Interesting happenings...

"... the world rankings of the most or best countries to live in..."

It just occurred to me that I think I'd like to visit the ones I haven't yet on that list, i.e., New Zealand, Netherlands, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark.

Been to all of them and they are nice places to visit. I twisted (badly) my ankle in Norway and they couldn't see a break on the x-ray but it looked broken to me and the Doctor in the little town of Bergen so they did an MRI. When I tried to pay they wouldn't have any of it. I said I have super good insurance and to bill me or send the bill to XYZ insurance or I will pay and they will reimburse me. No is all they said! Not our way! 

Super nice people in Scandinavian countries Norway, Sweeden, Finland, and Denmark. I have nothing but awesome memories. 

To the other posts and the like. Remember what I hate?

What I hate is stupidity!

I really don't care if you want to spend your life blaming a race of people for you being a tosser (British for F'D Up) I might even agree with some of your multinationals controlling the world's governments ideas. The violence of your ideology is an egg salad sandwich and as violent as you might get it would pale in comparison to the place I would begin. Should I be forced to be a jerk again. I quite like the calm, karmaBard, stopping to find the love in the world Scott I made. But I won't share my vodka with you because you're stupid. A socialist group that marches under a fascist flag? The person/group is obviously too stupid to have a conversation with never mind an ideological debate. 

A card-carrying fourth column Neo-Fascist. Ok, I can have a talk or debate with you. I have had talks with many militant skinhead types in the past and even drank with a few. Blinded by hate and filled with conspiracy ideology, I can even understand their point of view. I can never agree with it or condone it. But I can see it. Even if their point of view is incorrect. "If a man is blind it is not his fault he doesn't know he has his arm up an elephant ass!" Sounds better in the local language. 

Us and Them by Pink Floyd. I don't agree. I won't cross the camp to hear the poison. But I probably wouldn't get up from the campfire if it was brought up. So long as it didn't drift into the realm of stupid. Everybody is free to be you and me. 

People of this ilk are best given a wide gap. They are not stable and not very intelligent and the combination does tend to make them pretty dangerous. I would protect any race of person from their violent ideology because...well that is who I am. If they want to stand in the cacti and preach hate so be it. But no violence.  I will not join the ranks of the stupid. Nor will I join the ranks of "The Turning Away." Another great Floyd song (mostly Waters in this case).
