@StoneyFT Fucking lying cunt. Then choose a time and place here and message me your phone number. What, you wanted to fight me in person and now you're shitting yourself? Pathetic loser.
So many people bike in Denmark because they are raised by the communist establishment to be like that. They have the highest tax on vehicles and petrol in the world. They have the highest income tax in the world. The only thing Danish people can afford to do is to ride bikes in below freezing temperatures. All societies in the world raise people to support to established culture. Denmark is one of the most socialist/communist countries.
@RoederGaming Actually, yeah I do know what I'm talking about as I'm the only one speaking about facts. Everyone else has no proper counter argument only, "No you're wrong" or what you said.
@StoneyFT Wow, you are a fucking idiot. You do know that there are no scientific evidence to support human contribution to "global warming", right? CO2 is not a pollutant. CO2 is a colorless and odorless gas, exhaled at high concentrations by each of us, and a key component of the biosphere's life cycle. Plants do so much better with more CO2 that greenhouse operators often increase the CO2 concentrations by factors of three or four to get better growth.
@StoneyFT This is no surprise since plants and animals evolved when CO2 concentrations were about 10 times larger than they are today. Better plant varieties, chemical fertilizers and agricultural management contributed to the great increase in agricultural yields of the past century, but part of the increase almost certainly came from additional CO2 in the atmosphere.
@StoneyFT To top it off, completely owning your dumbass: NO, not everyone in Denmark has a car. MOST Danish people don't own cars and CANNOT AFFORD ONE. Please go back to your parents and ask them exactly "why don't a lot of people own cars in Denmark". I guarantee you that they will say NOTHING about "green power", instead they will tell you how ridiculously stupid it is to own a car in Denmark. It is stated by the government that they deter private vehicle ownership. IT IS A FACT.
@StoneyFT Oh and btw, there are electric and hybrid cars, ya know? Hmm, I wonder why I barely see any of those ANYWHERE even in the middle of Copenhagen. Hmm... WONDER WHY? Also, I wonder why people prefer old Volkswagens that according to your false belief, actually contributes A LOT more to pollution than hybrid cars... Hmm, yeah I wonder why everyone is driving in 10-20 year old cars instead of the new hybrid, "environment friendly" ones. Answer the question.
@emilm seriøst få et liv du bruger for meget tid på youtube, og du kan gå rundt og kalde folk dumme? Kom face til face din fucking fisse og lad vær med at skide i bukserne når du kommer okay?
@StoneyFT Lol, you tell people to get a life yet you're the one challenging people on the internet to fight you? Haha, profanity and violence are used by those who lack the intelligence to find the appropriate words to express themselves.
Alright then put your money where your mouth is, give me your full name phone number and address. Otherwise meet me at Norreport 9:00-9:30 AM in front of McDonalds TOMORROW Wednesday February 8th.
@StoneyFT You didn't meet me at Norreport like I told you to nor did you reply to my PM about arranging a time and place to meet if you were too pussy to meet me today.
If you make a threat, follow through on it you fucking chicken shit cunt.
Jeg har siddet og læst nogle af dine comments på de her klip, der er for mange til jeg orker dem alle. Men helt seriøst, jeg vil meget gerne tage imod dit tilbud om at mødes. Ikke så vi kan slås eller skændes, men fordi jeg, straight up, gerne vil tale med dig ("factually and rationally"; jeg garanterer at jeg er en god dialogfører).
Har du lyst? Sådan, blot for vores begges almene dannelse, Helt seriøst. PM mig evt :-)
@aumoaum (fordi jeg erfarer du værdsætter korrekturlæsning af egne kommentarer efter de er postede:) Det skulle naturligvis have været et punktum, ikke et komma, efter "almene dannelse".
@StoneyFT Awesome man, nice life you have. You tell people to get a life but you're here stalking your internet enemies lol. VERY NICE GETTING A LIFE LESSON I HAVE LEARNED FROM YOU lolol
@emilm No, but really - do you know what communism is? Denmark has never been a communistic establishment. Why are you saying this? Having high taxes and communism is not the same thing. Far from it.
@RoederGaming Denmark is socialist which is based on the exact same principles as communism. The only difference is in Christian Europe, of the two, communism was believed the atheist way of life. In Protestant England, the word communism was too culturally and aurally close to the Roman Catholic communion rite, hence English atheists denoted themselves socialist. There's virtually no difference. Socialism is modern communism. Would you like me to continue educating you?
