Oh really

[InsaneApache]

How will reducing fuel bills by 30% stop a homeless man from freezing to death under a bridge?

Are you serious?

If he's homeless he won't have any bills to pay. Honestly.

[HoreTore]

Are you serious?

If he's homeless he won't have any bills to pay. Honestly.

.....yes...... that was kinda the point....so......how does your proposal to slash fuel bills by 30% do anything to prevent a homeless guy from freezing to death then?

Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to provide him with a place to live so he doesn't have to freeze to death outside?

[Fragony]

There are no homeless people where I live, I don't have the opportunity...

Socialist paradise and all that ya know

Oh really, never saw so many homeless as I did in Norway, parks are packed with junkies at night, don't you go there

[HoreTore]

I don't live in Oslo, so no.

[Fragony]

I don't live in Oslo, so no.

Got a private socialist paradise?

Talk about missing the point spectacularly......

Norway is a bit more than just the capital, even though it may not look like it all the time...

I know, lotsa trees, and homeless people. Better dental-care would allow them to eat them

[HoreTore]

And all the homeless people(or drug addicts, as they're more commonly known) go to Oslo, where they have a couple of spots to hang out at.

Where I live, there are still no homeless people.

Oh, and a few of the illegal immigrants are homeless too of course, those who could've been a resource to society instead of being forced into hiding, but that's another debate.

Yeah it really is. Never been to Oslo by the way, only been to Bergen, sounds like I should keep things like that

[HoreTore]

Bergen isn't part of Norway.

[Fragony]

Bergen isn't part of Norway.

Yes it is, second biggest city, thought Norway was more than just the capital you said so

[HoreTore]

Yes it is, second biggest city, thought Norway was more than just the capital you said so

It is bigger than just Oslo, but Bergen still isn't a part of it... Check your atlas. And if it says its a part of Norway, they're FILTHY LIARS!!!!

Not lying about it being in Norway though, but when it comes to stubborn denial there's a Swedish in everyone I guess.

LIES!!!!!!

Though I salute your attempt to ease the situation with some good old fashioned swede-bashing

[Fragony]

Bashing Sweden is the duty of every sane person. But Bergen is still in Norway.

[HoreTore]

That's like saying Estonia is part of Spain. Just plain wrong...

[Fisherking]

I am sure there are large numbers of Norwegians who would disagree with you.

[HoreTore]

I am sure there are large numbers of Norwegians who would disagree with you.

Then they would be either ignorant, liars or irrelevant.

All true Norwegians will agree.

[Husar]

Sigurd is from Bergen.
Sigurd is way more of a viking than HoreTore.

-> Bergen is in Norway!

[HoreTore]

The Danes and Swedes were also Vikings, yet neither Stockholm nor Copenhagen is part of Norway.

Your argument is flawed. Bergen still isn't part of Norway. Something most people from Bergen will agree to, btw...

What is this Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland and Finland stuff? I thought I got rid of them by uniting Scandinavia ten thousand times or so in EU3.

Now you're just trying to get me mad.................

Since Iceland was historically owned by both Norway and Denmark, and Finland was owned by Sweden, I would argue they are part of Scandinavia. These areas were also controlled by 'Scandinavia' during the Kalmar Union as well.

Everybody always forget poor Greenland, I mean it isn't THAT small, just kinda cold and barren. Like Norway

Greenland is not independent, it is controlled by Denmark (though has some autonomous control). It would be saying "What about the Faroe islands?"

[Fisherking]

@ HoreTore

So, tell us, to whom dose Bergen belong?

I am assuming that you say they are not Norwegian because they talk funny. Their official written language is Nynorsk instead of Bokmål but they don't quite speak either and it is sort of an odd brand of Norsk they use.

But if they aren't Norwegian then who should get the taxes?

[CBR]

Just not as cold as here these days, at least not in southern Greenland.

[Ironside]

Well, your heat had to go somewhere. It's slighly more concentrated towards the Hudson Bay area though. Funny weather page, if a bit unstable.

Don't care, so long as they're not a part of Norway... Give it to the Jews.

Wrong on every count.... Nice try though. Their dialect is but one of their crimes against humanity, there's no such thing as an "official written language" as that would be illegal and like everywhere else most people use bokmål and their dialect isn't any weirder than most other dialects.

Since Iceland was historically owned by both Norway and Denmark, and Finland was owned by Sweden, I would argue they are part of Scandinavia. These areas were also controlled by 'Scandinavia' during the Kalmar Union as well.

Your "argument" is irrelevant, as the simple fact is that "Scandinavia" means "Norway, Sweden and Denmark". You're thinking of a different geographic region, called "The North"(norwegian: "Norden", sometimes "nordic countries"), which also includes Finland and Iceland. No point in "arguing" any further my friend, these are the facts.
