If you're that antisocial, what the hell are you doing here wasting our time?

Well, I don't really see how anybody who isn't me can ever be good, to be honest.

Newsflash! Australia is a democracy. That means the Australian government does what the voters tell them to. That means they take their direction from YOU. That means it's your fault. Either you told them to do the wrong thing, or you failed to tell them to do the right thing. Your bad, either way.

I don't vote.

That's not what history will say because that's not how life works. As goes the place you live in, so will you go. Period. If you don't like how it's going, your only choice is to effect change -- either in your country or yourself. Selfishness and apathy only turn your life into a shit-sluice that ends in your own, lonely grave.

Again, so we're required to respect your individuality, but you're not required to respect that of everyone else. I treat individuals as individuals, just as you've requested. For example, I wait till someone spends pages upon pages upon pages on the internet proving beyond doubt that they can't apply logic to their own beliefs before I assess them. So what conclusion should I draw about an individual who claims that he must be treated like an individual while making broad generalizations?

Im a norwegian and I have a norwegian address, tho I spend more time out of it lately. I agree the country is fucked up pretty thuroughly. But blaming the scary darkskinned people became sort of oldfashioned somewhere in the late 90s around where I live... Ive heard about the taxi "scandal", Ive heard about the rape statistics and Ive heard about the weapons trafficking...and Ive called the BS on all that.

One of the reasons immigrants are looked down on in norway is that they are often (especially pakistani) wery good at taking on some job and doing it a lot better than an norwegian could be bothered to do, and more efficient. Then they end up with more money, big cars, nice homes. Thats when the average norwegian starts lurking behind the curtains...hmm... big nice shiny mercedes...hmm..he prolly stole it...or hes a terrorist... or hes a terrorist who stole it! yeah!

The overall "thing" in norway is that; if someone has more than you they got it by cheating. If they have a different skincolor they got whatever they have by cheating anyway.

Some time ago I overheard some of my disgustingly posh fullblood norwegians talking;
"Boah, look at that BMW outside the villa up in the hill area... Im sure theyre with the al-q. damn foreigners".

Its the other way around too..

"Yeew, that green house up around the bed, it looks so uncared for, garden looks horrible and *gosh* they dont even have curtains! Damn foreigners!"

Last one allmost made me land my car in the ditch when I heard it from the rear seat. - I knew the house they were talking about, it was next to where I lived for some years. I knew the family there too - father, mother and 3 kids. They lived in Iraq until the 'Mericans hit their house as part of a carpet bombing run, killing the fathers brother, some aunt and two of the kids, and they also seased their assets. Since then they made it out and got thrown around in a beurocratic maze. They went into temporary holding camps in 5 different countries before they were planted in the house next to us. The house was left from an old lady who had lived there alone for the last 15 years and she hadnt done anything with the house in that time, when she went away the state claimed the property (no next of kin) and decided to move refugees in there. Now, 5 people were settled in a restoration project without knowing a single word of the language, anything about the climate or any money. - that was just before the snow set in. Together with my father we got communication going, my little sister was same age as some of their kids and only my stephmom was still trying to avoid the "damn foreigners" - something she stopped saying around the rest of us fast enough...but thats another story I wont get into now. Anyway. Next summer we found this horrible green paint in a garden shed and decided it was better to have *some* paint on the wooden house and they obviously couldnt afford to buy anything. We were painting out own house that summer anyway so we had all the other stuff needed. They helped us, we helped them, and two homes got painted in record time. Time went, kids started school and brought the language home, and last I heard father in the house finally got a steady job - earning as much as I do as unemployed student.

- and people dare criticizing the lack of curtains without knowing anything about the background? The reason? Without going there and offer some curtains? Damn norwegians.

Every time my bike was stolen, it was by a norwegian. When my fathers house was broken into and he was fatally wounded it was norwegians. When the kebap shop on the corner (which was run by two really nice turkish people) was burned down last month it was norwegians.


I also heard the comments quoted in the OP, about the raped women being responsible for what happened - I thought it was some sick joke until I read the newspaper article and realised it was meant seriously.

Sometimes I think the whole country is a sick joke of itself - the country of nobel prizes and countless peace treaties is also one of the worlds largest exporters and producers of highexplosive weapons. (by far the largest if you see it per capita).

Ah well, Ill end my rant. I just came back from Hip Hop world cup here in bremen and was delighted to see so many nationalities come together for a united cause.

Point, somewhere in there, was that as a born and raised norwegian from a norwegian family, I usually find that norwegians are behind allmost all the crimes being commited in norway. Or the russians (usually not from russia but poland and ex-soviet countries. but theyre referred to as russians..).

The joys of circular trolling....

No, not really. It's not my country, so it's not my problem.

Of course, HIS country isn't his problem either. Why? Because....

But in all likelihood, I'll probably just move to Israel. It's the new US.

Isreal to Bigot: Please don't import your personal problems here. We have enough of our own. So, what's so great about Isreal?

Israel is at constant war with Muslims. They'd never submit, like the West does.

No, they just run away when it gets to be tough going like Lebannon a couple of years ago. Hey! That DOES fit in with your game plan to run away from your "problems" with your own country!

I'll stop saying these things when there's world peace.

