Can Norway produce nuclear weapons?

Denmark does NOT have any nuclear weapons of its own, but such weapons have been kept at a US-base on Greenland, which is a part of the Kingdom of Denmark. The funny thing is that the Danish Prime minister in 1957 in secrecy was asked by the Ambassador whether the Danish government wanted to be informed in case USA would decide to place nuclear warheads on Greenland, to which the former declined - apparently only consulting a few close advisers. In this way the Danish government have been able to deny for decades that there were any nuclear weapons on Danish territory - even-though everybody suspected that it was not true. The purpose of this charade was not to provoke the Soviets by officially 'inviting' the weapons, but the problem was that the Danish parliament (and people) was also kept in the dark - which obviously is unconstitutional.

What games do children play in Norway?

You start school when you're six. You go to elementary school for seven years and leave when you 13. Next you go to teenage school which is like junior high. That's 8th, 9th and 10th grade and then you are done and can choose to not go to school anymore or go to high school for three more years. However you are entitled to 13 years of school and free university. In Norwegian schools you are in a class that you share all your subjects with. Norwegian schools are not strickt at all. Children soon find that they can do whatever they want whitout severe consequences. It is almost impossible to get a detention in a norwegian school. In fact I do not think it is legal anymore.

Love in norwegian?

The noun "love" is spelled: kjærlighet. The verb to "love" is spelled: å elske. I love you in norwegian is said in two ways: "Jeg er glad i deg", which is something you say to people you care about, like friends and family. "Jeg elsker deg", however, is a more romantic or deeper way to say it, like to your spouse or your kids etc.
