I have Bear on my radio app on my phone. Enjoy listening to radio oin my car.

You may not know this but Norway is the first country in the world that has shut down the FM net (AM has never been a thing here). Now all radio on air is digital (DAB+). The sad thing is that converting your analog radio in your car cost $500 or even more. But we have very good 4G coverage so streaming radio works quite well.

Thank you for your tip on WBAP. Might be a station for my taste :)

Ok, then I understand. It's different from Norway, then. Here almost all radio stations have at least hourly news. Many combine talk shows with some music in between, some stations plays mostly music of particular genre. Mostly financed by commercials and a few is funded by the government (but those is quite political correct and a bit too left for my taste ;)

Thank you for a clarifying answer. Does your shows exists on the net today?

But there are so many. Where to start?

A station with some music, some talks and some news. Those stations I've found so far seem to be either one, not combined.

It's a tradegy when innocent people is killed.

I've been in Israel a few times. Especially in Jerusalem you will see a lot of police and soldiers with assault weapons, not only a pistol. But I feel very secure there. And those times when terror(attempts) occures they manage to neutralize the terrorist almost imediatly.

In Norway the police has until recently never been armed. They had guns locked down in the police car, though. But had to call a judge before they could unlock it. It's easy to argue that it has reduced "cop killings" by almost non existent.

This YouTube clip went viral a few years ago. It's showing how Norwegian police arrest a drunk man.

And this from the Finish Television:

Does that comfirm that less guns is safer? Maybe. Maybe not.
As mentioned above, just untill recently the Norwegian police was unarmed. But that changed july 22. 2011. Many argue that several kids wuld have been saved if the police was armed that day.

I don't know, but I feel safer when the good guys are armed. The bad guys will always be armed anyway.

Here in Norway dating often start with flirting first. Because many dates happen between colegues and friends of friends. Not so often strangers. Online dating is of course different. Then one has to ask the other for a date.

My self is hopeless when it comes to flirting. You have to have a big sign around your neck before I understand what you're after. Sometimes I ask my self how I ever could become a father

Unfortunately I have several storys of flirting that went the wrong way..

I work at an office where about 55 out of 70 employees are women. Many unmarried and good looking. Every year, sometime before christmas we use to have a christmas party. Lots of food and beverages. A good circumstance to flirt.

This story happened two years ago. As the evening went by, the beer and wines got to our heads. Some of the women went on the dancefloor. As Norwegians can appear shy and inwards, that tends to disappear as dew in the sun when we're drinking.

Among the women dancing there was a beautiful woman which would have no problems getting any man. She danced by her self. No other men on the floor. She and I had worked toghether a few years and worked in the same team. So we knew eachother quite well professionally. We also had several common interests and I always enjoyed chatting with her. I think she enjoyed the same.

The tables around the dancefloor was arranged in a horse shoe formation. I sat at the end with my back to the dancefloor and I had to twist around to watch them dancing. I was sipping to a drink when someone tapped on my shoulder. There she was. Tall, blond and beautiful and asking _me_ for a dance.

Every other man would accepted that in a heartbeat, even those with only one leg and one arm. But me? Noo, I answered "Uh.. I'm sorry, I don't dance."

I regret that to this day. Not that I think or hoped that would led to more than a dance anyway. But I regret that I put her in a state of embarassement being rejected like that. No wonder why I'm single...

Is masculinity only measured by who chasing whom? I guess it's not. I see my self as masculine man, but I'm hopeless when it comes to women...

:)

That murder and rape thing is exclusive to muslim immigrants. You'll know when you let more of them in. (of course not all muslims, but we don't have similar problems with immigrants from other parts of the world. I don't think it's a religious thing, even though I call it a Muslim thing. It's in their culture. Where gay men are thrown from tall buildings, where rape victims get stoned and thieves get their hands cut off.)



I guess there is some differences how you do it and how us Europeans do it. In Europe they get paid as long as they stay here and wait for their asylum. If and when the asylum is granted then the rest of the family comes over.



I prefer that my country help them where they are rather than supporting human trafficking. It's much cheaper too. So, for the same money we can help many more. Just think about it, there are about 60 million refugees in the world. Is it justified to help only a million and let the rest just starve and die? To me the asylum system has so many drawbacks that we have to look for other solutions. You know, the asylum idea was created in another time when trafficking across the world was not possible or extremely difficult. It might be a good idea then, but not anymore.

I had to google XM, so no I don't have it. I have listened some to 106.9, but it's all christmas these days.



Listening all night? Working night shift at a hospital? Did that my self some years ago, but that wasn't for me.



Not been in New York yet. Maybe NYC some day, but i'm NOT driving there :D

I often listen to Cat Country 98.1, but it's they just have like two CDs playing on repeat all the time.

For classic rock it's 106.9 Eagle

And Fox for "news", but that channel is very narrow and aimed at conservative hard core Trump supporters ;)

What about a channel with some news, some country/rock and a talk show now and then?

I'm not living in US but enjoy the American culture very much. My dream is to move to US one day.

Which radio station should I listen to if I like country and classic rock AND like to listen to talk shows and news?

in Michigan and Minnesota, since my family lives there. But also Arizona or Texas.


Thanks :)

One BIG problem with the asylum system is that it creates a enormous trafficking business with murder and rape and whatever monstrosities you can imagine.

One more BIG problem is that 80% of the asylum seekers are young men. Why don't they stay put and fight for their family and country?

Yet another BIG problem is that only people with money and (illegal) connections have any chance to take advance of the asylum system.

Wouldn't it be better to HELP people where they live?

My two cents ;)

The sad part is that every illegal immigrant has the right to apply for asylum. A right most (muslim) UN members hold on tight. Muslim states that has no interest in keeping criminals, extremists and terrorists for them selves.

I don't know if it was me your reply was intended for?

My intention was merely to point out that other countries has similar situations. And that every nation has the right to protect their borders with every means they choose.

You're totally free to give a sh..t about Europe. But doing so can risk doing the same mistakes as us. In some parts of Europe it looks more like Eurostan.

Protecting the borders is the right of every nation. We do the same her in Norway too. You risk being shot by soldiers if you try to cross illegally at our border to Russia.

Our other borders are inside EU/Schengen and have no real border control.

Extremists and idiots (often the same people) are everywhere, not only on the left or right side.

So people with different opinions are not intelligent? That's not very intelligent to say..

Why southern?

Because there was only in southern states tobacco, rice and cotton grew. These agriculture crops was very labor intensive to harvest, hence the main reason for using slaves.

Not that there wasn't racism in south. Using black people as slaves was racism no matter how you see it.

To me it's an interesting story either way. It gave an angle to the story I didn't know of. Always fun to know a little personal behind a story that you only know through media. So thanks for sharing. Really appreciate it :)

If you ask me? No, I can't say I remember him. But I remember the case, though.
Very interesting that you know this guy. Do you think the interview was some sort of set up, or do you think it just went that way?

That's a significant difference between us Europeans and Americans, I think. You tend to favor family values high. It's not a bad thing, not at all. Actually, I share that same view.
But my impression is that family values comes second in most European countries. A great political career is to many the most important. In many way it is, but a lot of politicians lack the ability to connect with everyone. They can still do a great job, and many does. But that last bit, many European politicians just doesn't have it.
