Iceland transport minister in a blue lagoon - Clarkson's Motorworld - BBC cars

[Ingosibbason]

Im from iceland and i dont know this guy

[nadiya1is1here]

ewwww what are those tubes doing there???!!

[ThePiepotato]

Im from iceland and ive never went to the Blue lagoon :P

[willghass]

I'm an American and I went there!

[batmanofni]

That is such a gorgeous lagoon, it's so nice to swim around. Just don't stand up, because it's bloody freezing.

[TheCROZZER]

@batmanofni Indeed it is , however when you stay in it tooo long , It's very hot so then you do have to stand up.

But it's very very nice there.

[burton76]

Iceland is one of the most amazing countries on earth, loved every minute of my visit and hope to return soon. Can't get the hang of the language though dammit!

[mehd1i]

LOVE TOPGEAR :)

[marcoffs95]

How's it going with the volcano bombing half of your country? XD

[anna1108962559]

@marcoffs95 the volcano has stopped for now it might turn back on but people think it has completely stopped :) aaaand it is not bombing half of our country just a smal part of it ;)

[Dune1884]

The blue lagoon is awesome ! the mud and the water does wonders to your skin ! was there a few years ago. amazing country !

[rock3tcat]

Iceland looks like a wonderful place to be, everything looks so pure and simple... :D

[daz99uk5]

omg I wanna visit that place

[IcelandicActor]

im there every day =) my mom is one of the peoble that owns it...so i can get a free NATURE HEALING <3 im from iceland and y name is Birkir like the biggest tree here =) and last name Smárason

[pahico]

no, we're just slightly less rich.

[JUNKGEE83]

BULLSHIT! all of scandinavia have given you billlions because you are slightly less rich? Norway is slightly less rich, you're the new Africa.

[pahico]

No, precisely because some continental Scandinavians have given us millions, we are not poor.

In fact, even if they wouldn't have helped us, we still wouldn't be poor, and per capita be far richer than any African nation, and per capita still be one of the richest nation on this earth.

Icelanders also have (slightly) better standards of living than you Dutch.

Do not argue with me and my nationality, because I will prove you wrong.

We are not poor, and we are not in Africa.

[pahico]

Woah I sounded really serious

[alexi626]

The Blue Lagoon is my favorite place on Earth. :) Anyone else been?

[EmsiGemsi]

There is nothing funny about that, alot of people are broke and have no jobs.

[gidga1]

i went thier

[yuizakisakura]

being a minister in Iceland is not much different from working for a town centre or something. hardly anyone lives there :p

[kaa3164]

there's not much difference from living in the ''capital area'' and an average country in Europe f.x.

when you have reached 350000 people there isn't much change in raising it to about a million.

Iceland also has the 4. lowest count of people every square Km. about 1/3 of the countries population lives not more than 15 minutes from the capital.

[steorn]

What the music? Sounds like Coil.

[kettir123]

There could be a reason why there isnt everyone nice to americans, but you are fine. I'm from Iceland, and you can be a tiny little bit stupid (there are not whales in lakes, Þingvallavatn is a lake, not a ocean like some guys from national Geographic thought).

[fairwhitephantom]

It's not "stupid" to have misconceptions about Iceland if one has never been there. It's ignorant, but not "stupid." When you stated that Americans "can be a tiny little bit stupid," you generalize about 300 million very diverse people across a continent from east to west.

[ablair37]

@kettir123 america couldnt point to any where on a map that isnt america

[emoservedwithfries]

@ablair37 I am American, and I could point to anywhere you wanted on the map. Most Americans are not stupid, despite the generalized stereo type other countries have given us.

Pps: If your going to mock someone for being stupid, make sure you cap, punctuate, and spell words correctly before sending the post. Unless you want to you make your self look more stupid the the person your mocking.

[ZyZy1234Windowslive]

@kettir123 are you from Iceland?

[infnty]

are there any sites, forums, discussion boards about politics, social sphere, economics, etc across the internet where you would be able to express your mind and feelings concerning to that.. is it necessary to do this on youtube? and especially under the video from "Top Gear", which is a motoring show.. no offence, but you folks are possessed :)

[Timmy4pawz]

Yes, there's /b/ for that xD

[MultimediaJay]

That geothermal pool looks pretty cool. :-) (+200 Irony Points =D)

[Keepupgoodworkkk1]

I've been in that pool. its freaking good. When that cold air chills your back and you go into the 40 celcius hot water :D visit iceland!

