Very timely resurrection of the thread with Swedish police spending an hour recently to figure out if person was Danish or drunk.

Don't eat at bad kitchens then.

Local stuff like reindeer and salmon (nevermind other fishes) are not bland.

We have potatoes, others have maize, wheat. Blandness: similar.

Mediterranean food is often superior to others I can attest.

I mean it's ok, Latvian food is also poo poo, but it'll take a Christmas miracle for me to accept what Sweden calls a potato salad.

It's bland compared to southern food, I'm sorry.

Now look, how is this possible?

A thing which contains chopped boiled potatoes, spring onion, pickled cucumber, vinegar, and sour cream with salt black pepper and such - and depending on the recipe, perhaps lime, apple, capers and even anchovies cannot be wrong in any format.

I judge you to be a xenophobe, and a hitler. And suffering from other phobias too, just to be sure.

My problem with it is that it is called salad. It tastes very good, not arguing that.

Only English nations are decadent and rich enough to turn their nose away from sandwich that doesn't have a clearly excessive and unnecessary piece of bread on top. In normal countries, free from neo-consumerist capitalist ire, we accept all sandwiches as equals.

That is actually sensible, Green parties of outside microstates should have neutral, if not positive stance towards nuclear power, even though the latter would not bode well with average electorate, mainly due to the fact that inventors of modern nuclear technologies reliably fail to communicate anything.

I don't see anything there that counters the general Eurabia argument, that being that Muslim/Arab population is much more heavily represented in the part of the population that has yet to have children, and that this population is likely to produce more offspring than the rest of the population in the same age group.

That's a very sophisticated argument compared to poo poo I usually hear that overwhelming amount of immigrants in developed EU nations are Arabs.

Is it laziness why people don't vote or is it that they have a feeling that their vote doesn't matter?

The former follows the latter. It's hard to find effort to do something meaningless, isn't it? Doesn't even matter if cabinets or whatever else is voted in directly or indirectly. Plenty of people just have preconception of politics being decided at a plane remote from their existence.

A short little think-piece that pretty much sums up my thoughts on the future of the GOP in USA. I'm just sad that they'll make life harder for their perception of "untermenchen" (LGBT, muslims, women in general) before they crash and burn.

As it looks right now, Trump administration is seeking to sign a few dozen executive orders to destroy Obama's legacy right in the first day of the office. Pence has confirmed full reversal on LGBT rights. And, as you may imagine, there will be a red Supreme Court, that may only get worse if one or more justices do die of old age during the Trump presidency. As it stands, even in for years they will be able to inflict decades of social and political damage, especially with the Supreme Court staffing. The most frightening part of all I have just mentioned? We are only in the early [American] morning of the first day after the election day.

I'm just interested to see if the rabid Trumpsupporters CAN be let down by their supreme leader, or if they'll eat up his inevitable lies and excuses as he fails on every major campaign promise.

I saw this mentioned somewhere else on the forums - he might just do bunch of busywork that appears to be means to get A or B done. Either way, he was voted in for being a piece of poo poo, not in spite of that, so I can't say that there will be a sudden revolution against him. Turns out Americans, especially white middle+ class ones, do hate Hillary Clinton to an extent they will vote for candidate that they objectively find unfit for presidency.

I meant that it was a very good post with some horrifying (but perfectly logical) assumptions. Meant nothing bad towards you, chum.

Oh, I see. I wish all of those were assumptions, to be fair. There have already been official statements concerning the first day executive orders, and destruction of LGBT protections. The major assumptions I made are a long standing conservative majority in the Supreme Court after Trump is done with presidency, and the public in general regressing towards xenophobia. I'm afraid that either may be more likely than not.

At least you guys are not voting for SD any time soon (or ever at all), even though even SD would prove to be a major quality of political life improvement for me coming over from Latvia. While our right is not so overt with slandering "the others", they still are economically liberal. At least they can't possibly form a government without any of the two major parties taking the effective lead of the coalition.

Well, they couldn't. We're experienced sort of a political crisis right now with ruling party plummeting to being unpopular with everyone bar literally their friends and relatives, so it's hard to predict what will happen on the next elections.
