I would have been cheated

Years back my son was at a boarding school. Tobacco was the every week subject. Due to strict legislation he wasn't able to buy it on his own and the particular boarding school had a smoking ban. (It wasn't my choice. Otherwise I would have kept him at hime where he could enjoy basic levels of freedom and smoke when he like outside on my property. We don't allow smoking inside, but allows it outside.

Now our parliament has banned smoking on the boarding schools which have allowed it in the past. I would have felt cheated if I as a parent had agreed on a contract with a boarding school allowing smoking for my son and the smoking was banned. I would have pulled my son at once despite the fact that he then could have wasted time at school

The new law is bad for us parents and it removes the possibilities for your children to learn how to decide what they find best in their lives. How will they be able to live in a democracy if they are not raise to decide what is best for them.

The Amanda Knox book - when?

Amanda Knox was cleared of the murder charge of some other girl. Now she is back in the United States and is working on a new book. When will it be published?

While I can only be happy for her I still believe that the time for exchange students is over. She did spend years in jail - years she cannot get back.

Sometime I fear for my son

Years back I was forced to accept that my child had to live at a boarding school, where he couldn't drink alcohol or smoke tobacco as every teenager has to right to do.

Now he is doing well. He returned home. He got good grades. He has a fine job.

But the past sometime seem to haunt him.

If you allow your children to leave your home before they are 18 you risk emtional scars. In fact a killer named Hemy Neuman claims that he still suffers from his past when his parents arranged for him to go to Israel and live at an unnamed boarding school at age 13.

I don't know the name of this boarding school, but I recognize the potential for damage.

That's why I often find myself fearful that my son sometime in the future explodes and react as response of his past.

I guess you never stop being a parent.

Per Aarsleff - not a firm to hire

This firm fired an employee for going the extra mile. Whenever I work I don't care whether the sub-contractors I hire keep the speed limits. If they do their job faster than planed we are all happy despite whatever cost this extra speed may cost.

I find that such firms are just plain evil. The workers give all they got and then they don't care about their employees. Fact is that it is hard to find a country in the world where normal people are worse off than Denmark where they speed limits are so incredible low that you have no pleasure in life. I am against aid to 3. world countries because we have firms like this in Denmark. The suffering in 3. world countries we experience on various media are not hard enough compared with what we have to endure due to our politicians and firms like Per Aarsleff.

I want to see more suffering from abroad next year. Otherwise 2012 will be just as bad as 2011.

The youngest is home

Today my youngest is home resting while he hopefully gets his room cleaned.

We are against community service in general due to the huge amount of money we pay in taxes, so when they announced that the students in our high school could either do community service or sleep the day off, we decided that it would be a good idea for him to rest until tomorrow, but after all he has to clean his room for leftovers and other kind of garbage in his room.

I hope he has done the work when I return home. Otherwise I may have to raise my voice.

Protest against the social services in Denmark

Denmark is not Texas. In Denmark your child cannot get a restraining order when the social services try to "help" the child by placing it in an abusive foster family or a group home where there is 2 cases of sexual molestation in Denmark every single month.

If you abuse a child placed by the social services you hardly gets any punishment. Just last month a therapist got only 60 days because he forced a 15 year old girl to give him oral sex.

That's why the parents had enough and they are protesting in front of our parliament tormorrow between 12 and 15.

Is the corruption widespread in the US justice system

I happened to watch the Lindsay Lohan hearing online because my son showed me the possibilities with his new Laptop.

I don't understand why it was a violation of probation to work for the Red Cross. Community service is community service regardless of where it was done. The probation department should be able to decide on their own if cheating is involved.

Unless - of course if certain facilities pays the courts to receive more criminals so they can make a fine business out of it. I suspect the woman center to have some kind of special status at the courts and it would very well involve a kind of cash flow.

It is not a seldom phenomenon. Most have heard of the kids-for-cash scandal in Pennsylvania.

I hope that the media will try to investigate if this woman center have gain an illegal advantage over other facilities used to punish people with community service within.

I feel it was wrong what took place in the court over in L.A. today.
