@Ski_Rich_Burl @UziCryptoo Funny, my payslip says 36% tax, not 50%.
Sure, cars are a bit expensive, but we have decent public transport and a very bike-able flat country.
It's not perfect, but I'd rather bike to my doctor and not pay a single krone, and then to my free education, than have a cheaper car!

@BozoProzo That's an absurd over simplification. If everyone chose to become plumbers, our society would collapse, as we had nobody to make food. So by your logic, being a plumber or any other single profession is immoral.

@elonmusk Oh, well if the AI says so, then it must be true. It's not like it could be instructed by its owners to always claim to tell the truth.
And maybe it genuinely does tell the truth. But who's truth? Who controls what data and which 'facts' it has access to?

@sky73176310 @alex_fasulo @ChBinNYC Interesting. As I understand it, the deaths are linked to the traffic of large vessels during construction, sonar surveys and the noise from pile drivers. Not the actual wind farm.
Also, they found a positive correlation, not proof of causation.

@JadedByPolitics @Herfarm @alex_fasulo And you have absolutely no idea what's going on over here. You have been sold an idea that everything is terrible here, but we're doing just fine. The biggest threat to us lately, has been an orange idiot who threatened to take part of our nation by force, just for his own ego.

[Rasmus Øvlesen @Vedilion]

@Herfarm @alex_fasulo @JadedByPolitics That's some nice cherry picking you got there. All the postcard pictures of happy cows, VS the evil solar panels cooking all life. It's easy to make something seem evil with carefully selected images, but it's not an accurate representation of reality.

@sky73176310 @alex_fasulo @ChBinNYC What has green energy killed exactly?
I know there are birds killed by windmills, but do you have any other concrete cases?

[Rasmus Øvlesen @Vedilion]

@happyfreb @PangoPangoPago @HollyGrayle No? That's the opposite of what I'm saying?
I'm saying that location of birth and ancestry does not prevent you from integrating into a nation.

@jedimaga317 @DrNeilStone I know at least two people who died of aneurismes, triggered by exercise. It might not have been that vaccine causing the stroke, but just unlucky timing.

[Rasmus Øvlesen @Vedilion]

@happyfreb @PangoPangoPago @HollyGrayle Insulting people won't make up for your lack of arguments. You have an opinion and nothing to back it up.

[Rasmus Øvlesen @Vedilion]

@happyfreb @PangoPangoPago @HollyGrayle No, those are different animals completely. They are not genetically compatible. This type of argument is called 'reductio ad absurdum' and is not a very good way to argue...

[Rasmus Øvlesen @Vedilion]

@happyfreb @PangoPangoPago @HollyGrayle So far you have had no actual arguments, other than 'black person can't be Norwegian'. Insulting those who you disagree with, just reinforces that.
Scandinavian countries have always thrived by being open and integrating people from other cultures. We have done so for centuries.

@justdavenow89 Everyone i know got their three shots, and no one had any side effects.

[Rasmus Øvlesen @Vedilion]

@happyfreb @PangoPangoPago @HollyGrayle That depends how far back we go. Do you really want to dive into the rabbit-hole of determining nationality based on ancestry?

[Rasmus Øvlesen @Vedilion]

@happyfreb @PangoPangoPago @HollyGrayle What are your requirements for a 'true' Norwegian then? Could someone born in Sweden be adopted or move as an infant and become Norwegian?
Would the child of the woman in the original post, born and raised in Norway, be Norwegian or African in your view?

[Rasmus Øvlesen @Vedilion]

@happyfreb @PangoPangoPago @HollyGrayle That's the most naive thing I have heard in a long time. Do you really think nations are small closed buckets of identical people? Nationality is so much more than where you are born and the color of your skin. All nations are mixes of people who originated in different places.

[Rasmus Øvlesen @Vedilion]

@happyfreb @PangoPangoPago @HollyGrayle Were you born in Norway or grew up there? Do you have citizenship, speak Norwegian, understand their culture and actively contribute to their society?
No? Then you are not Norwegian. She meets all those requirements, maybe except being born there. Her skin color does not matter.

[Rasmus Øvlesen @Vedilion]

@robkhenderson "Can sometimes be justified" doesn't mean anything without context.
"To suppress people you disagree with politically" and "To protect your family from assault" are two very different cases where violence can be used, but you make it would like 'liberals' condone both.

[Rasmus Øvlesen @Vedilion]

@EdwardK97329 @Strandjunker Well, most of the principles of civilization, democracy and science, predates Christianity and was created by the ancient Greek and Roman cultures, while Islam drastically evolved science. Christianity has added a lot about ethics and liberty though.

[Rasmus Øvlesen @Vedilion]

@anticommunist44 @ObnoxiouslyOcho @alfkkifine That is assuming that all marriage is based on Christianity.
In Scandinavia, marriage has roots from the Viking Age. This was partly religious, but also a practical and legal way of binding families together.
It is still relevant for secular people today, as a cultural tradition
