I second this. I believe monarchy is an outdated system costing tax payers an uneccessary burden. But if we must have a monarchy, I'm glad King Harald V is our guy.
Sure, but his recent health issues did point out just why his cousins are somewhat fond of abdicating. Unless you win the genetic lottery, all you do at that age is complicate constitutional procedures, by making the crown prince having to step in as crown prince-regent for various lenghts of time. In some monarchies, like the british one, that has real effects, if the heir and monarch have different opinions. In ours it doesn't luckily, but only because we neutered the monarchy.
True. Britain's best defender was the water around us. It's why the damage caused to the German fleet during the Norwegian campaign turned out to be so vital.
Controversial opinion: We should do this to all historic buildings that have been attempted to be destroyed by people. For example: The Colosseum in Rome, which people just robbed building stones from when they needed it until it became a skeleton of its former self. We lose nothing of value by repairing historic buildings, but for some reason The Colosseum, Parthenon, Roman Forum etc. will just stay there and slowly decay with only mild repairs.
Police exercise for crowd/riot control, which is why the "protestors" are in police uniform. But the more likely explanation is that someone sat next to another on the bus while the bus was otherwise empty, and things got a little out of hand.
It's even worse actually... A year 2000 song, like "Oops!... I Did It Again" by Britney Spears is 24 years old now. Meaning that its as old to us, as if it would have been released in 1976 for someone born in 2000.
As a Norwegian who lost classmates in the 2011 attack, my heart gives all the love possible to every Czech person and wish the best to each and every one affected by the terrible shooting. Hopefully this will forever be their last mass shooting.
Shame on you for making this political. But for your information, Breivik was insanely far-right and frequently does the Nazi salute in court. I have no information about the Czech shooter.
Sign of a true Chad, just like the country with 42,3% poverty. Ulike the British Virgin Islands with a measily 16%, pfft they gotta pump those rookie numbers up
Love and congratulations from Norway! More countries should look to Finland as the benchmark of a stable, civil, and cooperative political system! It genuinly makes me happy that you both are delighted for this new President, even though you didn't vote for him.
Insane that only 53 years before this (1903) the plane hadn't even been invented yet. We went from a few sticks that allowed a winged vehicle to "fly" 12 seconds, to THIS! Humanity truly is capable of everything
The more you take care of your mental and physical health, the better you sleep. I have no problem sleeping, and I know people who some are smarter and/or dumber than I, some sleep better, some worse. Stop trying to disguise bad mental/physical health as a "I'm just too smart." Its the same thing as saying: "I'm depressed simply because I am so smart." And will therefore make no effort in improving your own situation. That mentality, I believe, is truly stupid because you trick yourself and make life worse.
I get that its a joke, but I see the same/similar thing posted over and over so much that the humour is gone, at least from my perspective. It just seems like the people posting this are venting a frustration, disguised as a joke, without acknowledging the core of the frustration. Sure this joke was funny the first 100 times i saw it, but more than that and it just seems like empty conplaining. If you find it entertaining thats awesome, but for my part its just not
I wonder, is the strengthening of the Euro versus the Yen enough to make Germany's export less competitive than Japan's? Thus reestablishing Japan's position as the nr 3 economy? That being said however, unlike Germany, Japan has barely any natural resources, meaning with a weak currency they pay more to import raw products (metals, food, lumber) before putting it together and reselling it a refined product.
Honestly, if I were running late to work on a busy day, I'd fully expect the boss to give me a light warning. It would be unfair to the other coworkers who came on time and had to work extra hard, just because I was too lazy. I don't want special treatment for disrespecting my coworkers by being late, and will neither give any.
Serving second breakfast on dinnerplates? What are you, a goblin?
Hobbit breakfasts are just that big. You heard Merry, "Tomatoes, sausages, nice crispy bacon!"
"Sir, a second Hobbit has just entered Mt. Doom"
I’m not a particular fan of monarchy, but he isn’t a bad guy

Excellently written, my fellow oil baron brother!

We need an animated TV series exploring this alternate reality
England is connected to France
Even better, to Germany! Had Churchill just drained the ocean by 1km in WW2, he could have rolled tanks right across Germany's Küstenland penisland.

Can someone tell me what's actually going on here

"Only the true Messiah denies his divinity!"
The same way all Wiki articles eventually lead to WW2/Hitler, all fiction/fantasy leads to Lord of the Rings.

I really hate when leftists goes And shoots people over some bullshit

Everyone knows Norwegian gas smells gay.
As a Norwegian, i wish i could give you reddit gold

Pornland?
He’s qualified for the job for sure. I voted for Haavisto too though.

Someone at Disney is 100% gonna see this and start shoehorning it into a movie franchise and sell a million plushies of it

Man, do we have to over-analyze every half-witted joke? I feel like this comment almost proves OP's point.

You ok, China?
What do you call those in the middle? Hisbillies? Hillspanics?
Just FYI, looking back 12 months, the euro has strengthened about 13% versus the yen.

It was me. I worked more this week. You are welcome.
Thank you for your service, I vacationed in Germany last month. Donated some of our Norwegian GDP to support you, my fellow brethren <3
