If he is subjected to racism, he leaves the plan immediately and goes home. He don't tolerate racism. Now coach <a href="http://www.dnaindia.com/sport/report_italians-promise-to-support-mario-balotelli-over-racism-stance_1696738" target="_blank">Cesare Prandelli</a> is supporting Balotelli to stay in the European Championship, by saying he will leave the bench andwalk out on the pitch if it happens. The team is also supporting Balotelli because he is a good player and very very important. The Italian team talked in a press conference last Thursday and said that they will help him with problems and if they sing racist songs. The group who Italy is playing in is C where <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spain" target="_blank">Spain</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croatia" target="_blank">Croatia</a>, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ireland" target="_blank">Ireland</a> also plays. Italy will be staying in a hotel in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krakow" target="_blank">Krakow</a> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poland" target="_blank">Poland</a>).<br />
<br />
According to <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/european-championships-2012/9298777/Euro-2012-Mario-Balotelli-says-he-will-walk-off-the-pitch-if-he-is-racially-abused-in-Poland-and-Ukraine.html" target="_blank">the Telegraph</a> he said it after<a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CEoQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fnews%2Fuk-18192375&ei=g7vLT8qzHceH4gT7pon1Dw&usg=AFQjCNGy50KphWL6vUXTLvH2k2MYpE-NtQ" target="_blank"> hearing warnings</a> from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sol_Campbell" target="_blank">Sol Campbell</a> in a BBC program about violence in football. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukraine" target="_blank">Ukraine</a> and Poland reacted strongly and disliked what he said.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My opinion is clear here.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Poland</span></div>
I believe that Poland will do a good job in protecting everybody against rascists. I've been there and seen how helpful they are and trust them. One thing they can't protect against is that after hearing Balotelli saying like that surely some people will sing rascistic songs if they are on the edge to loose playing with Italy!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c9/Herb_Polski.svg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c9/Herb_Polski.svg" width="170" /></a></div>
To understand this you only have to look at Sweden. That is a safe country, but anyway there are rascists there that say studipd things. For example did the party secretary in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sverigedemokraterna" target="_blank">Sverigedemokraterna</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bj%C3%B6rn_S%C3%B6der" target="_blank">Björn Söder</a>, say "<a href="http://gd.se/ledare/1.4755051-apropa-bjorn-soder-och-loreen" target="_blank">Sweden</a>?" (Swe link) on his facebook page when Sweden won the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 (Read more on <a href="http://harald-english-karlstad.blogspot.se/2012/05/loreen-and-freedom-of-speach.html" target="_blank">this post</a>). Sweden had a singer those parents were born in Morocco, and the party have a lot of people from the old<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Nazism" target="_blank"> Neo-nazist</a> party among their voters. If Sweden has dirty among their "top" politicians, then it is no wonder if it happens to be some in Poland too. That is no excuse, we all have to proceed fighting for the equal rights for everybody.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ukraine</span></div>
<a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/95/Lesser_Coat_of_Arms_of_Ukraine.svg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/95/Lesser_Coat_of_Arms_of_Ukraine.svg" width="143" /></a>Ukraine, on the other hand, I doubt will be able to protect the players and audiance against rascists. Why? Because if they can't protect their own <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/europe/yulia-tymoshenko-sentenced-to-seven-years-in-prison.html?pagewanted=all" target="_blank">ex-premier minister</a> and democratic fighter, Tymoshenko, against the dictator and a seven years long time in prison, why should they want to protect foreigners?Also by listening to people in Romania makeing me doubt. When I was going to travell by car from the north of Romania to Poland I was told it was unsafe to drive past Ukraine, although I would save 400 kilometers. I was told stories about cars being stoped by the police and robbed and other things. Well, I doubt in Ukraine, but we will see. Time will tell.<br />
<br />
Lets hope that the players dare to fight un-democratic powers in the world by telling that Ukraine is a dictatorship and that they should releaseTymoshenko, just like Loreen dared in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azerbaijan" style="background-color: #fff9ee; color: #888888; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Azerbaijan</a>!Harald och Marcelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13092634525085168503noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990296362978589876.post-91240285634655458682012-05-31T21:54:00.000+02:002012-06-01T23:07:04.225+02:00Loreen and freedom of speach<br />

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4PMQB5zmAU" target="_blank">Her song</a> has been heard all over. It
specific sound touched a whole continent. She won with more than 100
points, close to the ESC record. Just to listen to it makes a lot of
people shiver. When she sang it in a slow tempo at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%B6torget" target="_blank">Hötorget </a>in
<a href="http://www.dn.se/kultur-noje/musik/tusentals-firade-loreen-i-stockholm" target="_blank">Stockholm to celebrate</a> the victory she touched all the thousands of

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
She won a fair victory!</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
A lot of the women at the contest where
dressed to show their bodies, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LL4nTddctUc" target="_blank">here Greece</a>. They looked nice, indeed, but how many
of them had made their breasts bigger to look prettier? I don't know,
but a few I guess (I do not think Eleftheria has done it, she is just an example of dressing and showing the body). How many had done plastic surgery <a href="http://theberry.com/2010/04/22/stop-plastic-surgery-abuse-27-photos/#close" target="_blank">to look better</a>?
It did not help, because Sweden had <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loreen_(singer)" target="_blank">Loreen</a>. She did not flash her
breast, and she were not ashamed that they are not so very big- they
are natural. Her face was natural too, everything exept her hair
seems to be natural, but I might be wrong.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Loreen won for the sake of the <a href="http://aquariancore.hubpages.com/hub/NaturalWomenAreTheMostBeautifulWomen" target="_blank">natural woman</a>!</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Loreen was the only participant who
dared to question the dictature in the country by <a href="http://www.thelocal.se/41022/20120524/" target="_blank">visiting democracy-organisations</a>. When she was questioned about it, some tried
to say she was doing it against the rules the Swedish leader <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christer_Bj%C3%B6rkman" target="_blank">Christer Björkman</a> said she was doing it on her spare time.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
She won the democratic fight that no
one else dared to fight (except a <a href="http://www.newsinenglish.no/2012/05/27/beate-in-baku-and-threatened-too/" target="_blank">Norwegian comedian</a> who were abused
by the airport guards when leaving the county, but he was not

When winning for Sweden she also won
for all the people that have moved to this country to live here as
Swedish citizens. She won as the voice of all the people in Sweden,
except for the extreme right nazi-friendly groups like
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sverigedemokraterna" target="_blank">Sverigedemokraterna</a> those party secretary, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bj%C3%B6rn_S%C3%B6der" target="_blank">Björn Söder</a> wrote <a href="http://gd.se/ledare/1.4755051-apropa-bjorn-soder-och-loreen" target="_blank">“Sweden?</a>” on
his facebook page when she won. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
She also won by hugging a dark
colored man, Ausben Jordan, in the dance. That dance shows that the color of the skin
doesn't matter.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

