Yeah, but is having a stamp that says "danish" in your passport enough to be considered of danish culture?![]()

Same in Australia. We have Hells Angels, Gypsy Jokers, Nomads, The Finks, Rebels, Commancheros and Bandidos. With the Commancheros, Finks, Nomads and Rebels at war with the Bandidos, Hells Angels and Notorious. They all are generally mix-race gangs, but Notorious is mostly Arabic/Pacific Islander/other Middle Eastern and the Gypsy Jokers and Finks are predominantly white.
There are also numerous South-East Asian and Chinese gangs in Sydney and still quite a few Italian families in Melbourne.
There is a disturbing rise in Middle Eastern gangs in the Sydney's Inner West, with four major gangs Dlasthr (The Last Hour or Assyrian Kings), the Muslim Brotherhood Movement, Asesinoz MC and Brothers For Life (BFL). Dlasthr is more organised, etc, while MBM, Asesinoz and BFL are involved in petty crime and Islamic extremism. They rival the Bra Boys, who are mostly white surfers, but they do have some high-profile rugby-league players in their ranks.
So I guess Horetore we have a similar situation to what y'all in Scandinavia have. And my 2 cents, the reason white-Australians here will support the white gangs, despite them all being involved in crime, is that the Middle Eastern gangs here are based around Islamic extremism, anti-Australian acts and violence against whites.![]()

Some piously affirm: "The truth is such and such. I know! I see!"
And hold that everything depends upon having the “right” religion.
But when one really knows, one has no need of religion. - Mahavyuha Sutra
Freedom necessarily involves risk. - Alan Watts
It all boils down to this, from where I am from:
There will ALWAYS be crime... Heck, I wouldnt smoke weed if it weren't! Now, what group do I support...
A) Hells Angels... These guys have the same basic belief system as me... I mean, YES they are criminals... Some of them are totally out of controll. But the main majority of them follow the common inofficial rules as are upheld by society at large...
B) Some Arabic gang... These guys rape women for dressing as whores (you know, they are not dressed like ninjas in skirts) and their prefered victim of robbery (and violation) is white men...
How could I EVER choose between them?
Get real.
A) White scum
B) Black scum
How could you choose between them... good point!

You CLEARLY rocked my world.
I get that a lot....

Why would you need to voice your support for either group? The only side you should be on is the law, and that places you against both of those groups of criminals. To do otherwise (by your argument, anyways) is only a sign of both racism and ignorance, things which our world certainly doesn't need anymore.

This is the great question of the age.
The follow-up question is "Should people always behave in a way that the majority in a society feel happy and comfortable with?"
Then the question after that is "To what extent do individuals have rights of belief and expression?"
Of course, as ever, none of you see the historical parrallels. The development of fascism in the early 20th century was due to the creation of new, potentially disparate nations. When Germany and Italy were created out of the various smaller states they had to impose an ideal of nationhood. Everything had to branded with the mark of the new nation. Germany still has Bundes-everything. The side-effect of this is it left a large number of people with questionable loyalty. Catholics (to Rome), Gypsies and Jews.

The answer to the age old question is very simple, that freedom ends where someone else's freedom begins, where that is different for every culture but ignoring said rule is asking for trouble. There, I just saved the world.
No, to use an old English saying; "do whatever you want, just don't scare the horses", i.e. its not my business to interfere in your life, just make sure you don't interfere in mine.
Every right up to the point it interferes in someone else's life. eg, british jews. They look funny, they keep themselves apart, the east funny food, have a funny religion, but who cares, because they live there lives without imposing that view on others.
Then for example you have the millions of ME/muslim immigrants the UK is trying to 'assimilate'. They look funny, they keep themselves apart, the east funny food, have a funny religion, but find themselves the object of distrust from the native population, because that native population perceives a noisy grievance culture from the newcomers which is forcing the natives to adjust their lives to accommodate a griping minority who really ought to be grateful they got citizenship and quietly set about making themselves British, i.e. the italicized English idiom above.
Some of us see those exact problems in the attempt to forge a federal europe.

The actual examples of natives having to adjust their lives are remarkable thin on the ground, and yet remarkably prevalent in the media. I certainly have never had to adjust my life in any way shape or form. Nor has anyone I know or met. However all have read the stories in the newspapers.

Like I said, have some patience, the negative effects are already beginning to show in Oslo, and it's going to get worse. Like everywhere.
