I'm kind of an Iceland fan boy, being in the asatruar community and even have an aegishjalmur tattooed on my arm, but I really don't know as much about Iceland as I'd like to :iamafag: Is it true that road construction is postponed or even waylaid because it's illegal to disturb faerie haunts? What are must-see areas of Iceland? Particularly nature spots? What are the religious demographics like on Iceland? I recently learned that you guys are building your first pagan temple in thousand years, but I feel like there must be a good deal of christians as well.

Having read the entire OP I can see that you learned Danish in school. When did that stop, and are you still fluent? Also, would you mind if I wrote you some PMs? My girlfriend and I are aching to go to Iceland, maybe we could run some questions by you.

Deceitful Penguin posted:he doesn't even know where to start That doesn't explain a lot. I mean, I know Iceland is not some sort of socialist paradise, but judging from what you hear I kind of thought that sort of large-scale economical fraud and selfishness was unthinkable in Iceland

So, they're like most other Pirate parties  Well, I guess that's being too harsh, Danish and German PPs have some pretty sympathetic folks at the core, but even they struggle with lolbertarian manchildren infiltration.

My icelandophilic girlfriend wants me to try havkatl and other disgusting poo poo while we're there, but I'm not really feeling it. If dining out is expensive, I'm definitely going to go for something that isn't too fermented

Pirate Party seems to suffer the same problems as its sister groups worldwide: Periodical influx of members from the alt-right, anti-vaxxers, forever alones/MRA and other basement dwellers. Fortunately many parties have purged them again, deciding to focus on the single issues of internet freedom and anti-surveillance.

FreudianSlippers posted:Hey when the leftist coalition comes into power after the next election they'll probably be able to spend 4 years making what changes they can with a lot of resistance from numerous elements of both the private and public sector then have all the good they actually managed to do cancelled when the next right-wing government takes over. Like last time. and like every wishy-liberal Scandi government in the last 10 years  At least they'll make some leftist policies, the Danish social democracy has gone full FYGM neo-con.

Yeah, some genius in the Dakota Access Pipeline thread got sadbrains when I claimed you couldn't call sabotage of corporate property violence, goes to show some people ate the glue in school I guess.

As far as we can ascertain, yes, it's true. A lot of icelands history is oral, so we've got to go on what was recorded when the switch to written was made.

Deceitful Penguin posted:We've certainly killed people for lesser reasons and done more stupid things on the promise of money. I heard somewhere you had a law on the books saying it was legal to kill a Turkish person until the seventies or something, is that right? Allegedly because of the many Ottoman slave raids on Iceland, and it was just kind of forgotten about.

poopinmymouth posted:Nothing has been more frustrating for me as an American transplant to Iceland to see how much hypocrisy or dueling ideas Icelanders can hold. Super moral society overall, one of the main reasons I moved here, but then you can find yourself arguing with an Icelander about basic human dignity and wonder how they got so hosed up. So basically like any European( or American) country ever, except they're better at pretending they're not shitheads :iamafag:

FreudianSlippers posted:In a lot of places on the continent you don't even need an ID to cross borders. You can literally just drive into the next country without anyone ever bothering you. My dad lives in Denmark but works a lot in Norway and sometimes on days off he nips over to Germany to stock up on soda and beer. Yeah, but in that case he manages to do the very rare thing and avoid border controls. If you're taken in the German side of the border without a passport or driver's licence, it's a 35€ fine. Denmark will even go as far as to bar you entry if they suspect you're not a citizen.

Demiurge4 posted:If he's driving then he can just show his license. Yeah, I guess I'm just bitter that I have to carry a passport everywhere, hehe. Still, the promise that we could travel freely in Europe after Schengen is a big fat lie if regular SS cards aren't enough - in my opinion anyway.