racists.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">
By visiting womens organisations in Azerbaijan
she lifted up the oppression of women in the country and in Islam.
She also talked about her cousin who was <a href="http://mobil.aftonbladet.se/nojesbladet/article14848328.ab" target="_blank">forced to marry</a> (Swe link) a 25 years
older man when she was 13 years old in Morocco. A terrible action by
a society who do not care about the women but only the man. Here are <a href="http://www.unhcr.org/refworld/publisher,IRBC,,MAR,3df4be662c,0.html" target="_blank">some statistics</a>.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">
She really showed the last victory in
the dance at ESC by in the end force the man to the ground. I really
liked that metamorphose.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Loreen won a victory for the oppressed
women. Let us all help those women to a better life. Let us all help
the poor girls who are in that terrible situation. Let us do
everything to stop men act like they did towards the cousin of Loreen
or the sisters <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zana_Muhsen" target="_blank">Nadia and Zana</a> in the autobiography <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Sold-Modern-day-Slavery-Zana-Muhsen/dp/0708848478" target="_blank">Sold: Story ofmodern-day slavery</a>.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Yesterday I heard from an old friend
that he too had left the work as a teacher. It came as a chock. How
can a well educated and popular teacher like him quit before the
semester is over to start working in the local grocery store, with
meat?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
What I know the school he worked on is
quite calm compared to a lot of schools in towns. When asked he
answered: “Now I will not have to work when I am free from the job,
and if I work some evenings and weekends I will anyway have the same
salary as before...” (great salaries for teachers in Sweden!)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
What is happening in Sweden? I know my
story (and you too soon), but all these good teachers leaving the
school like the rats jumping from the sinking ship. I will just
mention two more before my story: One music teacher became a church
musician (nice change) while one who became retired started to work
as a sub in her old school, saying “now I only have to do the fun
part-have lessons- all the other things, the so called paperwork that
took all the time from the real work is gone. This is the real work
for a teacher”. I can't agree more with her!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now my story:</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I also felt that I spent more and more
time doing work that was administrative and not teaching. I used to
tell my friends that when I started working as a teacher I had time
to sit and plan my lessons and help as a sub when somebody was sick
(up to 4 lessons/week). I also got extra paid for that.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
After 15 years I still had to be a sub
when someone was ill, but due to new rules that the union had
approved all over Sweden we were not paid for this, but forced to do
it. The planing had to be done during the “home working time”!
Now I also had to do other things like much more paper works to
“protect the school from being accused to not follow the rules”
and “check if the students had any diagnosis” and... these where
the reason why my friend quit and now works at ICA superstore.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I worked anyway until one day I was
threatened during a student trip in the forest were we where supposed
to sleep that I should “live as this was my last day”. The trip
was canceled during the evening and I made a report to the police. I
was told that they can do nothing because the girl was under 15 years
old (she was 14). The head master did what he could, but according to
the law in Sweden the girl did not have to move to another school
unless she said yes to the place he wanted to give to her (her
parents said “No!”).</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
So I had to work in a classroom were it
was a student who knew I could do nothing when she were messing and
disturbing the other students.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Some weeks later she really were
messing during a math test. She was playing games, with the sound on,
on her cellphone! She was told by me to put it away, and I got the
answer “soon”. When I came back I said “according to the law I
am allowed to take your cellphone if you are disturbing others with
it, so pleas put it away.”. “No”, she said. “Then I will take
it now”, I replied and put my hand on the cell. What happened then
was like in a dream.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
She hold tightly in her cell and leaned
fast forward and bit my hand. I was in shock and just looked at my
hand and said loud:”You bit me”, then I walked out from the room.
I do not remember what happened with the test.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Once again I called the police and the
headmaster and my colleges gave me all their support. I signed of and
was home psychically down. It is called “sick leave”. I did not
have any strength left to work in that kind of situation. The doctor
said it was no good to return. (The girl stayed in the class and the
police did nothing again., and the headmaster could nothing do, more
than try to insert extra resources in the class-but he lost me. He
did what he could for me!)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
What to do? Stay home and be “sick”
approved by a doctor, although you don't feel sick or do as my former
colleges above?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I did nothing of that. Instead I
started to study again to become an engineer. I have great study
buddies and gets a great education, but the cost is high: I need to
take new student loans (the way it works in Sweden) and it costs the
society too to. It is a crazy situation, but now I enjoy my life.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Will I ever come back to school as a
teacher?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Good question. I love teaching, I
really do!!! and I am a great teacher (according to my other
students, not that girl). The problem is that even the law is against
the teachers in Sweden.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Under 15, nothing happens
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
over 15... according to a court
decision recently students are allowed to hit the teacher “a little
bit”, because the teacher profession should be looked upon as the
police profession according to <a href="http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article14871769.ab?fb_comment_id=fbc_10151753235585514_32604221_10151754681670514#f12e8ebfb8" target="_blank">Aftonbladet</a> (Swe link). “!on kcuF” (invert
it). They never gave me a course in self defense. I am a teacher, and
as long as the students have the right to beat the teachers I will
not come back.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
If Sweden are supposed to be one of the
best countries in the world in education the government and the
opposition have to do something drastic, else there will be no
teachers any more.

He was fined and the dogs got a better house. The preast also lost his job as a priest because he has got a too bad reputation after this, says a church layer in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diocese_of_Stockholm_(Church_of_Sweden)" target="_blank">congregation in Stockholm</a>. This could be a nice end of a terrible story. I think that the church acted correct.<br />
<br />
Why am I then upset?<br />
For me some dogs life is not as important as humans. I thought that the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_Sweden" target="_blank">Swedish church</a> had the same opinion. After a very fast search on google you'll easy find sex abuses in the Catholic church (I've written about it before <a href="http://harald-english-karlstad.blogspot.se/2011/12/pedophilia-accepted-according-to-el.html" target="_blank">here</a>), but some priests in the churches in Sweden also makes that kind of things. It is the punishment that I get upset for:<br />
<a href="http://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=91&artikel=295795" target="_blank">Sveriges Radio</a> wrote 2003 about a priest who beat a boy. He was fined 5 000 Skr, but were allowed to proceed to work as a priest (well, after being a teacher I might understand that you can be outrageuos in some situations, so maybe that was correct by the church)<br />
What is more upseting is what Aftonbladet wrote in <a href="http://mobil.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article14443952.ab" target="_blank">February 2012</a> about a priest that has been sexually abusing several teenagers during long time (known since 2009), but he has got a "time to think about it while he still is allowed to work as a priest". (for example he forced a girl to have oral sex with him in the room for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglican_devotions" target="_blank">Anglican devotion</a>!) This is a scandal!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
I understand Angelica Karlsson who wrote in <a href="http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article6286206.ab" target="_blank">Aftonbladet 2009</a> that it is dangerous that persons accused for sexual crimes are investigated in the churches own "courts". That makes it more likely that sex-criminals are still working with our children. When it is like that you will not feel safe to send your child alone there. The article is about a priest who doesn't deny that he had a sexual relation with a student, but the church did not send case to the police.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I care for the animals, but when the church seems to care more for the dogs and their priest than for their "lambs" then it is outrageuos!</div>Harald och Marcelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13092634525085168503noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990296362978589876.post-35148540878252948792012-05-25T22:27:00.001+02:002012-05-25T22:27:34.365+02:00Oh my Science (God?)You won't belive it.

The socialist paper <a href="http://www.aftonbladet.se/ledare/ledarkronika/katrinekielos/article14851424.ab?fb_comment_id=fbc_10150822879343107_22031586_10150823707603107#f15f9a796c" target="_blank">Aftonbladet</a> (Swe link) has on its debate-page an aricle written by Katrine Kielos. She seems to think that the organisation <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanisterna" target="_blank">Humanisterna</a> shall fight with the economical system instead of figthing homeopathy, religious oppression and discrimination because "the money-system has costed much more than the religion"...<br />
<br />
If we look at the suffering and what happened in the Americas and still going on, just as an example, I see worse things with the religions than the economical system. But that is of no importance here. The Humanisterna is an organisation with one goal and that is working towards their things and nothing else. If you want to work with that, well enter a political party...<br />

