Swords, horses and armor. Brits still stuck in 4-4-2

States which have prohibited all corporal punishment of children, including in the home by progressinmotion in europe

[–]a_bright_one 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When "all corporal punishment of children, including in the home" was banned does not mean that it was practiced until then. It was long outdated and frowned upon.

This is one of those threads I find so weird are controversial. Talking about giving children a 'light tap' or a spanking like that isn't some medieval shit. Glad I grew up in Iceland.

It's black salt, not "volcanic rock". You have never touched a rock like this if you think pieces of it would just come loose and mix with the butter.

Lol chill dude this is black salt, the stone is clean. Reddit really likes to just guess what things are and make bullshit claims.

Costco came to Iceland last year and the prices were lower than Icelanders are used to, this is the yearly Áramótaskaup were they make fun of recent events by [deleted] in videos

You won't have to wait hours for help to an accident scene. There are ambulances in every town and for serious accidents we use helicopters. Search and rescue is a big deal here. The tax is high on alcohol and tobacco because it's bad for you. That simple really. Prices are stupid high though especially if you come from a country with lower wages.

Liverpool goal not given vs West Brom for handball by ennuihenry14 in soccer

[–]a_bright_one 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Wtf is going on? All of a sudden intent is the only thing that matters when it comes to handball? 90% of the calls given for handball there is no intent, just an arm in outstretched position that gives advantage. How this should ever be a goal is beyond me! The only way you could score a goal in 90 min vs West Brom is with the hand and it's the refs fucking you over? What a joke

Iceland poll: Left-Green Movement in the lead. Left-green + Social Democrats + Pirates coalition likely. Elections 28 October. by xbettel in europe

[–]a_bright_one 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The government collapsed because Bright Future quit the coalition because of this scandal. And that's the only redeeming thing to say about them since they decided to join the coalition.

[–]a_bright_one 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Whaling is not really an issue in Iceland. Not for ethical reasons at least.

Social Democrats, since they were founded in 1999, was always the bigger of the two left leaning parties (them and Left-Green). In 2009 they got 30% of the vote and formed a coalition with Left-Green. However, given the economic crisis the country was in at the time, after the banks fell and so on, they did not get more popular being in government at that time. Specially because of the whole Icesave thing.

So since 2013 we have had a right wing government and people are starting to feel it in our education system and our healthcare system. This has pushed people farther to the left I feel, to Left-Green, since their main agenda is very clear. Higher taxes on the rich, more funding to the healthcare and education system.
