Narvik - Norway

June 2008
In the sleepy town of Narvik, the global economic meltdown has caused havoc. Finding itself caught in a spiral of deceit and debt, people are considering leaving town as public services struggle to stay open.
There seems to be no place, however small, that hasn't been affected by the downturn in the US economy. This small seaport town of Narvik is home to only 14,000 people but it has become another victim of high-risk sub prime mortgage lending. The local council agreed to this 'loan lemon' that was sold to them by an Oslo based brokerage company, which is owned by 78 different banks including Citigroup. According to the local political opponent to the mayor the town has lost "at least 200 million Norwegian krone (approx million)" and public services such as schools and nursing homes are facing closure.

Yes but the musilims wil soon take over Norway, exactly as they do in Sweden -

[AtrumMixer]

Oh don't be such a pessimist. When the muslims eventually destroy our ideals and our values, they also destroy our morals of what is Right and Wrong.

That is when we will lose our minds go apeshit and beat their hairy backs back to the deserts where they belong.

[AtrumMixer]

Take over the world? You still live in the stoneage. Christians can take over the world on a whim just by snapping their fingers. But they dont want to.

Seriously grow up. People in the world are different. You can either get used to it, or you can move back to your own country where people believe in your religion.

The people here are tolerant and kind. But that wont last forever if this keeps up.

[AtrumMixer]

That's the official version. Do you even believe in it yourself, or do you take us for idiots?

We've seen what islam leads to in 1st person, and its even clearer here in Europe where there is contrast.

[mhhnorge]

@AtrumMixer NO we are not like this man, Islam is peaceful and looking for All people in the world being beleiver that NO GOD but ALLAH

[mhhnorge]

@nightravenonline yes we will take over whole the world . this had written in QURAN.

i live in narvik and i like people who live in narvik. little crimicals and very kind people.
