Thanks for proving my point, Flint.
You proved exactly that you consider everyone with a different opinion than yours as stupid, unintelligent and whatnot. Hence my opinion that discussing in politics is pointless and when I have better things to do, like studying for university exams or working on my masterpaper, I use (what appears to be elitist) the privilege to spend my time on those. I thought it was rather generous of me to not keep that article for myself, as politics is about debating and that article could result in a nice one. Arguing my intelligence just shows you were ready to dismiss everything I would have said immediatly.

About your state of mind, I do applause a man who manages to recover from suicidal depressions. I never claimed otherwise, but don't claim that you're alone in such a situation. I lost several friends these last few years, of wich one committed suicide. So don't slap me with your superior number of years in this world, as I had at least quite a share of these mental issues you use.
But you can NOT use it as an allround excuse for every single thing you regret or anyone in this community holds against you. That is truely the insult you send out to other people who have or had a depression (a category I consider myself a part of)..

And finally about my politic views: I do support them and they're not parrotted from anyone else. My family and most of my friends have a completely different set of ideals than me. I've never had a strong unified political voice until a few years ago. I've done quite a lot of voluntary work in different aspects of it and saw some tragedies, great spirit and hope. I have studied economics for several years and although it was not as thorough as I wanted, I don't think one could claim I lack the knowledge to have a debate about it. I've drawn several conclusions from all this and found out it fits the european democratic socialist ideas rather well.
Claiming it's parrotted is ridiculous. It simply means you do exactly what you blame me for: not remembering the person's background and past.

And you actually wonder why I don't post in politics anymore?

I don't feel morally obliged to defend what I said in that thread Chris. I can't bring up the effort to try to close another gap that some people create by dismissing any other angle to look at things a priori.
I thought it was a nice thing a sociology professor proved my social and economic ideas. And that was what I wanted to say.
It was more than Flint ever accomplished; his closest case was his compression algorithm that's supposedly backed by "two math scientists". Yet that man uses every obligation to call me ignorant and stupid (oh sweet irony!).

Crystal Castles - Celestica

Final Fantasy usually is a good title, although the last one had a load of criticism over it..

Then why isn't it productive yet Flint?

Is nurse some sort of eufimism in your case Fokker?

Chinese cornsoup!

You're always free to ask in whatever country.. Responses might vary though.

Flint, you have no idea what you're talking about. Perhaps the idea of Sweden as the ultimate sex-country got stuck in your tiny corner of your country, but it's not true. In fact prostitution is forbidden in Sweden, but only the customer can get arrested.

Cause she won't get any answers there. There would be comments on how evil state funded health care is, and then Flint would drag Obama into it and it degrades into just another thread on how bad any leftist-ish idea is. And they'd ignore decent arguments and proof in the process.

And then we reach the final phase, wich is downright trolling and insulting.

A friend of mine went on Erasmus to Sweden, met someone and lives there now. I might get her in touch with you..
