As soon as one crab gets the smart Idea to climb out, another crab pulls it back in. 3)KEEP FOCUSED ON MAKING YOUR LIFE THEY WAY YOU WISH IT TO BE...this is said with refernce to point two above those noasty people are trying to hold you back as they don't know how to improve their own lives positively so they try to take others down. Enjoy Hey Stella,

I’m a Brit living in Denmark. I posted last as “Noname on June 23, 2009″.

Just to make sure you don’t get down about stuff I’d like to point out 2 things

1)People who have not thought about their countries history tend to behave narcissisticly and ignorently

2)People can be like crabs in a bucket. As soon as one crab gets the smart Idea to climb out, another crab pulls it back in.

3)KEEP FOCUSED ON MAKING YOUR LIFE THEY WAY YOU WISH IT TO BE…this is said with refernce to point two above those noasty people are trying to hold you back as they don’t know how to improve their own lives positively so they try to take others down.

Enjoy

There is little awareness of the fact that British people have settled abroad in large numbers. People in shops can be quite rude once they hear a foreign accent. Although in this country for 20 years, white and with virtually no foreign accent, I find myself incresingly threatened by hostile loooks or comments. In pubs, questions like: Have you come here at the back of a lorry? are not uncommon...And yes, it is very annoying to hear British people boasting of their supposed tolerant culture. Now it is more a question of being just about tolerated...

Denmark is "more" xenophobic than Britain, and the fact that the Danish Peoples Party is the third biggest political party, with 25% of the votes, in Denmark proves it. What about the fact that the Dansih Government often relies on the Danish Peoples Party to get a majority when it comes to voting on parliamentary bills in the Danish parliament? As a consequence, the Danish Government, and Denmark, has a xenophobic immigration policy (similar to that of the Danish Peoples Party) in order to maintain the support of the Danish Peoples Party. There is a price for everything, you know. The equivalent party to the Danish Peoples Party is the British Nationals Party (BNP), and they are NOT the third biggest party in the Britain. According to wikipdeia.org, the BNP received 0.7% of the popular vote, the eighth largest share. Also, the British Government does not need to rely on the support of the BNP. An interesting point is that the BNP say exactly what they mean (they believe in a whites only Britain). So you know what you are voting for when you vote BNP or any other party that relies on the BNP. The Danish Peoples Party seem to be "hiding" what they "really" want (they want what the BNP want, but for Denmark); or is that the Danish people have difficulty in seeing it. It not that difficult, you know. What about the Danish Peoples Party's candidate for EU parliament: Morten messerschmidt? Do we need to going into his singing of Nazi songs? Often the Dansih Peoples Party are compared to a bunch of Nazis. Does that then mean that any government that relies on a bunch Nazis, are a bunch Nazi sympathizers? What does that make the Governments supports? I'm just asking. Also, since significantly more people (and tourist) in the wolrd speak English rather than Danish, a tourist to Britain is more likey to get a "truer" picture of Britain than Denmark. This seems rational. There are nice people in both Denmark and Britain, and let's hope that they increase in number, and that WE ALL refuse to let political parties like the Danish Peoples Party, or the British Nationals Party narrowly define what it means to Danish or British. Peace, love, and unity I’ve been living and working in Denmark for several years now, and I’m from originally from the UK.

In this however, the USA would score as the less xenophobic. Countries that are very xenophobic are those that have very strict rules of immigration. If I may make a list from 1(the moste xenophobic) to 20 it would be 1. New-Zeeland, 2. Australia, 3. Canada, 4. Denmark, 5. Sweden, 6.Russia, 7.Germany, 8.The Netherlands, 9.France, 10.Italy, 11. Austria, 12 Luxembourg, 13. Lichtenstein, 14 Andorra, 15. Finland, 16. Norway, 17. Belgium, 18. Greenland, 19. Great Britain and although not rich 20. Bhutan.

]]> Comment on Global Temperature, Global Warming? by anoni http://kasperolsen.wordpress.com/2007/03/17/global-temperature-global-warming/#comment-19703 anoni Thu, 30 Apr 2009 09:19:14 +0000 http://kasperolsen.wordpress.com/2007/03/17/global-temperature-global-warming/#comment-19703 From a physical standpoint, the average is meaningless. Nothing functions according to the "global average temperature"; everything functions according to the local temps and only local temps. Your furnace thermostat doesn't work according to the average; you don't decide to put on a coat according to the average; plants don't grow according to the average. The average tells us nothing about what reality is. You can actually have 100 in Chicago and -100 in Antarctica on the same day and get an average of 0 or you can have both places reading 0 on the same day. In both cases, the average would be 0, which would tell you nothing about what the reality is/was. From a physical standpoint, the average is meaningless.
