United States should boycot Sweden?

The rapper A$AP seems to have been unfairly treated by the police in Sweden. First the authorities send in a man to provoke the rapper and the rapper tries to talk the individual down. There is a video showing what took place and it is clear that the unknown person is the one who provoked the situation.

Of course Sweden can be tired of the US music culture.

It is difficult for parents in the Nordic countries to understand why stars do have to be associated with weapons and drugs to enter the music scene.

Fact is that most of the so-called stars would have entered prison for the rest of their lives if they were ordinary persons. Look at how many people who sit in prison in the United States serving time for non-violent crimes just because they took too many perscription pills or moved on to drugs once the medication they got legally did not lower their pain good enough anymore.

Where ordinary people in the United States ends up in prison, the stars protected by lawyers working for the media industry escape the same harsh punishment because they can sell music or movies.

It is not fair.

Nordic parents do not want that kind of music. Of course it is clear that this lifestyle on the edge also enables them to make better music. Look at a person like the musician Earl Sweatshirt. He no longer produce the lyrics, which made him famous, so he is a finished man in the music. His career is over because he did not travel the path towards short prison stints combined with alcohol and drugs. His mother destroyed his career because she sent him to rehab.

Drugs and alcohol sell when it is done connected to the entertainment industry. That is a fact.

So what properly took place is that the government of Sweden decided to put the foot down by framing A$AP just as the Danish police did with another musician Lil Pump. Lil Pump who represented the best the US industry can do was arrested in Copenhagen just because he was a foreigner. It is standard practise in Copenhagen to hit hard on tourists so they learn that they are not welcome. The Danish police beat up soccer fans from Malmoe good some years ago and tourists from Africa learned the hard way that the Danish jails had a special beating team which you can read more about on the website of Amnesty International.

In Sweden they are used cover things up. The murder of their former prime minister Oluf Palme is one case and the failed arrest of a fall-guy in the murder of Anna Lindh which was only prevent due to the existence of video-material is another.

There is no doubt that the Swedish authorities is now working hard to doctor the tapes of the assault on A$AP so they suit the story the Swedish police is inventing.

President Trump is right trying to intervene. The media industry needs to sell the message that a career in the entertainment industry is equal being connected to drugs, weapon and alcohol. It is a question about jobs in Hollywood and the unemployment rate in the United States.

Should tourists then stay away from Sweden?

Yes. By all means!

Do not travel to countries where people do not want you.

I can give an example.

Some years ago many Danish students traveled to Prague during the winter holidays acting just like they do in Denmark. In Denmark cars are sometime burned in the urban areas, the youth rob each other (In Denmark it is now illegal to pay larger amounts in cash, so the police can solve crimes quicker when the robbers demands a wire transfer from their victims using mobile pay.) and drinking alcohol is massive once they legally can buy alcohol with an alcohol percentage under the safe limit of 16.5.

But the authorities in the Czech republic did not allow the young Danes acting as custom is in Denmark, so instead of getting visited by like 10.000 people who put money in their stores almost none visit the countries anymore.

The message from the Czech republic was clear: We do not want tourists. The Danes listened and have avoided the country since 2016.

The message in Sweden where houses where immigrants live are put on fire seem clear. Please avoid Sweden if your skin-color is dark!

So listen like we did in the case of the Czech republic. Stay home!

Danish culture defended

Some politicians make decisions based on a misguided concern towards other cultures. I know that Danes socializing tend to make a lot of noise, but mostly it is peaceful if you give us the chance and seek our company.

However if you just stand there shocked about our happy mood, you will never learn to know us.

In Copenhagen they tried to attack the core in the Danish culture. They tried to reduce the number of bars. Fortunately the courts ruled against them making their attempt illegal.

It is a huge score for the Danish citizens.

Ungrateful hosts in Prague

I am offended by the treatment the authorities in Prague show our students. They have been sold the image of a town focusing only on cheap alcohol, night clubs and parties where the boys and girls would go all the way.

The Danish students have saved all year to party for one week. They have paid a lot of money for the trip. They have a lot of money to spend on beer and parties.

But the local businesses don't want the money. The authorities would not allow those among the night clubs who will receive the money to welcome the tourists.