****************************************************************************<br />
Yesterday a Swedish program was broadcasted in the Swedish television about what the Imams are saying when they do not know the society are listening. It was <a href="http://svt.se/ug/muslimska-ledare-uppmanar-kvinnor-till-underkastelse" target="_blank">Uppdrag Granskning</a> (Swe link) who wanted to examine that by sending out two women in niqab, and with a hidden camera, to ask what they shall do because their husbands have taken a new wife, are beating them and forcing them to have sex. All three things are illegal in Sweden (and both of the women are true believers in Islam).<br />
One, I repeat only One Imam told them to go to the police because you shall never beat your wife.<br />
The rest were not so very good... (some of them said a little bit good things too)<br />
<br />
The main mosque in Sweden, the one in the center of Stockholm, where one of the worse! "Even if your husband is beating you and has go another wife you got to have sex with him, and you shall not go to the police because then it is problems . They will put him in jail!" That means that he knew it is illegal to beat but he says she must accept it. I wonder if He, the Imam, a holy person (?) would accept to be beaten and forced to have sex. Don´t think so.. (But he is a man, or?)<br />
<br />
In six of the ten mosques the Imams tells the woman they must have sex with their husband, according to the quran. The only times they may say "No!" is when they are ill or have got the period.<br />
<br />
Where are the womens rights?<br />
A friend of me said in Facebook "throw the bastards (Imams) out from the country, they have no right to treat the women in that way. I said "No". If we throw them out from Sweden we will just move the problem to another country and their women. (when he said to the moon I accepted, because as far as I know no women are living there)<br />
<br />
According to <a href="http://svt.se/nyheter/sverige/ministrar-rasar-efter-svt-s-avslojande" target="_blank">Helena Benaouda</a> (Swe link), the leader of "Sveriges muslimska råd" (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_Council_of_Sweden" target="_blank">The Swedish muslim council</a>) they know there "have been" a problem with some volunteer imams, but that is because some mosques do not have so much money. Hey, Helena what planet are you from? (I know you are born Swedish and this is your country) All these mosques gets money from the state or their countys (written in the link), and most of them gets money from ex Saudi Arabia. They have well educated Imams (the mosque in Stockholm has it most certenly). And you try to say they are not educated? And tries to make it sound like the government in Sweden do not give you enough money? Wake up! (try to say something to help the muslims instead, because right now people only thinks about who is your daugthers husband, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munir_Awad" target="_blank">Munir Awad</a>, and thinks it is because of that you have strange opinions...)<br />
<br />
Some muslims in Sweden says the program was not good to show because it only makes the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamophobia" target="_blank">islamophobia</a> worse, and helps the racists. Hmm, who helps the racists here? Isn´t it the Imams living in a time that should only be remembered in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Thousand_and_One_Nights" target="_blank">One thousand ond one night's</a>? As long as people calling themselves muslims and treat their women in this way that religion will have problems in Europe. When they live as a lot of my muslim friends it is no problem.<br />
<br />
Finally: When I saw the look in the 12 years old girl in a suburb to Stockholm walking with her <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijab" target="_blank">hijab</a> looking at her former classmate, my 12 years old daugther, I felt bad. You could see in her eyes she did not have the hijab because of something between her and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allah" target="_blank">Allah</a>. It was her parents forcing her to have it probably because they did not the men to look at her as a sexual object. They have not understood the words in the quran, then... (according to the Imam in the muslim school I worked at four years ago.)<br />
****************************************************************************<br />
The day after the program there was a debate about it in the same chanal.<br />
According to <a href="http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article14843088.ab" target="_blank">aftonbladet</a> (Swe link) three muslim women had a hard time during the debate. They did not get enought of time to speak, and they where interupted by the men who were rising their voices (very usual to do when you have no core in what you say... try to shut the mouth of the opponent). It ended with the three brave women leaving the studio. They told aftonbladet that "Islam is not a women suppresing religion" and "the men are bad representants for islam".<br />
I agree with the women, but unfortunately their wholy book says a little too much about women... the men wants to read those parts to be able to be kings in their house, but it should be read as those parts in the Bible are read (in Sweden anyway, not in the christian right och catholic church): "It is history and should be so too"<br />
<br />
According to <a href="http://www.dn.se/nyheter/sverige/forskare-vanligt-att-kvinnor-inte-far-stod-av-imamer" target="_blank">DN</a> (Swe link) it is usual that the women do not get any support from the imams. "Many imams gets a work (in a mosque) as family councils, and then they get power in a social work they are not educated in. Then they might answer according to their religiuos moral", a scientist working with islam says.<br />
And I say "a so called religious moral is nothing worth when it hurts and kills people", I know that it is written in sura 4 verse 34 and 38 that the man must take care of the woman economically, and that he has the right to in the last instance beat her if she is not behaving, but that is just a book written by a man to other men to try to suppress the women (but he did it better for the women by the standards of that time). Now it is time to see that we are equal in everything-same intelligence (but in my eyes it seems that a lot of men called imams are less..), same kinds of feelings and same rights according to the only law that is just- the law of the country and not a silly religios law.Harald och Marcelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13092634525085168503noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990296362978589876.post-87269218801492411702012-05-10T19:51:00.001+02:002012-05-10T19:51:52.104+02:00Wikipedia lectureToday I made my first lecture about Wikipedia and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation" target="_blank">Wikimedia</a> for app. 40 high school students from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borl%C3%A4nge" target="_blank">Borlänge</a>.<br />
Great audiance, great questions and fun to inform about this subject.<br />

Den tionde maj gjorde jag mitt första
offentliga framträdande som Wikimedia-ambassadör.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<a href="http://www.helixgymnasiet.se/" target="_blank">Helixgymnasiets</a> IT-program i Borlänge hade frågat om någon med kunskap om
Wikipedia skulle kunna ställa upp och berätta om Wikipedia.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Jag tyckte det lät intressant att få
göra det och anmälde mig frivilligt. Enda problemet som jag såg
det var att hitta lokaler att vara i. Efter att ha frågat på en
högskola som har IT-inriktade utbildningar och fått ett nekande
svar kontaktade jag en annan IT-inriktad skola som utan omsvep sa ja
till att upplåta lokal och teknik till mig. Detta resulterade i att
Gymnasiet först var på information i Kista under förmiddagen och
sedan åkte till <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ericsson_Globe" target="_blank">Globen </a>och <a href="http://www.distra.se/" target="_blank">DiStra skola Syd</a> för att höra mig.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Det var en tapper skara på ca 40
elever från årskurs två som kom och lyssnade intresserat och
ställde bra frågor. De fick en ordentlig genomgång av hela
Wikimedias verksamhet med utgångspunkt från en liten uppsats jag
skrev inför detta tillfället, som skall ligga som grund för fler
tillfällen.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Jag höll på i cirka en timmes tid att
prata engagerat om neutralitet, netikett, glädje i att vara med och
skriva, fotografering, klotter och att lita på vads om står
skrivet. Nu får vi se om det blir en ökning av Wikipedianer i
Borlänge.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

Tack Helixgymnasiet för en trevlig

He does it like this (<a href="http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker%27s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy" target="_blank">link to the source</a> with more fun quotas):<br />

What a pity they, the paper, did not do their research correct. Swedish Wikimedia answered on <a href="http://wikimediasverige.wordpress.com/2012/04/18/manga-fel-om-wikipedia-i-undersokning/" target="_blank">their blogg</a> (in Swedish) about all the wrong things the reporter Clas Svahn wrote. Of course no corrections or excuses...<br />
<br />
One other group at once liked that article and wrote themselves on <a href="http://folkvet.nu/2012/04/manga-fel-pa-wikipedias-poster-om-alternativmedicin/" target="_blank">their blogg</a> (Swedish link) how Wikipedia and the admins are deleting things written by experts. That group was the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy" target="_blank">homeopathy</a>-likers.<br />
<br />
As an admin on Swedish Wikipedia I answered that they are welcome to write in the articles. If the do not use sources that use scientific methods to prove it will of course be deleted. Wikipedia is a place you shall not write lies on. The blogg seems to refuse to let my comment be visible, therefor I write it here.<br />
<br />
What both the homeopaths and the companies must know is that Wikipedia is not a place for advertising and writing untrue things. We are not censoring facts that you dislike, but are true. If you try to erase it we put it back (and you think we do not listen to you and then we can see that in DN!!!).<br />
<br />
Welcome everyone to write, but do not forget good sources!<br />
<br />
(Update: And please anyone who is an expert on homeopathy, can you try to win the one milion dollar price James Randi talks about<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWqRFKuryqw&feature=share" target="_blank"> in this link</a>? And prove he is wrong about homeopathy, after 12 minutes?

trying to make the Swedish government to change their censoring laws
on aerial photographies. This is one of my assignments for <a href="http://se.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huvudsida" target="_blank">Wikimedia Sverige</a>.<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="en-US"><br /></span><br />
<span lang="en-US">It is an interesting
law. The Swedish army must approve all photos taken from the air
before they are allowed to be spread on the internet, but the law is
only valid for Swedish citizens and if you didn't know about it
you'll not get fined (</span><span lang="en-US"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_2081268116">Link</a> </span><span lang="en-US"><a href="https://lagen.nu/1993:1742#P8" target="_blank">to law in </a>Swedish)! If a non-Swedish citizen put the photo on internet the law
can do nothing. As you probably understands the law was made before
the internet revolution, and now it is time to change it to fit the
society of today.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="en-US">How
toothless the law is you might see by searching on the Swedish map
hitta.se </span><span lang="en-US">and compare with the non-Swedish Google maps. To avoid breaking the law <a href="http://www.idg.se/2.1085/1.210575/forsvaret-vill-slippa-censurera-natet" target="_blank">I use a link</a> to a Swedish paper, IDG, scroll down to the picture.</span><span lang="en-US"> Here you see the same spot on the map. It is the FRA-headquarter in
Stockholm,</span><span lang="en-US"> the difference is clear. Someone is censoring the internet! If the
strange powers are not capable to see the difference here and find
the secret place, then they are not allowed to be called powers.</span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

think it is time for Sweden to step into the 21</span><sup><span lang="en-US">th</span></sup><span lang="en-US">
century, and change it to not let others make fun of us. According to
this paper from 2009 the army itself think it is a silly law and
wants to get rid of it-but as long as it is there they have to follow
it.</span><br />

<span lang="en-US">Update: I did not my research correct. The article above is from 2009, and after that they have "cut of" the imaginary forest on the Swedish maps.

