He's so festive and cute :-)

Aww, Happy Frogmas to you and yours!!

Exactly. Stop trying to put your nasty syrups in my coffee!

I would totally sign up to scrub turtles!

@mrscollector you just keep being you sweetie. Sometimes we are appreciated, sometimes we have to live off the knowledge that we are doing good even if it isn't recognized. Givers gotta give - I'm one too.

what??

As a Swedish citizen I felt the need to check this. Hate crimes are defined in Swedish law Ch 16, clause 8 as follows (translation mine from lagen.nu): "threats or violence against an ethnic group or group based on race, skin color, nationality, ethnic origin, faith, sexual orientation, sexual identification or expression is judged persecution of an ethnic group and is punishable by incarceration for up to 2 years or (for minor offences) by fines. For gross offences, the judgement is gross persecution of ethnic groups, and is punishable by incarceration for min 6 months and max 4 years." So in fact Swedish law does not distinguish between minorities and majorities, as I originally thought. However, the organisation BRÅ, which records crime statistics, has only started recording hate crimes against majorities from 2009.
During my 20+ years here, majorities have sadly been & are free game for criticism. Swedish nationalism/patriotism has been taboo up until about 10 yrs ago.

He's right regarding Swedish law. But I agree with all my heart, legitimizing hatred against any group paves the way for limitations of individual rights. And the limitation/removal of individual rights is how many, many historical atrocities started.

Well it's just logical that SOME of us must be the on the asshole team. I feel conflicted.

It was a joke :-) I have several friends who live or come from there.
