On Sweden's Got Problems, Too--Hateful Problems
There is no "Swedish decision to protect our cultural identity", therefore it needn't be respected. SD is a (commonly mocked) minority party with a clear background of racism and nazism that hopefully won't get the 4% of the votes that is needed to become a riksdagsparti (equal to "having actual political power").

On Jason Reitman's Press Tour In 2'27"
I'm with you. Also, "Janie Jones" was both fitting and very nice to hear again; I can't keep from singing when Mick Jones joins in at the end.

On Rape-Rape Is The REALLY Bad One, Right?
I'm reading a blog written by a guy who's been raped by his boyfriend (probably not a rape-rape per Whoopi's definition), a stranger while waiting for a train and escaped rape by a taxi driver (all males, obvs). He dresses quite "gay" which I guess has made him a bigger target, kind of like short skirts on girls (this doesn't mean that I think anyone "deserves" or to be raped or anything, it just means that he might attract sexual attention).
Anyhow, it's probably a lot more common than you'd think, and I'm pretty sure it is that way because they don't get reported. Gender roles being what they are, it's got to be extremely hard for a male to report rape (both male and female).

On And What Did You Do Last Night?
Great writing.
Just have to say that although free healthcare is nice, I'm realizing that the privilege of getting a private cell in jail (at least the one that I was helpfully brought to - for yelling) might be biggest benefit of living in socialist Sweden. They really took away my dignity with dignity.

On Sherlock Holmes, Baker Street BADASS
...at the most. I read about Holmes adventures when I was a kid, and as I remeber him, he was a refined gentleman of quick wit, not huge abs.
On the other hand, I probably considered anyone smoking a pipe to be a refined gentleman.
