Go home you might find life more enjoyable And whether you do or not - are you actually expecting riots? It's the general OMG! tone of your recent update that got me. Why do you live in Sweden whilst having your own personal "Sweden is awful" thread?

Go home you might find life more enjoyable don't get your facts in the way of socialist ideology Seriously, if you haven't lived in Sweden you really don't know what it is like. I used to think people were mental on this thread a few years ago until I actually bought a place and lived here, it is not the paradise people think it is!

I also don't understand why Finlandia isn't allowed to express an opinion on the country he lives in and the kommun he pays his taxes to because he is Finnish. My father in law is Finnish but has lived in Sweden for 60 years, is he allowed an opinion on the country he has paid taxes to his entire adult life?

Nobody is saying it is like that, just that there are severe social issues that are ignored or, even worse (in my opinion), suppressed so that talking about them becomes taboo, This, in turn, causes people to just chatter about it in private and be resentful but never dare to express their opinion in public. I have a place in a small town about 40km from Gothenburg and suspect that I see a more "real" side of Sweden than people that live in a cosy suburb of Stockholm.

Yes an immigrant railing against other immigrants should just be over looked because one immigrant is not Somalian or afghan.

Does anyone actually think it's a bad idea for there to be 20 trained police officers available in support of Stockholm's hospitals in case things get nasty? I don't think it means society is collapsing there.

I think you'll find Finlandia is allowed to do that. I just think it makes for a rather odd thread and as I said, the recent post looked a bit OTT compared with other feedback I've heard.

That's a fair enough point, probably not a bad idea at all. Didn't realise that is what had caused the other poster to get so hysterical, people should be able to see both sides of the coin and not start getting annoyed because someone doesn't sit on their side of the fence...Does anyone actually think it's a bad idea for there to be 20 trained police officers available in support of Stockholm's hospitals in case things get nasty?

FYI, I am not railing against immigrants (unless they are trigger-happy gangmembers), but the leadership of the country.
If it's a good idea to have riot police on standby at hospitals, who knows, but why is it deemed necessary in the first place.
Fine, you don't want to shut down the country, but at least make it mandatory to adhere to social distancing and self isolation if you enter the country from a hotshot.
Still, at least the latest death toll is down to 77.

Citizensm1th is right though Fin, as an immigrant yourself you need to be aware of living in glass houses and all that.
I mean, you've only got to consider all those inner-city areas we're large swathes of Finnish people have moved in and are busily conducting gang-warfare, grenade attacks and pushing the rape count to the highest level the countries ever seen.
Honestly, you shouldn't be allowed an opinion.
