SFI is currently using themes which run for three weeks each. Our last one was, uncontroversially, "study techniques".

Our next one is "the 2010 election".

...

We're going to have debates.

...

One guy has already announced that his sister works for Folkpartiet ("The People's Party", right-wing) so we should all vote for them.

...

This is going to go so well. And I am totally not going to get angry at all.

That sounds like a situation right out of one of my nightmares! People saying ethically and morally infuriating things right in front of me tend to inspire such a pile-up of outrage at all the ways that they're wrong that I become speechless and unable to pick which one to say first. It's even worse in Swedish, though, because I don't have as rich a vocabulary of Swedish insults (or Swedish terms for logical fallacies...).

Yeah, seriously. Three weeks of politics. How will I live. Someone is going to say something that makes me furious and then I'm going to either just stare at them in disbelief and be completely unable to articulate a counter-point or I'm going to get wildly upset because that's my brain's basic response to almost everything at the moment. It'll be great. I'm just waiting for someone to recommend kristdemokraterna. Though at least we should be free from supporters of sverigedemokraterna, given that they don't support any of our rights to be here...

You know, it's very funny to reread this comment after having read your post about the guy who did exactly that.
