I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I’d rather hear about things that are actually happening.

          That is just so bizarre. Well, prepare for a severe culture shock if you ever visit the Nordic countries.

          Speaking of politics, occasionally I hear people say that what we call “center” in here would be considered 100% communism in America. Likewise, right wing should probably be translated to something like the liberal left in American terms.
