    One of the greatest groups would be Iranians. You are generally well educated and driven to educate yourself more and work yourself up. You aren't satisfied with being the taxi driver like quite many seem to be. One percent of Sweden's population is Iranian, that is quite a bit when you think of it

    Thanks for that Olof
    Yea, Sweden is one of the favorite destinations for young Iranian immigrants, mainly because people are immigrating to continue their University studies, and Sweden is a great place for that, specially cost-wise! And yep, we are definitely not satisfied with being the taxi driver, why immigrate if you are going to be a taxi driver

    Anyway, I'm getting off topic here!!
    What you are saying is true, your country is a great destination for us, even I am considering it for my PhD! But stuff like this and sites like that scare me. When I see many comments talking about showing your hate to ANY muslim man you see on the streets...that scares me. Do these people realize there is no difference between this and how racists act towards a certain race? No difference between this and how the Nazis acted about Jews?
  2. Most of those people probably just talk though. But sure, it is scary that it feels like some kind of world-wide conflict between the west and "the muslims" could be coming. (And be doom for mankind.) Hatred is on both sides. Humans have a natural instinct to be afraid of "different". But I'd say there's loads of understanding on both sides as well. You must realize that those people don't represent Sweden well at all.

    Well, for many people being a taxi driver in Sweden is probably a fantastic option.
  3. If you come to Sweden I'd hope to meet you.

    Of course they don't represent Sweden. Such radicals can be found in any country and religion, and this is my whole point: Do not judge a country/race/religion by looking at their radicals.
    There is loads of understanding on both sides, I just hope it reaches enough people in time to stop something catastrophic.

    (You're right about Taxi driving being a fantastic option for many, but Iranians don't see it like that. Iranians traditionally take pride in their education and job, it is very important for them, so if they go through the trouble of leaving their country and moving to some other country, they won't be satisfied with being a driver. and I'll look you up if I go there )
  5. And that's why you are great immigrants, you make good additions to the workforce and are not hard to integrate in our society like those that come with very little education. I'd say Swedes and Iranians may be quite similar.
  6. Originally posted by Buttons:Some people kill because they have an evil sick mind,some because of self defense or pain from a love that hurt,despite what the reason,punishment should be enforced,but not death.
    I think humans make lousy judges for humans and death does not teach one who may have come from a deprived background any different,and people can change,imprisonment is fair enough.
    I dont mind paying taxes to know that one is scarred for life for what they had done to somebodies love one,because the scars they created in ones mind has put them to death over and over again,which is worse than death,it like a dead man walking,which I have felt plenty a time.


    What about the people who risk their lives guarding them in prison? My dad worked at a prison and watched 4 friends die because imprisonment is not enough. I have been to 2 funerals because imprisonment is not enough. You're saying that when someone is murdered, the murderer is scarred for life? Are you sure the murderer even cares? If they cared, many would not have committed the murder in the first place.....
  7. Originally posted by Buttons:Does not one hold the bible up in court?
    So if he does so in court and is convicted to death
    the bible says wages sin pays is death, so the person
    is free'd by death, instead of being judged and punnished properly.
    If the 11 year old girl was mine, sure I would think death out of anger
    but not if it releases them from real punnishment,even sick people take death for the easy way out, worse when the bible in court says,your aquitted from sin when you die before everything.



    When the Bible says the wages of sin is death, it means eternal death - separation from God in hell. It is not about the death of the physical body.

    you're tempting me to choose Sweden
  9. No I believe your misunderstood read Romans 6;23 Excersising faith in Jesus Ransom sacrifice gives everlasting life which is the gift. It is physical. Ezekiel 18;4 Soul is the body example Revelation 16;3
    And read this Romans 5;12-(21)
    Romans 5;21
    ((Romans 6;7))
    Luke 23;39-43 And he was a sinner.
    Ecclesiastes 9;5,-(10)


  10. The only decent candidate.



    Since you don't have a job you're also burden to the taxpayers, but nobody will try to kill you because of that. Killing someone as a punishment is just barbaric. Communists used to do it a lot, you know.
  11. Spanish' risk premium is over 500 points now, and debt interests are slightly over 6,5%. Bailout might be around the corner.

    *goes off to Ryanair in search for cheap flights to Germany*
  12. Just a ticket wont do

    Might be the end of the euro. It's a shame.
