[@carlcarlotti9642]

Her opinion is completely valid, even if she is a "colombian" has the right to not liking germany for whatever reason she might have. Get over it and learn about free speech.

[@appleslover]

@@carlcarlotti9642 I didn't want to shut her opinion down. I just pointed out that her reasoning was quite problematic. And by mentioning her nationality I only mentioned her nationality to point out that she's from a country that wasn't even harmed or involved in the war as opposed to Jewish people which I gave an example of, so I thought that was quite unreasonable. She can hate Germany all she likes, but I have a right to give my opinion too.

Great to see you back again =) I really enjoy your videos.

@@likes6894 Hi, actually I have been living in Trondheim for almost a year. I am from Brazil, I have seen all the videos in this channel before moving here (it took me 4 weeks of self studies maybe), and because of that and Duolingo I could go straight to Norwegian level 2 when I applied for the Norwegian course at my university. So apart from the "not so daily contact" with the language (because in my lab/work everybody usually talks in English), I have been properly studying Norwegian for 8 months maybe.

[@tlunde53]

@@geografisica - I've been to Norway three times, so far. From my conversations with my Norwegian family and their friends, I've learned that Norwegians absolutely do not hate Americans. They like our music, food, quite a few aspects of our culture, etc. But many Norwegians enjoy visiting other countries in Europe and Asia, which they consider safer, less expensive, and more exotic. I'm surprised that Portugal was not mentioned more in the video, as many Norwegians I know visit there frequently, with some owning vacation homes.

@@YouGotUnlucky Yes I know but there recently some skit on The Daily Show where one of the comedians points out which countries hate each other and the ending punchline was that the USA is hated by everyone and that Canada is loved and adored by all the other countries. The comments tried to reinforce by saying that Americans claim to be Canadian whenever they go to foreign nations.

[@YouGotUnlucky]

@@paullangland6877 I know what you mean, to be honest I love USA and it’s very nice going there but I struggle to enjoy the very American stereotype person. Most of the times the nicest Americans are the ones who are open to foreigners or those with overseas backgrounds, and a lot of times the stereotypical Americans are just too much over themselves and theirs politics and economy. In addition that most of the world just can’t believe you guys let Trump be your president.

[@paullangland6877]

@@YouGotUnlucky Don't worry, a lot of Americans are dumbfounded that we let him get elected too. I just wish more people outside the US would start to acknowledge that Trump is not the President anymore and that we did vote him out. Also with that said, I also know that a lot of stereotypical Americans described are usually from parts of the nation that are generally more conservative politically like the southern states(which our country has a history of civil war in 1860-1864 which still resonates today). I like to think we're a lot more open minded than what media gives us credit for. Also the idea that all the countries hating the US appears to be more of a manufactured idea that the left wing media outlets have created too. I'm not ashamed of being from the US. It's my home and I won't desert for any reason.

[@tomorrow.]

@@paullangland6877 It's true media portrait's USA in a specific way but more than that I think Americans are extreme, either they are very friendly, open and sweet or else they are complete pain the wrong place. This is from my own personal experience. Also there is this fear of being mistreated in name of colour and guns. Well in general, I think it's a cool place if we keep all that aside.
