The law lasted till 1967

I was alive then. So were a lot of people who I know.

Shouldn't those people who are still alive see justice done, and their names
cleared?

PS: Read this today. Just about died laughing.

I'm a manager. I am ringing up a woman I have sold things to before. We
are making small talk as I ring her up. Note: I’m a [redacted].

Customer: “I can’t believe the president came out in support for gay
marriage!”

Me: “I know; kind of unbelievable!”

Customer: “That f** lover is going to burn in hell for that!”

Me: *biting my tongue* “Okay.”

(I finish ringing her up and hand the customer her bags.)

Customer: “They should round up all the gays and put them down.”

Me: “That would be bad for me, seeing as I am a [redacted].”

The woman turns pale and walks out without saying a word. A few hours
later, I get a call from the manager of another one of our stores. On the
line, I can hear the same customer I previously sold items to ranting.

Manager: *also a woman* “So, this woman is here wanting to exchange a
bunch of stuff from your store. When I asked her what was wrong with the
items, she said you tainted them; I have no idea what she is talking about.
Could you maybe clear this up for me?”

Me: “Well, I bet it is because she found out I was gay.”

Manager: “I see.” *starts talking in sultry voice* “Well, I’ll see you tonight
for
our date. You should put on that that black lace bra and panty set I got you
for your birthday! I love you!” *hangs up*

I am very confused, seeing as I have never dated that manager, nor did
she ever get me underwear, and as far as I know, she is not gay. Fast
forward a few days later to the manager weekly conference call:
apparently, the customer left the other store after thinking the other
manager was also gay. That manager then called every other store in the
area and told everyone about the customer. Over the next few days, the
customer went to every store in a 20 mile radius trying to exchange the
‘tainted goods’. Everyone she talked to pretended to be gay when working
with her and she left every time. To my knowledge, she never got her
exchange.

..that kinda judicial economy would put Norway in an even more awkward position...

...in 1945, Vidkun Abraham Lauritz Jonssøn Quisling, the quisling,
was executed for treason, in 2003 our parliament at least tried,
unanimously, to abolish the death penalty "for crimes in war".

..successful or not in 2003, that same parliament has since 9/12/2001
funded war efforts in e.g. Afghanistan, that as an absolute minimum,
in the spirit of peace, democracy and the full 4 Geneva Conventions,
ought to exceed the standards set in Adolf Hitler's Führerbefehl on
how to treat Norwegians in Nazi-occupied Norway and protect us from
the perils of WWII.

..also worthy of note in this Norwegian context, is how only the Nazis
has proven willing to try document their performance as an occupant...

..a nice pile of worm cans.
