Well, so should you @lejend. the powerful minorities, will soon come for the lots of you :P (if you are in that category - rich bitches)


Yeah I can't wait until you send me to Auschwitz for secretly controlling the world. :o Spanky, this rhetoric you use, has been used before. Nothing is new under the sun. Again I tell you, learn from history or you'll repeat it. Tyrants are taking advantage of you!

lol, As I see it, you have a tyrant wannabe in office, that will ruin your party! @lejend
do not need any help from the likes of me to do that.
You making a metaphore to Auschwitz, for MY post, is just hilarious (I mean, how far out can one person be?)

What you should subtract from this, is that the Nordic model are ranked as the highest in the world. And not only by this ranking.

Yeah, because you lived in a geographical area that was away from any major source of conflict, for centuries. You didn't live close to Ottoman Turks or Eurasia, from which migratory tribes came and invaded lots of Eastern and Central European territories.
[spoiler=spoiler]Image[/spoiler]
So, when you live in such naturally isolated geographical locations, there's isn't as much disruption taking place in your society that would pretty much freeze your development for centuries.
You were just lucky, that's all. But then, this luck is now turning against you, because migrants from Africa and Asia are flocking to your countries and asking to live on welfare and then suddenly things aren't so comfy anymore, ain't it.

We'll see how your goody two-shoes democracy fares when Scandinavian states have to support your new migrants or when oil prices plummet, such as in Norway's case.

thank you for supporting our Nordic style though. And as I said earlier, oil made Norway richer, but not more democratic. Still way above you ;)

Meaning? Do you have like a personal issue with me, or what does that mean? Am I messing with your attention-seeking behaviours on this forum? Do you not get enough limelight to satisfy your ego? I remember you left the forum a couple of times and came back because you weren't getting the attention you wanted, in the past.

Don't you think it'd be easier for me to just spout lukewarm niceties and everyone to agree with me? But I'm not seeking popularity or likes. I don't really give tree fiddy on popularity and likes.

@spanky4ever I think my post is funny, which is a lot more valuable than mere nothingness. I do engage in serious discussions once in a while as you should know, although admittedly much less frequently in recent times. It is simply a matter of the discussions not being rewarding enough for the time and effort I put into them—at least not anymore.

I think your expectations are too high for a 15-page thread. In either case, all of those posts are 10/10.

That is really the big issue about trust in the institutions :o Now the western counties are making smaller atom bombs - USA, UK and France. How will that turn out you think?
