Just not in a Russian forum, and normally mostly to my countrymen....

Hanna I thought in Sweden people are more able to influence on the policy. Why the society wouldn't elect those who will first of all care about their own people instead of sheltering every other?

A common misconception. No society can elect a decent and honest leader. Any leader will be either inept or corrupt or both. This is universal.

Rant warning! Don't ask me any more questions about this, I don't want to rant any more lol!!!

<Begin Rant>Actually, it's a very strange political phenomenon. All the "internationalism" and pro-immigration views started in the 1970s under a particular prime minister who was "internationalist" as an extension of his socialist views. He got everyone with him in the political climate of the time. Anyone escaping right wing dictatorships could come to Sweden... At the time, Sweden was very rich and needed workers, so it was not a problem. This was politically fashionable and uper-idealistic with lots of singing Kumbaya and internationale... Media was 100% for it and people thought that the foreigners were interesting. And they gave SO much in foreign aid, it's mind boggling to think about. All this just continued and still today, it's impossible to say anything serious against immigration or foreign aid- you'd be labelled an racist and ostracized. My view is that each nation is responsible for its own citizens and maybe helping out its neighbours. To allow people from all over the world to arrive and support them financially is just stupid.
<Rant++>We are giving foreign aid to China, the worlds 2nd biggest econonomy, and the Chinese are buying our factories. How insane is that???? First the state bails out these companies, then the Chinese buys them...! Apparently the idea of the foreign aid is to support democracy in China... I don't even care about that. This country is so retarded I am not sure I actually want to live here. There'll be nothing left for my grandchildren, we're just giving it away to Somalis, Afghanis and rich Chinese... <end Rant>
