So the question has been raised" would you ask a male politician if he felt nervous?". With the implication being that women gets asked this but never men and that this is bad. If there is a double standard here then that is bad. But eh, yeah i would like to know if certain male politicans felt nervous when giving a speech.

Women are often held to a stricter more demanding standard which is unfair. The best solution is to also and with equal force apply the same standard to men.

In the developed world women are progressing, men are backsliding. This is because we men decided it was ok and cool to a have lazy " aw-shucks i`ll just wing it" attitude to life. Women in general are not socialized to have this lovely attitude, instead they feel like they have to over perform and really do their homework to not get ridiculed. We men could use some of that neurotic paranoia and self-doubt. We ougth be more like Clinton and less like Trump.

In short do ask male politicans if they feel nervous and why they wear such ill/well fitting suits.
Its good for society.

There there. It's alright.
I also have deep-settled feelings of self loathing.

What is even the point of a Koran burning?

Pretty obvious. It's to make your average svennebanan to vote SD.
They're gonna see mass destruction of public property caused by a certain subset of people angry about a perfectly legal demonstration done by a Danish clown and they're gonna think twice about who they're wanna vote for in the next election.

EDIT: If your home country suddenly starts looking like Ukraine does right now and there's only one party that promises to do anything about it, you'll consider voting for them, even if it's the loving nazis, which is the goal, I imagine.

I still don’t know why this schnook is allowed into the country if this is straight up his one cool trick. Like he’s hardly better than Westboro Baptist. Why keep playing into his game by letting him do this?

Sweden is fine with permanently housing actual ISIS terrorists, which I think is a slightly bigger deal than an edgy demonstration.

I unfortunately can't find a concrete source either for or against but allegedly no actual books were burned at the "demonstration". Which makes this whole situation even stupider.

EDIT: Nevermind, that was inaccurate. A book was burned there.

Doesn't help the fact that teachers are already not getting paid anything and when they gotta work in one of those schools where most kids don't even speak Swedish I don't blame them if they just shrug and don't bother even trying to do anything about it.

They somehow forgot Ukrainian refugees also can't live on the paltry far-below-subsistence benefits we give to "non-western" refugees, so they're scrambling to make another special law now. And on that note, we're officially shipping people back to Afghanistan to starve and be brutalised by the Taliban.

Out of curiosity, how much do non-citizens get as social benefits? Are there numbers on that?

We have cannabis containing drugs though, you just don't smoke weed, and there are severe restrictions in prescribing it because of obvious reasons. Doctors can also get a license to prescribe normally illegal cannabis drugs, but this is comparatively rare.

My bad, the department of health was suggesting an investigation into legalized personal use, not medical use.

The people who are pro drugs being illegal are so bad at pr that drugs will soon be legal. Like the cops loving sent the child protective services at a woman who were pro legalizing. It was then revealed that they had a file on her despite admitting that she had broken zero laws.

Harassing pro-legalization people is way easier and more fun than doing anything useful like providing passes or stopping gangs.

Politicians insist on keeping weed tax-free and letting it fund the gangs purely on ideological grounds isn't the brightest idea ever.
