Yep. And no doubt those levels of immigration are unsustainable. <br><br>
You have to wonder what the political play is for Sweden's parties - in Australia there are only two sides to the story. But eight parties? I'd suggest the stretch for grabbing votes and making agreements with other parties to get power, has led to that situation. <br><br>
I've got a mate in Sweden who works with immigrants. Will see what he thinks. -

Nah, even the right of centre parties in Sweden are to the left of labour parties in many countries. The previous PM (part of the so-called conservative bloc) was banging on about how much space there was in Sweden for more migrants. <br><br>
It's an interesting place. They avoided WW2 and grew rich and appear to have been apologizing for it ever since. -
<p>Mate's response to that video:<br>
</p>
<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">
<p>How does one analyse this... If I were to start with the politics. It is true that calling a spade a spade has been nigh on impossible in Swedish politics. No-one outside of the Sweden Democrats want to fuel their fire.<br><br>
The result: The Sweden Democrats are now the third largest party. For the same reason nobody wanted to acknowledge that there was a limit to the number of asylum seekers we could accept per year until all of a sudden we had almost 160,000 last year and it became a fact. Again the Sweden Democrats grow because the other politicsl parties have had to finally do something (albeit less radical) that the Sweden Democrats have said all along.<br><br>
Sweden's resource problem is a pile of shit. We DO have a massive housing shortage due to incredibly complex building regulations but Sweden's work force is decreasing by 65,000 persons per year due to pensions and lower birth rates so we actually need to import labour.<br><br>
This massive wave of immigrants also cost the Swedish tax payer billions. But where did the money go? To wages for the thousands of people who have gotten jobs taking care of immigrants and asylum seekers. Whereas the rest if Europe is stagnating Sweden's GDP is growing with leaps and bounds.<br><br>
Are there loads of arses among the asylum seekers? Yep. Are there doctors, engineers and future nobel prize winners? Yep. Basically people in other words.<br><br>
Do I think that shaking hands and respecting equality among the sexes is more important than religious and cultural beliefs? Hell yeah. I'm looking forward to the case where the immigrant's plea of religious and ethnic discrimination is put up against gender discrimination.<br><br>
Oh... And the rape thing? Bullshit. Sexual harrasment by foreign male youth against young girls appears to be all too true though.<br>
Also interesting is that although Sweden is growing and growing the number of murders remain steady around 90 since the 90s.</p>

<br><br><p>This mate of mine was born in Sweden to Swedish parents, then they split and his Dad moved out here (Uni lecturer), so he did years between Australia and Sweden. Met him at Uni.<br><br>
He works in social services and with a lot of migrants directly, including resettling. Sees a lot of bullshit go down. His opinion is far more valid than mine, being on the ground and all. And of course, it isn't the whole story, but he makes some good points.</p> -
I see he mentions the Swedish Democrats. When they did so well at the last election the newspaper Aftonbladet printed a completely black front page. They were obviously completely oblivious to the fact that their arrogance and stupidity regarding open door immigration had been a major contribution to the rise of SD.<br><br>
What was this rape bullshit he was referring to? -
<p>Dunno - I thought he was referencing the video (I can't be bothered watching it again) but maybe it was to do with something else related to the issue.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Or it was on one of the newspaper pages that came up in the vid. I don't read Swede so couldn't tell you.</p> -
Just watched video. The mangina capital of Europe is a pretty apt description.<br><br>
He must have been referring to the rape capital of Europe remark. I've no doubt that there is some serious hyperbole about rapes in Sweden. However, there are some pretty shocking stats there.<br><br>
One thing the Angry Foreigner noted was that those screaming the most about racism and advocating open door immigration tend to live in lily-white areas with barely a foreigner in sight. Id imagine there are more than a few countries where the fervent multiculturalist "elite" don't actually live anywhere near the kind of thriving melting pots they're so passionate about. Funny that. -