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="en-US">In
the paper edition of <a href="http://www.dn.se/" target="_blank">DN</a> I read about a man who had seen a well
equipped <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putto" target="_blank">cherubs </a>on a house in Stockholm when he was out walking
one day. He wanted to show it for his wife and opened <a href="http://maps.google.se/" target="_blank">Google streetview</a> by editing : <i>Norrbackagatan 22, 113 41 Stockholm, Stockholms län</i></span><span lang="en-US"> on the wall you can only see two gray blurred circles. He was
astonished and looked at the same place (<i>Norrbackagatan 22, 113 41 Stockholm</i>) with <a href="http://hitta.se/">hitta.se</a></span><span lang="en-US">.
There he could show his wife the picture. Another <a href="http://mediasplatter.se/category/sjalvskrivet/" target="_blank">blogger</a> read the
paper too</span><span lang="en-US">.
He checked an address were there are <a href="http://maps.google.se/maps?q=Falugatan,+Stockholm&hl=sv&ie=UTF8&ll=59.345251,18.035619&spn=0.000313,0.002642&sll=61.606396,21.225586&sspn=21.285153,86.572266&oq=falugatan&t=h&hnear=Falugatan,+113+32+Stockholm,+Stockholms+l%C3%A4n&z=19&layer=c&cbll=59.345188,18.035585&panoid=W5PrJ-Px9iUgSaB2QCpBmQ&cbp=12,315.83,,1,1.2" target="_blank">swastikas </a>on the door, from the

In my
opinion none should be censored, but my guess is that the owners of
Google have an own agenda. I hope I am wrong here and that is is just
a mistake that seems to make them look pro-Nazis. Is it the Christian
right in the US that stands for their puritanism or the Catholic
church, who are well known for having helped Nazis to escape to South
America and therefor are guilty for a lot of the torture that these
people did in the name of the dictatorships? Can someone give me and
the readers a clue of how they think?</div>Harald och Marcelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13092634525085168503noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990296362978589876.post-46893136680584784472012-03-06T20:05:00.002+01:002012-03-08T16:13:45.946+01:00Electromagnetic hypersensitivity in Mora part 2After<a href="http://harald-english-karlstad.blogspot.com/2012/01/vof-scientific-knights.html" target="_blank"> this blogg</a> a woman critizised me a lot, while I tried to use science as a weapon.

According to <a href="http://www.dn.se/nyheter/sverige/ingen-stralningsfri-zon-i-mora" target="_blank">DN </a>one of the inhabitants in the village are very happy, because it would be a safety risk for everyone if they closed down the possibility to call 112. According to Tore Fahlström, board member of the Swedish <a href="http://www.feb.nu/" target="_blank">Electromagnetic hypersensitivity-organisation</a> in this <a href="http://www.aftonbladet.se/debatt/article14479056.ab" target="_blank">debate</a> there do exist evidence.

What about my opinion: Do more research, and do not jump into conclusions and bad decisions.<br />

Barack Obama once again stood on the barricades fighting for the <a href="http://cnsnews.com/news/article/obama-defends-roe-v-wade-way-our-daughters-have-same-chance-sons-fulfill-their-dreams" target="_blank">right to own your own body</a>, the 23 of january 2012, by celebration the 39th anniversary of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roe_v._Wade" target="_blank">Wade vs Roe-case</a>. On the other side stands the largest lobbying group you can imagine: The religious fanatics in the Christian Right (CR).<br />
<br />
The ongoing abortion-war is about that Obama wants to have abortions easier to do, with <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2011/10/12/white-house-threatens-to-veto-bill-prohibiting-abortion-funding-in-obamacare/" target="_blank">Obamacare</a>. The health insurance shall help the woman. </div>
<div>
The CR thinks it is unjust towards the unborn baby and talks about<i><a href="http://www.lifenews.com/2012/02/09/attention-obama-we-will-not-be-silent-on-religious-liberty/" target="_blank"> religious freedom</a></i>.<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">Well, lets see what religious freedom is, in my eyes:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">*You have the right to believe in what so ever god/s, or not believe at all.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">*Your believe and actions of your belief shall not hurt or miscredit others.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">*You have the right to change religion without anyone argue you are doing wrong.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">*You are not allowed to force your religion on others.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">So, you in the CR:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">If your daughter believes it is right to make an abortion you shall not stop her. (<a href="http://harald-english-karlstad.blogspot.com/2011/11/initiative-26-law-aganist-abortions.html" target="_blank">even if the Catholic church says something others</a>, with humanae vitae).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">When you, CR says that "most of the people in the US are against abortions you are wrong, according to <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/07/opinion/what-americans-think-about-abortion.html?_r=2&ref=abortion" target="_blank">The New York Times</a>. Only 20 % wants to make it illegal, while 77% wants it to be free!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">This is just the way the CR wants to keep the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriarchy" target="_blank">patriarchy</a>.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">What is most terrible here is that the <a href="http://www.lifenews.com/2012/02/06/judge-will-allow-texas-abortion-ultrasound-law-take-effect/" target="_blank">CR in Texas</a> thinks it is ok to force the woman to do an ultra sound before they do the abortion. On <a href="http://www.lifenews.com/2012/02/09/barbara-walters-heartbreaking-for-women-to-see-ultrasound/" target="_blank">this link</a> you can see the clip when <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joy_Behar" target="_blank">Joy Behar</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Walters" target="_blank">Barbara Walters</a> says it is heartbreaking to force them. I do totaly agree with her, but the most blogs are acting aganist it...</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">Shame on the religion that still tries to enslave people.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">(Most of the links in this post are from anti abortion pages "pro life". Somehow it is easier to find those than the others... Looks like the CR are rich and tries to use its money to get more slaves.</span></span></div>Harald och Marcelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13092634525085168503noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990296362978589876.post-2187951538875264672012-02-01T23:14:00.000+01:002012-02-02T09:47:55.490+01:00ACTA- a reality!<br />
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
In
Swedish “akta” means beware. That is really what we have to do
right now in these times of “over the state” negotiations done by
huge multinational companies together with negotiators from EC and the US under strict confidentiality.</div>

<span lang="en-US"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">If
you need more neutral information about it<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Counterfeiting_Trade_Agreement" target="_blank"> read here</a> (link to Wikipedia), before you proceed. I you remember it Wikipedia did have
a black out the 18</span></span><sup><span lang="en-US"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">th</span></span></sup><span lang="en-US"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">
of January to show what might happen if ACTA and SOPA becomes a
reality, but that should not affect the article because there
everything have to be neutral written. On Wikipedia one user has made a list of everything he could find about ACTA in both Swedish and English, both neutral and NPOV. That list for even more<a href="http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anv%C3%A4ndare:Hannibal/ACTA" target="_blank"> information is here</a>.</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">The
purpose of the ACTA seems to be good-to stop copies of programs and
music that is not bought, so called pirate copies. Why is this ACTA
then such a bad thing?.</span></div>

You might loose your internet connection without a court decision, if
a company thinks you have illegal stuff on your computer. Then it is
up to you to prove they are wrong.</span></div>

This might happen with internet companies too, if they have servers.
They might be stopped even if it is not they who uploaded it to the
server. Just look what happened to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megaupload" target="_blank">Megaupload</a>. They had some illegal
programs (according to FBI). The owner was put in jail and the
servers where closed. Now the companies who started this wants to
erase everything on the servers without people being able to get
their own private things back (that might be private movies and
photos from vacations), this even if the domstol isn't ready yet. Why
do they want to erase evidence? Maybe there were not as much illegal
stuff as they thought? No matter what- They are stealing from the
up-loaders!</span></div>

The costums will be able to control all computers and
USB-sticks while you travel abroad. This means they might use it for
industrial espionage (something that the US would like to do, I'm
sure), but it will also be a humiliation for us ordinary people.</span></div>

