Jesus fuck. Police arrested him earlier today. Environmental activist. Very probably on an indefinitely extended acid trip from the looks of him.

Have they arrested A-Ha yet? I've had a warrant out for them since the 80's.

DON'T MESS WITH A-HA

DON'T MESS WITH A-HA 

Fatherly advice. Can't get You Tube to work for some reason. I'll check out the bits after.

I believe Norway is still a world leader in international aid. Would you call it a liberal, or left-leaning society in general?

Norway is a mostly well-functioning social democracy.  I have no idea how that translates to American terms.

In American terms, it may translate into Nanny-state Communist. I'm not sure, I'm Australian.

Sounds about right. To be honest I have even less knowledge about Australian politics. I do know there was a Prime Minister who went for a swim and disappeared once.

Wow, that was 1967. There's even a conspiracy theory that he was taken by a Chinese submarine. Also, he was killed by American frog-men because he was opposed to the Pine Gap military base which we gave to the Americans for free. Or he was a Chinese spy, and voluntarily entered their submarine.

What's even funnier is that it took until 2005 for a coroner to rule such "theories" out.

But hey, we're talking Norway. Sorry.

I forget wich bit it was in but ill dig it up when i get home.

In the united states the kingdom of norway is considered a failed socialist state that is barely functioning and everyone has no money due to exorbitant taxes that no one wants a non functioning healthcare system and a low quality of life despite all evidence to the contrary. At least if you describe yourself as conservative. They always say that whenever you bring up any scandinavian country successfully creating a mixed economy.

lolwut. Norway has a lot of problems, but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else, other than short term.

Also high taxes? 25-36% is the usual. I was under the impression that that is about the same as Murka.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

They also bring up collapsed banking systems which had nothing to do with america in anyway whatsoever. No its always the europeans and obama who screwed up.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Yeah between state and federal i get about 20% taken out. Its also worth noting though how little money i make per week so of course its a little lower than average. But were asking a bunch of racist rednecks and their corporate puppetmasters to make sense and use facts. Also this response will be delayed since my train went underground midpost. But yeah the assumption is that your tax rate is above half. Im not even shitting you. But who needs facts? Hell id live in norway if it contained boston and you didnt eat weird shit.

Americans are retarded, as a rule. I get about 25-28% taken out in taxes (between federal, state, payroll taxes, social "security", FICA, medicare, etc.) and I still have to pay out of pocket if I do something as unamerican as getting hurt or sick. Also I have to live in a country with a bunch of unattractive retards and hardly any good music.
