Congo sues Norway for $500 BILLION dollars! - Polidicks

[quote]In the Republic of Congo, a surreal scenario is playing out: Two Norwegian citizens, Tjostolv Moland and Joshua French, have been jailed, apparently due to involvement in a murder-scene in which an innocent cabdriver was killed. The Republic of Congo claims the Norwegians killed the driver over a money dispute – the Norwegians claims they were nothing more than witnesses to the crime, perpetrated by unknown gunmen in the middle of the jungle. In any event, the Republic of Congo is furious – and claims that the killing represents an attack on «the body and soul of Congo itself. And what does Congo think would be a good compensation for such a hideous crime against the Congolese people? According to the State Attorney of the Republic of Congo, a mere $500 BILLION dollars will suffice. Norwegian media is present at the military tribunal hearings, and reports that the demand was put forth today. The Congolese State Attorney insists that the two backpackers are undercover Norwegian agents, backing up this brash claim by pointing out that the two Norwegians were in fact equipped with – gasp! – Norwegian drivers licenses at the time of their arrest. As such – Congo claims – the state of Norway is morally and economically responsible for any and all wrong-doings their citizens do abroad. Even though Norway is one of the richest countries in the world, enjoying the second highest GDP per-capita (after Luxembourg), even Disney’s Scrooge McDuck would have a hard time settling a $500 billion dollar debt. If Congo wins forth in their own military tribunal, God help Norway.[/quote] [img]http://stormen.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/1251365273368_702.jpg?w=300&h=200[/img] [url=http://stormen.wordpress.com/2009/08/27/congo-sues-norway-for-500-billion-dollars/]Erling Løken Andersen the CEO of AS has more on this story here.[/url] Discuss what you think about this?

You could buy 500 billion 1$ hookers for that much!

Second one is totally french, not norwegian.

$500 billion dollars for a damn cabdriver. i'm not paying for that.

I won't say no to that there's something fishy going on besides mercanaries, but Congo really is just doing it for money. It's not like it can get much worse down there, anyways.

Congo just wants money to feed starving Africans.

[QUOTE=scout1;18588926]There was a thread on this like 2 months ago.[/QUOTE] Yes it was about the actual killing, not the whole ransom shit.

That's only about 25 times higher than the congo's GDP Also OP is fucking [i]late[/i]

[QUOTE=Ishmael12;18588999] Also OP is fucking [i]late[/i][/QUOTE] No. It was about the killing. This is about the the 500b.

[QUOTE=Ishmael12;18589106][i]Then Explain This[/i] [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=800568[/url][/QUOTE] Lol. Good point.

I rest my case

$500 billion is more than norway's gdp, what the fuck.

[QUOTE=lmaoboat;18588938]Sounds fare to me. :smugdog:[/QUOTE] Oh you.

Ransom? Isn't this a kidnapping, kind of a hostage situation? I think no. But i say that norway should invade congo and if that fails nato will settle this. Few nukes should do it.

someone should just nuke the entire nation of congo. literally no one gives a shit about them.

[QUOTE=Ishmael12;18589077]And pillage You can't forget pillage[/QUOTE] If the Norwegians go to the Congo to rape and pillage all they'll get is AIDS and a bucket of gravel.

Norwegian dudes, do what you do best!

Norway needs to go viking on them

One country suing another country? For $500 billion? Sounds reasonable.

So the Congo is suing Norway because two Norwegians are [b]suspected, not proven,[/b] of murder?