If you own equipment that might be used for piracy copying the police
will be obligated to confiscate it. WHAT? Every computer now a days
have R/W DVD-players (DVD-plyers able to copy files). If that part
becomes true I don't know what will happen!!! </span>

list could be even longer, but I stop there to get on with the real
story about ACTA.</span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">Sweden
has signed ACTA, that we are willing to use it when it is ready. That
was done in Japan by our ambassador, <a href="http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lars_Varg%C3%B6" target="_blank">Lars Vargö</a>, educated in Japanese and
orient history, but nothing about computers. As <a href="http://www.dn.se/nyheter/politik/sverige-skrev-under-acta-avtalet" target="_blank">DN</a> writes
(Swedish link) some of the Swedish politicians, like <a href="http://christianengstrom.wordpress.com/2012/01/27/acta-nu-har-det-blivit-aka-av/" target="_blank">Christian Engström</a>, sitting in the
EU did not know anything about the signing! They who are
meant to take decision! That is pretty scary.</span></div>

No thanks!Before I start: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu%27adhin" target="_blank">Muezzin </a>is the person calling for the muslim prayer five times a day in muslim countries.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Some
years ago I lived in an apartment in a small town in the south of
Sweden. I had small children not always sleeping all nights. One
morning, it was a red day in the calendar, I heard loud drums
outside. I woke up to the drums in one ear and a terrified child
screaming in the other. The clock was 7.30 and it was the first of
may. The annual workers demonstration!</span></span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">I
hated it. They may demonstrate, but they do not have to disturb
everybody else in the outskirt of the town while walking to the
square.</span></span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">What
does this have to do with Muslims?</span></span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">A
lot! They are here in Sweden. That's okay, often they are refugees
from what could have been their death in their home countries. I have
no problem with helping them. Of course they shall be able to pray
and hear an imam even in Sweden, just like the Christians have their
masses. </span></span>What
I do not agree with the Muslims in Fittja, south of Stockholm is their effort to have a <a href="http://www.botkyrka.se/Nmndprotokoll/2012-01-26%20Kommunfullm%C3%A4ktige.pdf" target="_blank">muezzin screaming</a> (link is in Swedish to the original paper of the agenda for the meeting 26/1-12) to gather the prayers. But it is not the first time they have asked for this, according to the lokal <a href="http://svt.se/2.33538/1.1815345/moske_vill_ha_boneutrop&from=rss?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Svtse-NyheterABC+%28svt.se+-+Nyheter+ABC%29&utm_content=FeedBurner" target="_blank">TV-chanel ABC</a> they tried 2009 too.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span lang="en-US">The
example above is a good one for me. If you have a believe it should
be your private thing, and you shall not disturb others with it. When
you have loud speakers screaming “Time to pray!” you are
obviously disturbing others, who are not believeing like them. <a href="http://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=105&artikel=3033150" target="_blank">Imam Abboud Sleiman</a> in Karlskrona (Swedish link) seems to be of the same opinion.
He said, 2009, when some people living next to the mosque in
Karlskrona worried: ”The minaret is just a symbol, according to our
religion you are not supposed to disturb others”.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span lang="en-US">guess
one or two muslims will react and say “but the churches are
disturbing with their clocks”. That's right, we have churches in
Sweden, and have had so for more than 1 000 years. It is a long
tradition, and the bells have been ringing since then. Indeed they
too might disturb, even if the <a href="http://www.dagen.se/dagen/article.aspx?id=175189" target="_blank">Christian paper Dagen</a> says the
opposite. That’s why some changes have been made in the <a href="https://lagen.nu/dom/mod/2002:3" target="_blank">law about ringing during night</a> (another boring Swedish link for my englsih speaking readers. it is a court descision). Anyway, it is a huge difference here. This has
never been a muslim country (hand hopefully it will never be it.
Mixed ok, but no muslim laws here, and no muslim “female rights”
either, or lack of rights).</span></span></span></div>

you want to live a pure muslim life with islamic rules and all muslim

hand when they have stolen a piece of candy in the shop, according to
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudud" target="_blank">hudud </a>and the <a href="http://quran.com/5/38" target="_blank">quran 5:38</a>, then stay with us and build something good.
Just remember that our laws are made for the people, not for the
religions. If it is “good” for the religion or the family, but
hurts a person then it is forbidden. If a person not muslim makes a
painting of your prophet, he has done nothing wrong because he/she is
not a muslim. There are tons of pictures of Jesus. It is freedom of
criticize politics and religion that makes you be able to live in
Sweden. Use that freedom in the right way so that nobody tries to
change it to less freedom. </span></span></span>

____________________________________________________________________________<br />
The Swedish organisation <a href="http://www.vof.se/visa-english" target="_blank">VOF</a> is, just like <a href="http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn18780-simon-singh-wins-libel-battle-against-chiropractors.html" target="_blank">Simon Singh</a> and <a href="http://richarddawkins.net/" target="_blank">Richard Dawkins</a>, standing on the barricades fighting for true science and against pseudoscience.<br />
<br />
VOF have <a href="http://www.vof.se/visa-folkbildare" target="_blank">two prices</a> (Swedish link) the give to a person or organisation that have done something for or against science.<br />
The price for <i>best science educator</i> 2011 was Hjärnkontoret, a scientific TV-program for children! (A good one, I've seen it)<br />
The price for <i>largest scientific confuser</i> was given to the politicians in Mora (where the famous <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasaloppet" target="_blank">Vasaloppet </a>ends). They got this well deserved price after ordering the cell-phone antenna in Mora to be adjusted so that a house where a person who says he has <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_hypersensitivity" target="_blank">electromagnetic hypersensitivity</a> lives. Large areas of the town might be in cell-phone shadow efter that. The politicians used, according to VOF "unscientific methods" to understand the problem. According to <a href="http://nyheter24.se/nyheter/inrikes/631932-elallergikern" target="_blank">nyheter24</a> they used google!!! Wonder if they googled to my link above, to Wikipedia. There you might read on "scientific evidence" that there are big doubts that it even exists, and wikipedia gives good links to the reports that show why they write like that!<br />
<br />
Well some people actually believe in this. I happen to be a member of VOF on facebook. There a woman is trying to show the sceptics that they are wrong by giving links to the scientific pages listed on wikipedia as now done correct. She also writes <a href="http://solveig21.mpbloggar.se/2012/01/21/ett-inlagg-jag-skrev-pa-vofs-sida-miljonamnden-i-moraorsa-arets-forvillare-2011/" target="_blank">on her blogg</a> (Swedish link) that because the scientist do not use propper scientific methods you should not use the science for political decisions. Wonder if she thinks like that with all political decisions, or only those who are not going her way!<br />
<br />
I am happy we have science, and what they are saying in this question is that they can not see any clear proof, it looks like it is a mental thing...but we need to investigate it more. Good, because we need to know the truth before we make a decision so that we do not something we have to regret. (IF there were strong indications that it could be true and not mental then it would be correct to use the "environmental laws caution rule" (Miljöbalk 1998:808, 2 kap, 3§)<br />
<br />
The knights of science are needed all over the world to lift us up from ignorance and the will to fool money from people by pseudoscience. It is easy to do that with those who lack education.<br />
(This woman doesn't seem to do that, and she is not trying to earn money here-She really believes in this!)<br />
<br />

