Well, I have seen some posters by your governement. It was a black girl and some statistic about all the rapes and robberys made by foreigners. After your primeminsisters anti foreigner statements her popularity rose enourmously according to swedish media.
So basicly you don't know anything about our government. The ones who made that poster, any many more of that nature, is a parti called Dansk Folkeparti. They are not in control!!! And that bítch Pia Kjærsgaard is certainly not our prime-minister, she's not any kind of minister. She's never been and never will be...

Our Primeminister is Anders Fogh Rasmussen, and he's from a parti called Venstre.

And Dansk Folkeparti does not have much support. They have some among close minded small town folks, but that's all. Socialdemokratiet and Venstre are the two big ones, and they are not racists.

That sounds more like xenophobia than racism.
And that's just how that bítch who made 'em would like it to sound.

Dansk Folkeparti's "mission" is all about "protecting" Denmark. Keeping our traditions and so on... a pile of monkeypooh is what it is... They say that they're not racists, but it is so obvious.

Man, if she were to take a walk in the wrong neighboorhood at the wrong time, she would end up like Anna Lindh - except that we wouldn't be sad like the swedes are now, we would probably be partying for several weeks.

There was alot of mixed feelings. Many were upset, and the rest didn't care or quietly supported him.

Three guys even managed to attack him and throw red paint on him, while they were shouting that he's got blood on his hands. Talk about crappy security inside the parliament...

Fogh is generally a good guy, but there's really just one thing on his mind - MONEY. As every other politician out there.

To provide a different point of view here-and I know I might get flak for it, but I'm racist.

    Tired of what though? Foreign people coming and taking jobs? Or are you more concerned that foreigners cause crime and take over certain areas?

    IMHO, I don't think anyone living in North America has any right to dislike foreigners, because it's not their land in the first place. It's so damn hypocritical of Americans to say that foreigners change the traditional way of life, because that's what white Americans did to the native Indians in the first place. Sure, you may say "But that was ages ago, in the times of colonization, so it's different". Bullshit. That doesn't give anyone the right in 100 years to say the same thing.

    It's really sad... The same thing happens in Australia. The native Aborigines are so damn mistreated by everyone, especially the police. People look down on them so much and they have the worst living conditions, because nobody gives Aborigines jobs. They have a reputation for being drug and alcohol addicts, but I wish people would stop and see the reason for that... if they're not given jobs, they have little else to do, so they turn to such things. The natives don't get a fair go... :down:

    You are right my friend. It's wack for an american to say shit about foreigners. I especially hate some of the things they say about europeans, which is quite stupid considering that many of them have their roots in either europe or africa. It doesn't make much sense to me.

    And the aussies... a bunch of criminals take the land from the natives and then look down on them... jeez. But ok, blame the british for that ;)

    BTW (yes I used it, shoot me ;) ) this australian chick just got engaged to our crown prince, and she will become the queen of Denmark someday. It's impossible to watch TV now... everything is about this frikkin' wedding, It's driving me mad and I'm starting to hate Australia :D

    I also agree with everything that Gray said. But discrimination doesn't only happen here in the US, it also happens parts of Latin America I would say. For example, in Mexico it seems as if Native Americans, or "indians", are also looked down upon. So it doesn't only happen in the US but throughout the Americas too. Either way it's really messed up.

    Well, if u're tired of foreigners, don't travel buddy..........becoz there u'll be a foreigner, and then would u like to be met by a racist? I don't think so.

    Some people are so narrow-minded. Would u please define foreigner for me?? What the heck do u consider urself? Just because there's a constitution in the land that made u a citizen...that all of a sudden created a holy tie between u and the land of North America that u don't want any foreigner "polluting it"??

    Anyway..........it's good u're honest. I've never met a racist that would openly admit, but I was always able to tell.


    I wonder how u enjoy talking to people on these forums then? Or do u?

    Welcome to Norway, I'm sad to say. That's not to cast a dark shadow over the nation, cause this shit is everywhere but since I live in Norway, I mostly see what goes on here. Norway is a really scattered place and you have lots of these tiny communities that have barely seen the light of day and generally just live in their own world, separated from the closest village by some 100km. First of all, not many people actually want to live there, so the places are heavily subsidised by the government, which wants to preserve that population instead of seeing it swarm to the cities.

    And that's also where a lot of asylum seekers end up, in those small places in the middle of nowhere, most of these people are thrown into this weird place, completely different from what they know and they only have their closest family for support (well depending on the case, sometimes they're all alone). And that's when they're exposed to these seemingly friendly natives who deep down are pretty skeptical to the situation. It's really a "give something to get something" situation, the people living in these tiny communities are subsidised to stay there, so that they don't have to move to find a job, so that they don't have to leave the place they grew up at, the mountains, the sea blahblah. On the other hand, most people agree Norway has some obligation/responsibility in taking in people of different walks of life and so the government says we pay you to stay here, now you accept these people into your community.