It is close to torture denying Danish teenagers alcohol. It is part of culture to drink. If you want to make a career in Denmark the method is to be there when the Danish workers socialize at work Friday afternoon over a beer or a glass of wine. If you are not there as employee then you will be among the first to be laid off during tough times. None would even remember you name if you choose to stay away.

The police seem to be abusive in their nature. They have not discovered that they lost the cold war. They should allow the Danish youth to act like the victors they are. Otherwise Prague and the entire Czech Republic is not some place to visit. I don't understand why they have the same votes in the European Union as Denmark has.

When will I learn?

I hurts too much. My stomach, my head.

It was a great evening. Good food. We stayed up to watch the fireworks. We can no longer afford our own because the government has cut early retirement for the Danish citizens.

We also had a lot to drink and we are paying the costs right now. Both the teens are sleeping and I don't expect to see them up on this first day in the new year.

It has been a wasted day. It was the very same last year. When will I learn?

Happy new year to your all!

Was it Danes who rioted Prague

The socalled Danes traveling home from Prague
I happened to read some newspapers from Prague trying to find out what went wrong in Prague. Because my children can attend a Friday bar in their high school every week and there are no riots in our town despite the alcohol use on campus.

So I found this photo from the newspaper LIDOVKY where the text states that the Danes were escorted out of town. It does not look like ethnic Danes to me. So are the students involved in the fights and knife incident Danes at all? Or do they just hold a Danish passport due to our open borders and as I am sorry to say corruption among some of our public service men?

I fear that all that blame we as ordinary Danes put on the parents for poor parenting can be the result of a huge scam.

Sharing public cuts

In Denmark we have some boarding schools called "Efterskoler". They are not as strict as boarding schools abroad or at least so I am told.

But they do offer a some alternative lifestyle suited for those in our society who wants Danes to forget their social heritage and position themselves to a more globalized world where traditions and social standings in every of our small communities are forgotten and erased.

But do we not have a thousand year old culture which we need to deliver knowledge about to our children before they go out and make their impact on the world. How can we give them good tradition Danish values when we back out of the parenting role before time and leave it to some closed boarding school environment to give our children our values and learn our firm standards of character?

I fear that they are left without essential parts of their social heritage if they leave the family unit too soon. Denmark is a society where social heritage matters even up to the royal family. The result is peace and low crime when people in general know what they can make of life and how important it is to act properly because you know that your children will not be born equal with the rest of the children but they will start out from the level in our society you have achieved.

The youth culture of a country must never been equal with being confined in a boarding school where their individual character is shaved off so they can fit in the enclosed group at all cost. We need people who have a social heritage which stand out, so they can be leaders rather than just anonymous followers. You cannot create a peer group leader; you can only find the individual.

Some Danish firms use a lot of money trying to build the careers of their employees. It is a fatal mistake. Team-building based on sharing a single glass of wine or a beer Friday afternoon is the only thing which works. Luckily most firms realize that.

The families can learn from the firms. They can keep their children in the local schools. They can improve the social status of their child by hosting parties at home instead letting the children hang around in the cities. They can cooperate with volunteers in biker clubs who host parties for the local youth now where most of the parties hosted by schools or the authorizes has been targeted against minorities in the society which practice a more restricted form of partying.

The government has realized that the numbers of teenagers attending the boarding schools are too high and it has proven to be too costly for our society. They have introduced cuts and of course the boarding schools are protesting. It is a shameful form of marketing because the reason for the cuts is not ideology. It is necessary because Denmark almost singlehanded has decided to pay the debts of countries like Greece for no reason. We in Denmark all have to bear our burden. The boarding schools should take responsibility instead. It would certainly suit them.

They are complaining about risk of losing clients. They should not fear. The authorities in a lot of towns have troubled teenagers which they can ship to the boarding schools instead of the juvenile halls. There are parents who originally wanted to ship their children off to some third world country where they could be teach into submission by the use of corporal punishment which is forbidden in Denmark and therefore under watch by the social services. They can use the boarding schools instead. So where is the possible lack of students?

I had a son in one of these boarding schools, which you can read something about if you two years back. It was a terrible ordeal for both him and me as parent, which I wish for no other parent to relive.