@emilm sorry, but we dont have communism in Denmark. Denmark is a democratic country and has a blend of socialism and liberalism. The liberalism is not as extreme as in the US where everybody makes there own luck, and if they fail, it is just too bad. We pay high taxes to ensure that everybody has a chance to make them self a good life.
You should read a little about communism, and the danish system, so that you can be able to see the difference. Sorry for my bad english ;)
@klingest I appreciate your rational and mature reply. People don't understand that without a constructive, intelligent rebuttal, the argument becomes denial of the truth. So, I would like to tell you that you are probably the best image among some of the other Danish folks. On topic continued--
@emilm well, i think you wrong. There is a big difference between real communism and the socialist system we have in denmark. Actually most danes hate and fear the communist system, and very few people actually wants communism. That is because we have seen what happened in german DDR and the soviet union. Nobody wants that to happen in denmark, and that may be why danes might feel offended when you call our system communism. Because we think that overall it is a good system.
@emilm if you knew how socialism worked in denmark you wouldn't say as you do, so if you are interested i suggest, that you do a little research. You cannot compare denmark. maybe some people on kontanthjælp stay on kontanthjælp their whole life, but my guess is that theese are the people that would be livin on the street anyway in the USA. They are not so many, and most people actually would like to work, because the money the state pays you are not that great.
@emilm So most people will be on kontanthjælp for a while if they loose their job, until they get a knew one. Actually, when i think about it, the rules make it very difficult to be on kontanthjælp your whole life, so you were wrong about that :) Those who might be, are usually the alcoholics, or drug abuser's, and often they do live on the street, by their own choice.
@emilm you say that socialism would be nice if it worked? well denmark might be one place where it actually works. And again, we dont have true socialism in denmark. it is a nice blend between liberalism, and socialism. The two biggest parties are the liberals, and the socialdemocrats. In years they have build up a system that secures the poor, the weak, and the sick ones, and make opportunities for those who have the skill and wants to do the work it requires
@klingest You cannot compare socialism to democracy. Socialism is an economic system while democracy is a political ideology. However, they can coexist in a society ie. social democracy. Socialism and communism are based on the same principles and yes, they do look good on paper, but corruption and propaganda within (just like in all societies) is inevitable as all political systems all have the same base: The monetary system.
@emilm You cannot compare the danish way of socialism to communism!!
Denmark is the second least corruptive country in the world. USA is the 24. in the world.
The people of denmark is thought to be the happies people in the world. If you ask a dane, he might say that ofcause we are not, because ofcause there are problems, like in every system. But the problems are minor, compared to the problems in most other countries, and most people in denmark will say that they have a good life.
@klingest This means that socialism fails to deliver its fundamental purpose as claimed and advertised by those who advocate it. The problem is that socialism increases poverty at an inevitably constant rate. This is because the higher the tax, the less the incentive to work harder. I'm sure you know they work A LOT less in Denmark than most other countries.
@emilm maybe you think so, but in Denmark it is more like the opposite. They work less, because they can afford it. Most people has a good amount of money in their hands, even when they have payed their tax. Most people live in small houses, compared to other countries, but because they dont need big houses, to have a good life. Denmark is one of the most expensive countries to live in, and has one of the best economies in the world. People feel rich, even though they dont have big houses.
@klingest The more/longer you work, the more it would increase your tax burden disproportionately. The net pay for the extra hours would be less than the hours that you already work. This is why there is a lot of "sort arbejde" in Denmark. Should people resort to illegal means to earn money? Did you know that a lot of people on kontanthjælp stay on kontanthjælp their whole lives? This kind of behavior and lack of incentive to work is also passed down to their generations.
@klingest The debate of whether or not there are poor in Denmark is a weak argument as it is philosophical question based on relative thought. For example: are there poor people in Denmark or is everyone equally poor? If everyone is equally poor does that mean there are no poor people? Yes, I did exaggerate when I used the word communism, but why do Danish people get offended by the word? They are very similar to each other and in fact, communism looks better on paper than socialism.
