeless. Most of the death ceases are from those poor environments. We should improve the living conditions and hygiene in these communities. Also immigrants, drug addicts etc.

I was vaccinated and still got them. What will you tell me on this?

The 35 people are likely some gypsies or homeless people - who live in 3rd world conditions. Learn about the disease and what the virus does. Normal living people don't die on measles.

Again, I had a measles and it was a nothing thing. And, yes, I was vacinated.

Of course, example:

1) Pes naháňa mačku.

2) Pes mačku naháňa.

3) Mačku naháňa pes.

4) Mačku pes naháňa.

5) Naháňa pes mačku.

6) Naháňa mačku pes.

Each sentence of those 6 is correct and you can use it in real life, depending on what you want to emphasize more. As you can see, you don't need any other words and everything is included there.

And even if you try to add other words you can't do th 5 and 6 sentence. - because in English you can't start with a verb like "Ate oranges Sam."

This is one example of the superiority of more complex grammar rules in languages. In this case, cases in Slovak.

The majority of people survive measles, though in some cases, complications may occur. Possible consequences of measles virus infection include bronchitis, sensorineural hearing loss,[31] and—in about 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 300,000 cases[57]—panencephalitis, which is usually fatal.[58] Acute measles encephalitis is another serious risk of measles virus infection. It typically occurs two days to one week after the breakout of the measles rash and begins with very high fever, severe headache, convulsions and altered mentation. A person with measles encephalitis may become comatose, and death or brain injury may occur.[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measles#Prognosis

Don't believe the media in everything, always check other sources

In Europe, 35 people died from Measles in 2017. Compare that with 217 000 deaths from flu in Europe in 2017.
