Einstein strikes again...

We had a traitor in our history name of Benedict Arnold, but we hanged him!

And we shot Quisling. Got a point? Thought not.

Leif Ericson was from Iceland, and you misspelt his name.

As to Norwegian heroes, there are a few to pick from, but you're frankly too childish and dense to be worth educating.

"As to Norwegian heroes, there are a few (too few in my opinion) to pick from, but you're frankly too childish and dense to be worth educating."

Well, if you can't even name one well known hero from Norway's glorious wars, perhaps you can name some of the battles Norway won during WWI and WWII.

Oooops, that's right, There weren't any battles.

Norway surrendered faster than the French and the good old USofA had to do the heavy lifting to bail all of you "Proud Norsemen" out from German rule.

"Indeed, Stoltenberg's government often has been criticized within Norway for being too eager to please the US. On issues ranging from the relocation of the US Embassy in Oslo to mixed signals on whether government ministers will meet representatives from Hamas, Stoltenberg has been accused of being too accommodating to US interests." What Earthshaking issues these are. Stoltenberg is obviously an American Poodle.

and Finance Minister Kristin Halvorsen's support for a boycott of Israeli products.

Not volunteering for dhimmitude or otherwise submitting to Allah would be a start. Defending Europe and Western Civilization would be great, but contrary to the aspirations of any "Centre Left" government.

Here's to Norway electing a conservative government, and rejoining the free world.

[Dead Dog]

I'd like to second Theoden's post.

Everyone on FR gets slighted sooner or later. My gripe is that the Norwegian people have elected a government that is carrying on the pastime of all leftists governments..pushing the demise of the Jewish people (ie, cutting off Israel), and rolling over for the Muslim minority.

However, I greatly appreciate what the Norwegians have done in Iraq and Afghanistan. I also have the utmost respect for the Norwegian people, and definitely plan to visit when I get a chance to see Europe.

You're making a fool of yourself in public, Albee Non-Einstein.

Well, if you can't even name one well known hero from Norway's glorious wars, perhaps you can name some of the battles Norway won during WWI and WWII.

Norway was neutral in WWI, as you clearly didn't know.

A few noted Norwegian heroes from WWII:

Leif "Shetland" Larsen, the highest decorated Allied naval officer in WWII

Joachim Rønneberg, leader of the Gunnerside commando team during the Norwegian heavy water sabotage in Telemark.

Knut Haukelid, prominent member of his crew.

Claus Helberg, leader of the Grouse commando team.

Gunnar Sønsteby, leader of the Sabotage Group of the Company Linge partisans

General Carl Gustav Fleischer, the first Allied general to defeat German forces in WWII, at the battle of Narvik on April 28 1940. (So much for your stupid claim that "there weren't any battles.)

Norway surrendered faster than the French? In fact it never surrendered. The King and Government evacuated to London and continued resisting from there as a recognized full Ally, using revenue from the merchant fleet to rebuild the army forces. The effort of the latter may have been decise to the war in Europe, by the way, since Britain would not have been supplied without it.

But first the army resisted for a month on Norwegian soil, despite having been run down in the 1930s by a naïve Labor government.

Do your homework, kid. You're embarrassing yourself.

"Norway surrendered faster than the French? In fact it never surrendered. The King and Government evacuated to London and continued resisting from there as a recognized full Ally."

Never surrendered?

Let's see if I've got this right:

The King and Queen and some other "brave and proud norsemen" desert their country and sit out the war in the English countryside while the Nazis occupy the Country of Norway.

The Nazis pick a puppet named Quisling to front for them for the duration of the war and the norse sheep mutter Heil Hitler for five years.

Only a real phony wouldn't recognize that as a surrender.

[ProudNorseman]

You mean, they should have stepped down and turned themselves in to the Germans instead? Or perhaps let themselves be gunned down? Either way the nation would have had no leadership and be truly abandoned to the Nazis.

By analogy, when you play chess, do you let the opponent take your king, or do you move him away from danger?

But never mind; you're probably too stupid even to know the rules.

[Lancey Howard]

Norway is your prototypical, European secular-socialist welfare state.
A toilet.

[albee]

PN, you're in denial, seek help......and write if you find work.

[ProudNorseman]

That's pitiful even by your standards.

Since you resort to pure abuse, I take it you acknowledge I demolished your "arguments." A shame it was so easy.

[albee]

Read post #89.

Obviously, there are others who don't think so well of your heritage.

[albee]

"You mean, they should have stepped down and turned themselves in to the Germans instead? Or perhaps let themselves be gunned down? Either way the nation would have had no leadership and be truly abandoned to the Nazis."

Gee...I wonder how you. as a "Proud Norseman" never considered staying and fighting. Oh, that's right.....you're Norse! Never mind.

[ProudNorseman]

Wow.

[ProudNorseman]

I see you continue to make dumb assumptions. You have a very impressive mind.

[Cheburashka]

I thought that for all intent and purposes Finland had succumed to Stalin ultimately.
---
If you want to know what its like to succumb to Stalin, ask the Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians, Poles, East Germans, Czechs, Slovaks, Hungarians, Rumanians, Bulgarians.
Finland: no mass murders, no mass deportations. In Eastern Europe in the 1940's that's what's known as winning.
Tough neighborhood. REAL tough neighborhood.

[tomjohn77]

Well, I live in Norway so I dont need to go back. My comment was based on your fine post. HAHA

[Joe Boucher]

Hey, I understand the why, cause you had no ability to challenge the bear. You did and you were swamped like what happened to the checks
Doesn't negate the fact that those and many more countries did capitulate.
I'd have done the same, let's see live or die.

[tomjohn77]

Go back to your cave life. You are probably just some trailer trash anyways with a brain of a child. You will probably be a push over anyways. I know people like you that are so tuff when they write. You are probably a overweight guy that would pie in your pants if you ever got to be challenged in the real world.
So long sucker. Stupid is what stupid does.

....how many good looking arab muslim females you have ever seen. Bet you can count them on one hand.

Tried to personally investigate this very subject in the ME with no, repeat NO success.
