Iceland is to Scandinavia as "Y" is to vowels.

But then you also would have to include the Orkney Islands, the part of UK that was under danelaw and Newfoundland. Its slippery slope and the end result is finns and estonians coming to post in the thread.

That's not unusual. The United States system is similar with Counties and individual Townships having Assessors. I probably have more knowledge in that specific area, but also have specialty in Property Tax investment for purchase of property taxes etc..

My area of study would probably be Denmark. Although I have yet to super investigate Norway.

I know of a few firms here that deal with foreign countries and people there investing in American Real Estate. I've actually done some appeals for a firm that was in Sweden I think.

I dunno in the US at least you don't have to have Citizenship in order to buy property apparently that is not the case with some European Countries.

Good luck with buying property in Norway.

Personlig føler jeg meg ikke integrert i en by før noen har tilbudt meg hasj. Ikke at jeg skjønner hvorfor de prøver, dette er en samtale jeg hadde med en pusher:
"Røyker du?"
"Nei."
"Røyker du?"
"eh, nei?"
"Vil du ha litt tjall?"
"Hæ?"
"Har du lyst til å kjøpe litt marihuana?"
"Nei takk"

The most polite, approachable and downright friendly-in-a-non-fake-feeling-way salesman I've ever interacted with was someone trying to sell me some pot. No beating around the bush either, just asked whether I wanted to buy some, then politely bid me a good day when I declined. He was clearly having a good time, and wanted to share them with other people. Much better experience than those horrible horrible people that infest bigger towns; streets salesmen wanting to get you to sign up for some poo poo they don't even believe in themselves.

I have the exact opposite experience.

Also from the Sydsvenskan article

So less police, less crime.
That's some pretty impressive cherrypicking. The article says that since drug related crimes aren't reported that often they aren't a good indicator about how high the crimerate is. Vandalism and burglary on the other hand is almost always reported and is a better indicator and those crimes are going down.

quote:

But it goes with this thread as "gently caress the poor" since they are not voting left.
The shootings, burnings, bad schools, and segregated living areas are things that doesn't affect the people in this thread, since we are living well away from it and have the means to do so.


First of all that's pretty huge assumption. Second it's pretty lovely to use poor people as a way to score political points like you are doing here.