[elysiaaisyle]

that blue lagoon looks cool, unfortunately Clarkson's hair isn't :p

[xxdizaaxx]

me 2!! :D from Iceland i mean..

[xxdizaaxx]

me 2 !! ;D

[steorn]

What's the music? Aphex Twin?

[abollore]

Clarkson's haircut is top notch

[lictor313]

Icelandic women are so beautiful, hopefully they'll never "multiculturalise"

[happymantis]

they most likely will... and what can you do to stop it?

Amazing how you can spot your types from a mile away.

[lictor313]

and do you think that the disappearance of the peculiarity of the icelandic peoples is a good thing? Why do you suppose their genocide and disappearance in a mass of brownish savage anthropoids will be a boost for the world?

I can spot a left wing dunderhead from a mile away...

[happymantis]

I'm no left wing dunderhead (whatever that means...), I'm rather center-right, if you please, I do not condone the "genocide and disappearance" of any people, I however, do not believe that just being white entitles one to beauty and whatever else it is you think skin color denotes. If you haven't noticed, the entire nation of Iceland is bankrupt, and also... did you notice the savage anthopoids in India, China, and Brazil have become poised to become mighty powers within the next half century?

[lictor313]

eye color, type and color of hair, facial structure are largely dictated by heredity and race.

And multiracialising and enforced integration will of course displace the original stock to swap it with already billion strong Hindu, Chinese or Black... Whites are a minority on the globe... Icelandic people even more of a minority. Why do you want to see a change in their racial character? Why would you seek to breed them into extinction?

[lictor313]

China is of course seeking "imperium" they arent addled with deranged liberal superstitions about "the equality of man" and similar pish posh. Furthermore they are still virile and proud. as is india (whos contempt for us is so dramatic: that they panhandle for their street children to us while they maintain a space program and nuclear missiles.

Still though if we do not at least protect what is left off our ill-starred people? WHO WILL?

[happymantis]

Why wouldn't they be contemptuous? Clearly you are unfamiliar with world history... and who is going to protect the white race? themselves... just the way every other person in this world looks out for their own needs and interests. I'm a proud Indian-American btw... its nice to see your kind seethe with rage as the their beliefs collapse around them...

[lictor313]

exactly... why WOULDN'T they be contemptuous of a race so fatuous and imbecile that it refuses to protect its own people, that it compels its young girls to copulate with diseased denizens of the third world, a race so stupid that it taxes itslef to nourish its enemies , a race so imbecile and lost to manhood that they preach internationalism and togetherness in a world of hostility. A race taht admits, educates and a trains their would be executioners. such a race is not worth consideration

[happymantis]

that's cute... Indian people are of many, many different ethnic groups, languages, religions, and many other differentiating features... there simply is no Indian race, merely a nationality. I acknowledge that India has its fair share of issues, but so does every nation on Earth... (think of that Austrian chap who held his daughter captive and had 17 children with his poor child, I wouldn't judge Austrians and whites for that)... I wish you wouldn't come to such dire conclusions.

[happymantis]

And for all the faults you have raised with the Indian race... we somehow miraculously have come up with an economy growing at a clip of 10.5% a year, coming up with truly multinational firms that have bought up troubled European firms like Land Rover and Jaguar... not bad for a race as diseased you think we are... :P

cheers, have a happy new years... we sure will.

[lictor313]

Its easy to have a flourishing economy when you have a slave class of 600 million people. And my Audi a6 I learned was assembled in india... Dyou ever see work conditions in TaTA auto industries?

yeah your proud of that arent you?

[happymantis]

no, I can't say that I am proud of the work conditions in India... just how working conditions were rather bad in the United States and Europe earlier on the 19th and 20th century... just look up the labor movement in the states and Europe and you'll see what I'm talking about... 10 year olds in textile mills... point being that bad labor conditions exist in areas of cheap labor, its an economic inevitability... simple economics my good man.