_____________________________________________________________________________<br />
<b>Updated</b>:<br />
When I was searching on Google a week later on the name of my blogg I got a hit on her blogg "<a href="http://solveig21.mpbloggar.se/2012/01/23/svar-pa-harlads-blogg-vof-ar-knappast-vetenskapliga-de-ar-sjalva-en-pseudovetenskap/" target="_blank">Mobilstrålningen en påtvingad hälsorisk</a>".<br />
When I read it it was like reading some kind of strange story(exept for the copy and pasted answer she put here). For my english speaking readers: Sorry for answering in Swedish on this thread. The main events in the comments were: She disagree with me, and then she showed some statistics about how high levels of cancer there are among med in different ages in Sweden now. (she had very high numbers) She had read the statistics wrong, and thought that the percentage of men in a group in a certain age was the percentage of cancer. I told her in a humble way that, and after that the discussion ended.<br />
Now to her answer on her blogg:<br />
There she writes that I hide under a pseudoname (this is my real name, and when I posted this on facebook for her to read I used my own private facebook with all informations), pseudoface (do not know what she means here, I had a picture of my own face by then, not this relic from a church in Parinacota, Northen Chile) and that I write pseudoscience.<br />
Then she says that because all journalists listen to VoF:s pseudoscience the great papers in Sweden have lost readers (she mentions the papers with good reputation) because "they are impregnated by a false reallity and lies". Then she says: "<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Det finns något hjärntvättat och avtrubbat över de mest aktiva inom VoF och dess styrelse.</span></i></span>" "There are a look of brain washed and less intelligent over the most active and the board in VoF" (My guess is that she means that I am one of them, but I am not a member.)<br />
Then it was just some more, but this tells very much what kind of person she is when she finds someone who do not agree with her.<br />
<br />
My reply: I feel pity for a person who acts like this, so I let her be. Hopefully she'll find pece in her heart sometime, and not keep this anger within, because that is not good.<br />
<br />
We have an expression in Sweden: "Empty barrels sounds more than full ones"...<br />
<br />
<b>Update2</b>: For viewers coming from Solvieg Silverins page- When she wrote about me and wrote "pseudoface" I had a picture of myselfs here, and I was open with who I am. After that crazy talking, and in my view threatening I descided to change my picture to the relique from Parinacota... to protect my children from eventual crazy people.Harald och Marcelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13092634525085168503noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990296362978589876.post-73279102858038915562012-01-22T22:02:00.001+01:002012-01-22T22:02:15.090+01:00Why Things Break<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">
This is an essay I wrote during my english class. The subject was "Why things break". My aproach was a little bit different, but I had fun writing it. Enjoy:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">
__________________________________________________________________________</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">
Whether
you believe in the laws of physics or a creating God, everything
started in order - either in the gardens of Eden or in the tiny tiny
nothing before the Big Bang. Ever since things are doing their best
to reach a <span style="text-decoration: none;">state</span>
of disorder. The more disorder there <span style="text-decoration: none;">is
</span>in the universe the
less entropy and the more <span style="text-decoration: none;">satisfied
all the small atoms are,</span>
just following the laws of physics.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
How
does this disorder thing affect us humans? To be able to create all
the wonders the human race have done since the dawn of time we have
been forced to create a bigger disorder elsewhere, for instance by
using fire to make glass we throw away energy, in the form of heat,
out in the space. We then make order in the disorder, but the laws of
physics are not turned <span style="text-decoration: none;">off</span>
by our efforts. Even if the atoms in for example glass are stuck
together by small forces they have Freddy Mercury’s voice in Queen
programmed into their imaginary brains: “I want to break free”.
They <span style="text-decoration: none;">therefore</span>
try to follow the political history during the twentieth century: “It
is nice to be here together in an 'all are equal' communistic way”,
feels good for them in the beginning, until... they can feel the
breeze of freedom from touching their neighbors all the time when
they pass the edge of the table and <span style="text-decoration: none;">starts</span>
to fall towards the floor. “I want my liberal rights to be free
from everyone and and follow my own path, as long as I do not have a
negative impact on others!” becomes their new motto for a short
period of history. The liberal thoughts suddenly makes them think in
egoistic ways, and the dream of independence starts to shout out loud
in the break of the glass: “I want anarchy, no-one and nothing
shall affect me and my way!”, and then, suddenly, there will be
silence for a while in the anarchistic atoms when they notice they
are all alone and have nothing left more than the dead space around.
Then the atomistic fun is over, for the time being, and the political
history of the humans turns into economics.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
When the atoms are
on that level of breaking apart, on what level are then the humans?
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The human race
think they ARE the order of the universe, looking like Gods -
according to their holy books - and trying to force every little atom
to follow their will, but that is just an illusion. Even on this
level of order in the universe the law of disorder are working slowly
but effective to separate and make the amount of disorder higher and
higher all the time.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
When you look upon
a family you might see that two adults have come together as two
primary sub-units in one. Later it might be even more sub-units,
secondary, working together as one. Everything looks good on the
surface, but deep inside the sub-units there are forces that are
working to make more disorder – to separate them from each other -
to make the family-thing break.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
There are two ways
a family might break:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The first way of
breaking is when the children, the secondary sub-units, are old
enough to try to start an own family-unit. Then the family breaks
apart in a happy break up party, celebrating that more disorder have
been reached in the universe.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Sometimes it is
the primary family-sub-units that are not fitting together any longer
resulting in a breaking apart that will not, in most cases, end with
the happy kind of “disorder in the universe”-party. This will
instead result in even more disorder than the first way. Other
sub-units in other families will be affected in different ways making
the original break-up to be new problems for them, because they might
side with different parts in the conflict- This suits the physical
law of disorder perfectly, speeding up the universe physical aim: to
break apart more and get colder, that means higher entropy.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
To be able to
construct things physically or mentally you always have to learn
science to get a better understanding why things break. When you have
learned this you will be able to construct better things that will
not break as easy as before, working against the laws of physics but
favoring your creativity as a technician and the order around you. </div>Harald och Marcelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13092634525085168503noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990296362978589876.post-65533922236458456572012-01-20T16:01:00.002+01:002012-01-20T16:01:24.181+01:00Sex and politics<br />
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Again the republican
election makes scandals. This time it is about Newt Gingrich. I know
nothing about his political ambitions, so I will not touch that here.
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
What I know something
about is sex and Gingrich.
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
According to CNN his ex
wife said yesterday in <a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2012/01/19/politics/gingrich-wife/index.html" target="_blank">an interview</a> that he wanted to have an open
relationship. That will be the issue for today.</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I am divorced. I have a
new wonderful love. Nothing strange with that in Sweden, but if I
lived in a place where the Christian right or the Catholics were
strong they would say I am a sinner.</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Gingrich is where the
Christian right is very strong now. Being divorced is not good for
them looking in the Bible.</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The other problem by being
divorced is that you have an ex-something. Even if you divorce in a
nice manners sooner or later jealousity that your former loved one
has a new lover will make you say and do things not worthy an adult.
I know it, I am divorced, and now Gingrich notices it too. His ex
wife did not like that he found a new beloved one while she still
loved him. Now she has the chance to get her revenge.</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>Lets look at the open
relationship now.</b></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Isn't that a private thing
if they discussed that? A lot of couples have open relationships, and
that is not my or any one else's business. She didn't like the idea
and he accepted by divorcing her and choosed his new wife. Fine, lets
get over it. It is a big difference between “open relationship”
and “bomb Iran, start a war” like
<span style="background-color: #fff9ee; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Rick Santorum</span> wants to do. I feel pity for Newt maybe loosing for this reason (love) while his opponent <span style="background-color: #fff9ee; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Santorum</span> wins because of war</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>Lets look at sex now.</b></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
How a person have sex,
with one or two persons at the same time or with a man or woman, that
is their private stuff (as long as it is not child abuse or rape).
Noone else are allowed to interfear in that. To loose an election
because you had sex with your wife to be is sick. Lets hope that the
US understands that (they won't he will loose).</div>Harald och Marcelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13092634525085168503noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990296362978589876.post-35745044568305216542012-01-19T21:43:00.001+01:002012-01-19T21:43:19.467+01:00Why not study!<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
As a teacher I had a lot
of reasons why you should study, but now I am not working as a
teacher and have to rearrange my thinking. Therefor I will give you
some reasons why not study, but I am a little bit ironic.</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>1. The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Besserwisser" target="_blank">Besserwisser </a>reason</b></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
When you know a lot
everyone will ask you for help, because they know a lot. For the same
reason they will sometimes be crossed because they think you are
bragging when you happen to correct your friends when they are wrong.
You'll loose your friends and feel miserable.</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>2. The know a lot reason</b></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
When you know a lot you
will often hear things that are incorrect. You might want to correct
it, but because of knowing reason 1 you are quiet. Not being able to
talk makes you frustrated, being frustrated makes you irritated.