Therefore consider me biased, but I truly believe that we all have to bear the burden our politicians have put upon us - also the boarding schools.

Just saw the most awful TV-show on Youtube

One of the Australian TV-channels purchased the program concept called “The world strictest parents”. It is a TV-show much like MTV’s “Exiled” where teenager are taken from their homes and placed in potential dangerous countries to live for a week.

While they are away they live like the locals at a host family. Host families used to be very used by controversial drug treatment programs. Survivors speak of unbearable torment.

This time two teenagers were sent to South Africa to live at a family who were farmers. They also had to go to rather mysterious school where the student had to wear school uniforms and march in some military formation like it was known in the former East-block countries until the totalitarian regime fell down.

It was just an awful episode to watch. Where were the teenagers happily drinking alcohol while learning about each other and sharing life experiences?

Do they not create murderers and violent people by enforcing such a strict structure in school? Yes, they do! South Africa is one of the most dangerous countries to live in when it comes to the amount of murders. In Denmark we know how important it is to let youth buy alcohol in an early age and let them drink with each other. Sadly we have learned it the hard way because when youth don’t drink alcohol they tend to marginalized themselves and form groups of youth with another social values than the common population. As stricter the school environment get, the larger risk of violence and anti-social behavior gets.

Right now the foreign departments in a lot of other countries warn tourists from visiting certain parts of Denmark where those non-drinking youth have armed themselves and are shooting at people who looks like they have owned or driven a motorcycle at some point.

It is groups who will support the terrorist behind the 9/11 attacks at any time. We know it because they did drive around the streets and celebrated that terrible act of terrorism when it did happen. It forced us to deliver the most damaging strike against the morale among the terrorists when we printed the pictures of some false prophet according to our religious belief.

I don’t know the reason for sending teenagers from a peaceful country like Australia to South Africa, but it’s just wrong. Danish youth is among the most reluctant you from traveling abroad and study. Of course part of this behavior is owned to the fact that the Danish education system is second to none worldwide. Our education system in Denmark targets the education of the whole person. It is not about studying for some test. It is about understanding the subject and yet remains critical to it.

Even a full year in a United States High School is not rewarded with credits once the student returns home. The level of education is just too different.

Today we are very aware of the fact that it is important to prevent fauna pollution. Various cultures do not mix well.

If a Danish Television channel should consider taking this concept up, I will create a protest group at once.

I happen to be very close to crying when I saw this torment Jono and Bailey was forced to undergo, which for Jono’s case even went to far to altering his appearance. I have spoken to not so few where just like a thing like shaving your beard is something which is against the religious belief and even that was not respected.

I don’t know what is wrong with the entertainment business these years. It seems like it is a question about topping the amount of abuse and torment in every show. There were Brat Camp where one of the participants became victim of happy slapping when he returned home so he was forced into hiding. Then we had Exiled where the participants went to countries where people are held ransom or countries which were in civil war just months after they left.

Now this!

Will it ever stop? Can we not settle by living happily in our countries without learning about what other people are doing, so our youth can focus on what it best in their lives?

Two types of awful television.

I happen to have seen two of the most disgusting TV-shows in my life this recent month.

First I watched the Danish version of the American TV-show Intervention. It Denmark it is called Ultimatum and the concept is that the family confronts the suffering abuser with two option: It is either treatment right now or a total cut-off from the family. While it is a new type of entertainment to broadcast in Denmark, it is also digusting to watch. Because it is not a matter of the abuser being ready to deal with the addiction. It is a choice between two kind of evilness. Either loose the support network or surrender to some kind of unknown and unsearched cultlike treatment. Treatment that in some cases has proven deadly because it is largely an unregulated area. Is that a free choice? Experts state that is not.

Here in Denmark we always were used to that people controlled their own destiny. They have free choices. Among those choices were also the right to destroy their own life. If they wanted to eat the best meat, drink the finest wine and enjoy the finest desert every day until they are overweigth and died from it, it is their choice.

