Do you think that Republicans are ignorant?:
I don't know, I'm not an american.

Why do people become religious extremists?:
Of course there are many ways of becoming a religious extremist, but talking America .. Many are brought up to be religious in a religious environment. Their faith becomes so integrated in their lives that when they defend it, they're defending their childhood, their way of life, their friends, their family. To lose their faith would take away so much, so the (perhaps unconcious) motivation for staying religious is powerful.

What's your opinion on American life opposed to the European way of living:
Stupid question because there are many ways of life in America and Europe. Norway is definetly not Italy or England and I guess Montana may not be like Florida. My prejudices tells me that America is less cultured, more fake, more opportunistic, more paranoid, more consumerist, further removed from nature. I'm not a slave to any of those views.

Do you believe that there is something out there, and if you do so, why?:
If you mean space, then yes. I believe that life will tend to appear if there's a chance of it happening. I don't believe we'll ever make contact with anything intelligent out there. Perhaps some radio waves at most. I don't believe in ghosts or people being psychic or having healing powers. I'll admit it's a possibility just like everything is a possibility, but aside from not being very well documented scientifically despite numerous attempts, I think believing in that sort of stuff brings more trouble than it's worth.

Do you think that there will be more major terrorist attacks soon?:
I don't know, really. What is soon?

Do you think that the *** Marriage bill will ever be passed?:
More very american questions .. I don't know. I hope so.

What is your least favorite country or area?:
I don't really know.

What is your favorite country or area?:
The southernmost parts of Norway, without a doubt.

What about the changing climate, do you worry about it?:
I don't worry about it because I don't think it'll be such a huge problem here. The problem in Norway will be that everyone else will have a hard time, for example agriculture further south in Europe will be hard and that will affect us. Possibly, there will be a lot of eco-refugees sometime in the future.

Have you ever had/do you believe in deja-vu?:
How can you not believe in it? It's a fairly normal human experience. I think it's the result of something chemical going on in the brain.

What's more important, a cure for cancer or one for aids?:
cancer because if any of those are going to affect the people I love, it's most likely going to be cancer.

Do you think the Islam and Christianity will ever commence a war?:
I don't know. If there is a war with America and an islamic country, I don't believe America is doing it to push forward the christian belief. I think there will be more interests on both sides, so .. In that way, I don't see a religious war between christianity and islam happening anytime soon.

Was 9/11 an inside job?:
Don't know and I don't care enough to waste energy speculating that.

Are you a republican/democrat?
Another american question, but I'm a social democrat.

Are you a conservative/liberal?
Meh

What's your stance on gun control:
I think the lack of it is doing a lot of harm overseas. Guns should only be sold to people who use them for hunting and who have the right training and license to prove it. Guns who's purpose is not to shoot or scare animals should not be sold.

Abortion views?:
I'm pro-choice.

What do you think of George Bush and his administration?:
Not a good PR guy for you americans.


The rest of the questions are just too american to answer. :p
