[ShUrkaSl]

[jkinabru]

Cheers to Iceland and Viggo..Thanks for posting

[popinfresh]

I need to add Iceland to my "places to go before I die" list :)

[ruellan2003]

he says it so right!

[jdmazz808]

has anyone heard of 60809? i stumbled on his site 60809.ca.... in doing some research i think he's from iceland.... brilliant groundbreaking new novelist.... i want to know more.

[Chiquitaquebecesa]

Am I the only one who noticed his shirt? Go Montreal Canadians! I love Viggo :)

[Desmond9100]

It is impossible to dislike or even hate Viggo

[eikifeiti]

@ampbear How does it undercut Iceland's claim to be enviromentally friendly and peaceful? We use green energy to heat and power our houses. No oil, gas or nuclear energy is used to do this and we are the most enviromentally friendly country in the world if we look at those factors. And peaceful? are we not peaceful because we hunt animals to eat or sell so others can eat like our mutual race has done for milleniums? is one of the few countries in the world with no army not peacful?

"Sometimes the worst the weather, the more beautiful it looks."

So true.

[yoshihawv]

This is a good description of a worship experience. But it should be toward God, rather than toward the physical earth.

[binnulingur]

@yoshihawv Why should it be towards something that is not proved to be real rather than to something that is real, in front of you and beautiful?

[TheIcelandicPatriot]

@yoshihawv Iceland has walked away from the middleages. We love our planet, our home. We love our people.

We care not for some imaginary beeing that has taken the lives of millions for nothing.

[pompei1968]

@yoshihawv who the fuck is god?

[Shamaroth]

You're not going to change ampbear's mind. The best that can be achieved by arguing with him is to avoid others falling into the same logical fallacies (such as that Iceland is hunting endangered whales, which is wrong).

Also, minke whales are extremely delicious. That's reason enough to hunt them, given that the northern minke stock isn't endangered at all. In fact it's ranked as "Least Concern" on the Conservation Status scale.

[Mrlifto1000]

alright. the other cool thing: montreal canadiens t-shirt!

[opolopp]

@Mrlifto1000 hehe, totally! :):):)

[tigerborn62]

He is so beautiful. And so is Iceland.

[Trains2007]

Icelanders have no moral, what so ever.

Apart from being inbred sheep-shaggers they have the highest rate of fags in the world.

Even their prime minister Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir is s fag.

[Siggner]

@Trains2007 Hahahaha your funny :)

[einarsick]

@Trains2007 dont judge a nation for one human that lives in it we do not judge normal.

Real icelanders live a good life whit family and friends where you ome form doesnt matter so sir i respect that you can write something on the internet but just think about whos the asshole that cant keep up the modern life

[8411184]

@Trains2007 no hear is the list

1- United state (American).

2- United kingdom.

3- china.

4- Germany.

[KamillaRud]

@Trains2007 What the Fu*k is wrong with being gay? You small minded asshole (no disregard meant to assholes)

[JoachimderZweite]

Iceland seems like heaven to me.

[FluffinMyMuffin]

@JoachimderZweite live her for 1 year, like a frozen hell... to fucking cold, too much snow, but in the summer this country is heaven, sun is 22/7 the night sun is awesome.. I'm Icelandic and proud of it!

[JoachimderZweite]

@FluffinMyMuffin You should be proud to be Icelandic. You have a great litterature and culture and you are all so beautiful and blonde. Do the ancestors of Mord Fiddle still live east of the Rangriver Plains? :-) Try to protect your heritage from American culture and the Eastern invasion.

[ilovezcheeze]

@JoachimderZweite- not that I'm a nationalist. but I like the: Try to protect your heritage from American culture and the Eastern invasion part d:

[GummiiHammer]

I'm inspired by iceland :D

[Grabar100]

Did you notice the logo on his sweater... GO HABS GO!!! By the way I want to visit Iceland :)

[ampbear]

Killing rare and endangered species destroys the balance of nature. Nature gets along fine without human intervention. Those of us who truly care about the whales, wildlife, and the environment support a boycott of tourism to Iceland and a boycott of fish products from Iceland.

[reyndeer]

@ampbear lol, not true. Humans are animals too, where do we come in in your twisted hippie mind? Mass amount of increase in numbers of certain animal species always has consequences, the whales themselves are even responsible, for they eat too much and disrupt this "balance"

[ampbear]

@reyndeer Your ignorance is astounding. You blame whales for eating fish! Humans have driven entire species to extinction, not whales. Humans are destroying the environment, not whales. Killing whales and other endangered species destroys the balance of nature.

[reyndeer]

@ampbear Dumbass, i did not once mention that whales are killing the environment. I was saying that any species, including humans, in increased numbers can cause a disruption of balance of numbers of other species. And how the fuck do you know whether one species has eliminated another, other than human? humans have not found half of all species living on this planet.

[zuubermann]

@ampbear Im pretty sure you are also a human so shut the fuck up

[abcd09618]

@ampbear so are we the only nation that is doing harm to nature by hunting amazingly small amounts of whale and having our fish hunting numbers in balance ?

[ampbear]

Iceland may be beautiful but the defiance by Iceland of the international ban on killing whales is ugly. It undercuts Iceland's claims to be enviromentally friendly and peaceful. As long as the killing of whales continues I won't be visiting Iceland and I urge every one who cares about the environment and who opposes unnecessary cruelty to boycott Iceland.

[runirokk]

@ampbear Icelanders do not wage war on other nations, killing millions, we have not stripped our natural resources nor are we in the process of doing so. You object this harshly to a nation wanting to maintain balance in nature? Balance means fishing equally from different species in the oceans. The ocean envelopes our country and is the source of our way of life. The fate of the ocean should be in the hands of those that rely on it. Life in the oceans is OUR responsibility and we know it.

[janar17]

@runirokk

word up!

[RinEdition]

@runirokk dude. Your country happens to be LOADED with natural resources. We can't all heat our streets. And secondly, don't put other countries down, because it's NOT my decision whether my country wages war. It's NOT my decision to have US factories produce pollution either. Just saying!

[IceGuyProd]

@ampbear People have watched too many free willy movies. We have so many whales that they are eating up a lot of the fish. We are so small that even if we tried we wouldn't be able to make them extinct. We are hunting like a 100 a year out of 100.000 whales.

[ilovezcheeze]

@IceGuyProd + the government in iceland as far as I know, has put a limit on whale hunting..

[IceGuyProd]

@ilovezcheeze Yes Icelanders are known for fishing in a responsible way and the same thing goes for whaling. We have always been strict on how much you can hunt. The European Union for example are overfishing many types of fish and then have the nerve to judge us.

[Ruslakall]

@ampbear Whales are just big fish, ffs!

[zuubermann]

@

Smelly, aging, tree hugging, hippie liberal douche...

[tristanaros]

@ampbear haha people keep one amazing me on how stupid one can be, you for example. haha.
