Do you live in a posh or rough neighborhood?

Skelleto pls

 

Skelleto has a point tbf. There are far worse places than Rosengård in the world, but to Swedish standards it's a bit dodgy generally. Everyone in Sweden, including people who live in Rosengård know that a lot more criminal acts happen there compared to the rest of Sweden. That's a fact.

 

Okay, I'll bite.

"By Swedish standards it's a bit dodgy generally" is not the same as a "no go zone" which was the exact wording he originally used.

That's also a fact.

As for your statement "Everyone in Sweden, including people who live in Rosengård know that a lot more criminal acts happen there compared to the rest of Sweden. That's a fact." No, that's your opinion. Do you mean relatively more crime or absolutely more crime? Because as it stands your "fact" doesn't even read very clearly.

 

My pal was over for the Stockholm derby a couple weeks back and said the city was lovely, metro to all different islands or something that's how you get about over there..

Raved about it and is going back over..

 

* sake, every country has parts where the crime rate generally is higher. A place like that happens to be Rosengård for example. As I said, it's no warzone but a lot of shootings and muggings have happened there over the years.

 

There are no go zones in scandinavia but not in the same wasy as dodgy areas in the uk

 

How can they be different from the UK, a no go area is no go wherever it is..

Either it is or it isn't..

 

Hence my original reply to Skelleto, my replies since, and my response to you.

I'm relieved that we all agree that Rosengård and other areas are not "no go zones" as Skelleto so melodramatically and tendentiously stated, and that even if Rosengård et al have a higher crime rate that that is hardly out of the ordinary in a large European city.

Shootings, muggings, stabbings etc are well-known in Scotland and Ireland as well. And we have actual "no go zones" and have had actual "warzones".

 

They aren't any no-go areas in Scandinavia. It's total unmitigable pish to suggest so.

It's a phrase commonly used by the right side of the political spectrum in Sweden, Denmark and Norway to refer to areas that are "a bit dodgy" (i.e., have a high proportion of ethnic minorities - "immigrants" rather than "Swedes" as Skelleto described it) is all.

Hence when you press a Swede on this they admit there are no "no go zones" and it's just that some areas are "a bit dodgy".

They should come to the north of Ireland to see what a real "no go zone" is like FFS.

 

There are no no nono limits,no no,nono no go zones in norn iron,

 

I was in Rosenga(o above the a)rd before and I'll not be back, couldn't move for bullets being fired about the place.

 

Where to, the city of culture :bbpd:

Now is this 'never talking about it again'?

 

Sweden have also had warzones tbf, it might have been 200 years since we were properly involved in a war. But we've definitely had warzones at a couple of points in history :icon_mrgreen:

I never said anything about Rosengård being a "no-go zone" or whatever. You couldn't really know what Rosengård is like if you haven't been there, and I'm pretty sure you haven't. Am a right?

 

No, you're embarrassingly wrong.

Of course I've been to Rosengård - don't be so patronising and presumptuous. Honestly, the way some Swedes go on you'd think it was Beirut c. 1982.

By the way, where did you grow up, where do you live now, and which Swedish political party do you support?

 

I live in a normal neighbourhood, all sorts of people, some junkies, but no bother whatsoever.

I second the Gronland bit, been to Oslo for a while and spent a fair bit of that time in and about the Gronland part of time with zero bother whatsoever, you obviously can tell that it's a part where there's a lot immigrants living, but they just go about living their life like anyone else.

 

Exactly this.

Yet you get all the same accusations thrown against Grønland and similar areas in Norway that you do about Rosengård. Those on the right side of Norwegian politics are convinced the place is some sort of "no go zone" where sharia law is enforced (despite all the bars!) and "Norwegians" must tread in fear (despite all the ethnic Norwegians who live there as well).

Skelleto and Celticswede (for example) would no doubt cleave to this view of a "thorn in Norway's side" if they visited Grønland or similar areas.

 

I'm not telling you what political party I support, you don't need to know that. It's not SD if you're thinking that, I'm not that stupid. Why the * should I tell you all of these things anyway? I shouldn't have presumed you haven't been to Rosengård, that was wrong of me. I get that. But you are talking out of your * for the most part here.

 

Stop presuming things you pretentious *.
