Sick sick world what is wrong with people

Nope I will do me thanks hun.

The last 20 years of "political debate" have proven enough to people that they know their views no matter how strongly based in reality and backed up by data will just get shouted down.

You fellas continue with your echo chamber. Ironically I vote the same way as a lot of you.

When have data backed views been shouted down?

Assume whatever you like. But you know full well your talking to an English guy from the continent of Europe.

That WhatsApp group I mentioned earlier is lighting up now haha. People agreeing but can't be bothered to post in here.....

It's just a question? My point is people have spoken out in America and have got what they want. You appear to be wrangling with a self imposed censorship.

What was you saying about echo chambers?

Can someone fill me in as to what’s been going on in Sweden over the last five years?

No wrong answers.

Happy to hear all opinions.

They have serious trouble with criminal networks and youth crime, which has been on the rise for years.

The last two-three years have seen a spike in gun related deaths, mostly gang related and many incidents involving kids - some of them under 14 years old.

Gangs are ecen recruiting kids as hitmen, even in other Nordic countries. There have been bomb attacks, even against a police station.

Some of hese gangs are connected to certain neighbourhoods in Swedens big cities, where a big majority of inhabitants are immigrants.

Critics blame Swedens liberal immigration policy, which have allowed "parallell societies", with varying degrees of internal justice, to establish themselves in these neighbourhoods.

I know for a fact that police are reluctant to enter some areas in Stockholm and Malmø without sufficient backing, because of the risk of being attacked.

Some networks have direct or indirect links to Eastern european criminal networks.

The activity of these networks is now also spreading into Norway and Denmark, which is a big concern in those courntries.

This is obviously a brief and simplified summary of a complex issue, but it's real and it's serious, and a big talking point here in Norway too. It will be a major issie in the coming general election.
