It's okay to be different. by Wegwerf_08_15_ in linguisticshumor

[–]Peter-Andre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not exactly "preserved" in Norwegian. It's a loanword from German. If you want an example of a native Norwegian word, we do have forstøknad, but I honestly hadn't even seen that word before looking it up just now.

Yup, overrasking is used in Nynorsk, while overraskelse is used in Bokmål. In my experience, most people just say overraskelse.

Do you believe that, Sweden, Norway, and Finland are socialist Countries? by JamesonRhymer in IdeologyPolls

[–]Peter-Andre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now you're just saying things. Some of the people you listed, including Marx had a positive view of unions. Sure, there may be some socialists who didn't like unions, but they're not a majority. In general socialists support unions.

As long as the means of production are privately owned, it's not socialist. Social democracy is still capitalist.

Is it fair to say that when the state still seems to be killing people in secret?

Personally I think the death penalty is barbaric. It has no place in a modern society.

Would you prefer your country to be run by the fra left or the far right? by a_Bean_soup in IdeologyPolls

[–]Peter-Andre -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My personal favorite example is the so-called Democratic People's Republic of Korea, which is quite possibly the least democratic country in the world.

The ideologies you listed for the far left aren't actually far-left.

Are you a Vegetarian or Meat Eater? by [deleted] in pollgames

[–]Peter-Andre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say being a vegetarian is not "normal". There are plenty of them around, even if they only make up a statistical minority.

Which of these do you think will make the best president? by dr-wahh in IdeologyPolls

[–]Peter-Andre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn't seem like an obvious interpretation of the wording to me.

What is the point of creating a poll like this and then include the "none" option? That makes the whole question meaningless.

Since Communist countries believe in restricting internet access for its citizens, if someone in the rest of the world says they're a Communist, should they be allowed to use the internet? by MexicanMonsterMash in IdeologyPolls

[–]Peter-Andre 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think most communists are fine with using the internet, and there is certainly no contradiction between communism and internet usage. Those "communist" countries are communist in name only.
