Queer As Folk has also a great deal of nudity!

@raphjd:

How can there be 49% tax evasion in 2005, but the lower classes are paying their taxes?

Remember, the lower economic classes are the "other 95%".     That means the 44% of the tax evasion, in 2005 before the global economic collapse, came from the lower economic classes in Greece.  This is based on the claims that the top 5% never pay any taxes, which is unlikely.

Tax evasion in Greece has a long history.  During the Ottoman Empire, it was considered "patriotic" to not pay your taxes.

As i said, there is great unemploynment in Greece.
Plus, it is one thing to read facts from a web site.
Experiencing it in first hand, however, is quite another.

@raphjd:

Using the black market (major part of the grey economy), then you are NOT paying all of your taxes.

According to GreekReporter.com, Greece loses 43.2 Billion Euros a year in unpaid taxes from sales and work.  That's admittedly a low estimate by VISA Card who did the study.

The black market in Greece is nothing new.

According to Wikipedia, in 2005 (before the global economic crisis), tax evasion was at 49%.    In 2009, tax evasion by the self employed alone was 31% of the national budget deficit.  The black market for that year (2009) was worth 25% of Greece's entire GDP.

As we see, there is the claim that the lower classes (economically) are paying all their taxes, but with the admission that they aren't paying their taxes because they can't afford too.   You can't have it both ways.

What i meant is that the part of the lower class and have the means are indeed paying their taxes.
I remember stating that there is a great part of Greeks that are unemployed and do not have any income. So it is logical that they are unable to pay their obligations.

@raphjd:

It is pretty unfair to include the entire population of one country to the few powerful and rich divas who doesn't pay their taxes.
I am paying my taxes, my parents did, my best friends and their relatives paid their share. Hell, my mother was paying her taxes and now she doesn't even have insurance. Yes, we do have high taxes also so you can enjoy the fact that you do not have the exclusivity.
It is also pretty unfair to consider all these people guilty. If we are talking about true justice then all the goverments of all the countries of the world should target those few selected ''sinners''.
We didn't resent any help. We resented the extremely heavy and unfair price that came along with it.

It's not just the rich in Greece that aren't paying ALL of the taxes they are supposed to.

A big part of the agreement to extend the bailout was that your (Greece's) new government would do more to stamp out the grey (black market) economies.

The lower classes are paying their taxes. I am living in Greece so you would allow me to know better.
And for those taxes that are not payed as they should have… well, i am not an economist expert but it is quite hard to pay any kind of obligation if there is any kind of income.
There is a lot of unemploynment and these guys cannot pay their obligations since they do not have any kind of income to do so.
The only thing that i will agree with your quote is the black market thing which indeed is a field that requires more extensive caring.

@pornofan:

Three related Channel 4 series by the creator of QAF. The titles refer to degrees of hardness of the member, from soft (tofu) through peeled and unpeeled banana, all the way to Cucumber! The main storyline is in Cucumber, Banana is supposedly a series of standalone stories that may or may not involve people from Cucumber, and then Tofu is a "behind the scenes" or making of" meta comment.

Or so it seems from what I've read and seen so far. I have not yet caught up with the gaybashing episode, which is almost de rigeur these days but which sounds more shocking than most. Am not sure what balance they seek between comedy or light-hearted playfulness and more serious and emotionally fraught events.

If anyone actually were interested in a running discussion of the shows, this might be a good place for it, if Moderators have no objection and no better idea. Having only begun to follow along, I am hardly fit to make even these general remarks.

And then there is Looking, with Russell Tovey, Jonathan Groff (both gay actors), and Scott Bakula (Quantum Leap, NCIS New Orleans) among others. Seems to capture the unlikely reality of San Francisco and the Castro district in particular. That's a show I follow more closely.

Thank you!

@mcmxc1983:

thanks
I try to figure it out how to use that website.
It seems I will need ilivid, etc

You go to the web site. You choose the movie you want to see. You scroll down to the bottom of the page where you can find the links that you can see the movie. You click either one of them, you wait until the coundown is finished and you watch the movie.

You can watch it online.

Yamy-yamy!!!
But i still prefer Sparc!

I remember, Sparc have a nude scene too, but in mask and probably fake big dick. I think they use body double on that scene.

Oh, sorry, my bad. I should have specified that i liked the actor from Sparc Vengeance.
The actor of Blood And Sand, while he was attractive, he didn't attracted me.

19 years old when i fell in love with him.

I love to have sex with a man because i fell in love with a man.

I would feel betrayed but i also would do a lot of inner searching to see where did i falter.

Yamy-yamy!!!
But i still prefer Sparc!

The laughing Man, a movie that led to the creation of one of Batman's most lethal and scarier foe ever: the Joker.

@themalefoot:

One of my favourite films and one of my favourite books. The book sequel 'Legion' is also superb. The underrated and even more terrifying 'Exorcist III' is based on Legion.

There was a book sequel?
What is it about? Does it pick up where the last book left off?
