Awful boarding school environment

I was just reading my newspaper about the accident some years back when a dragon boat with 13 students from Lundby Efterskole capsized and a teacher downed. They sailed in icy waters and the boat was not suited to the weather.

Right now a trial against the school in ongoing and that is why I don't make a statement whether they should be found guilty or not. The management of the school is doing a blaming-job where they put all the responsibility on the deceased school teacher. It was not his boat. It was a boat belonging to the school. The principal in charge saw them leaving with the boat and didn't interfere, but as I stated before; It is up to the court to decide whether the management are to blame.

But I want to state something being a parent to a child living in a boarding school. If you look back on previous posts on this blog you will find that I had to send my son to a boarding school. It was not a choice I made. I was so to say forced due to the actions of my son. I don't know whether it was intended as a punishment or a chance to start over but it became a punishment.

To this very day it has marked his life. He grew apart from the rest of the family and lives a rather isolated life minding his own business. He had good grades but did choose to serve in a low paid job. I guess that I as a parent should be happy that he has an ordinary job and is not involved in crime, but as a parent you always dream that your child does it a little better. What was wrong about the boarding school was that they at all occasions tried to push the kids of their comfort zone. They tried to make the kids something they weren't born to according their social heritage.

What I like about Denmark is the security. When you are born into a working class family like I was you can make it only so far. In Denmark you don't break the social heritage on just one generation. You work quietly serving faithfully in your job so your children can start on a higher level but not that high compared to your situation.

This approach creates a society where everyone is calm because they know that if they mind their own business their children are rewarded. Only if you come to Denmark trying to work yourself to the top, you will get into trouble. We can read about it every day. It ends with crime being committed. At the boarding school they were punished if they didn't want to participate in extracurricular activities. Yes, you read it correctly. It was not the school work which could result in punishment. It was not the behavior in general which could result in punishment. It was possible dangerous activities like wilderness hiking and canoeing. My son had not been on the water for just one single day before he got to the school and swimming was about 50 meters. We live in a town far from the water, so why bother?

Basically the boarding school broke him down leaving him as a shadow of his former self. While I am happy that he has a regular job, I wanted him to do something like the work I do and make it just a little further than I did. It is not possible and I guess that a relationship is out of the question.

Sometime I think that we should have the police jail him. It would properly have damaged him less and still taught him a lesson. Instead we led a paramilitary unit educate him for almost a year. I failed my son back then and he is paying the price for the rest of his life. I feel like a bad parent.

Denmark will be the most competitive country in the world

I watched the news a couple of days ago. One of the headlines was that social workers who spot a young pregnant girl who have been in the system will put a lot of pressure on this young girl to have an abortion. The reason given was the social heritage would result in greater chance of a negative result on this unborn child life income compared with the expenses the Danish state would have to provide to it.

Also if you are ill and unemployed you have to wait until those who are working are treated in hospitals.

The financial crisis has impacted our society in a huge way and now the time has come to measure every single future Dane to decide if this birth would benefit our society or not.

The price is paid by the poor families for now. As much as I hate to live in such a society, it is a necessary price because Denmark’s status as a welfare nation is a stake. In the United States they have introduced Obamacare. In Denmark you are no longer guaranteed free treatment of your child if the social services discover that the illness your child suffers from can be genetically connected to the parents. Then part of cost of the treatment will be billed to the parents due to a new law introduced last year. My cousin speaks of law number 498 of 2011, which have forced him to sell his house and move into a small apartment.

Our retirement age are planned to be increased maybe up to 80 years. Sadly the age where you can maintain your driver’s license without being forced to go to a doctor to be checked will not be increased. For us who are dependent of a driver’s license in relation to our jobs, this increase of our retirement age will leave us unemployed the last years before our retirement.

So it is basically necessary to kill unborn Danes for the rest of Denmark to be saved. I am kind of angry and believe that we have to demand a huge discount of the amount we pay to be member of EU. I also believe that we have to cut in the aid to the third world. But until our politicians cut in all the unnecessary spending to activities abroad, I sadly have to accept that murder is the path for Denmark to rise as the most competitive nation in the world.

Not another "Not without my daughter case"

I have been told by a friend that a girl from Louisiana could end up in the Middle East unless the court then decides to put her in a strict religious boarding school instead.

After having seen some webpages about the school I am not sure whether it would be better than being sent to the Middle East, being whipped and married away to a husband twice your age and then being knocked up with a child.

I don't support cancer research anymore

I am kind of disappointed with this entire Armstrong thing. In fact now where I heard that cancer research has be so political correct that he cannot work with it anymore, I believe that they should get on without my money.

I watched his tours. I do also watch professional wrestling. I don't give a damn whether they are doing for real or they have been aided with medicine. It is good entertainment.

In fact I told my sons how lucky they should be because they are not active in sports. It is only the bureaucrats who are happy with the present situation.

They are not getting my money anymore. I think that I will take up smoking again and calm my nerves now where I have more money in my pocket.

Stop for human aid to 3. world countries

Yesterday I declined to pay contribution to some kids collecting money for some third world countries. In fact I will urge my fellow countrymen here in Denmark to do the same. The reason for my decision is the continued pressure from India where they try to get Denmark to extradite Niels Holck who is a Danish humanitarian. For reasons unknown to me he traveled around the world aiding people in the third world. One day he passed India and he angered the government in some state far away with blessing from the central government in India. Regardless of that they want to prosecute him and that is where I have to say stop. We as one of the highest - if not the highest developed country in the world shall not comply with a request from a random country in the third world. They need us because they want to be part of the outsourcing industry. We on the other hand don't need them. It is time for punishment and I hope that you will join me punishing all people in the third world regardless of country by not giving aid to them until India apologize for their insult against us.

Speed traps - again

Our minister of justice has just announced that they will invest in 100 new mobile speed traps.

Once again we honest citizens will be hunted. All the foreign drivers can speed all their want because their fines are not sent to them abroad.

My cousin drove a lorry. Now he is not employed anymore because they found a kamikaze driver from Romania who could drive without conscience because if he is caught speeding then he will be able to return home with a lot of money and he will continue his education. He is just a high school student with a driver's license taken in only 5 hours. That is all the education drivers from Romania get.

They can kill people with their trucks if they are not properly trained!!!

But none cares.

Instead they can target ordinary citizen just wanting to use their cars to their jobs.

My son use a bicycle. He has a spare job while he is in school and part of his job is to deliver small goods by bike in offices.

As a professional transporter his bike has no brake. They use track bike for fast acceleration. He even got a fine and is now thinking of how his health can get him on welfare instead of studying which he cannot afford when all his jobs gives him is fines instead of income.

I am angry with the Danish society. Very angry.

The Craiglist Killer

I just saw the Movie The Craiglist Killer" based on a true story.

I just want to say that I don't believe that he did it.

Here in Europe - especially in the Eastern Europe it is normal for suspect to die in prison if the police cannot make their case so the police would not be embarrassed due to their incompetence.

We all know how Amanda Knox was framed. It is possible that he was not guilty of the charges brought against him.

The fact that this suicide took place inside a maximum security facility where they should have known about his alleged suicide attempts must make everyone suspicious.
