The EU thread

[Pad Frank]

Come here and discuss with us all the latest news about European Union!

The EU is a unique economic and political partnership between 27 European countries that together cover much of the continent.
It was created in the aftermath of the Second World War. The first steps were to foster economic cooperation: the idea being that countries who trade with one another become economically interdependent and so more likely to avoid conflict. The result was the European Economic Community (EEC), created in 1958, and initially increasing economic cooperation between six countries: Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Since then, a huge single market has been created and continues to develop towards its full potential.

He is a ****ing psycho, i have nothing else to add.
Hopefully Norway's judging system will find a window and manage to put him in prison for the rest of his life.

I second that ._.

i have a feeling he'll be lable as crazy and be sent into a clinic.
he said that he was born in a prison and lived in one. also he wanted to build more bombs but didnt cause it was harder than he thought :O

He isnt labeled as crazy due to the fact that he is very aware of what he have done etc. I hoped he'd be labeled as crazy, but nope.

I hate how much attention he is getting here in norway atm. Everyday on the news, the biggest channel here got news intentionally for him everyday. and on top of all this the trial will last for 10 weeks, which is fine, but 5 DAYS alone is set off for his own explanation. Which is rofl. He is getting all the attention he loves and wants.

But what did you expect?
It's like the biggest crime that ever happened in Norway and one of the biggest in Europe.

If he had been labelled as crazy then his sentence would have been lightened, most likely he would have spent his time in a mental clinic. If what you say his correct and he wasn't found crazy then that is good news.