[lictor313]

funny how europeans and americans emerged out of that terrible period without the help of a mommy state (like the US) ordained to SOCIALIZE the world. yet the solution for india seems to be more AID from white tax paying animals in the US. (how much aid we gave Krishnamenon again in the 60<s?

But we are white? isnt it our destiny to give to third worlders a boost and AID and the fruits of our technology and knowhow for future use against us? as you gleefully predict?

[happymantis]

hmm.. based on aid? Brazil, India, and China's economics have risen on the basis of the export of services and goods (the Chinese focus more on manufactured goods, while India and Brazil specialize in more value-added goods and services like finance and outsourcing) to prop up their economies. The aid the United States provided was useful in the sixties, especially in closed economy India operated in at the time, but most of India, China's and Brazil's new growth occurred due to privatization.

[lictor313]

hmmm yes bring up one austrian cook... and you are so nice as to not judge all whites...

however what is a good egalitarian supposed to think about the caste system? and what of the Dalits?

India was an indo aryan civilization when it was sanskrit... I read the little clay cart or Mrrchikitika by Revilo P Oliver. There there is ample discussion of a race of fair skinned green eyed indians who were mixed with a mass of brutish and dark mongrels from Ceylon.

[happymantis]

A good egalitarian is supposed to oppose the caste system, just the way they are supposed to any form of race-based judgments...

And please, dark and brutish mongrels? atleast try to phrase your arguments with more tact... even with the "misfortune" of miscegenation, how is it exactly that the nation of somehow thriving, instead of collapsing into an African-style hellhole as your beliefs would lead you to expect? what exactly is holding the nation together in a rather peaceful environment?

[lictor313]

to the 600 million hindus and dalits who live like animals on less then a dollar a day: notice that thats precisely the standard of african style hellholes...

[happymantis]

and yet, no civil wars, hardly any of the conditions that has driven business from Africa, Latin America and Eastern Europe (the latter two have benefited from increased stability over the past decade or so)... so what exactly is your point? This country that you marked off for being a nation of a billion brown souls is increasing its stature in the world, defying exactly what you ilk have predicted based on your faulty logic... convince me otherwise, please.

[lictor313]

no civil wars? are you this ignorant of recent european and american history?

[lictor313]

yes the billion strong brown country is growing in size and strength... does might always make right... as hundreds of millions suffer and live under a state of abject servitude you'll forgive my lack of enthusiasm about its potential to bring democracy, social justice and stability to the future.

Our ilk predicted a future of mindless mongrels ruled by a super elite class (free masons, jews, bankers, industrialists) etc... this is precisely what has taken place...

[happymantis]

What exactly are you referring to when you say super elite class? Jews? don't hate on them because they tend to have good work ethic (which made them a target of hatred by your ilk, especially during the late thirties in Germany... see where that went? Bankers? Industrialists? you mean the same group of people who being blamed by the public at large for the current financial crisis? This hardly sounds like a well-put together cabal you see it... and why the opposition to india? what about China?

[happymantis]

Jeez, as someone who praised the autocratic state of China for not having liberal elements ruling their politics, you sure to whine a lot about a "super elite class"... kinda like the Chinese Communist Party's politburo... once again, I expected some form of consistency from you, stop disappointing me!

[lictor313]

good work ethic? financing wars and revolutions (often on both sides) and deceiving their supposed allies? We should certainly be allowed to curse them, but I admit that we better take a good hard look at the weakness in ourselves that made their dominance possible...

and how does this cabal seem implausible? they are after all tanking the US economy to eradicate the US dollar: replace it with the AMERo to further globalize their global plantation... seems like quite the perfect cabal to me..

[lictor313]

our treasonous governments are always seeking ways to injure or harm our people in every conceivable way. Thats because they want to replace us with docile third worlders. The US will be majority non white before the end of the next 40 years. Who knows what the future will hold for us then? 40% of europe will be mid easterner in 2060. What do you think that will do to us? Despite our incomparable civilization, creative technology, heroic past and beautiful art: we will go under.

[happymantis]

The treasonous governments that you talk of were elected by your own people, most of whom are still white, btw. The same goes for the people of the United States (does it bother you that the most powerful man in the world is a savage anthopoid, and was elected into office with a distinct margin?) As for India, yes poverty still exists, but its clearly on the way out as India's economy hires more people... rising in stature in an economic system dominated by the West... ironic isn't it?

