Because it would look too much like the Danish flag otherwise...

funny thing about coffee since it is a diuretic, is that once it has caused you to loose water in your body, the worst thing when its cold, is actually dehydration... people think that you must be in the desert where there is hot and no water for it to be the first priority.. but no.. ice and snow is actually a temporary desert.. and your cells does not insulate your body when they are deflated. when a cell is deflated it looses its insulation value by the magnitude of its size, so that means if the cell is 50% as thick, it insulates 50% less then if it is 100%. And its easily explainable, imagine the water is a jacket... now you can wear a nice fluffy jacket that insulates well... but if you put on a jacket thats half as fluffy with the same material.. it will not insulate as much... sounds like a no brainer right? High volume, but low mass = insulating properties.

Not in a bad way, but it was quite surreal for us. You instantly noticed the loud new York tourists. 😆 It was also funny when they asked "how are you doing" all the time, because that's not used as a greeting in Norway. If you ask that here, people answer you sincerely, just like my mother did to the poor cashier. 😅 A few years back, me and some friends drove around Tennessee. We stumbled on a small town church gathering. I asked what was going on, and suddenly we were invited to eat first and have a seat at their main picnic table. Like wow, that escalated quickly. When I was in Tehran in 2006, we were strolling through the main cemetery. It's pretty common. Out of nowhere, we were surrounded by a host of generous mothers who gave us cakes of all sorts. It was nice, but I had no idea what they said. Also, both in Bulgaria, Thailand and Santa Monica, I've been asked to join to play football with complete strangers when there's a language barrier. It's all cool, but extraordinary. You'd be locked up in an asylum if you tried to do any of that in Norway. 🤣

It's only if neither of the parents are capable of taking care of the child or if they suspect the childs life is in danger.

Ok, so the case is of family Michálák. School reported the kids were abused in that worst way possible. Well, police investigated and said nope, didn't happen. But the Barnevernet kept the kids, now, straight from English wiki ,, The mother could see her sons twice a year for fifteen minutes. She has however lost her parental rights to both children in 2015, since then she has no right to see them at all. The organization justified its decision among other things by too high media coverage of the case and that the children became accustomed to the foster parents. Boys Denis and David Michalák were placed to different foster families, so they can not speak Czech anymore, they can not meet each other and are forced to forget their Czech background and roots. In January 2020 the Czech District Court in Hodonín formally commit to care both sons to mother although they are kept in hidden places in Norway and information about them are kept as a secret also for the Czech state.'' The kids were taken in 2011,brothers shipped to 2 different families, made to forget their Czech roots and mother language. Mate, the kids were kept despite there being no criminal abuse, even Norwegian police was advocating for their return. I don't think I stretched anything mate. The organization has no oversight. Jesus, this is just wrong mate. Btw, since text doesn't correctly transfer subtext, etc, I am not blaming you. Just the situation is soooooo wrong. P. S.

I can't really seem to find any information on the case from Barnevernets persepective though, which I will admit is odd. There was another controversial "kidnapping" of a child here in Norway though that later was proven to be completely justified because the mother was completely incapable of taking care of the child. I will admit I don't know enough about the cases to justify it, but it's a hard situation when you think about it, because there are so many kids who are struggling in their houses because of incapable/violent parents, so in one way you could say taking them is to protect them. But I can also understand why people wouldn't want the government being able to take children away from their parents, that does seem quite tyrannical..

@@Activated62 Ok, mate, non instantaneous text communication is not perfect, in any case, I understand that the idea is for protecting of children, but remember, no bad guy in history told himself "yeah, I am doing evil things because I am evil." All of them were pursing greater good, noble goals, etc. That organization is on a f ing power trip. Now, I would like to thank you for your time and civil discussion. This is rather rare these days. If you find anything more about that case etc, feel free to share it. 😉

I live in Ontario, Canada. If ya want beer then you go to the beer store to get anything above a sixer. If ya want hard stuff or just a sixer ya go to what is called the lickbo. Or technically the LCBO. It’s called the liquor control board of Ontario. And if you want wine there’s a place called the wine rack. And for the last year or so you can get sixers at the grocery store.

Norway has one of the highest ratios of gun per citizen actually, but you're right that having it for self-defense is not a legitimate reason there. Not every country want guns accessible to any nutjob that lives there, I don't think that's too bad.

The amount of murder per 100 000 is literally 13 times more in the US. I'd rather not have a gun and have very little crime.

When you go hiking in Norway when you see people you can just say hi

Well. Basically the whole frozen movie is based on Norway, and the sami isn't just in Norway.

Norway sounds like a good place to live.

I’m Norwegian and our flag stands for Water, Blood and peace btw.😅

We actually have a new record to. Norway now has the longest bike tunnel to

So the red on our flags stands for the evening sun and the blue stands for all the glaciers we have in Norway and the white stands for the snow🇳🇴🇳🇴

A cool fact by grant granpa was one of the people that build it

The reason for us being more friendly on hikes is so if you get lost, at least someone know where you were headed.

Hi from Ireland. Am I correct, I think I remember seeing on Irish news that your government gave substantial grants for EV? We have something similar here, but the issue is with charging points in public, I live in a rural area & would love one, but practically speaking, it wouldn't work. I'd love to visit Norway sometime, after all many of us Irish have Danish & Norwegian dna. Also, I saw your Eurovision entry tonight. It's great you qualified.
