magnusbe on Even though it seems that 98% of the regulars in this subreddit are male, I'm feeling daring and adventurous and am going to ask: What is the greatest romantic movie you've ever seen? (And "The Dirty Dozen" doesn't count.) I'm just wanting a male's perspective on this. - http://www.reddit.com/r...

"I guess you are too young to have heard about Ludivg Nessa and [Børre Knudsen](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...) - lucky you! "Two other ministers, Ludvig Nessa and Per Kørner, joined him in his protest and were also terminated from their posts and defrocked. In 1987, these three started non-violent protests at abortion clinics, turning up in traditional ministerial robes and singing psalms. They would continue until they were brought in by the police and receiving fines. From October 4. to 24 1994, Knudsen was in jail for his protests at abortion clinics, having not paid the subsequential fines.""

"I checked out Norway. Most of it is true, but some of it is just... irrelevant, like the stuff about what flowers no to give. I don't think anyone would care. This is also true, but harshly worded: "Sincerity is very important. Norwegians often consider Americans too glib and too casual. Never invite someone to dinner or suggest "getting together" without following with a sincere invitation. " Or this: "Norwegians do not use the phrases "Pleased to meet you" or "How are you?" They find these to be surface formalities with no real meaning. ""