Being irritated often makes you a miserable person.
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>3. The well educated work
reason</b></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Being well educated and
knowing a lot gives you works where they demand that you use your
brain. That is not wrong, but you'll have a hard time not to think
about the intelligence demanding issues even after work is over.
Having a work not demanding any brain activity, like a disher or
cleaning-lady (-man), you'll quit work the moment you leave it for the
day. You'll have the rest of the day of. So, do you want to work
every hour awake, but only getting paid for the time on the work, or
do you want to have own time?</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>4. The religious reason</b></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The more you know, the
less is left for a divine creature to take care of. Earlier in the
human history it was up to the God(s) if you survived or not, while
it is up to the doctors now. A person knowing a lot knows this and a
lot of other things that makes a divine creature harder and harder to
believe in. This makes it hard, because you then have to think with
your conscience, while a religious person will give all problems and
sins the the God(s). That is easier and gives a good pay check in the
life after. Instead you'll have to take care of your mistakes and
faults, and that might make you feel miserable.</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>5. The dictatorship reason</b></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
It is a fact that in all
dictatorships the regimes are afraid for the student, the persons
that knows a lot and therefor understands it is wrong and have ways
to solve it. Just look at Chile and how the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direcci%C3%B3n_de_Inteligencia_Nacional" target="_blank">DINA </a>attacked the
students, and still is doing it. If you want to live do not learn a
lot, but be a pacharon, they will survive.</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>6. The democratic reason</b></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Living in a democracy
you'll have to elect the leaders. Knowing a lot you'll see nobody are
fit for being the president (just look at the republican election in
the US right now, the yesterday blogg entry in the end). You have to
choose to skip the election and get an idiot as a president (The US
was afraid for their enemies so they tried to hide behind the Bushes.
This was not <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_bush" target="_blank">the burning bush of Moses</a>, but the Bushes who made the
world burn). Then you might try to candidate for the president post.
That is not good, because you know too much and therefor you'll be
honest and tell the people the truth. They do not want the truth
(learning), but stories (fairy tales from Hollywood). That's why <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Gore" target="_blank">Al Gore</a> lost against the small Bush-He said the truth about the environment.
You'll just feel miserable and loose all hope for mankind, hoping
“womankind” will heal the world.</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>7. The environmental
reason</b></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
When you know a lot you'll
understand what happens to the world whit great storms and dead
forests, and know what to do to save the world. By trying that, and
notice that nobody else cares (they do not understand) you'll get
frustrated and trying harder. In other peoples eyes you'll look like
one of the strange persons you shall avoid, and you'll loose all your
ignorant friends being alone in your little healthy world. Loneliness
makes you depressed and miserable.
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>8. The health reason</b></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Knowing everything about
food, and how dangerous it is to eat it will make you very careful
cooking and eating. You do not want to eat things that might cause
cancer or other strange things with your body-even vegetables might
do it from the insecticides. This will stop you from the social life
by not being able to eat at a restaurant or when visiting your
friends. You'll be a prisoner in the health-prison loosing your
friends that feel bad when you don't like their food. Loosing friends
will make you feel miserable.
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>The child reason</b></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
You'll probably get
children. Knowing a lot will force you to help your children with
their homework. Helping them with that will make it hard for you to
have your own time in front of the internet reading things like this.
That will make you start thinking why you ever got children (you know
how to protect you because you know a lot). Thinking like that about
your children will make you feel miserable.</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>10. The miserable reason</b></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
By knowing all the
paragraphs above you'll feel miserable. Who wants to be miserable?
Stop study and get a life...</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">The reason all the
paragraphs above is crap:</span></b></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Study hard and be master
over your own life. Do not let anyone boss with you without any
reason. The more you know the better you'll manage in all situations.
Only you may change your life for the better. And about religion:You
alone choose to believe or not, but make sure (by learning a lot)
that you are not jumping into any sects fooling you...</div>Harald och Marcelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13092634525085168503noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990296362978589876.post-52335383742546442842012-01-18T22:24:00.002+01:002012-03-09T21:20:23.088+01:00Christianity, Good or Evil?For me it doesn't matter which religion, they can not be good or evil. A religion is a belief persons have to explain things that is hard to understand and feel easier that they have someone protecting them (in different ways depending on religion).<br />
<br />
Why good or evil then? Well, after reading one of the largest Swedish newspapers today (Dagens nyheter, DN, links futher down) I saw two articles about Christians. That will be the theme today.<br />
<br />
The first article which was terrible and no funny reading, but it made me think about all those brave people who does everything for others. They are the good. An example is a dear ex college who moved to Kongo-Kinshasa to help build up the school system after the war. She is good hearted.<br />
Bartolomé de las Casas did also his best to protect and help the native americans 1512-66. He wrote books and made so that the king changed laws to make it better for them than when the conquistadores were killing with no mercy for gold.<br />
<br />
The no mercy killing was what that article was about: "<a href="http://www.dn.se/ledare/signerat/bryt-tystnaden-om-vald-mot-kristna" target="_blank">Break the silence about the killing of Christians</a>" (Swedish link). <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/religion/8120142/Christian-woman-sentenced-to-death-in-Pakistan-for-blasphemy.html" target="_blank">Asia Bibi</a> is a Pakistanian Christian woman, mother of five, who was in an argue about water. According to some muslim women she said something about Muhammed and therefor she sits in prison now waiting for her hanging. It is a capital punishment for blasphemy there. According to this article in DN she is just one example among 105 000 Christians killed every year. Reason: They are Chritistians! I use to write what I do not like with the pope and why (see previous posts about Character Indebilis), but writing about Mrs Bibi I have to mention that <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/pakistan/8142127/Pope-Benedict-XVI-calls-for-release-of-Christian-sentenced-to-hang-in-Pakistan.html" target="_blank">pope Benedictus XVI</a> tries to help her!<br />
<br />
The DN-article proceeds that the problem is that when talking about Christianity everyone thinks about the west, Europe and USA, and what they have done duting the history: Crusades, inquisition, colonialism and slavery. True, but not true... The average Christian is a colored woman from Nigeria (DN-article), and there are a lot of Christians in Africa, South America (also suffering a lott from Europe/USA even nowadays) and Asia. They need to be seen, especially Africa and Middle east. 100 years ago 20 % of the people living in the Middle east (Arabic countries and the birth place of Christianity), now it is only 5% Horrible numbers telling us about suffering, killing and forced escape to strange places. <br />
WE NEED TO OPEN OUR EYES AND HELP!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.dn.se/nyheter/varlden/har-ar-guds-ord-lag--och-santorum-kung" target="_blank">The other article</a> is about those Christians that the Middle east thinks about when talking about Christians: The Christian right in the US! This DN-article is about a family who can not vote on Mitt Romney because he is a mormon (that means according to them: Not Christian, according to other religions: a branch of Christians). They want to vote on the republican Rick Santorum, Catholic.<br />
<br />
What wants Santorum?<br />
First of all he Do not want women to be able to do abortions. (what about a girl raped by his father and pregnant? Is she allowed? Nope, read a previous article)<br />
Second: He will fight for the moral and the family. (Sounds ok, but if you read about the family-issues in the Christian right that means the woman will have to step back and leave a lot of her rights. That is not good. They are equal to me!)<br />
Third: He wants to <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/30/rick-santorum-creationism_n_1120766.html" target="_blank">teach Creationism</a> in school (what I wrote about yesterday). If you believe in the evolution you are on the left, left means communist, you are dangerous.<br />
Forth, and most dangerous: His way to approach Iran is like he wants to start a war. Saying, according to <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/01/santorum-says-he-would-bomb-irans-nuclear-plants/" target="_blank">ABC</a> <span style="font-family: inherit;">"<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">On occasion, scientists working on the nuclear program in Iran turn up dead. I think that’s a wonderful thing, candidly</span>" and "<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">We will degrade those facilities through airstrikes, and make it very public that we are doing that</span>" is not a good way of negotiate, but on <a href="http://www.ricksantorum.com/response-iran" target="_blank">his own page</a> he writes"<span style="color: #666666; line-height: 18px;">Refuse to negotiate on any level with the terrorist state of Iran</span>"</span> (Childish. The next president of the US?)<br />
<br />
In the book "Kristendomens historia" I read about what Martin Luther thought according to the church and the state. I want you readers to be able to also see it, therefor I use <a href="http://halfpinthouse.wordpress.com/2006/02/15/martin-luther-on-church-and-state/" target="_blank">this blogg</a> to explain it. It tells the same thing. If you are a Lutheran, protestant, you shall think about the two Kingdoms that God created. The church and the state. They are separated and should not be mixed. That means that a Christian may not require that the state is governed by a fellow Christian. The leader shall not follow the Gospel, but the law.<br />
<br />
Why have the US stopped thinking about that?<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Learn this:</span></b><br />
<br />
Please everyone stop telling how a Christian is. Look at my examples and you may see all kind of people, from helpers and suffering women to Christians that says it is wonderful that a person is killed. Judge everyone after what he/she does and says, not according to religion.Harald och Marcelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13092634525085168503noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990296362978589876.post-63528091114044417662012-01-18T00:29:00.003+01:002012-01-18T00:29:48.933+01:00SOPA, Christian right and CensoringCensoring is a popular activity among groups having their own beliefs, but are troubled by what the science reveals.

