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.

A Danish girl sent to a wilderness program in Utah

My son had to write an essay about this e-book novel: Janice's Journey

I find it odd the mother in this story didn't accept that her daughter had lived so many years in Denmark that the daughter was totally embraced in the Danish youth culture.

I can understand that the daughter’s actions and choice might be unacceptable taken into consideration that the mother lived at a place where kids are not allowed to have fun. But I don't understand why the mother wanted to change the future of the daughter. Danes don't have to outlive their potentials. They have a welfare system and they have a destiny based on their social heritage.

It is just an odd story.

Also pensioners have to be lonely

Last week I wrote about how people on welfare benefit have to avoid personal relationships in the future due to new legislation. Also pensioners are hit by the interest of the authorities.

When you lose your wife or husband after many years of marriage you might find it difficult to go on. Maybe you want human company. But beware - you have to send them home every evening if you want to avoid losing your pension.

I find it kind of unfair.

Poor unemployed Danes on welfare become isolated people

A new Danish law came into function January 1. The result is that background check on the economy of partner you try to enter a relationship with is very necessary.

A Danish man or woman who is on welfare are required to be housed and fed for free by the new partner if the combined income of both persons will be higher than DKK 23,000 if there are no children.

So a young woman or man will on welfare will not be an attractive partner because the boy- or girl-friend will have to pay from day one.

I predict that Danes on welfare will have to live the rest of their lives isolated from other people. My children will only be allowed to date when I have done the necessary background check into their economy.

Also their choice of school will be interesting. If they choose business school instead of a normal high school the insurance companies have decided that their lives would be of less value. If they become victim of a crime or a traffic accident there would be almost no money for those who are left behind when they have made the choice of less attractive way of business for their future.

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!

Private banishment of children - there should a law against it in every country

Imagine living the most of your life in a country. Then one day your parent offer you a holiday to the old country where you family came from. Once you arrive you discover that it was a one-way trip.

Your parent(s) want to start a new life without you.

That is what happened to Sofia Roberts from Fairfax in Virginia.

Her mother wanted a new family - without Sofia, so she arranged for Sofia to go on a holiday in Siberia where some of Sofia's family still lived. Now Sofia is stuck there and has been so for two years.

A website has been established for her. Here is a link Bring Sofia Home

It is sadly not a unique case. Here is a webpage where several cases are mentioned: Exiled and Unwanted Children

Don't use CETUSA and Explorius

I have just read in the newspapers that a 17 year old Danish Exchange student was sent home because she had sex with some boy aged the same.

It is simply too foolish that any exchange referral agency can sent a boy or a girl to a place where it is illegal for the child to have sex given the age the child has. Do they also make referrals to Iran or the Maldives where women who are raped are punished?

Such firms should not be in business and I hope that I – given the chance – can put them out of business.

Boycott CETUSA and Explorius