And you'll get there by doing your utmost to ensure that nothing constructive that might acheive that goal is undertaken. But hey! Isreal is for you! So, what's stopping you?

I wanna be stateless. States are just a scam to burden people with individual responsibility without individual actions.

Oh. So you don't want to be a part of Israel either. You like their attitude but don't really wan tto belong. Why? Oh, then Israel's problems might become your problems and you don't have anywhere else in mind to run away to? So, if you respect Isreal's chutzpah, I guess you like Israelis as individuals too? I mean, you'll have to live with them right?

Hey, I'll respect people's individuality when they start with me.

Oh. They're great! You want to live there! Except you don't. And you don't respect them individually. Wow, they're gonna LOVE you!

And really, I wasn't even talking at you, so I think the only reason you randomly mentioned me was because your long-standing resentment at my ability to differentiate between reality and your schizophrenic breaks from it.

Oh, and, as ever, TAL is right. Islam is a cancer within the west; as, for that matter, are most non-skilled, mass populations of migrants.

Neu Leonstein

Simple- if the population of the host country decides that it does not want immigrants from a certain country or region, or no immigrants at all, then their determination is final. No one has a "right" to immigrate to another country without the permission of that country.
Let's assume for argument's sake that you're American. Would you be okay if you couldn't leave your state because the population of your destination disagrees with you moving there? What about the next city? What about moving outside your suburb? Or outside your house?

At what point does being outvoted no longer trump your right to things, like moving from one point in time and space to another point?

Why should free immigration be the default stance?
Because of what I just said. You are by nature capable of moving from A to B. In fact, it seems that humans have done so since they first popped up. You moving doesn't hurt anyone, in the vast majority of cases.

So exactly why is restriction of being able to move a default stance? Is that your normal position on rights, that the default stance is restriction, and we're graciously allowed to do some things if the majority will let us? And if you're tempted to say yes, does that mean there is no such thing as a human rights violation? Does that mean getting 7,000 lashes for being gay is not a problem - afterall, the default stance is restriction, it just so happens that in our countries the majority violates the default stance of existence and allows gays to go without punishment. And I don't want to Godwin anything, but the whole Holocaust argument could also be made that way.

It's their frackin' country, they can keep out whoever they want, just like I can keep people out of my house for any or no reason.
But you own your house. No Japanese person owns Japan. And even if you can construct some sort of complicated legal nicety to pretend that collective property belonging to 120 million people is realistic and would allow some of the 120 million to outvote the others on the use of their own property - no one earned Japan through their work or investment. So whatever way this ownership came about is illegitimate.

This just isn't true. We norwegians get drunk and rape each other. In norway you are far more likely to get raped by your friend than by some muslim hiding in the bushes.
The shootouts are all linked to drug trafficing. There is a big marked for recreational drugs since we're all rich hedonisitic people.
The norwegian government has purposefully slowed integretion and made it hard for immigrants to get into the system thereby fueling racist tendencies in the populace. It's classic divide and conquer.
Norway is a leading exporter of high tech missle technology and surveilance technologies. Alfred Nobel decided that the peace price should be given out in Oslo because at the time when he was alive Norway had no foreign policy, we were like Switzerland. Now, with norwegian special forces doing hit and run attacks in afghanistan and norwegian contractors building the cages in Quantanamo Bay, i doubt Mr Nobel would make the same descision today.
Goverment uses fear to gain control.
Norway has a happy system of statecontrolled capitalism. The Norwegian state is the wealthiest capitalist in Norway. There is no free press in Norway. Certain issues are never discussed. The kind of unfounded claims that heads this forum thread dominate the debate forums.

An irrational one? Because what he meant was IRRATIONAL animals think like you do.

I don't hold anybody responsible for anything. They just happen to be opposed to me automatically.
Why didn't you listen to yourself when you said you were too stupid to successfully bullshit like this?

You had a brief moment of lucidity going there. Shame to waste it and all.

I wasn't trying to put down down Norway...I was saying that some guy got Norway confused with Sweden...the ACTUAL home of the Nobel peace prize

Well, he wasn't wrong about that. Even if the Nobel prize originates in Sweden, the actual home of the Nobel Peace price has always been Norway. It's always been given out in Oslo, Norway...

Only ONE is handed out in Oslo, the others are handed out in Stockholm

With the exception of the peace prize, which is handed out in Oslo, Norway, they are all handed out in Stockholm at an annual ceremony on December 10

Yes, as I said: Norway is the home of the Peace Prize. The other Nobel prizes belong in Sweden. So he was correct about that.

OK, since the OP quickly abandoned the thread as people started looking closer at his post, and nobody has bothered to adress the critical comments, I feel safe to say that this thread is over and done with.

So I'll just lean back in my big, comfy chair here at the club, take a sip of my expensive Louis XIII cognac, light my havanna cigar, and go back to guffawing with the other members of my secret society. :cool:

At least the thread got past 20 pages, that's got to count for something :)

Okay your right...I missed the word "Peace" and just read "Nobel Prize"

Dude, seriously, know when enough is enough. Your OP has been destroyed, you've posted arguments yourself that refute the OP. There is a lick of it worth saving. Why would you return to continue this? You really like losing an argument that much?
