6. I don't have a choice any more, I'm already half Norwegian.

9. I prefer the rest of Holland to Amsterdam.
Probably because I have mates living elsewhere there. But I'd still be Nederlandse. Or Svenska, Norsk, Dansk and Finsk.

16. Norwegian
Ik vietta nogiunda sti jibiora

BUT CONSIDER THE ADVANTAGES:

In Norge we hatta svinska offikiose buinni a gogik in Europa,

IN NORWAY, WE HAVE ONE OF THE HIGHEST PER CAPPA INCOME RATES IN EUROPE,

Sti glikka in Norge tijik dinstianna gikloosi stijioska kary,

WE HAVE AN INDUSTRIAL RE-INVESTMENT RATE OF 14 PERCENT,

E in Norge we hatta siddinkarvo dikinik chaila osto tykka hennakska.

AND GIRLS WITH MASSIVE KNOCKERS.

Gikkiaski ungurden kola bijiusti stonosse.

HONESTLY, THEY'LL DO ANYTHING FOR YOU.

Hijiasgo biunderten ki yikilpa stivvora niski ofidae.

THEY'LL GO THROUGH THE CARD.

E stavaskija, E stonioska.

YOU NAME IT, THEY KNOW IT.

Stingik oloshoyert okka in Trondheim khi oyplitz...

BUT THERE'S ONE IN TRONDHEIM WHO CAN PUT HER...

35. It's all white, as am I. We're ALL Nazis.
ALL white people and only White people can be Nazi racist pricks. White people pretty much suck ass because they did Auschwitz.
It doesn't matter which country you live in now or where your family comes from, if you're a White person, you're a Nazi sympathizer.
Go U Del!
