  • This makes me think about The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and the dolphins escaping the planet earth before it was destroyed.

  • You know. I have two options in my life. One is to stay Swedish and move back to Sweden. However I don’t really feel that is much of an option. I want to stay in the USA and fight to get this country back to where it was supposed to be. A country where the people is dedicated to God and his blessings will again be poured out upon us.

  • @RedDawn2012
    I’m not blaming anyone. Just saying that Sweden had prayer far longer in schools than the USA. However I’m totally for homeschooling. Or at least until schools drops the brainwashing procedures and teaches facts. That includes removing the Theory of Evolution.

  • You know. Being Swedish and living in the USA I say “Good for them!”. I love my mother land. However. I am living in the USA for a reason. This is the blessed country. We have God given rights, and we need to protect them. Sweden is built in a way that both parents are at work so that the kids can be taught by strangers. I was blessed that even if our family had limited means, I was raised with my mother at home. However when I went to school, church was a part of it. We did our graduation in church, we celebrated Christmas in the church, and we even prayed for our food before we went for lunch. That is not the case any more. I think that even if this article is about home schooling and how we have the right to teach our children here in the USA, it wasn’t that long ago when church and God was actually a part of the public school system in Sweden. I think that the USA progressive anti religion in the schools has effected Europe in a negative way as well.

    So in other words. It is ridiculous that Sweden are mandating out of home education, but it is a heavy blow to the public school system when the church got kicked out following the USA’s example.

    My 2 cents for the family is to start a private jewish school, invited a few other families to participate, and the city council has nothing to complain about.

  • @Totally Domestic
    Where did you hear it? I want the reference. Have someone to send it to.

  • This makes me miss Sweden. It is just amazing to stand outside watching the northern lights.

  • You know. I’m Swedish. When Sweden voted to join the European Union, I was disgusted. I was too young to vote at the time. But I saw it coming. Trying to create a balance to the USA with so many different cultures were doomed to fail. My idea would have been much much better. The Scandinavian countries were already in an open border and open trade agreement. I could have gone to any of them and worked. We could have made a stronger pact between each other, where we were a tighter group. If we would have done that, we would have been set. Instead we joined something that would not work. I am just happier that they came to their senses when the Euro was voted on. At least we stayed out of that one. Oh well. Soon I won’t have to worry. :)

  • This just tells me that studying for tests is less than useful.

  • The email continues. It has some scary things in it. And I can see Harry Reid get this through the Senate as it will get a list of all concealed weapons permits holders in the nation. It is one more step towards gun registration. Our 2nd amendment right is not protected by this bill but another way of taking our guns away…

  • I got this in the email the other day.

    I was right to be concerned.

    Not only was H.R. 822 — the Trojan horse gun control bill — passed out of the House of Representatives this evening, it was passed with an amendment that would open the door to federal biometric requirements for concealed firearms permits and a federally-administered database of all permit holders.

    Only 7 Republican Members of Congress stood against federal overreach in the concealed carry process by opposing this bill (you can see how your Representative voted here: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2011/roll852.xml).

    The bill was amended this afternoon by ostensibly “pro-gun” Republicans to require a study be done on the ability of law enforcement officers to verify the validity of out-of-state concealed firearm permits.

    You and I both know what this means. A year from now, the study will come back stating that the only way to “verify” out-of-state permits is through federally-mandated biometric requirements for concealed firearm permits and Congress “must” create a nationally administered database of all concealed weapon permit holders.

    One of my biggest concerns about this bill — the lists of gun owners a permit process creates — should send shivers down your spine: Imagine Eric Holder and the BATFE with a national database of concealed carry permit holders.
