What an interesting link, is it true the quote below. What I am asking is how many people believe in Jante and how many people question it? Its such a interesting and ostensibly positive way of living but I just wonder do the majority of Swedish people believe it ? In modern Scandinavian society, the law of Jante can be summed up in one of two ways. For those who believe: it is a way of keeping everyone equal, a simple ideal that celebrates modesty and humbleness. But for those who don’t: it’s seen as social control that suppresses individuality

Im truly surprised that anyone living in the EU would be unaware about Putins War? I hope you have reported your coworkers to the Swedish authorities to have them arrested for treason....treason I tell you !!! I know @Pidesco will agree with me about this unacceptable ignorance

These stories are important because it reminds me that the anger must always be directed towards Putins War and not all Russians because many Russians are opposed to the war and Putins autocratic running of the country

I agree with this, we know that radiation takes decades to go away And if you look at the overall Russian military failures and strategies and you take conscripts who have to do what they told I can absolutely believe they were unaware that the ground around Chernobyl would still be radioactive That would also explain why the Russians retreated so quickly from the Chernobyl site ?

The story about the trenches was highlighted on several international news channels and if true it was incredibly stupid but apparently they were unaware that their had been radiation leakage to the soil around Chernobyl But is it true because it also could be one those examples of misinformation because the Ruskies will never acknowledge it ?

I am not sure about detecting sarcasm but most people definitely dont get an obvious joke...especially mine Unless my jokes are really bad ( some of girlfriends use to tell me that )

Please dont forget to watch it, I want see what you think Why dont you set yourself a confirmed date to watch season 1, like within the next 2 weeks, so that you dont procrastinate and forget, thats what I do with important but unintentionally forgettable goals? Im happy to remind you every 3-4 days if you want ?

I loved all the personalities, especially the villains

https://www.history.com/shows/abraham-lincoln I am watching this superlative 3 part series on Abraham Lincoln, what a great man he was and what he faced with the Civil War This series is highly recommended on the globally followed and endorsed " BruceVC TV series " rating system. I am only on episode 1 so I cant score it yet

Justified is probably my best series of all time and I have watched it twice. Dont worry about where its filmed because its very realistic and captures life in Kentucky accurately and includes some excellent themed music...listen to the song below. I love this type of Country music

I would guess the reason why you seeing " EU and Western " unity is the Ukrainian invasion has highlighted that our quality of life and Democratic values can always potentially and abruptly be threatened by an external country Its outside of living memory for most us to remember a time where this could occur and what the Ukrainians are going through reminds all of us of the reality and potential brevity of something taken for granted...security in our ways of life

To be honest I didnt know that, I always assumed Putin wanted Crimea for historical reasons and part of " Soviet border " objective. I wasnt aware the area is rich in gas ?

But surly the race of the superhero has to be accurate to the history of the character So for example, Clark Kent came from Krypton. If the next Superman became Mongolian that would be weird and incongruous to his history?

That is interesting, is that why some Finns aligned with the Nazis and had their own SS units ?

Yes but thats not the same thing, thats the EU and it has border control trust me

I always like to get anyone's opinion on any question I ask so its great you sharing your view on this Cancel culture and culture wars I find are more of a US contagion that is fueled by their endless political dichotomy and we all sometimes tend to get pulled into those unhelpful debates in many of our countries so my question is not about anything related to that. I know you not suggesting this but this is how some people respond to that question You make some good points but its hard to see my concern if you not a fan of comics and certain characters and the symbolism. Their shouldnt be a need to change the original race of anyone, you can create new characters and those can become loved and admired But I agree mantles in comics do get handed over and I have no issue with that in the case of Bruce Wayne retires and he hands over to a Hispanic, Chinese or black new Batman But I would object to a female Thor because Thor is the son of Odin and he is a man and thats based on the accurate Norse mythology

Elerond please stop being bad again, it sounds like you being anti-Western Are you sure the West wanted to declare war on Finland, I am not familiar with much of Finnish history but that doesnt sound right ?

You funny Gorthfuscious By the way I was hoping the hotties from Juice Media would make a Russian " special military operation " video. Can you imagine how hilarious that would be but I dont think Juice Media does videos outside of Oz ?

Great link, its very cogent I wonder why Denmark has decided to participate in various military operations compared to other Nordic countries? I realize your countries are all separate and have different views on certain global issues but you also very similar with your value system. Why do you think Denmark is different in this regard with its military?

Absolutely, I think Denmark has done really well with its military training in both current and historical interventions I would suggest your country has the most experienced army compared to all the Nordic countries and that includes Finland which I understand has always been aware of its history with the Soviets and its border with Russia? But as we mentioned nothing beats actual combat experience

Amentep whats your opinion on changing the race of superhero characters from white to black? I know this has been discussed in the past but I want to get your current view I am opposed to it because I dont think you need to change any established character for something to be financially successful. Black Panther is testimony to that outcome The entertainment industry should create new black superheroes and if the characters are memorable and exciting then the agency and success will be decided by peoples wallets the way it should be But I dont see the point of a black spider-man or black batman because the original characters werent black ?

Yes I agree, it would be a different military reality if the Russians were defending their country and their would be real and effective resistance But the reality of the US is since 9/11 it has trained, funded and honed its military in a way that makes them by far the most powerful military in the world. Ironically as much as we all hate wars and conflicts any country needs an "active " war to ensure it has combat experience During Apartheid the SA military spent decades in Angola and Namibia fighting the Soviet onslaught, and ensuring a buffer zone was created for SA, and until the late 1980's SA was considered to have one of worlds most well trained special forces because they use to deploy in small groups into the jungles of Angola for various reasons So its weird but you almost need war to be an effective military force

Another reality from Putins War is the ending of the suggestion that the Russian army would defeat the US in war. Obviously their wont be a war between the US and Russia, and Putin can be grateful for the reality of mutually assured destruction by nukes, because I dont think the Russia military would last a month against the US military in a "normal " war

I dont know how true that is but I do know its not in the best military interest of either Russia or Ukraine to attack cities controlled by the other side if you just consider the disastrous Russian military campaign

Open borders....you joking right ? Which country in the world has open borders, once you give me those examples I can at least compare that to the US reality?