<p> </p>
<p>Clarification - apparently in the video the Balkan chap mentions "Rape capital of the world" according to my mate. His response to that in statistical terms:</p>
<p> </p>
<p></p><p></p><blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">Found some rape statistics for Sweden (rape capital of the world according to the Balcan lad).
<p> </p>
<p>5830 reported rapes 2015. 12% less than 2014 interestingly enough. That's 59,5 per 100,000. High compared to Australia which had 91 in 2003 but "only" 28 by 2010. Still only halfway to South Africa. But the whole Assange case gives me the feeling that Sweden's definition of rape is far wider than in many/most other countries.</p></blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p>I always have a bit of hesitation with some crime statistics, because things like rape and domestic violence are only based on "reported" unlike hard crimes e.g. robbing a store, chances are police will be called. DV and rape, sometimes the thing goes unreported, or, as my mate says above: it depends on the legal definition of "rape".</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In any case, just thought I'd add that because I missed the rape thing in the video as well.</p> -
In Sweden they have a different wayvof reporting rape apparently , if a women falls victim to a Fritzl type they report each individual case which is why their statistics are so high.<br><br>
As for Assange he had sex with a woman while she was asleep and another without a condom despite her insisting on him wearing one. That's also an offence here in NZ this is the stuff that's been reported god knows what else he's done . even his son admits he's got a very odd attitude to women <a class="bbc_url" href="http://gawker.com/5757325/julian-assange-has-at-least-four-love-children">http://gawker.com/5757325/julian-assange-has-at-least-four-love-children</a><br>
The man is a fucking creep I'm always astounded when I see people like Penny Bright trying to downplay play what he did and his behaviour since . I can just imagine the high dudgeon that would pour out of her if Cameron Slater did what Assange did and hid out in an embassy till the statute of limitations ran out. -

<p>Fuck off. A 10 year old kid should be able to go to the local pool without parental supervision. 10 year old kids roam around our neighborhood all the time at the local park, school pool, just generally knocking about. And if one of them fell victim to a sexual predator I sure as shit would not blame the parents for letting the kid be alone for an hour or 2 in the middle of the day. Do you have the same attitude to a 10 year walking home from school without the parents?</p> -
<p>When I take my kids to the pools, I am not constantly hovering over my 10yr old (have to keep an eye on my 7 yr old) although if I havent seen him for a few minutes I will look for him, and then there is the holiday programme at the pools where it is the teachers/supervisors keeping an eye on them, so there are reasons why he might be there like that.</p>
-
I'm similar with the boy - at the local pool, I keep whichever pool he's at in line of sight, but I don't helicopter by any means. Look up, can I see him? Get up and look if I need to. Stray kick to the head, some fuckwit older kids bullying him, whatever. Drowning hazard. <br><br>
With girl, the local pool rules state you must keep any kid under 10 within arm's length. I don't agree with that, but I'm ready to go in after her at a moment's notice. <br><br>
Radically different situation to walking home from school or going down the park with friends. And even the school/park situation depends on where you live, but usually I don't mind that in our neighbourhood.<br><br>
This fucking scum had enough time to drag a 10yo kid into a bathroom, and rape him, while NO-ONE heard him screaming for help.<br><br>
So there was zero supervision, clearly. And that isn't a crime, like rape, but it's still not excusable. -
<p>Nick, you have no idea what the situation was or where the parents may or may not have been. Pretty farked up to blame them for anything without knowing any of the details.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As to throwing the book at this degenerate. Well I doubt he can be deported, because he probably claims he comes from ISIS ruled Iraq. If he doesn't he probably claims political asylum or some other bullshit and some cock sucking "human rights" lawyer will appeal the process the entire way. So the Austrian taxpayer will be up for his jail time and are then probably stuck with the farker. In other words, the consequence of allowing undocumented, unvetted migrants into your country. What could possibly go wrong?</p> -

<p>No. You are just squirming. There were clearly life guards there. And we are talking about sexual assault not potential drowning. Do you let your kids swim at school? The life guards are there to look at the swimming area, the kids were not at risk of drowing. So drop that red herring. Unless you never ever let your kids swim unless you are watching them.</p>
<p>I think it bloody retarded to somehow blame the parents for the sexual assault of a 10 year old boy. Wether it is at swimming pools or anywhere else.</p> -

<p>And your kid never swims at school? How old before he will be allowed to swim with other qualified adults watching him? </p>

<p>Some little kid has just been badly damaged by a predator, his parents will be going through a grinder and there are people ;like you blaming them.. because they let there 10 year old boy go swimming at a public pool in the middle of the day supervised by life guards. Seriously.. check yourself. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pretty simple question. Have you EVER let your kids swim without you or your wife being there? If the answer is yes.. then you are no different to the parents of that kid, if the answer is no.. then you are a monumental helicopter parent with severe trust issues.</p>
