Lack of security and identity thefts cost Danish students any future

An international gang of hackers used the conflict between CSC and their workers to hack into central registers which were left open for all to copy for month. None of the cheap imported Indian replacement workers discovered that the security was breached. The result was a massive number of cases where Danish identities were copied.

Unknown people caring Danish passports committed vandalism in Prague. Using the copied passport numbers the police sent the demand for compensation to the young Danes who had these original passports and they are now forced to pay a fortune because rules in the European Union prevent them from seeking the rulings in courts down there challenged in Danish courts. For many of the teenagers their future ends before it is starting. Some have working class background and they will based on their social heritage never be able to pay this massive sum.

The time has come to create a new system in Denmark for social security numbers. At the same time every parent should see to that their children are kept at home instead of participating in the binge drinking holiday which is the only attraction in the Czech Republic. The only message the authorities in the Czech Republic understands is money. No tourists. No money. We have the power to pressure them. We have to use our power.

Last but least maybe the state of Denmark should insource the management of important data like social security numbers, driver’s licenses and passports. Too many of these important documents are lying around everywhere. The local city halls in Denmark contain passports in an unfinished state. Several have been stolen. They are important papers for every possible terrorist. We need them to be guarded better.

Attack on the Freedom of speech

I got a email yesterday about a boarding school in Hurricane Utah where teenagers have died. Apparently they are now going after bloggers who have told the public about the deaths. They have attacked former students due to them telling how it was to go to school at this boarding school.

I am only asking. If every school could sue former students to keep them silence then we would still have evilness like Indian Schools where the children were beaten and denied the right to speak their native language.

This boarding school named Diamond Ranch Academy take in students against their will. Of course they are not happy being forced to live apart from their family. Why shouldn't they be allowed to tell their side of the story.

Of course I understand that they fear for their business. I am only saying: Then stop taking students in against their will! Take those in who might have an issue but are prepared to do something about it. They exist!

Having googled a little I found the school listed on a blog over 1,000 places you don't want to be as a teenager. It doesn't sound good. I found information about the two dead dudes. It doesn't sound good.

How can you expect anyone to be positive about this place?

And now they are targeting the Freedom of speech. I am stunned.

I hope they will close down tomorrow.

The politicians might save jobs with a new speed bill

The Danish parliament has decided that the owner of a car should pay the speeding ticket regardless of who the driver is. It is actually a good idea because the owner will not be punished with losing points on their driver’s license.

It might save jobs. At my work place we had to fire 3 employees because Microsoft introduced a new version of C5 Dynamic program where all the old adjustments had to be rewritten to the new version in a new language only few programmers can program in for now. It makes it expensive for the firms and almost every firm I have contact tell me the same.

Microsoft have cost us jobs. We have to lay off people so we can afford to use Microsoft's programs in the future

Now we can drive faster. Maybe not so many needs to lose their job in the future due to higher productivity

Child protection services

Among my coworkers I have heard several stories about the Child Protection Service in Denmark. It is not the children they protect. In fact most of the children placed outside their homes live in non-caring foster families. It is all about payment. 3 out 4 foster families don't go to the mandatory courses they have to take every single year. They are still allowed to be foster parents. None care about the children in placements.

It is the same over in the United States. Lazy caseworkers. Children who are skipped around foster families and group homes.

It is bad, really, really bad.

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.

I hate gardening

It has been a tough winter. Two powerful storms in the autum and winter destroyed some of my trees. Before the garden can be ready for the new season we all have to work together to get the garden ready.

It is hard work and I hate it.

But there is no way around this. Maybe a couple of beers when we are done would make it a little better.

Why should we pay for foreigners?

January 1, 2014 the student grants Danish students get were seriously cut. As result my oldest child will drop out and find a job which will be used as kind of saving so the rest of the education would be financed. The graduation will be 2 to 3 years delayed depending on the salary the job gives or a job is to be found at all.

The reason for this cut is that Denmark has been ordered to pay for foreign students who can come to Denmark claiming that they are studying while they ship half the money back to their family abroad.

I don't find it fair. My children will have lost 2-3 on a higher income due to the delayed graduation all because we are ordered to pay moochers. I am angry.