@klingest Socialism would be nice if it worked and if the wealthy didn't mind sharing all their money with the poor, and the poor would work even if they didn't have to. Unfortunately this is not the case. That's why most really wealthy people move out of Denmark to avoid the tax. So although it looks good on paper, socialism does not work. Just look at Italy, Spain, Greece, Portugal, Ireland. Poverty in Europe is increasing at a rapid rate and Denmark is not exempt. Blame the bankers.
@emilm There has recently been a debate in denmark about if we even had poor people.
Some would say, yes we have poor people, but in fact nobody is really poor. They just dont have as many money as others. Those who cant work, for some reason, (lost there job, and cant get new one, for example) gets paid by the state, so that they can survive.
@klingest i think those living in "poor homes" that have to wait for others to give them food begs the differ - there are poor people in DK as in U.K and France. tehy live on the streets but have shelter most nights - they sometimes sleep on the walking street as well..
yes, we are socialist- but we are far, far from communist.
we have high taxes, but the most people in Denmark have a good sum of money even after the taxes are collected. The thing is, that you have no idea how danish life a society is, because you never experienced positive socialism- you have only experienced it in form of propaganda from the red scare...
I assume you are from the US as you are having Ron Paul all over your channel
@KaptajnKaffe You mention propaganda as if the people of Denmark aren't exposed to it themselves. Have you ever considered the propaganda exposed to Danish people to support the established culture? No, right? It's because Denmark is the most pure, uncorrupted country with the happiest people in the world, right? What does that sound like to you? Yep, propaganda.
og jeg har helt sikkert taget fejl af din nationalitet, undskyld- snakker med for mange amerikanere =)
jo, jeg tror helt sikkert på at en hel del propaganda er blevet smidt ind i mit sind igennem tiden, man kan ikke rigtig undgå det.
Men derfor er jeg stærkt uenig i at Danmark er kommunistisk og overhovedet har været tæt på at være det. Den danske stat er præget af en socialliberalistisk tankegang, i hvert fald som jeg ser det =)
@emilm Nope.. we do not have the highest VAT tax in the world - facts is we are not even in the top 10.
a free person chooses what kind of transport he wants to - and since it only takes 20 min to get out of town and 3.5 hours to get from the main city to the other side of the country - and our transport system are working ok theres no need to get a car. we tend to buy furniture and houses instead.
@emilm NO again, the danish system is everything but communism, and there are so many positive things about biking, like clean air, and fitness, and sometimes it is even faster than sitting in an endless queue in your car. You should try it :) At least everybody isn't fat over here. We have the highest income tax in the world, but we also i general have a very good life, and a secure economy. Money is not everything in life. That is the danish philosophy, even though money are nice :)
@emilm Most people in Denmark are in general happy with their life, and there is a reason why :) It is because of the democratic liberalsocialist system based on capitalism. It has nothing to do with communism!! NOTHING!!
@klingest Everything you are saying is based on opinion, not facts. I've already given you all of the information backed up by facts of history, economics, political science and the actual government of Denmark itself. Maybe you should spend some time reading the actual economic and political data provided by the country.
@emilm As a living citizen of Denmark, i think i might know best how the system is in Denmark. You haven't given me any true information about the actual government in Denmark, and you don't have to, because i already know how it is. I am living with this system every day!! I think i should know!! I have been trying to explain to you how it is, but you won't listen. Ill say it again... It is NOT communism!! There is a hell of a difference. Ask every other dane, and they would all agree with me.
@klingest I'm a living citizen of Denmark too. No, communism actually isn't hell. You're thinking about North Korea. What you see in North Korea is far from the communist ideology. Systems such as communism and socialism would be nice if corruption does not exist. However, due to the fact that all systems are based on the monetary system, corruption is INEVITABLE. Ask every other dane? I AM a Dane you dumb fuck. My system is your system you fucking kontanthjælpsmodtager.
@klingest There is not much else to discuss as your susceptibility to the propaganda is much greater than your ability of logical, rational thought. The fact that you state that socialism has nothing to do with communism is testimonial to your being uneducated.
