    It's all part of the insanity which is sweeping the western world at the moment, and in both cases there's nothing which can reverse them, absolutely nothing - so hold on to your hats, it's gonna be a rough ride.

    Yes. Hypocrisy is very bad. The most important thing is that you (the Swedes) should tell themselves the truth. You (the Swedes) should understand - savages with the help of your government occupy Europe. If you understand this - This is the first step on the way to the society's convalescence.I think so.

    In this thread everyone takes turns insisting that an increase in child suicide has been caused by whatever issue they personally care about.

    Please **** off all of you.

    The federal government does a fine job on its own showing it is decadent and morally bankrupt. They do not need Russian trolls to point out the obvious.

    We commit military aggression across much of the globe, killing and torturing innocent people. Anybody with eyes wide open knows this.

    Well yes.But the parameters are already set up and welded in place. The starting point to any discussion on the migrant problem begins from our notion of "racism", as I have already described. If that (our) definition is the cornerstone of any subject then there is no way out. It's like the American Constitution, 2nd. amendment. If you believe it is written in stone with blood then any discussion on its removal (or additional amending) is out of the question.

    I mean, I can easily point out that our bad treatment of our own Swedish countrymen is based upon race/ethnic orientation ....... but that isn't in our definition of "racism" therefore it is impossible to be racist against a white person. It's in stone, written in blood. Let me give you another example: In Sweden, we say that anyone who speaks to a complete stranger is either drunk or insane. This means that only a drunk or an insane person dares to speak to strangers because of the stigma. You see! We are right! Likewise, anyone who even recognises another person as non-Swedish must be a racist.

    I realize I didn't explain it very well, but it's a difficult subject to put into words.

    Very much so.
    Indeed, but this reply of yours is in response to someone who might not be in possession of those fine qualities.

    I know. They are irritating. They have some crazy idea that a discussion forum is set up for people to view their own ideas.

    There is nothing complicated. On the contrary, everything is clear. But only if you begin to look at the customs of the Swedes on the issue of "racism", as the customs accepted in totalitarian religious sects.
    In fact, Western countries (Sweden included) are under the occupation of the cult of tolerant idiots. And all who did not become a "tolerant idiot" are expelled from society. They are subject to censure and even prosecution. Conversely, the ideas of "tolerant idiocy" are being promoted in all Western media. "Tolerance" is such a form of fascism on the contrary. Previously, shouted "Zig Haile", Now they shout "Welcome cannibals". Have you read "Fahrenheit 451" Bradbury?

    I don't know what tolerant means anymore. I have little of it left myself. I just look the other way and batten down the hatch. I can tell you one thing and that is the population hasn't much of it but just afraid to say so. The ballot box is our only way out and the results show it! There are big changes happening. No, haven't read it. I do remember seeing the film back in the beginning of the 70's but I don't remember much about it.

    It is true, but it's not like Russia doesn't do that kind of things. Their goverment murders political opposition regularly. They are intolerant with gays and lesbians. And they sell weapons to other countries just like the usa does. If american teenagers are decadent, then russians are obviously indoctrinated and brainwashed.

    I don't think it has anything to do with intelligence. Or money. Or education. It's 100% down to motivation.

    Few humans have ever been as amoral as a god who would wipe out every living thing in a flood. Or have children mauled to death by bears for calling his buddy a mean name. Etc etc etc, ad nauseum.

    He's referring (I'm sure) to suicides in the absence of a terminal and debilitating disease or injury. Very few suicides are in fact, the result of voluntary euthanasia. We don't count those. Those are justified. It's 99% of unjustified suicides that are the problem.

    And some of us call a spade, a spade. We KNOW it's a failure in parenting. I'm sorry if that doesn't mesh with your own preferred view. Let me guess, though ... you think it's 'society'. Despite the fact that plenty of kids are thriving in precisely the same society .. the only difference being parenting styles.

    Decadence, indoctrination are 2 different things, but otherwise I understand what you're saying, I think. Yes humans are corruptible. Indeed, a human that does not corrupt under pressure is rare. The Russian culture is very obviously different than ours. I accept that.

    What gets me is the hypocrisy of the situation. We lied to the Russians, we did not live up to the deal. As the Native Americans learned early on, the government in Washington speaks with forked tongue and cannot live up to its promises. It angers me that my tax dollars go to fund such an immoral bunch of liars, and nothing has changed in that regard.

    Russia seems to have much more class, more dignity and honor. I've never been there but my brother used to visited it several times back in the 70s. I think it is shameful right now the way we are acting towards the Russians. I've known and worked with several and they are good people.

    Hmmm. You write as though you don't believe in a Christian God. What did he or she or it do exactly?

    So you accept nature as god. Nothing wrong with that. But it is wrong to view nature as a personal enemy. Nature is what it is and you and I are a part of it.
