Too soon buddy, too soon.

I am so sorry that I upset you or even offended you. It was not my purpose to make anyone sad by posting this. I guess personally making this post works as some kind of a processing. Lately in sweden violence by the neo nazi groups has come to just dissapear in the news just days after an attack or so. News that has been underrated nor not to be seen as terrorism at all. Which I personally think is so disgusting. So there will be an second update giving justice and an debate concerning this. 

And again sorry to hurt you in any way.

Must echo @Ln X's comment. I'm sure the intention was not there, but this sort of topic, in my opinion, shouldn't really be used in this setting, at any time, especially after the events in Orlando recently.

The actual city though is quite good. But the scenario; no.

I totally understand you. But in my opinion this is a way of story telling and that can't be censured. This is just fiction, and it has to be remembered that all stories aren't always happy ones. But remember I'm not neglecting your strong feelings regarding this topic, I do feel bad about that.

Post whatever you want. But after the Orlando Massacre, Dutch bombings, the MP Jo Cox getting murdered and today's bombing in Istanbul; when I checked my gmail inbox your post was right there at the top and for one moment I thought there had been a terrorist attack somewhere.

At least you changed the title.

As for Swedish violence, yeah there's Neo Nazi groups but there are also groups of extremist Muslims, in similar numbers, attacking people and raping. You would never believe it, or suspect it, after reading the news but Sweden has had a massive surge in violence over the last couple of years. Mostly refugee/immigrant related. Arson, murder, assaults, vandalism, rape... So I see where you are coming from. I just hope the same doesn't happen in my country the UK because of this Brexit.

I got this entry when @Ln X responded to the entry and I was a little mesmerized by it.

I think I can provide some tips from you when making updates:

1. Have the correct intention in every title because it is the attention grabber to your entry. The old title was very misleading. That is why I spend more than twenty minutes thinking if the title would be appropriate to the entry. 
2. Think about a way to address the story correctly, this is as important as the graphic intent of the entry and the title. If you may have wanted for example, a not-so-rosy story, you can improve it by using a lot of literary and graphical techniques at hand. In that way, the audience won't be surprised and angry with "Neo-nazis attack..." Giving it an appropriate time would also help and you would have to remember the events mentioned by Ln. You can check out this city journal for some good ways on how to address not-so-rosy literally and figuratively. 
3. Remember that the audience is different per site; it is kind of expected that Simtropolis members would want some graphical intent and is expecting the same visual showcase. You would have to remember that this is not the Alliance of Independent Nations (AIN) . If it was posted in AIN, this would have been good roleplay material that can be discussed with the participants; but this is Simtropolis after all, and they expect a showcase of your cities. 

That's why you would get a really bad censure when you do not pull it correctly.

Woah! Still most of the violents and arsons had been made towards immigrants not by them. Harrasment on refugees and hate against muslims is so common today. If I get you right youre saying that extreme muslims are the greatest reason behind rape,murder and arson in sweden? Well if so I'm just sad to hear thats what youve heard, its does not suit the reality. And when talking about suitable topics this comment of yours does cross the line in this forum. You have no idea of my background,if iam muslim,immigrant or whatever. Thats a pretty offensive comment right there,buddy.

I totally agree with your tips. Still this is a showcase of my city. And I really didnt expect this debate in the subject. But now im actually glad about it after all. It turned out pretty interesting.
