    they also feel like there is no country as good as Norway and everyone must really want to be Norwegian.

    I haven’t experienced that in the many years I’ve lived here. It is a humble group of people, seems to me. They also have tons of love for the other Scandinavian countries. You paint a picture of stuck up nationalists, and that’s pretty far from the truth.

      Ok but where are you originally from. Because they have a very short list of good countries. And a good many of them will say things like “yeah but you’re not one of those immigrants”. I’m not saying everyone is like this but a large number are, especially after a few beers.

      TBF, when I first heard of this I didn’t realise dude was a tromsøværing. He probably isn’t that way just young and dumb.

        Oh I’m American; I’m an immigrant here. I’m no expert on it. I’ve just lived here for several years and not witnessed that. That said, I’m probably in a bubble.
