Got Jule <= Happy New Year !

Glug <= Glug.

if you go there on Dec. 31, these phrases will be helpful.

"Tak for Motten" - thanks for the food.

"Bar so Good" - you're welcome.

my Dad was Swedish, he taught us a few of the words. no swear words though.

One thing I am curious, is there actually a serious Muslim immigrant crime/rape issue in Sweden, like in places like Malmo?

I've heard reports as well as acusations of media blackouts on the subject, but I am always skeptical of such as being possible sensationalism until I hear it first hand from an actual resident.

A second question on Sweden would be, if there are big problems, are the Swedes blaming themselves for the crimes & rapes or are they blaming the people doing the crimes?

Glug does not exist as a word. I guess you mean Glögg,

Tak for motten => tack för maten => Thanks for the food
Got jule => god jul => Merry christmas

Bar so Good => Varsågod => you´re welcome

Yes and no, there are a lot of muslim immigrants yes. However, crime/rape is not that big of a problem. Swedes are not blaming themselfs no, if they have not done it. Why would we? Strange question?

There are problems of diffrent kinds of course, but i´m not to worried. Peak oil is so mutch bigger than the petty problems of today.

Thanks! I only asked the second question, because in a lot of countries, like France, they seem to blame bad immigrant behavior as being the fault of the host country not being welcoming enough, and not as much on the part of immigrants failing to adapt.

There is a Muslim cultural tendency to view women who are not virgins before marriage as basically whores. This can be illustrated by the recent outrage in Egypt over a product that women can buy (simulated hymen with fake blood) that will fool a new husband into thinking they were a virgin.

Since Western women are not as "chaste" on average as "good" Muslim women (and from Muslim religious perspective, often dress the part), I am skeptical as to what Muslim male attitudes are towards them, and I am curious as to whether the attitudes get acted upon or not.

I do know in the US that racial/cultural violence reporting tends to be one-sided. I.e. the teenage black girl who was gunned down by a Korean shopowner in Los Angeles because mistakenly thinking she was shoplifting contributed to the LA riots that came after Rodney King.

You don't hear as much about black-on-white, or black-on-Asian violence here, and it typically isn'tn considered racially motivated (even if it might be) The political-correctness filter is in place in American media, and I can only expect the political-correctness filter is even stronger in Europe.

The Kiriwina tribespeople of the Trobriand Islands have a word ''mokita'' which basically means ''the truth everybody knows but nobody speaks''.

Swedish, eh?

Stockholm's bunnies burned to keep Swedes warm

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he bodies of thousands of rabbits culled every year from the parks in Stockholm’s Kungsholmen neighbourhood are being used to fuel a heating plant in central Sweden.

The decision to use Stockholm’s rabbit cadavers as bioenergy to warm Swedes living in Värmland doesn't sit well with Stockholm-based animal rights activists.

“Those who support the culling of rabbits surely think it’s good to use the bodies for a good cause. But it feels like they’re trying to turn the animals into an industry rather than look at the main problem,” Anna Johannesson of Vilda kaniners värn (‘Society for the Protection of Wild Rabbits’) told the local Vårt Kungsholmen newspaper.

Every year, the city of Stockholm kills off thousands of rabbits in an effort to protect trees and shrubbery in the city’s extensive network of parks and green space.

According to Tommy Tuvunger with the Stockholm Traffic Office, the agency responsible for controlling the city’s rodent and wild animal population, part of the problem rests with delinquent pet owners who decide to release their rabbits into the city’s parks.

“Many of the released rabbits are tame,” he told the newspaper.


"Damn it, Sven!", said the plant operator, "We don't have time for your ethical bullsh*t, throw more bunnies in the boiler!"

My grandmother and grandfather both emigrated from Sweden. There were as many Scandinavian emigrants as there were Irish to the new world.

I sometimes wish I lived in an area with more scandinavian americans, but there is some advantage to being in an area without many others around.

I don't know if it makes sense for me to emigrate back, but my nephew and niece have both moved back to Europe and are liking it.

In Europe Muzlims are a much bigger problem than they are in usa. Just likeillegalMexicans are a much bigger problem in USA than they are in Europe. But Mexicans at least do work. Until they get their green cards, that is.

I recently read the history of the Swedish People by Moberg and it was no picnic. The average person lived in constant fear of starvation or conscription into the armies of the king.

They lived on bark bread in the countryside.

I wonder how it will be when peak oil takes hold?

My ancestors showed up later here in the US, but a lot of people moved here because of the potato famine, which was just as bad in Sweden as in Ireland.

Industrial civilization may not be able to support as many people in the north as it did.

From what I've read about earlier periods (mostly about my country), mismanagement and government incompetence might have contributed to famines as much as actual crop losses. I think Sweden will do just fine if they manage to import enough raw materials for fertilizers (those that they don't have themselves). Also, climate change will lengthen the growing season and increase crops.

Yes, there is fearmongering about Muslims immigrants in Europe, and I agree most of it is based on exaggerated negative scenarios. I'd rather have a devout Muslim as my neighbor than a delinquent non-believer.

But there is potential for major social problems: when immigrants arrive in large quantities, they tend to form ethnically uniform neighborhoods which often become ghettos, plagued by juvenile crime, hostility against authorities like police and even firemen, and chronic unemployment. This makes the native population more hostile to immigrants, causing even more resentment among immigrants, etc. This development is already visible in several European cities. If it is allowed to continue long enough, the result may look like the Balkans.
