| #2 Capsu78 "In one wine enhanced after dinner conversation" I have heard this sort of thing before. This was a very happy socialist country. Everything they have done in oil, fishing, cruse lines are booming. They have the lowest crime rate in twenty years. Rape is the only crime that has increased. Women go out in pares now. They frown on smoking and frown on drinking. Most of my relatives would bristle at the thought of drinking. In two weeks I will meet several at our family reunion. This all will be downplayed. Socialism is king there. They have put God in the back seat of the bus. What will they do? more of the same. This side of my family I can say I know of one true constant, drinking is not allowed nor for their children. They are downright harsh about it. This will be a dry reunion guaranteed. Just to speak of Norwegian Glogg I got lectured. |

| #1 But Norway has no death penalty. Norwegian law can't even keep this murderous thug in jail for more than 21 years. Since the killer apparently dreams of starting a Knights Templar war against Islam and cultural Marxism, Norway's PC justice system will give him 21 years to write his manifesto while recruiting alienated skinheads for his cause. I have been privileged to visit Oslo and to have know a Norwegian clan for 20 years. In one wine enhanced after dinner conversation with one of the tribe, my Norwegian friend said his biggest problem with America was its acceptance of the death penalty. OK, he was a Theology student, so not much different than having the same conversation with a parish priest- "No government can play the roll of God" vs my Texas sun baked argument that rabid dogs can't be allowed at the church picnic- some people just need killin'. After an appropriate amount of time, and a couple of bottles of wine, I intend to ask him if he still feels the same way in light of this tragedy. |
