Maybe they were consenting adults?
(What's the age of consent in dog years?) Hey, Ruinel, ever read "The Last Picture Show", by famous Texas author Larry McMurtry? I remember it saying that they couldn't get any of the country boys to stay after school for football practise- they had to get home and ...ahem ...service the cows. And BoP, don't get started on New Zealand sheep farmers and why they wear Wellies ![]()

Concerning unemployment in Sweden. There being a million of us (one ninth of the population) we should perhaps found a party. Union of Unemployed People's Party to put pressure on the politicians to do something about this lousy situation.
What do you think, Jonathan? |

While we're at the subject, what do you Swedes think of your king's statement about Brunei?

He, if I remember correctly, claimed that he'd never seen such a free country as Brunei after having been on an official visit and shown around in the country by their "president" (whom I can't remember the name of).
For the record, Brunei is (according to most papers I've read lately) a dictatorship...

I don't think a new party against unemployment is necessary, just vote for the non-Socialists. There are too many parties already and personally I don't like parties with names that suggest they only deal with a single question (e.g. unemployment). Quote:

Now people think a dictator can't be close to the people in any way and that the king shouldn't honour the ruler of an undemocratic country when the government is against unemocratic countries. The king in Sweden doesn't have any power and he's supposed to be politically neutral at all times. This statement, which to me seems rather harmless, wasn't neutral and there has been a lot of fuss about it in the media. A hurricane in a glass of water if you ask me.

Sweden is the last Soviet State. In this country a lot of people thinks that communism is a viable option. They don't know or ignore the fact that it ALWAYS leads to tyranny. They also ignore all the atrocities commited by communist dictatorships while they scream on the top of their lungs against Hitler and Nazism in their demonstrations. So there is a plethora of idiots in this country.

I wouldn't compare Sweden to a Soviet state. It's important to separate the Social Democrats from socialists. The Social Democrats are still strong supporters of democracy and market economy, they just support large public sectors and government control/influence in some areas. Being a bit socialist, it's still far from real socialism Ã* la Soviet.
Not all people are ignorant of the cruelties of the socialistic dictatorships. But I agree people seem to raise their voices more against the right-winged extremists than the extremists on the left.
