State-funded fertility treatment? What, a fifth of whiskey and a gigolo?

Big deal. Most lesbians are already fertile.

Snarfangel: State-funded fertility treatment? What, a fifth of whiskey and a gigolo?

That's the Dutch, actually.

God damn commies and their state-funded turkey basters.

Norway becomes sixth country to allow same-sex marriage have their family life and social values overall completely rotted destroyed by the gay lifestyle.

...Wait, that hasn't happened anywhere yet? Why, it's almost as if everyone against same-sex marriage is full of shiat...

Another country to have greater human rights in this area than 48 out of 50 of the United States.

/Freedom!

Rapture?

If it weren't for the weather and the price of beer, I'd move to Norway in a heartbeat.

Stable, progressive states FTW.

the law passed by a two thirds majority.

They make Americans look even more backwards. Not only did they pass common sense civil rights laws, they even did that shiat by decree. That is badass progressiveness.

By the way, the Progress Party is for progress in the same way that North Korea is for Democracy.

FTFA: After the vote Wednesday evening, opponents from the Christian Democrats and Progress Party were among the first to leave.

Norwegian fundies stun easily, major.

/fjord!

I can at least respect the Norwegians. They, unlike the filthy Swedes, were going to be shiat canned by the Soviets and still had the testicles to join NATO.

I am a fertility treatment for lesbians, so I'm really getting a kick etc.

I have been offering fertility treatment to lesbians since I was 16, just doin my part.

I guess you could always rapture yourself. I'm sure the rest of the saved will be right behind you?

I have a friend that is Norwegian and he really freaking hates the Swedes. Every time that American Express commercial about the guys find out they were Swedish comes on he gets very insulted. He doesn't seem to know why Norway hates Sweden so much either. Apparently they just do.

So is that why?

Norway is very high on my list of countries where I'd be willing to live if there was meaningful work there for my wife and for me. (Anyone hiring a liberal pastor/professor there?)

Good for them!

I hope you like the government confiscating 70% of your pay while they pull the plug if you need treatments like dialysis for chronic disease. You won't have enough money left over to pay for it out of pocket. Why do you think healthcare is so cheap in Europe, my friend.

yes, I'm sure that's *exactly* how it is to live and work in Norway.

Wow, you'd think that Norwegians would be leaving the country by any means available if that were the case... I wonder why they stay?

Oh, I know... you're full of shiat, that's it.

It's complicated. Scandinavians have a love/hate relationship like brothers, and with Sweden being the biggest brother, Norwegians and Danes probably harbor the most resentment. Of course, if a Swede does something amazing on the world scene, we're still a little proud that a fellow Scandinavian made good.

It goes back centuries - basically, Denmark and Sweden were in a non-stop state of war, pausing only to re-arm, from the end of the Kalmar union around 1520 and up until the Napoleonic ages. Norway as often as not was the prize in these conflicts, which must have been really freakin' annoying. These were nasty wars, too - ethnic cleansing is not a new invention, and armies of that day "lived off the land" - i.e., they took their supplies from the locals at swordpoint.

Norway was part of Sweden (formally, it was a union, but everybody knew who was the bigger power...) from Napoleon's fall until 1905, where they declared independence and the Swedes agreed to dissolve the union.

Of course, with the introduction of democracy and industrialization, the Scandinavian countries have all walked down more or less the same path, so there's no real bad blood anymore. It's mostly a joke, although the fans of the respective national soccer teams have to be kept separate on game day.

FWIW, my old regiment was founded in 1658, when we broke the Swedish siege of Copenhagen. We carried the battle honors for that on our standard - never mind what the Swedes thought of that.

Snarfangel: State-funded fertility treatment? What, a fifth of whiskey and a gigolo?

Dude, it's Norway. First, a fifth won't do anything to the inhibition level of your average Norwegian, and second, they'll much rather drink the hooch they make out back than any imported Gvt.-taxed whiskey.

Granted, Norway is a beautiful country, even if it rains to much in Stavangor. But regarding Norwegians hating Swedes...yes, they do. And its not just Swedes but pretty much everybody, I get the impression that Norwegians only like Norwegians.

Now as for those Norwegian lesbians...do they know how to sing? 'Cause that's what I would do if I was God.

You're ability to corrupt a thread about lesbians, Norwegians and eventually over taxation, especially regarding alcohol, in order to make a stupid leftist comment is commendable.

I've got news for you Mr. Stupid, everyone is free to kill brown men by the millions.

Dad?

Am I the only one that's really offended by governments sanctioning any marriages? Instead of trying to extend the power of the government, shouldn't we instead try and get government out of the family entirely?

Abolish state sanctioned marriage!

Would want dialysis to stop being available, what with all the crack you're smoking.

Darth Continent: Yep, looks like it's just you.

So, you don't have a problem with the government giving preferential treatment to one variety of relationship, but not offering similar protection to say, extended families?

I can't be the only one bothered with the government deciding what kinds of family arrangements are "valid" and confer benefits.

Martin contends the lease agreement that Camden is trying to enforce is invalid because it violates Florida law.

The lease defines a service member as only someone on active military duty, which is contrary to Florida law, Martin said. The law recognizes reservists and members of the National Guard as service members in addition to those on active duty, he said.

He might have a point there. The guy was a good tenet for over 4 years. Most things say you can just give 30 days notice and move out once you have been in the place over a year. Even if he is let out of the lease by the court I'm betting the property company tries to put something on his credit report anyway.

Hell I had a complex try to bill me to replace the missing fan in the bathroom THEY took out six months before we moved and never replaced.

So is that why?

A lot of it actually stems from World War II. The Swedes remained "neutral" yet through the war, was supplying Germany with iron ore.

There is still anger today from the Chinese and Koreans over their treatment at the hands of their occupiers, the Japanese.

Also, there is still resentment over the 1920 Treaty of Trionon, which ripped Hungary apart, after WW I, giving Transylvania to Romania.

Wait, they already accept polygamy, now they're allowing gay marriage? They're doing it backwards! Gay marriage is suppose to be the slippery slope down to redefining marriage as more than a man and a woman.

JQPublic: which ripped Hungary apart

Is that what released the vampires?

Actually, countries like Norway and Sweden, and other lower-echelon democracies, have the luxury of exploring some of their more hedonistic tendencies, although Biblically and morally wrong. They do not have to maintain such a high-profile international presence as the United States does. As a leading nation, we cannot afford to dabble in such indulgences.

I was talking about the United States. Not Saudi Arabia or some Muslim country. I don't see what it has to do with my point. America will not allow same-sex marriages because quite simply we do not as a nation believe in them.

And we will Americanize Iraq, and summarily the entire region even if it means replacing most of the population and inviting more democracy-friendly individuals to take their place. Call this a "money hole," call this an expensive "pet project," we will be there as long as it takes to do this.

Did you give a damn about the issue before the whole Gay-Marriage issue came up? I don't know anyone who cared before Massachusetts legalized gay marriage. The whole "get the state out of marriage" meme is little more than thinly disguised homophobia.
