Yes, the agency kind of makes sense, but the way it seems like they can operate with few restrictions does not make sense. It amazes me that in a country like the US, where people take their freedom really seriously, the gov't has so much control. Patriot act, drinking age etc.
You're right, of course, but my main point was that NRK isn't controlled by the gov't. And the problems you describe goes for all the Norwegian media, and many of the people too, so this isn't NRK in particular.
Funded, not controlled. we have the same system in Norway, and it really works. NRK (our equivalent of BBC) is no less critical towards the gov't than the independent channels. However, it has no commercial breaks:D
Of course evolution is proven, but this does not mean you can't believe in a god. Most christians believe in both evolution and God. However, they don't take everything in the Bible litterally, most see the story of God creating the earth as a story, not a factual description of how earth was created.
Actually, according to the exremely accurate web encyclopedia uncyclopedia.org:
Rap is a genre of music that is centered around the essential musical concepts of syncopated rhythm and gettin' jiggy wit da ladieez and shit. Once the exclusive preserve of the Vienna Concert House, rap is now just beginning to be understood and accepted by the vast majority of wealthy skinny white kids in suburban bedrooms who spend hours poring over the "beautiful poetry" of rap by candlelight. See for yourself
I don't mind/. being US centered, because then us Europeans can read about how messed up the US can be sometimes. And before you start writing any angry replies, I have lived in the US for some time, so I know a little about this.
But, as a norwegian, I'll bet my left arm the law will never be passed. Because a small group of people suggests something like this, it doesn't mean the rest of the country agrees. Norway is still a lot more liberal than certain other countries *cough*USA*cough*

We pay about four times more. It's all in the taxes, Norway has about the highest taxes on the planet.
Can't the jammer's signals set off the explosives too?

A good point, but is this information really that important?
You should never publish information you don't want spread around on the web.

But England uses United Kingdom Pounds not Euros.
I figured I'd clear that up, since this... darnit, I can't think of a smart ass joke!

I see your point, but most people use google, no matter what their interests are and if they are advanced users or n00bs.
Hehe, a friend of mine once typed "hotmales" instead of hotmail. He didn't like the result
Curiosity killed the dinosaurs.
Agreed, but the real quote is frightfully accurate. The world today is giving away more and more freedom to gain safety. Especially the US of A.
Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
OMG, Americans are so retarded. Next thing they'll demand to be able to drive cars