[lictor313]

so? who pics the candidates? the mass media... if anyone tried with fervor to address forthrightly the problems I have named, they would be howled out y the media and probably arrested for hate speech.

Clearly you must be delusional if you think this government is OF and BY the people. The US has an ochlocracy, which for some reason is called a democracy. Americans are given the choice between candidates taht superficially differ. its much closer to soviet democracy then REAL democracy.

[lictor313]

US elections always fall victim to proletarian knavery. Recent studies made about the quality of the US electorate revealed that no more then 9% of americans believed in darwinian evolution... and 43% believed the world is only a few thousand years old. 87% couldnt name the respective congressman from their state, 37% did not know the third amendment.

that these people have a say in policy craft is simply suicidal .

[lictor313]

Obama is the symbol of the national madness of america. They would vote for their own destruction just for the sake of being fashionable and egalitarian...

after all Obambo was elected thanks to his skin color NOT regardless of it... how white americans have been taught to hate themselves!

[happymantis]

really? a symbol of national madness? fashionable? Indeed, americans are proud of their new president... but also, remember the effects of the disastrous Iraqi invasion had a pivotal role in the toppling of the Republicans... many more would have voted McCain(even me),if he hadn't chosen such a right wing nut job like Palin... and what is all this about white Americans hating themselves? there were plenty of whites proudly and vocally supporting mcCain and Palin, many with views like you.

[lictor313]

no McCain has a bangladeshi daughter, and is FOR amnesty for illegals... is about as racially conscious as Obama...

the people cheering for mccain and that idiot palin where the knves and idiot I was alluding to before... who either don tknow the position of the candidates or religious evangelicals... none of which share my position...

[happymantis]

I assume the position you're for is the same as the same men who wanted to assassinate Obama while wearing white tuxedos in a moving car?

Neo-Nazis with magical CGI abilities? I thought you were smarter than that!

[lictor313]

not at all, an assasination would be a catastrophy for white americans... we would NEVER hear the end of it,...

no the best possible thing is to allow socialist tax happy Obama a full presidency in this recession... that will do wonders to awaken white people to the world they have made for themselves.

[lictor313]

btw those assassination rumors where started by Obama supporters to boost his support... as is common in media lies.

[happymantis]

Media lies? really? I hardly doubt in our market economies that the media would actually lie... I do believe that they use alarmist tactics... but that's only a outset of their market role... higher ratings from more viewers equal advertising revenue, but I doubt that they would actually lie... remember CBS news had Dan Rather retire because he reported on a story that had bad sources? People would notice if the media lied... everyone has issues with the media, libs with fox, repubs with cnn..

[ahmedutzu]

lol, I want a similar job as this minister.

[infnty]

[Tse33333]

=]

but wheres your heart

[jhonnyunknown]

so what exactly is a blue lagoon? is it like a hotspring or something?

[todalou]

i think this lagoon is something i read in a science magasine and i saw it on the news. A geothermal plant right outside of there works super well because its a hotspot for energy. if u dont know what that is, its just a plant that pumps water into the earth and steam comes back up and spins a turbine. extra steams is released tho and they just made it into a hotwater spring b/c the water is mineral rich. XD

[jhonnyunknown]

WAY MORE THAN I NEEDED TO KNOW! but thanks!

[XeroSean]

its pretty much a huge hot spring.

[TheCarrotIsHere]

basically there are these natural hot springs and this one has been made into a big spa thingy.

I went there !! :D

[kettir123]

[wimpie25]

Never been to its capital then? its quite big and has alot of numbered freeways around it.

[kettir123]

Oh yes they do, you just didnt ask!

[MiggyJiggy]

Iceland being an 'informal' country is probably the reason they are almost not a country anymore!

[isilder]

want to be there when the Iceland University netball team visits.

[AUSSIEgunfreak]

its an awsome place but not a bloody travel show, its top gear! so thats pretty pointless and stupid

[j4zock]

I know, just saying that I think the gin is starting to catch up to him.

[Alucardcr7]

Iceland is a small country with a small population. 100 cars a day is common.
