Grizzly Bear Encounter: Rogers Pass, British Columbia (July 9th, 2015) |

They just need a cuddle.... from the inside. |

I'm calling bullshit on the self defense thing. I don't care enough to look it up, but I'm willing to be proven wrong by someone else. |
|
You get worked up real easy. |
|
What'd you need the machete for? I've never needed one for trail blazing except back home in the jungles of Straya. It could probably be argued that having it showed intent to harm flora/fauna. |

We have the same rules for humans in norway. You're not allowed to hurt others in self defense. You're not allowed to carry a knife anywhere either except in the wild but that law is not really enforced. |

Knives are tools foremost, and a weapon of opportunity second. But if I remember an old bit of information correctly, Norway is 10x better than the U.S.A. in crime and criminal rehabilitation. Don't you guys have a prison that is run and guarded almost entirely by convicts, and the whole purpose there is to get better and move on to a productive life? Might be another Scandinavian nation. |

Go back and fight the bear with a knife. I'll pay the fine if you get arrested. |
|
U saw a bear while hiking and that prompted all this? Why couldn't you just walk around the bear? |
|
do you always carry a machete while climbing? |

Our prisons is actually comparable to us hotel rooms and some immigrants aint afraid of criminal activity since the prisons is better than their average life anyways. Still it it one of the most peaceful nations and the police is not even allowed to carry any type if weapon. Last year the police fired 2 bullets but missed both. (Probably weren't even aiming.) Health care is totally free for everyone and schools pay you for going to school. All education is free except private schools wich is not considered better than public education. But you know...OIL Edit: grammar and what i meant was police only carry weapons when there is a gunman involved |

Freedom! Do you speak it? |

Norway has the ne.1 living standard in the whole world and the two richer ones pr person is qatar which uses foreign slave workers amd Luxembourg which is so small that it doesn't count. |

You will be very velcome. Our government is like the best in the world though. |

Interestingly, the USA is the only "major" country in the list (wikipedia) in the top 14. Many of the others are (population wise) are city-states. Nothing against Norway! |

We don't have a reputation for being baby boomers. Atleast we don't have public debt. I think the us should mind their own business until they have paid their debt like grecce has to. |
