    You are ignorant, bigoted, and not worth further time. Give your head a shake.

      I wish your friend safety in their travels!

      Lol what degree of douchebag would downvote your comment, holy cow LOL.

      I sincerely commend the positivity and kindness you've been bringing to this thread with warmly inviting people to flee to Canada.

      Edit: Although maybe you're being a bit harsh further down. 😞 It doesn't have to be so personal? People are just discussing stuff. Let's not let the decisions of stupid men in power deter us from productive discussion.

          Norwegians have this fanciful notion that all European and north American countries are essentially the same and that nothing is as bad as it's made out to be by those hysterical foreigners. This requires some degree of cognitive dissonance because they also feel like there is no country as good as Norway and everyone must really want to be Norwegian.

          So he probably assumed it wasn't nearly as bad over there as people are saying and if he was to get into difficulty he could just say he's Norwegian and people would just let him off because everyone loves Norwegians. Also he's 21 so not terribly smart yet.

          Not to mention that he's probably never been in a situation where a border control person takes your phone.

            You aren't trapped though! Come to Canada!

            And this is how we achieved a population greater than what our housing can support. Unless you’re ready to fork over 1200-2k a month for a 1 bedroom & 1 bathroom then I would advise against this.

            People are already forking over that kind of money in the US, and have been for years.

                Yeah I actually am thirsty to know what specifically made you think I'm bigoted. We can agree to disagree about everything else but being called a bigot is pretty serious 😳

                    I don't understand this, why not call him the way he wants to be called ? He's despicable but his name isn't the problem, I don't see how calling him Bowman (or calling Donald "Drumpf") is making any progress.

                    And it kind of undermines the discourse that we should respect people's choice as to how they define themselves.

                    BTW, the Trump family changed their name before they even came to America, unfortunately - it was such a good story. I still like to call him that from time to time, but also Mango Mussolini, Orange Baby or just mad megalomaniac.

                    And without him and his ilk we wouldn't even have a "discourse that we should respect people’s choice as to how they define themselves" because that would just be the norm, no need to "discourse" about it.

                      Add that's why certain employers already give a burner phone to their employees if they have to go to the USA.

                          Why isn't it that simple? People leave their countries for a better life everyday. If the situation is as bad as claimed I can see no reason why regardless of complexity it isn't the option chosen.

                            They can demand it, but you can't prove a negative.

                                  If you have 2 factor authentication, and the authentication device is on another continent, you don't have any means to access the accounts even if they demand it.

                                    That sounds a lot like the conditions for people who leave other countries for a better life.

                                      A bigot is a person who strongly and unfairly dislikes others based on their beliefs, race, or religion, often refusing to accept different ideas or groups. This term is commonly used to describe someone who holds prejudiced views.

                                      Now that you know what the word means, try some self reflection.

                                          For many a trip to the US from Europe is a major event. I'd imagine that many people planned their trips last year before Trump was even reelected and had already invested a lot of money, at which point sunk fallacy plays a role.

                                          I also think that for many it still hasn't registered that they are now also at risk and it's not just the classic family guy meme anymore, where it's based on skin colour.
