Ok, that does it. I really should get the hell out of Sweden. But where to? Parts of Eastern Europe are appealing, but their level of infrastructure seems to be way below what I'm used to as a Swede. Their car roads suck, for one.

Don't abandon your country. Even if you are a coward and a traitor the disease of liberalism runs deep, you'll never escape it. Stand your ground and fight.

I'm not sure this out of necessity makes me a coward and a traitor. Suppose I determine that my home country is a lost cause and I can't do anything about it (not even with a movement that support my cause and values), then why can't I recognize it as such and move on to some place that isn't as liberalism infested?

What then would you contribute in a new country where you have few or no genuine connections to anything or anyone? You would only become a burden to everyone else, and personally you would probably be better off killing yourself anyway.

As far as Sweden in particular goes you're not alone, I know that the faggotry and general decadence in Sweden is setting many world records. Again however; stop whining and start doing something about it, or kill yourself.

I think it always was a figurative argument, but the point is that the literal act would be a positive step.

Let us first answer the question:

Would human civilization be better or worse if we fed all the under-120s into a woodchipper?

Worse of course. The collective trauma of any such act would make the remaining civilization implode. But it's a figurative question, the meat of which being: Is high quality better than low quality? Whoop dee doo, we all know the answer, but I doubt such an obvious conclusion makes us any wiser.

What we do need to ask, in a pragmatic fashion, is: Is this and that of high or low quality? Who needs to be put here and who needs to go there?

I admit, I have trouble with this.
And since you'va all wanted to be Canadian Liberals, at some point, here's what I know about it...

There is a script you maust follow. It goes something like this:
1: "How are you today?"
2: You are supposed to respond with: "Fine thanks. How about you?"
3: "Fine thanks."
Then you're both supposed to end the conversation and ignore each other.
But if you don't respond to being asked how you are today, the initiator will respond as if you had, anyway.
If you do respond, but with any details about how you actually are, the initiator will become increasingly paranoid, and may well end up calling the police.

In stores, which is where Canadians spend almost all their free time, there is also a script.
This often takes the form of adding non-sequiturs to the end of any question:
1: "Do you have a telephone number, with us, today?"
Which is a sort of base starting point, for other random non-sequiturs, such as:
2: "Do you have a telephone number, with us, today, at all?" Or:
3: "Do you have a telephone number, with us, today, at all, or...?"
Notice, in example 3:, the addition of what I like to refer to, as 'The Hanging "Or"'. The Hanging 'Or' denotes your unwillingness to assume anything, which is a good indicator of your non-judgmentalism, and thus complete harmlessness, which is the most important thing a Canadian Liberal wishes to convey.

This is a very funny way to put it, and I realize (even though I'm not Canadian) that this pertains to a particular neurotic pattern of behaviour, but I still want to nitpick because the subject of discourse is always interesting.

You will have a hard time finding a culture in any place or time in which spoken discourse is entirely pragmatic. Similarly to body language the empty phrase has always worked as a much needed social lubricant, as anyone who has ever made friends or successfully courted a woman realizes. What is striking (and sad) is actually how we have less codes of conduct today than ever before, and how politeness is becoming less and less important. Acceptable behaviour in aristocratic societies required knowledge of many of these seemingly pointless linguistic subtleties, because "going the extra mile" for your conversational partner was seen as a proof of respect and politeness.

We should put this in your context again however. As you pointed out this is a time when all substance has given way for fluff and air, and indeed; lubricant should only be applied to achieve the sufficient amount of friction, and not to remove it altogether. The Anus demands the right amount of lubricant. :-D

I am studying to become a teacher, and it just hit me that some students might belong in the third category. I hope my brain does not end up on the chalkboard before I can get productive and start shaping the next generations!

That is me saying that the third option is not a good one. If you have the means to truly make a positive difference in the world you need to do everything in your power to utilize them.

I saw I'd been stung when we marched to the Darfar border. The pay was poor and the wine was sour, and I don't like black women.

Take it from Conan, yo.

Blessed are the sick benefit receivers.

To put some perspective on this, this guy had apparently been a major thorn in the side of the government for years, being unable to function without an hourly dose of Judas Priest. With the Swedish state's generally far-gone intervention policies, this was the unavoidable result.

Overwhelmingly, the members here are from Japan, Europe (speci. Scandinavia), the UK and the USA

This surprises me even more, now.

Look at that, there's even one Hessian trooper down in Nigeria. I''ve actually been trying to gather contacts in Africa for a while, in preparation for a long excursion. Would it be against the 'rules' to ask for a username based on an IP address?
