I feel the same way about many things these days..
The main difference here is that i am unemployed and atm recieve zero. But then again, i still live in my parents house, so i still usually get some food on the table.
I also seem to have a similar taste in tv shows :-P
But sadly these days not much is aired on tv with exception of {bleep}ty reality tv shows, which i truly hate. My favorite shows was farscape, star trek, firefly, futurama, buffy, angel and a few more which was cancelled. The only shows i watch now are family guy and battlestar galactica 2003, but no tv stations in my country import any of those, so i have to download them illegally using p2p.
The situation with gasoline prices here in Norway is even more insane. Not only do we have the highest road taxes in the whole western world, but we also have to drive through a bunch of toll stations, even though the road standard is horrible. Most people would gladly pay a bit to drive on a high standard motorway, but not on a road like this:

Also our cars is atleast twice as expensive than in most countries, so we also have the oldest car park in europe, even though this country is also one of the richest countries in world. "you can see evidence of that by clicking the previous picture as well"
This is also a oil country, but still our gasoline prices are insanely high. These prices are so insanely high because or government put taxes on everything and most of the price goes straight into the gov cash box. The price is now currently between: $1.91-$2.07 according to todays currency rates. It is expected that the price will raise to around $2.40 later this year.
I have much more to rant about, but i guess i should stop before i ruin this thread completly.
