Get rid of all religious followers imo. Also danes? Probably Danes also

This. gently caress all people acting like total dicks cuz of religion, regardless if it is christian gay basher, anti abortion people or people who dont wanna shake hands. It's a loving sham since I can be a practicing rastafari anyway. Religious freedom my rear end.

The danish proposal is just plain racist tho.

Danish People's Party beat you to the punch a few years ago, they invited all new citizens to feast on a traditional pork dish.


It has to do with not being in close physical contact with a person you might potentially marry in the future. That's the justification. It might be somewhat odd from a western perspective where we happily slather each other's hands in germs, but I don't really see how it's "low-key sexist". It's also a tiny, tiny minority within a minority that does it, and using it as a barrier to citizenship is insanely totalitarian.

i guess my position is that if you wanna say touching hands is gross or stupid you have to apply it equally, you cant pick out women or gay people and say they're extra bad to touch

on one hand yeah it's a dumb and occasionally rude practice, on the other hand gating citizenship behind something like that is bizarre

these are positions it is eminently possible to hold simultaneously

It's men that can't touch women and vice versa, it doesn't have anything to do with anyone being "gross". It's not like they don't acknowledge the other person, they just use a different gesture than shaking hands. :shrug:

And the Vice President of the USA supposedly doesn't eat dinner alone with women due to religious convictions. Hypothetically if he'd apply too they would put the same rigorous standards on him because surely this is purely about principles and nothing else

I mean, if it was just a different gesture it would be a cultural thing, in which case there's no real case for unlawful discrimination. A persons culture is not a protected class. Ethnicity or religion is. If these rules have a religious basis that implies that there's moral judgement involved, and while "gross" might be oversimplifying it or even just wrong, it's perfectly fine to think they're being silly and/or sexist.

I'm basically reiterating a previous post at this point, but making people follow the dominant culture through legal means is probably unethical and certainly proposed just to provoke in this case. Also, it's entirely unnecessary, the dominant culture is perfectly capable of asserting its norms in other ways. Should those norms evolve and change over time that's natural too.

I don't disagree. Religion is kinda silly on its face. Or its veil, as it were. I have a much, much greater problem with the state legislating against it, though. And I don't even have to make a slippery slope argument, we're already sliding rear end-first. Less than ten years from "Free speech is an inalienable right that shall not be challenged by religious extremists! [img-that_one_Kurt_Westergaard_doodle_that_was_not_about_demographic_warfare.jpg]", to a veil ban, apartheid and collective punishment. Also that dude who went to prison on terrorism charges for posting an emoji.

Punsch is strictly necessary when consuming ärtsoppa & pannkakor. If you drink punsch without ärtsoppa & pannkakor you are probably a top-hat wearing wholesaler who talks about how to further exploit the workers with your fellow capitalists.

Those coordinated car fires in Gothenburg some week ago appears to be linked to a local Mafia family which lately have been squeezed by the authorities. So no SD jugend shenanigans, just the local authorities actually doing a seemingly decent job, which is a nice relief as this family is a major reason for why several schools are poo poo in "their" part of the city.
