29-year-old Muslim woman named culture minister of Norway

[Wikkiwallana]

29 seems young, but her credentials looks solid, based on your summary; I say congratulations to her and good on Norway.

[Alaje]

While I have no problem with them hiring a Muslim to such a position, I must question the sincerity of the assignment. Is the Prime Minister actually supporting Muslim integration into Norwegian society or is he simply using her to make a political statement.

Can't it be both?

A politician being efficient?
Are you mad?
They can barely accomplish one thing!

I would not object to a minimalistic success on both counts.

We can always whisper an exagerated version into the ears on Anders Breivik, sending him into a cardiac arrest.

[Phocidaea]

Obiously them Nor-wee-gee-ans dun got PC sickness goin' on! Ah mean, a hah-levul governmant ministur bein' both a WOMAN an' a Mussulm?!

'course, they're awlready a buncha commies, so Ah guess thangs ain't getting much worsur.

[Ralkovia]

She seems a bit young to be a minister of of a government.

... Also shouldnt the minister of culture for Norway be someone who especially embodies Norwegian culture?
---Not that im against Muslims or anything, just a though...

Shouldn't the President of the United States be someone who especially embodies all the charm of a schizoid with all the finesse of a wrecking ball.

I dislike her, because of her views. Her religion and extremely "young" age is not an issue. She is one of the most conservative in a party already stuck in the past.

Norwegians...conservative. Impossible.

Does old fashioned and authoritarian suite better?

[Risottia]

So Norway's new culture minister is about as far removed from a typical Norwegian as you can get.
I should think Minister of Culture is the one place where it would be acceptable to be a stereotype.

So it'd only be acceptable if she was white, rich, and Christian?

Being lesbian would be even better. Because girl on girl is hawt.

This is agreeable, but can she be bisexual instead.

There would be WAY too much hotness combined with the Brejvik-trolling, and that would lead heads to asplode. And that cannot be, because of Ordnung and Sauberkeit (order and cleaniness). Oh wait, but we're talking about Norway, not Switzerland. Go on!

Hey I wouldn't mind some heads getting blown.
(ba bum thhhsss)
If you get my drift.

Don't mind Vecherd, he's probably gonna whine again about how Norway is a totalitarian hellhole because of smoking bans and prostitution illegal. I wouldn't be surprised that he'd come up with a slice of absurdity like calling a Labour Party member "conservative", and clearly ignoring the fuckstains in the Progress Party.

What...prostitution banned. What is this Saudi Arabia?!

I actually like this kind of drifts, but I will staunchly deny of having understood it.

Nah, I think they have the same stupid system as Sweden, where buying prostitution is illegal but selling it isn't.

I'm not surprised, honestly. Too many countries have some sticks up their arses about prostitution and drugs.

Vecherd's obviously going to pretend that somehow that cancels the fact that Norway is #1 on the democracy and press freedom indexes.

Oh dont mind Zaras he is just gonna whine when Vecherd goes against the idea that the Norwegian and Swedish system is liberal.

Homosexuality is probably the last place the Labour Party is more liberal than the Progress Party. The Labour Party sent "home" several Nigerian children born in Norway, the Progress Part was against it.

Don't mind Vecherd trying to pretend that Sweden and Norway are still somehow not nice places to live and more democratic than the USA, even if they have their shortcomings.

I can't believe the Progress Party for once weren't complete fuckheads. I demand proof in English.

Indeed. Though, I hold meth and crack to be going to far.

Monarchy: check.
Oil: check.
Prostitution banned: check.
Muslim minister: check.
State religion: check.
Presence of terrorist: check.
English isn't the official language: check.
Not America: check.

OMG LET'S INVADE NORWAY AND TAKE THEIR OIL LIBERATE THEM!

I don't really think it's my place to decide that, so I just don't bother.

[Zaras]

I swear I just saw somebody post a pile of shit implying Breivik had a point, but it disappeared before I could reply to it! Either that was fast mod action, or a fast conscience.