You are so blind that you can't even see the facts.
@emilm It is democratic liberalsocialism, NOT communism!! There is a hell of a difference.
I don't know how i can explain this to you, because apparently you won't listen to facts.
Communism is hell! Democratic liberal socialism is based on capitalism, but not as extreme as in the USA. We still have the free market, and the right to express our self, and say whatever we want. With communism, you don't!!
@klingest Obviously you have no knowledge or education on economics or political science so would you like me to give you facts about Denmark that you can easily understand?
@emilm It is obvious true what you are depicting, but you have to look at the prosecution levels as well. Here you will see that precisely these examples fare poorly precisely because they violate the freedom of speech. Further, take a look at Freedom House's evaluations. You will notice Denmark fares brilliantly. That said, it is actually impossible to have true freedom of speech because of self-imposed censorship as evidenced during the Muhammed-cartoon incident.
@emilm hahaha that law only works by the principle... You have the right to have any view you want, but yes, if somebody insults you, you have the right to sue that person. I think that is a good thing, don't you?
@emilm If i wrote something discriminating about you and your family in the newspaper. Something that made you feel real angry. Then by principle you could sue me. That is the meaning of that law. Or if i wrote something like, people of 'That' religion is not real humans, and therefore should be treated like animals. That is discriminating, and people who felt insulted or dishonored could sue me. I think that is a good thing. Keep that sort of talk in private :)
@emilm I think that most people would agree that it is not okay to insult or dishonor other people. And most people, don't feel a need to insult other people in public. So I don't have a problem with that law. If you have a radical view, you can still have it and talk about it. You just have to do it, without insulting people.
@emilm there are many racist people in Denmark. They don't get locked up! So the law only works by principle! I am danish, and you are clearly not, because you know NOTHING about our country and how it works here. You have just proved that yourself.
@emilm these laws are there to prevent people in spreading views like, that some groups of people should be mistreated or killed... And i think that everybody in Denmark can agree on that, unless you are one of those who want to mistreat or kill a certain group of people. Don't you have laws like that in the USA?
@klingest You don't have those laws in the US. In the USA you are allowed to execute your right of freedom of speech to peacefully express your prejudices publicly. For example: The KKK are allowed to gather and dress up in their costumes to express their hatred towards black people. This applies to all racist groups. They will also be protected by police officers as it is their right to execute their freedom of speech as it states in the constitution. Your point is moot.
@klingest What's the matter with people spreading their views of hatred? People don't get killed or mistreated due to influence of these hate groups. What does democracy mean to you? They should be able to express themselves even though other people may not like it. It is their right to freedom of speech, otherwise it's called oppression. I'm sure even you can agree that no humans have the right to be oppressed.
@klingest Stop speaking for "everybody" in Denmark, otherwise what does that make it? The fact that you think you can speak for everyone in Denmark means that there IS propaganda in Denmark so that everyone WILL THINK THE SAME WAY. Do you understand your contradiction?
@emilm you still have the right to be a neo nazi, fascist, communist, racist, you just aren't allowed to express these views in public space. Actually i think you have a law like that in the USA. Civil Right movement.. Martin Luther King Jr.... Ring a bell ? So you don't have TRUE freedom of speech in the USA too. : )
@klingest The Civil Rights movement in the US had nothing to do with fighting for a right of free speech. It USED the right to free speech (contrary to your argument) to fight against the oppression and segregation of races, as it stands in the constitution that all man are equal. If you don't understand, it had nothing to do with not being able to express your hatred toward a race. It had to do with the abolishment of segregation laws as they are a contradiction to the constitution.
@klingest Remember this: the process with which you think about things is based upon indoctrination; what you're given by your society. So, your range of thought is limited by the dominant values of your society.
@emilm And the same for you, and with your system... but as long as i am happy with our society i don't care! And as long as the majority is happy i dont have any reason think that somthing has to change.

