German engineering, bitches!

(Developed in Denmark, built in South Korea -- d'oh!)

Well, I think they're trying to shit on the very idea of guns existing because they're bad, m'kaay?...and maybe that Denmark might be kinna full of out-of-touch snow-monkeys who only see the reality of the planet through ice-crystallized glasses, and that kinna makes their film industry pretty dull, m'kaaaay?? ??

It's a storm troopers in the Justice League of Denmark.

In all humility, I can honestly say that Justice League of Denmark is the greatest collection of atoms in the history of the universe.

Glad you liked it. Give LeAnne my best.

Thank you for the package! Justice League of Denmark will be a grand adventure!

Nah - was thinking more about countries and cultures - in Norway (and Denmark, for that matter), the local f-words are much more common and "acceptable" than the english ones in the english culture. One single "f-bomb" is enough for several to mark a video as NSFW - in Scandinavia the corresponding swear words wouldn't make anyone bat an eyelid..

I've only been in an indoor version of this here in Denmark. Though I did once take a dip while helping another person out of a creek in Montana. There was nothing enjoyable about that. Cold temperatures + heavy clothes takes away all the fun.

Well, it's definitely danish, but there's no TV2 or DR mark, so it's not actually on TV. The motion of the car is also suspicious.

It's made to look like the morning news from TV2 Denmark - same bars and colors.

Not to be treated as objects. Making it so women are unable to expose or do whatever you want with their own bodies is a sign of treating them as an object. The fact that they are getting such a strong reaction just for showing their breast says something about the surrounding culture. If some women were to do this in Denmark it wouldn't be a big deal. Once again, saying something about the surrounding culture.

They also mentioned how domestic abuse is rampant in their country. Past that I don't know. I agree that they should have a more clear and articulate message but I didn't only take away that it was only about generic female equality.

This is one unit as defined in the UK. In Denmark (and Scandinavia in general), the same limits were recommended in public health announcements, although "one unit" of alcohol in Scandinavia is 15.2ml - about one and a half times as the unit defined in the UK (10ml).

@chilaxe OK now I follow you.

When you evaluate something like the "average level" of muslims in denmark and compare with those in the US, you have to account for the selection process that happens before they even decide to come here or there. It's much easier to get into Denmark, even considering the somewhat draconic immigration policies, than it is to get into the US. The US, at least used to, import people of high academic standing and somewhat accomplished people, which heightens that average level. And in general, since you are not close to muslim countries, it's simply more costly for any given family to get over there in the first place, which already, naturally if you will, selects higher level people to move over there.


The weapons issue does depend on numbers, but you must be careful not to look too shortsighted at them.

If people have ready access to concealed carry weapons, it would be easier for "bad guys" to get these weapons as well - just because there would be more guns in circulation. Guns can be stolen too, sold, lost etc.

If everyone has a gun on them, to take it to an extreme, some people would be made quite nervous by it, and they might even accidentally shoot someone if they thought they needed to defend themselves - everywhere would become like a slum, where you have to be super careful about going about your business.

If you carry a weapon, proper training is pretty important. The video above has the situation quite biased against the amateurs, but still they do show how little they can handle their weapons and the situation. It's not just a point and click interface as the games would have you believe.

Bar fights would/could end poorly.

Road rage incidents would/could end poorly.

Random people, say in protest rallies, would have an opportunity to shoot at people they disagreed with (imagine anti-nazi protests, people fucking hate those guys).

Bad incidents with cops might leave you with a cop down or you down, since the cops have to be even more careful since they're on the fringe of "dangerous territory" already - if everyone has guns, being a cop just got waay more dangerous.

My point is that you can't simply look at how many concealed weapons are used in robberies, violent crimes etc now, because there are indirect sources as well.


I don't want to remove weapons alltogether, I just want them better regulated, better controller and limited where they are not needed. In a civilized society, they are not needed.

@gwiz665

When I say Muslim-Americans average better than the White-American average, I mean they have higher academic scores, higher income, and lower crime.

We can see how specious many of the arguments about the US are when we apply them to Denmark: "The reason Danish Muslims underperform is because Danes oppress them."


I think this is an issue that depends on the numbers. Concealed carry weapons are rarely used in crimes, and likely save more lives in self-defense than the small number of lives they cost.
