Actually on the wikipedia map, Norway is shown to have conscription.

[kristaldoodle]

[Serza5]

< thinks you should try staying in Austria, < doesn't burn easily and < got burnt the first day < stayed here

[Puruun]

< is burning up over here it's really fragging hot < is also typing on her dad's iPod touch and it's weird

< hates typing on touchscreens. < likes pressing buttons for some reason.

[Jewish Candy]

< also prefers buttons. Of all kinds.

Anyhoo, < must go nap-time now. *ouaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn*

[Tobbe]

yeah I'm surprised that such a civilised country like Norway has it

There are historical reasons for this. Before the start of World War II, we had (amlost) abolished conscription, and our army was chanceless against the Germans when they decided to invade us on April 9th 1940. We decided that we never wanted to get caught with our pants down like that again, and so one year of mandatory military service for men was introduced. The slogan "Never another April 9th" has been a part of our military policy ever since, so conscription has survived up until today. Still, there are a lot fewer who get conscripted every year now than during the cold war, and I wouldn't be surprised if conscription has been completely abolished by the time my kids are 18.

On a related note: Norway is a sexist society. It favours women.

[Jewish Candy]

< thinks that's unfair, but better than over here. There's so much misogyny in Britain...

[Locas]

< is officially addicted to perfect world online.

[Tobbe]

< is going on a road trip to a town a few hours drive southwest of here to stock up on pineapple soda (which they don't sell here, unfortunately) today.
But first, < is going for a quick run. < needs to prepare for the military.

[Jewish Candy]

Oh noes, the military... < wonders if Tobbe is in good shape
< looooooooves pineapple soda, is the nicest.

[Tobbe]

Oh noes, the military... < wonders if Tobbe is in good shape

< is in fairly good shape, but still, < would like to be as prepared as possible for the military, so < has been working out a lot for the last few weeks.

EDIT: Nice! < just received a text message from the army saying there will be arranged a football match between Norwegian and Russian border guards when < gets there. < will finally be able to represent Norway at an international level.

[Haruka]

< slept very badly: again

[Jewish Candy]

Poor Haruka... *hug*
@Tobbe: As Jeremy Clarkson would say: NICE!!!! That sounds quite awesome, actually. Footie with the Russians.

[DesLife]

<'s program in Maple finally finished the calculations.
It's ben running for 736107.1 seconds. That's 204.474 hours. That's 8.52 days. 8 days, 12 hours, 28 minutes and 27.1 seconds.

[Jewish Candy]

< is F**KING PISSED OFF AT THE F**KING SERVER.
< congratulates Dessy-sama on this acheivement and wonders if it's his/her sudden unexpected appearances on PC which cause the server to crash. The awesome is too much, perhaps?

[DesLife]

The awesome is too much, perhaps?

< can't see any other explanation !
Except, maybe, for Hunch being an incompetent fool and that < should replace him... bordel de merde !

[Jewish Candy]

< smells a conspiracy.
You want to take over everything in the end, don't ya?

[Rsandee]

<'s summer just started, < is now free for school for the upcoming 2 or 3 months.

[Jewish Candy]

Congrats, Sandi-kun!
