Today iv had to go to the post office to pick up a package that they wouldnt release until a £13 ($20) tax charge for an item that was wrongly valued at $40 not $15 was paid,i totally accept that it was a genuine mistake,BUT it was an avoidable one,and obviously having to pay out another $20 when i have already paid out once for the item+shipping has REALLY taken the shine off receiving it,so if anyone is EVER unsure either please ask,OR just tick the gift box and value the item at $10 or less,REGARDLESS of actual value,the tax charge is a total scam used by customs departments all over the world,designed to bring in extra revenue,so lets watch each others backs (and pockets!!) people!!!

Thanks for taking the time to read this,AND LET THE APPRECIATION CONTINUE!!!!!

As noted in a petition created by Jamie Berke on Change.org, “According to your scriptwriter, the fact (Loki) was adopted is the reason he is a bad guy!...Being adopted is not something to use for the butt of jokes! Marvel, immediately cease using adoption as the butt of jokes AND issue a public apology to the adoption community!”

The whole point wasn't that Loki was bad because he was adopted but that Thor was saying "hey, he's not related to me" because they were comparing Thor to him. It's the classic "I'm not with that guy" defense and nothing more. I think these people know that but they want some publicity.

It's like the ginger kid on the news the other day complaining that South Park episodes ruined his life.