@KaptajnKaffe You mention propaganda as if the people of Denmark aren't exposed to it themselves. Have you ever considered the propaganda exposed to Danish people to support the established culture? No, right? It's because Denmark is the most pure, uncorrupted country with the happiest people in the world, right? What does that sound like to you? Yep, propaganda.

@emilm
så skifter jeg til dansk =)
og jeg har helt sikkert taget fejl af din nationalitet, undskyld- snakker med for mange amerikanere =)
jo, jeg tror helt sikkert på at en hel del propaganda er blevet smidt ind i mit sind igennem tiden, man kan ikke rigtig undgå det.
Men derfor er jeg stærkt uenig i at Danmark er kommunistisk og overhovedet har været tæt på at være det. Den danske stat er præget af en socialliberalistisk tankegang, i hvert fald som jeg ser det =)

@emilm Nope.. we do not have the highest VAT tax in the world - facts is we are not even in the top 10.
a free person chooses what kind of transport he wants to - and since it only takes 20 min to get out of town and 3.5 hours to get from the main city to the other side of the country - and our transport system are working ok theres no need to get a car. we tend to buy furniture and houses instead.

@emilm NO again, the danish system is everything but communism, and there are so many positive things about biking, like clean air, and fitness, and sometimes it is even faster than sitting in an endless queue in your car. You should try it :) At least everybody isn't fat over here. We have the highest income tax in the world, but we also i general have a very good life, and a secure economy. Money is not everything in life. That is the danish philosophy, even though money are nice :)

@emilm Most people in Denmark are in general happy with their life, and there is a reason why :) It is because of the democratic liberalsocialist system based on capitalism. It has nothing to do with communism!! NOTHING!!

@klingest Everything you are saying is based on opinion, not facts. I've already given you all of the information backed up by facts of history, economics, political science and the actual government of Denmark itself. Maybe you should spend some time reading the actual economic and political data provided by the country.

@emilm As a living citizen of Denmark, i think i might know best how the system is in Denmark. You haven't given me any true information about the actual government in Denmark, and you don't have to, because i already know how it is. I am living with this system every day!! I think i should know!! I have been trying to explain to you how it is, but you won't listen. Ill say it again... It is NOT communism!! There is a hell of a difference. Ask every other dane, and they would all agree with me.

@klingest I'm a living citizen of Denmark too. No, communism actually isn't hell. You're thinking about North Korea. What you see in North Korea is far from the communist ideology. Systems such as communism and socialism would be nice if corruption does not exist. However, due to the fact that all systems are based on the monetary system, corruption is INEVITABLE. Ask every other dane? I AM a Dane you dumb fuck. My system is your system you fucking kontanthjælpsmodtager.

@klingest There is not much else to discuss as your susceptibility to the propaganda is much greater than your ability of logical, rational thought. The fact that you state that socialism has nothing to do with communism is testimonial to your being uneducated.
You are so blind that you can't even see the facts.

@emilm It is democratic liberalsocialism, NOT communism!! There is a hell of a difference.
I don't know how i can explain this to you, because apparently you won't listen to facts.
Communism is hell! Democratic liberal socialism is based on capitalism, but not as extreme as in the USA. We still have the free market, and the right to express our self, and say whatever we want. With communism, you don't!!

