Look it!

And if you watch carefully, you will spot some military personnel in uniform! Which is awesome. Their banner says: For everything we have and everything are! Which is pretty neat. 

Anway it is from last years pride parade in Oslo. I'm thinking about going to the Pride Parade this summer with a friend. I really should be a bit more "out and proud" as they say. Half the time I forget that I am in the minority, it might be because I am bisexual not lesbian? I dunno...

I need to remind myself constantly: Half the worlds population is bellow average in intelligence.

I know right!

At times I have a lot to add, I am just scared that my arguments will be taken the wrong way as I don't have the same experience as it seems like a lot of the commenter seem to have. (I don't enjoy wank either, except at times, like the ShitStream thing on F!S a while ago, that was awesome! I do enjoy discussing things and getting a different perspective though*)

*I fear you guys are getting tired of me hijacking random threads on F!S with; "In Norway stuff is like this" or "Wait? What? Could you explain that to me" followed by "LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT NORWAY!". But I am learning stuff, and I do actually love the fact that you guys take time out of your lives to explain things to a random internet user who at times basically insults your culture....

lmao, I don't think I've ever seen you insulting anyone's culture! And hey, if you don't understand something the only way to learn is to ask. If you have an opinion and you want to share it you should! People DO have different experiences; that's part of life! As long as you're polite and willing to listen/possibly learn people on fs can be pretty cool.

Also, I knew very little about Norway before you! ...Okay, I still know little about Norway, but you've told me things about it that I'm not sure I would've learned otherwise. That's pretty neat, imo. (That people teach you things back is only fair, I think. :p)

[making_excuses]

I don't really. I might think to myself at times that something is idiotic, but instead of insulting it I ask so I can get a better understanding of it.

I don't often have bad experiences on F!S, I dunno why though? I love the forum, it is the only place online I feel comfortable posting...

I am converting F!S users to look at the world through Norwegian eyes one at the time! Just you wait we will take over the world *mohahah*

But yeah, I have learnt a lot of stuff about (mostly) American and British culture on f!s. It was fun when I got loads of different opinions on wearing shoes indoors though. I might still think it is "unclean" to have outdoor shoes on indoors, but at least now I understand why some people do...

[elaminator]

Hahaha, that's fair, I think.

You seem reasonable. Things tend to go better for reasonable people.

And I agree, fs! has been great. (I feel less alone since I've started posting, too.)

XD

I didn't follow the shoe secret closely, but I know that some people do wear shoes inside. My father does that (he's constantly going in and out though, so I think it might partially be to save time); as soon as I get in the house I put socks or house-shoes on. *shrugs* Different strokes and all that.

[making_excuses]

I am pretty reasonable, so are you though!

F!S is my favourite place online! (That is awesome! We might be people sitting in front of different screens in different countries, but we are still real breathing people)

I followed it, because I kinda started it (without meaning to for once)... In Norway at least no one goes inside with shoes, except in "extreme" situations, like when moving or building or possibly if you are carrying a lot of things inside...
