Polonia / Let's talk about Sweden and other Scandinavian countries [197]


"Shadow" minister of justice, you should read up what that means. Violence by migrants is always a good topic for election campaigns, no matter how dire the situation truly is, and as pointed out, Sweden is not doing worse than most European countries.


I don't doubt that there are places in Sweden that are problematic, but you have such places in every country without them being indicative of the entire country. As pointed out, Sweden is overall a safe place for women which anyone who actually has been to Sweden could verify.

Polonia / Let's talk about Sweden and other Scandinavian countries [197]

This article explains the situation Sweden and why Richs' depiction of it as a rape capital is completely ridiculous.

In short, using the rape definition of other countries, the number or rapes reported in Sweden is thr European average.

Crime studies have also found no significant link between the arrival of refugees and the increase of rape reports.

Yet both of them will factor into her legacy. Germany has had fewer deaths than any other mayor Western democracy relative to its' population and especially considering it borders so many countries.

The Covid pandemic dwarves anything that happened in the last decades. It is going to be the crucial issue current politicians will be judged on. The migrant crisis is completely inconsequential compared to this.

If you want to blame Merkel for every death caused by her refugee policy, you'll also have to give her credit for every life saved by her Covid response. Maybe someone like Johnson or Trump would have closed the borders, but leaving the potential for political instability in Southern Europe and the Balkans aside, their bunglings would have seen the death toll due to Corona in Germany at least double in size.

A few lifes compared to tens of thousands are a small price indeed.

She has every right to be. Tens of thousands of Germans are still alive thanks to her leadership.

Good to know that the Czech authorities are taking Covid seriously, considering how many people have already died there.

That sounds about right.

News / European News and Poland Thread 2 [618]

I came across Piers Morgan a few months ago in a video in which he made a British minister squirm about his incompetent handling of the pandemie. Since then I enjoyed watching him call out the British government and there were other issues on which he had a point. Even when I disagreed with him he usually made coherent argument. However it is really difficult to defend him on the Meghan debacle and I say this as someone who doesn't care for her or the monarchy. He made again some good points, however on a closer inspection it becomes apparant that he has a personal vendetta against her. He openly says so. The reason for this vendetta seems to be nothing but hsi own pride. He always cites his own experience with her as a reason why distrusts her: Apparantly they texted each other and met at a bar once for a few hours and since then she never xontacted her again. I mean seriously, that is his reason to distrust her? He says they were friends and than she "ghosted" him. I am sorry, but calling each other friends after one meeting is stretching and we have also no idea how the meeting went. Perhaps Meghan felt uncomfortably or simply did not like him, either way she hardly has to justify her decision to not keep in touch with every person she briefly met. If he had focused on his other criticism it would have been perfectly fine, but he had to make himself look like a spurned ex-admirer or her.


Yeah, it certainly looks that way. It is all good and well to make your point and defend it, but that seems really excessive.

A question I would ask myself is how big your differences really are and how they affect your daily life. Because what you have written here sounds mostly like stereotypes she may have, which you might also find if you marry another foreign woman.

Love / She's muslim and I am christian, will it ever work? Has anyone had similar experiences [63]


That does sound like a fair solution.

Love / She's muslim and I am christian, will it ever work? Has anyone had similar experiences [63]

I had a muslim gf for two years and while it did not work out, that was due to reasons unrelated to our religions. What you habe to make sure is to set the expectations accordingly. If you are religious and have no intention to convert, make sure to tell her that and also make it clear that you dont want to be bothered by her family about this. Make sure that you don't have any secret resentments. Are you fine with not marrying in a church, or is this something you deeply regret? Because that is something that might come up later during an argument.

As for your "friends", I wouldnt worry too much about them especially if they have never met her.