@klingest Obviously you have no knowledge or education on economics or political science so would you like me to give you facts about Denmark that you can easily understand?
Then read the next comment.

@klingest IN DENMARK YOU DO NOT HAVE TRUE FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
§ 267 of the penal code:
You will be fined or imprisoned if you insult a person/their honor.
§ 140 of the penal code:
You will be fined or imprisoned up to 4 months if you mock or insult a lawfully existing religious community in Denmark.
§ 266b of the penal code:
You will be fined or imprisoned up to 2 years for racism or racial criticism.
Shows you know nothing about your own country. Are you even Danish?

@emilm It is obvious true what you are depicting, but you have to look at the prosecution levels as well. Here you will see that precisely these examples fare poorly precisely because they violate the freedom of speech. Further, take a look at Freedom House's evaluations. You will notice Denmark fares brilliantly. That said, it is actually impossible to have true freedom of speech because of self-imposed censorship as evidenced during the Muhammed-cartoon incident.

@emilm hahaha that law only works by the principle... You have the right to have any view you want, but yes, if somebody insults you, you have the right to sue that person. I think that is a good thing, don't you?
klingest 2 weeks ago
@emilm If i wrote something discriminating about you and your family in the newspaper. Something that made you feel real angry. Then by principle you could sue me. That is the meaning of that law. Or if i wrote something like, people of 'That' religion is not real humans, and therefore should be treated like animals. That is discriminating, and people who felt insulted or dishonored could sue me. I think that is a good thing. Keep that sort of talk in private :)
klingest 2 weeks ago
@emilm I think that most people would agree that it is not okay to insult or dishonor other people. And most people, don't feel a need to insult other people in public. So I don't have a problem with that law. If you have a radical view, you can still have it and talk about it. You just have to do it, without insulting people.

@emilm there are many racist people in Denmark. They don't get locked up! So the law only works by principle! I am danish, and you are clearly not, because you know NOTHING about our country and how it works here. You have just proved that yourself.
klingest 2 weeks ago
@emilm these laws are there to prevent people in spreading views like, that some groups of people should be mistreated or killed... And i think that everybody in Denmark can agree on that, unless you are one of those who want to mistreat or kill a certain group of people. Don't you have laws like that in the USA?

@klingest You don't have those laws in the US. In the USA you are allowed to execute your right of freedom of speech to peacefully express your prejudices publicly. For example: The KKK are allowed to gather and dress up in their costumes to express their hatred towards black people. This applies to all racist groups. They will also be protected by police officers as it is their right to execute their freedom of speech as it states in the constitution. Your point is moot.
emilm 2 weeks ago
@klingest What's the matter with people spreading their views of hatred? People don't get killed or mistreated due to influence of these hate groups. What does democracy mean to you? They should be able to express themselves even though other people may not like it. It is their right to freedom of speech, otherwise it's called oppression. I'm sure even you can agree that no humans have the right to be oppressed.

@klingest Stop speaking for "everybody" in Denmark, otherwise what does that make it? The fact that you think you can speak for everyone in Denmark means that there IS propaganda in Denmark so that everyone WILL THINK THE SAME WAY. Do you understand your contradiction?
emilm 2 weeks ago
@emilm you still have the right to be a neo nazi, fascist, communist, racist, you just aren't allowed to express these views in public space. Actually i think you have a law like that in the USA. Civil Right movement.. Martin Luther King Jr.... Ring a bell ? So you don't have TRUE freedom of speech in the USA too. : )

@klingest The Civil Rights movement in the US had nothing to do with fighting for a right of free speech. It USED the right to free speech (contrary to your argument) to fight against the oppression and segregation of races, as it stands in the constitution that all man are equal. If you don't understand, it had nothing to do with not being able to express your hatred toward a race. It had to do with the abolishment of segregation laws as they are a contradiction to the constitution.

@klingest Remember this: the process with which you think about things is based upon indoctrination; what you're given by your society. So, your range of thought is limited by the dominant values of your society.
Good day :)