After we have joined the European Union, Denmark have under pressure to a slow change where the free choices are no longer allowed. They pressured our parliament to pass a law with a lower limit on blood alcohol content so Swedish workers could work in Denmark without the social pressure to drink more than they generically are able to. In Sweden the alcohol purchase is heavily controlled and we are used to that they end up drunk down in Elsinore harbor and have to be carried aboard the ferry back to their homeland. Often they do that just by drinking skin milk. We have lowered our limit from the natural 0,08% to 0,05% so they wont kill people while driving home.

They have forced us to introduce a age limit on alcohol and tobacco purchase on 16 and 18 years. In Denmark it has been the custom for more than 200 years for youth to start enjoying these things when they are confirmed aged 14 or 15.

When we are seeing such TV-shows in Denmark it is a serious warning about that our culture is under international pressure and that we need to get our lazy butt out of the couch and vote for a person who wants to pull Denmark out of the European Union.

It is tomorrow. Remember to vote!

The other TV-show I watched was not broadcasted in Denmark. Thanks!

It is the TV-show: The world's strictest parents. You can see it on Youtube for the moment.

The consept is simple. You take two socalled unruly and troubled teenagers and exile them to strict parents far away.

These two teenagers were sent to Alabama to so religious parents, that I was wondering if they really were sent to Iran. Any minute I expected them to return home with a bomb belt strapped to their waste as we have seen it here in Europe.

They were forced to participate in volunteerwork, which is something you have when your country lack some steps in the development so such needs by homeless or others are solved by raising taxes. It was an huge example of disrespect on those two teenagers. In their developed country they pay taxes instead of doing volunteer work and while they were abroad they shouldn't be forced to take on local customs. In Denmark we are used to that some of the immigrants bring the violence they are used to back home to Denmark and while we don't like it, we recognize that it is the price of integration and being able to operate in a globalized world.

The productivity become far higher in a country if you let professionels handle social problems and leave the rest of the population unaware about what is going on, so they can use their time on start firms, work hard in their jobs and inventing products so the country can be in the frontline. That's a lesson we have learned and other countries can learn. The amount of volunteer workers have never been so low as it is in Denmark right now and we are handling the international finansial crisis far better than most nations.

Of course we have some volunteers but it is mostly lonely elderly people who wants to socialize. Basically they are not doing it to help others, but to avoid social isolation which is helping themselves.

So it was a nasty TV-show and it is my hope that we somehow will prevent such show to be broadcast in Denmark. We need to preserve our unique culture and that is yet another reason to step up and take responsbility and vote for a person who wants to pull our nation from the European Union, so we can get the Denmark we once knew back!

Please vote tomorrow June 7, 2009

I fear for my children

Just yesterday it was published that gangs rekruts youth from every part in our society. At the same time the so-called prevention commision wants to raise the purchase age for alcohol to 18.

Because youth wants to hang out and find unity, they become easy target for the rekruters which will provide them with alcohol and drugs if they cannot buy alcohol in the stores.

In some parts of Jutland younger children aged around 13-15, who used to drink when their parents sent them down to the shop to buy beers have turned to crimes and they steal boxes of beer from peoples sheds.

Why criminalize our youth. I decided to live here in Denmark because this country were known for its freedom to do what they want within the borders of the law. I have lovely wife, but it a man choose to live with a man, they can get papers on each other down at the town hall - almost as a marriage.

It seems that Denmark is on a slow path forward to a dictatorship.

Even the question how people wants to dress is adressed as if they were living in Iran. At some schools they don't want trousers that expose skin because they fit badly. As one out of three siblings I often got clothes, which was too small for my older brother. It was often too large for me, but I had to wear it anyway. All those rules. I am beginning to understand why every third of the students in our 9'th grade have been missing the last 14 days.

But also in town certain dresses can prevent you from getting inside. It is rather odd, because this socalled "Strudhætte" have been worn for more than 500 years. It is an old tradition.

I am beginning to fear that we force the youth into the hands of the gangs. What meaning does the words of Jesus have today? Did he not say: "Let the children come to me"?

Let us accept that youth are different. They experiment with alcohol. They want to try things. Accept those things regardless if the sight is not always pretty.

It is only by learning from their mistakes that they can get better people. If we choose dialogue instead of rejection, the gangs wont have it so easy.