They, USA, have their <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_right" target="_blank">Christian right</a> (opposite of left). They are very concerned about the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_theory" target="_blank">evolution theory</a> and tries by all means to stop it and other scientific proved issues. Here are three of their atempts.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creationism" target="_blank">Creationistic </a>science books</span></b><br />
<br />
In the US there are approved to educate the children at home, or put them in religious schools. There are not much controll of the home education and the religious schools are not controlled as hard as in Sweden (I have worked in a muslim school in Sweden...I did teach about the real evolution and about the sexuallity. No problems). There are even school books written in pure creationistic views, harming the children by not letting them see what others believe. Thank God (?) there exists people like the one who writes the blogg <a href="http://www.11points.com/Books/11_Eye-Opening_Highlights_From_a_Creationist_Science_Textbook" target="_blank">11 points</a> to make others be aware of what is happening. It is dangerous, and 45 seconds into <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-QWv_0Mjq0" target="_blank">this video</a> you'll see the result.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_design" target="_blank">Intelligent design</a> equal to the evolution</span></b><br />
<br />
In 2005 the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansas_evolution_hearings" target="_blank">Kansas state board of education</a> tried to discredit the evolution by introducing the ID:s <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teach_the_Controversy" target="_blank">teaching method</a>. One student at the Oregon state University, Bobby Henderson, wrote an open letter to the board saying he wanted to have equal time for his religion too. Noone had ever heard of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Spaghetti_Monster" target="_blank">The Church of the Flying Spaghetti monster</a>, and the board did not answer. Bobby published the letter on the net, and it became a success! The board lost the case. Thanks Bobby!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOPA" target="_blank"><b><span style="font-size: large;">SOPA</span></b></a><br />
<br />
SOPA is, according to what they write, something to protect copywrite materials. As it works it also helps the christian right to be able to use the SOPA-law to try to stop web pages with materials they do not like. Wikipedia for instans will probably be one of the first pages to be closed. Even other pages that are not having any illegal materials on it will maybe be forced to closed just because they links to a page with illegal materials, according to <a href="http://www.newsmill.se/artikel/2012/01/17/d-rf-r-st-nger-vi-ner-wikipedia" target="_blank">Lennart Guldbrandsson</a> (Swedish link) on the Swedish Wikimedia. As a result of this, and to try to succeed as good as Bobby and 11 points did, the english Wikipedia will have a total blackout 18th of January to show what will come if we let the US censor the internet. Here are the <a href="http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/English_Wikipedia_anti-SOPA_blackout" target="_blank">English wikimedia explanation</a>.<br />
What is a little bit confusing is why the US where talking about "Freedom of speech" during the Arabian spring", while themselves tries to stop those rights.<br />
<br />
<br />
Lets hope our army of scientists and people searching for the truth will be able to stop this and make the world enter a new era. I think of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Dawkins" target="_blank">Richard Dawkins</a> (evolution), <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Singh" target="_blank">Simon Singh</a> (fighting against the <a href="http://www.senseaboutscience.org/pages/history-behind-keep-libel-laws-out-of-science-.html" target="_blank">chiropractics</a>) and <a href="http://www.vof.se/visa-english" target="_blank">VOF</a> (Swedish sceptics) and many more.Harald och Marcelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13092634525085168503noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990296362978589876.post-9802309117094404812012-01-12T21:23:00.000+01:002012-01-12T21:23:55.814+01:00MapucheOnce again chilean police have done it... On this <a href="http://www.portalnet.cl/comunidad/general-y-actualidad.350/867101-video-golpiza-madre-mapuche-con-nino-en-brazos.html" target="_blank">film</a> you see how a woman holding a baby is hit by the police in the south of Chile. (The same clip on youtube is cencored, you must log in because it is violent!) According to this <a href="http://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=1646&artikel=4902887" target="_blank">Swedish link</a>, from the Swedish radio, it is all about that the Mapuche, a tribe in the south, wants to keep their land. The government wants the land and the forest to build an airport and to sell it to companies. Threfor the government has mentioned that it is the Mapuche who has put the forest on fire. That is outrageuos, and a crime to their belief.<br />
<br />
What is not written on that link is that the government uses the terrorist laws the dictator Pinochet made against the people on the left. That means that if a Mapuche complains he/she might be put in prisson without any trail for years- it is a terrorist!!!<br />
<br />
Hope more and more non-mapuche reacts and lets their government know. For the cause of justice!Harald och Marcelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13092634525085168503noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990296362978589876.post-26602913713857106412012-01-12T20:12:00.000+01:002012-01-13T02:09:55.828+01:00Niqab in school, muslim dressingAfter a long quiet period has the Skolverket (Swedish schoolboard) come to a conclusion about the <a href="http://www.skolverket.se/polopoly_fs/1.165937!Menu/article/attachment/Helt%C3%A4ckande%20sl%C3%B6ja%20slutlig.pdf" target="_blank">niqab in school</a> (Swedish link).<br />
<br />
I am astonished and ashamed about what they write: First of all they say it is okey to use it, and you are not, as a school, allowed to have a rule against it. (Of course, when you are not in school I do not care, use it or loose it. Not my buissness). According to <a href="http://www.aftonbladet.se/kultur/article14199079.ab" target="_blank">Aftonbladet</a> (Swedish link) the case that skolverket uses where not even evaluated by the Swedish court-system. They where to afraid for beeing called racists, and now the teachers have to say "No, you may not use niqab in my classroom"<br />
<br />
<b>Why am I rejecting it in school?</b><br />
Well, as a teacher you need to meet the student and see that she understands and really have good contact with her. There are alse the governmental issue. As a teacher you are obliged to grade your students. How will you be able to make sure that the student in niqab, doing the test, is the right person? Having a femal "peeper" looking behind the niqab every lesson? That is a terrible thought.<br />
To make my point even stronger. When I worked at <a href="http://www.alazharskolan.com/" target="_blank">Al Azharskolan</a>, a muslim school, the headmaster said it was forbidden of the same reasons I wrote above. Why shall then we non-muslims at all discuss this issue? If the own people says it is wrong in school for the students (exept for a small extreme group).<br />
Finally: If you use it during an experiment in chemistry it will make it more dangerous because you can not see as good as others when things happens.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Muslim dressing</b><br />
What's this?<br />
well that is clothes that muslim people wear. Nothing strange, mostly. The niqab is in the eyes of the west a way to supress the woman. (And as far as I know it is not mentioned in the quran at all)<br />
<a href="http://www.patheos.com/blogs/mmw/2010/10/m-i-a-wears-a-niqab/" target="_blank">M.I.A</a> used a niqab in a posé whit a finger up high. on the blogg discussion some muslims said it is wrong to dress in muslim clothes if you are not a muslim. Why? I do not care about the religious beliefs and may dress as I want. (One answered if they think you have to be a rastafari to listen to Bob Marley. Good point. While anotherone posted <a href="http://muslimswearingthings.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">this link</a>, showing that muslims dress as they want and there are noone who shall tell them how to dress (not even other muslims). Right there!!! We are all free (exept for some million supressed women all over the world, often with different religions as a weapon to make noone dare to say stop<br />

Yesterday I had to put some money on my account in the bank. That should not be a big problem, I thought!<br />
While I live in south of Stockholm I went to the bank in the biggest shopping mall close to mine: Skärholmen. There I entered the bank. It was full. A lot of people who wanted to do their things, and a big note telling us that "This is a cash free bank. You can not insert money here", it said. Great information given, and no info where I could do it. I left and had to go to the center of Stockholm, there I walked 10 minutes until I came to another "Sparbank". There I could insert my money, and I asked where in the south of Stockholm it would be possible. On the "red line", the metro, you can not do it anywhere all the 45 minutes long metro-line. They have closed that choise. If you want to do this bank-issue you have to go app 50 minutes, or take a buss in wrong direction.<br />
<br />
What's wrong with Sweden when the banks are not there for their costumers?<br />
Don't they want my money?<br />
<br />
This is a big joke, that I did not laugh at!Harald och Marcelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13092634525085168503noreply@blogger.com0
