    So we are officially screwed.

    To make a long story short, I'll provide a link to the only article in English I've come across: http://stormen.wordpress.com/2009/08/27 ... n-dollars/ (Incidentally a Norwegians blog)

    For those of you who find Norwegian to be an intelligible language more in-depth articles are available if you search the web.

    ---

    Now where the hell did they get that figure? Dr. Evil? I mean that's $125 000 USD per Norwegian citizen.

    That said I'd admit their murder case may be solid.
    The man in the picture Tjostolv Moland, claims this to be a natural reaction to having gotten away from the armed bandits who allegedly killed the driver, alive.

    If grinning like an idiot is a natural reaction when cleaning out the blood of a dead man from your car, I am the Pope.

    Best stuff I've come across is in the Norwegian papers though:

    These are the claims of the prosecution:
    -SIG(PMC) (The company run by the defendants) is an elite secret unit in HMKG(His Majesty the Kings Guard).
    -One of the defendants is a sergeant in the Norwegian army. (This evidenced by a picture of Moland in his mall security uniform.)
    -The defendants are spies from Norway seeking to destabilise DRC. (Wouldn't that being like sending a bag of sand to Iraq to make it sandier?)
    -The aforementioned mission was given by His Majesty the King.
    -Norway is a part of EU. (WTF?)

    The civil claims in the case:
    -The owner of the car that was used demands 6 million dollars.
    -The DR Congo demands $500 billion from Norway because of the spying. (For reference I add that the GDP of DR Congo is $11.2 billion.)
    -The witnesses in the case demands $10 million dollars each. (Well, aren't they trustworthy?)
    -The family of the victim (herein the victim's father, who is reported to be seven seven years older than the victim) demands $12 million.
    -The victim's labour union demands $3 million. (I can only assume that's to cover losses in future membership fees.)

    Damn, I can so hear him saying it in my head right now, over and over again.

    Unless we're talking 500 billion by british terms. A mere 125'000'000 USD per Norwegian, because hell, why not? Don't just stand there, prepare your wallets.

    I've never had anything against the DRC before....
    Now that I see they are an epicenter of stupid I have a plan.
    Let's get Bush back in office and convince him the Congo is the real storehouse of all the WMD.
    That should fix 'em.
    Then we could toss in a new government and cede them off to Norway.

    Ya. Okay. Stupid idea, but I blame the cold meds.

    Norway could also sue them for spreading false allegations. If this doesn’t work, just give them sanctions, until they will drop the charges.

    King Harald V is a man with a vision. The noble people of Norway need more space to live in.

    First Denmark sent the Middle East into bloody turmoil* after the now famous incident with the Muhammed caricatures. Then Sweden sends Israel into a rage because of the latest ramblings of our biggest tabloid.

    It's simply Norway's turn.

    *Not that that is much of an accomplishment really.

    So, when two kids are bad, what do you do? You put the kids in time out, and take away the toy. I think we need to nuke Mecca, and walk away from the Middle East.

    We should have done that in the 70s instead of begging and pleading with them for over a year to release the hostage students.

    Revolutions are supposed to be made from the inside. If you nuked Mecca, the only good that'd to would allow for complete mobilization/blacklash of/from the Muslims worldwide. Also, that doesn't fit at all into the "Green Belt" policy U.S. was following against the Soviets at that time.

    Still, a Muslim might throw his religion aside and do such thing, but a foreigner, especially a Christian, cannot. Don't forget there are 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide. Do you want another damned world war?

    I would say that what every sane person wants is that every single Muslim bit the ground. It would be wonderful to do it with a snap of one's fingers, but even if we gathered 99% of all Muslims in Mecca and nuked the shit out of the place, the other 1% would only be happier to continue their sacred mission with greater force. Nuking Mecca would be a lesson to stop acting like the rulers of the world, but one can't take a lesson if he's a brainless enraged brainless lacking self-preservation brainless believing in virgins waiting for him in heaven brainless berserk brainless zombie, who is brainless.

    Anyone care to point out to people that believe this that the only virgins in heaven would be children, babies, and maybe some 15 yr olds? Sick fucks...

    About that, the "virgins" are called huris, which are heavenly creatures - with the only purpose being for sex, really. Still, they aren't going to get their way with virgins from Earth itself.

    You're free to call shennigans when a Muslim talks about how the Qo'ran supports human rights, though.
