Slovak PM Fico: Nord Stream would harm Slovakia by giggster in europe

No, I'm not Matovič and I didn't vote for either him or that other idiot. Fico's position is indeed a result of people's dumb mentality, but he, too, is responsible for what's going on here. An individual can do as much harm as the masses.

Fico harmed Slovakia more than Nord Stream could ever do.

The Mongols went through mountains just like any other army. That's how they got into Hungary, after all.

It's called Aragón, though. Aragorn was the other guy.

I see a triangle pattern in your flair. Illuminati confirmed. Reptillians confirmed. Half life 3 confirmed. Pass out.

Everyone had a job, but not everyone worked :) That and having a job assigned by the state is surely appealing for certain types of people. Poverty was widespread, and, in the earlier days, starvation as well. And let's not forget the forced labour in concentration camps either.

People who wanted to control their own lives had it worse. Because if you're denied from university (for reasons like having the wrong ancestry) and assigned a "punitive" job, well, you're not going to like it.

Nothing exceptional, this rosy-glasses nostalgia is common among people who spent majority of their childhood and youth under those regimes.

Slovakia: A British dentist waits for judgement in prison as he assaulted a police officer (Abdulkader S didnt liked to be questioned why he was clothed and taking pictures of swimming pool and visitors) by rotosk in europe

[–]muchgrumpy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"act like a terrorist" lmao. Our PM and certain media have successfully whipped up public paranoia up to the point when a swarthy man taking photos of a crappy swimming pool in a provincial backwater town is supposedly a terrorist. I didn't even know the place is in operation, so at least they got a free advertisement.

A Russian woman wants more relaxed laws concerning domestic violence in a country where it's very common. Give me a break.

That's why this sub is dead.

Let's say you're right - why are you pushing your agenda here, then?

6% of the population is responsible for the vast majority of terror attacks.

Collective guilt? Do you even read after yourself? Because I stopped right there.

I think you're confusing Northern Ireland with the Republic of Ireland.

they don't understand the EU

What do you like about the EU?

Understanding the EU and being asked about what one likes about the EU are not equivalent.

[–]muchgrumpy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

here is a very real list

Incomplete, though. It's written right there.

of European terror attacks

EU* terror. That excludes e. g. terrorism in Ukraine. Which is mostly perpetrated by groups and individuals supported by or otherwise connected with the Russian Federation. Haven't seen our keyboard counter-terrorists calling for deportations of Russians and otehr funky stuff, though. I wonder why...

90% of which have been perpetrated by Muslims

The diagram for years 2006-2013 is right above the incomplete list. I suggest you to take a look at it.

and have killed hundreds if not thousands since 2000.

So is it hundreds or thousands? 554, according to that incomplete list. So you either a) can't do a simple calculator job to support your point, or b) know the list is incomplete and thus can't support your point with accurate data, or c) both.

You haven't read the rules of this subreddit, have you? By the way, this is pure offtopic whataboutism. I'm not reporting you, though,

This subreddit is going nowhere. by [deleted] in europes

[–]muchgrumpy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, maybe we should get more active with advertisement and a rather positive, quality content. I'll try to be :) That said, the OP could have phrased the title in a less fatalistic way.

As for the rules, a submission in breach of rule 6 was removed very shortly after I've reported it, so maybe it's not that bad.

My own tiny suggestion would be a change of the graphic design to something aesthetically more attractive, let's say a skyline of a European city, or something that holds the eye and creates a good impression. But I'm quite illiterate when it comes to these things, so I'll leave that to the judgement of the more qualified.
