Denmark

A few weeks ago I started a debate about my own country - Denmark - I asked people if they were proud of being danish.

One stood out - saying that Denmark were being used as frighting image of bad foreign policy - is this true?

Do your countries mention Denmark as a bad country on that subject or for that matter on any subject?

Is my Country - Denmark - so terrible that other countries find us so horrible?

Because I am proud of Denmark and being Danish, I see Denmark as one of the worlds best country, with a good economy, a good society were no one is left behind and a fair foreign policy

Im out

Well, in Lithuania there are a few huge pig farms that belong to danish businessmen. The media had blown out a huge scandal about "Danish swine" and the pollution that the farms are causing to the area they're built in. In my opinion the image of the country isn't the fault of it's citizens. It's the politicians and the oligarchs that ruin it. My dad's construction company had a few objects in Denmark, and the workers who were sent there described the danish folk as "warm and friendly". I cannot confirm it cause I've never been there(I'm always get sent to either Sweden or Finland, sometimes Norway). It isn't the common folk's fault. The 'image' is built(at least in my country) by idiots in the goverment.

The media in Sweden thinks your foreign politics are very racist and that you have way to many laws.

Personally, Denmark seems like a nice country to live in with nice, friendly people unlike the cold, xenophobic (ok, maybe I am exaggerating) swedes.

The only problem I have with Denmark is the language. Sorry, but it is horrible. xD I can understand Norwegian just fine and I often visit their VG.no to read what is happening in Norway (often they write about things that happen in Sweden aswell lol) but I cant understand any danish at all. xD

Also one of your male singers got famous here recently so you often here his songs in danish on the radio atm.

Legoland is great though! And HC. Andersen has lots of nice fairytales.


Oh, and also we do not buy meat from Denmark because there was a huge scandal which revealed that you are torturing the pigs etc. But I think there are cases of that in Sweden aswell, unfortunaly.

Swedish media likes to use Danske Folkeparti as a frightening example of a xenophobic party that has been largely accepted and integrated with other parties.

Can't say I disagree. When Sverigedemokraterna was voted into the swedish parliament representatives from Danske Folkeparti were there and congratulated them with "now you're finally a normal country".

Which honestly creeped the **** out of me.

I love Denmark though.

Dansk folkeparti is just a joke really, they have some power in Denmark, but they are only a supporting party - they dont rule ANYTHING !!

And they often just talk to talk, with no reason.. so we dont take them so seriously here - and well, I think Sverig demokraterne seems to be worse. But what do I know..

But you might be right, Kipshasz, it could just be the politicians - but they are suppose to work for the image of our country and if they are making it worse then that is a problem..

It is sadly true that the Danes are one of the most endangered ethnic groups in Serbia. The amount of people who show open disgust toward the "Butt worms", which is a common anti-Danish slur, is getting more unsettling with each passing day; which was proven last year, when the Danish People Are Sh*t Party won 76 seats in the parliament. The anti-Danish discrimination goes so far that they have, by royal decree, been banned from most restaurants and coffee shops, and they need a special document (maximum 3 issued per year) that allows them to walk the streets without the obligatory paper bag (with the word "DANE" written on it) on their heads.

Ultranationalist groups gather on squares singing such classics as "Hang the Dane", "I piss on your Legos" and "Hamlet was a f*ggot" every Sunday, and proceed to terrorize the Danish ghettos located in the undeveloped suburbs, without access to electricity or water. Over 95% of all Danes in Serbia reportedly live in conditions so inhumane that cholera has started spreading among the lice-ridden population, most of which are forced to work in coal-mines and almost never see the light of day again, until their bodies are carried out of the shafts and burned on giant piles in the center of their slums.

Sadly, this is plain wrong.

Dansk Folkeparti has an incredible amount of power because the government gives it to them - even if their not a part of the government themselves, the actual government is scared snowless that they will vote them down if they don't follow their leed, and hence all the government does is dance to their every tune.

As a case of point, I don't think there has been one single case of a law that was voted through by the government looking left rather than turning to DF in the last 11 years.

Pathetic, really.

Danish men are known for their lousy sperm. Supposedly Danish babies have much smaller testicles than Finnish ones, but Finnish testicles are on similiar decline. They say that pregnancy, when little Balder and Tapio are still developing, is the key period in this.

There was this documentary about chemicals that have begun to appear in much increased amounts in rivers, disturbing male hormone production in crocodiles causing them to have smaller penises.

Beware my friends! The shadow that has fallen upon Denmark is looking to engulf the entirity of western civilization and crocodiles.

Lol I thought those comics were politically objective. :S
Meh, they are still fun.

I don't see what's wrong with Sverigedemokraterna. I worked about them in school so I know that they aren't racist but just have a few controversial opinions. Some of them are very good, such as fixing the immigration and intergration problems so all immigrants that are already here can get a job etc and they also a very, very good leader and politican, Jimmie Åkesson. He has an amazing endurance and is very mature compared to the horrible, immature communist Lars Ohly.
I think it is interesting that many of those that dislike SD are even worse themselves but people freezing out SD and bullying them only creates sympathy and gives them more votes.
I am confident that SD will become the 5th biggest party during the next election, perhaps even the 4th biggest or 3d.
In the election 2014, I am 18 years old and I will be able to vote myself. But a lot of things will happen over the next 4 years and hopefully, SD will be intergrated themself to the parliment and be accepted. They are defintly here to stay though.

Xerox - Identifies himself with the Center party because I do not like any of the left parties, I do not like Folkpartiets view on school, I do not like Miljöpartiets extreme views on the enviroment, KD does not stand out for me and Moderaterna should focus on some other questions aswell and not just employing everybody (that so many are unemployed is the biggest issue in my opinion). People do not get a lot more motivated to work just because you keep lowering the taxes.

No idea, I guess they're white enough not to stir anybody's conscience.

It also probably has to do with emilsn being convinced, for some reason, that there are people out there actually bored enough to hate Denmark.

Ah well **** it, I'll do it anyway.

Let's look at Sverigedemokraternas immigration-political program:

• All residence permits shall be temporary.
• Immigrants that do not possess passports or other means of ID shall be banished immediately.
• Hiding immigrants shall be criminal.
• Immigrants shall not receive benefits in cash and only be allowed to do simpler tasks outside of their accomodations.
• Immigrants in waiting shall be bundled off to a zone outside EU.
• Those who are not swedish citizens must be 24 years to be allowed marriage. They must also give a higher contribution to the state.
• A person that needs a translator must pay for it himself.
• Immigrant-organizations (whatever that is - Adrius) shall not receive any benefits.
• Christian holidays shall be celebrated in school, christianity shall play a bigger role in schools.
• Veils and turbans shall be forbidden during work.
• To become a swedish citizen you must wait for 10 years, and after that you must pass a citizenship-test as well as commit a declaration of loyalty towards Sweden.

If you look at all of this and go YAY then we're simply different, no need to argue about it really. I hope you realize what you're cheering for though.

Like the hilarious comic said, Sweden has tried to handle Sverigedemokraterna by ignoring them and hoping they'd just go away. That's exactly the wrong thing to do.

Because of this, they've been able to spread any lies they've wanted with almost no one criticizing it.

On a sidenote I happen to like horrible, immature communist Lars Ohly

I kinda like it that the Miljöpartiet is the third biggest party over there, and that there's actually a well developed Pirate Party too.

Sweden's cool in my book.

In fact I might someday change my name to Mustafa and move there, just to irritate the nationalists.
