We give you thanks for the renewal of that life and love in Mary Christine Callahan, who now takes on a new name.” The new name was Asher.” Names are important. To many people to be baptised with your name is important. It is a sacred mystery how some names attached with greatness shows up in history. Coincidences, probably, but interesting, the same. Read on. St Petersburg was founded by Tsar Peter the Great. Peter was the founder of modern Russian bureaucracy (please wikipedia “Peter the Great” and “St Petersburg”) That is funny, because the name Peter comes from Petrus which means “rock”. In Christianity Saint Peter (another Peter) is well respected. Saint Peter (Latin: Petrus, Greek: Πέτρος Petros, also known as Simon Peter, Simeon, or Simōn, according to the New Testament, was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ, leaders of the early Christian Church. The Roman Catholic Church considers him to be the first Pope, ordained by Jesus in the "Rock of My Church" dialogue in Matthew 16:18. The ancient Christian churches all venerate Peter as a major saint and associate him with founding the Church of Antioch and later the Church in Rome,[3] but differ about the authority of his various successors in present-day Christianity. (wikipedia Saint Peter) Saint Peter is said to be the keeper of keys to Heaven. In Sweden Saint Peter is referred to as Saint Per, my name. Today’s date (1 Aug) is dedicated to the name Per, most days in the year have one or more names attached to that day in Sweden. Keep the good culture.

She was a Jew, who wrote in a diary about the atrocities by the Nazis. She live in a home of people who wanted to protect her. Now imagine the Nazi had a campaign of knocking the doors of people, looking for hidden Jews. They would ask a simple question, “Do you have any Jews here?”. Now if they knocked the door of the home of Anne Frank, what would the residents answer. If they would be good Christinas, they would always speak the truth (ten commandments), and say “Yes”. Or would they say “I do not want to answer that question”. Or be silent and close the door. All these responses would cause the Nazis to search the premises. The right answer would be to lie, smile and say “No, of course not, I hate the filthy Jews.” This would save her life. A lie would save her life. Life is complicated, eh? Keep the good culture.

Many lions are shot each year in Africa, for a license fee. The issue is therefore not to shoot a lion. It has to do with the name "Cecil". Why is "Cecil" so important name? Cecil Rhodes the form Rhodesia, Zimbabwe now. I bet it has to do with the name somehow. Speaking of names, if someone makes a good name on these comment fields by making excellent posts, a tip would be to quote those posts to friends and family, and leaving out the name and referring to something like "Mobile Poster" posted this. Thus in you friends eyes, "Mobile Poster" is a great person. Then you say to your friends, all of a sudden, "Peter" is "Mobile Poster". You have made a deal with Peter, that you share the glory, by him referring to you as a great person, which will be believed since they by then will adore Peter. Smart.

This is an acronym for Happy UNDEr Content. View in discussion Per Per a year ago As you can see from the definition of the word "hunt", below, hunting foxes (and deer, hare) with dogs from a horseback has a word in English dedicated - "hunt" (in Britain - see USAGE below) Thus fox hunting is deeply engraved in English culture. You might say we should not ban something that is so well founded in language.

You'll have to trap them in cotton thread USAGE In Britain anyone going after animals or (more often) birds with a gun says I'm going shooting; to go hunting means using a number of dogs (HOUNDS) to chase the animal (a fox, deer, or HARE). One usually rides after these dogs on a horse. In the US, the word hunting is used for both these sports. (s: LONGMAN DICTIONARY OF CONTEMPORARY ENGLISH) View in discussion Per Per a year ago This is my speculation, The reason Labour banned hunting, was not that much thought of the foxes, but rather that they loathed that the aristocracy should enjoy themselves that much at the poor foxes expense. 5 View in discussion Discussion on Telegraph 408 comments The lessons of Libya Per Per a year ago Britain and her allies defeated Ghadaffi's Libya.

First deposits. If you deposit money you have to pay money to deposit. With a negative interest you pay for the safety of having the money stored there. The motivation for negative interest is push people from storing money at a bank and instead invest directly into companies, since the relative return on capital is increased (but the risk is higher to invest in companies usually, compared to save money in an account) Secondly, if you have very low inflation or even deflation (thus money becomes more worth with time) then the relative loss of lending money is less than if you have high inflation and higher interest rates. It is part of Keynesian economics theory of monetary policy, you lower interest rates to stimulate the economy and increase inflation, even to the point of having negative interest rates, if necessary. 6 View in discussion Per Per Aaron M a year ago Well the problem is not that alarming.

To help good and hope, I have written the following, 20 Jan 2015 Stuck with wrong people at the job? Do you find some people annoying or irritating at your job? Would you like to be able to form a “dream team” of people who you really like and where the chemistry of characters plays like a piano, and where this “dream team” is an everyday occurrence going to the job? Like the opportunity to meet new people who you love to bits, and then keep those relations? This is a possibility with LOTTA. Inequality is troubling our world. 1% of the richest in the world owns almost as much as the rest (99%). Is there a natural way to solve this problem? Yes there is. The solution is to form competition to the rich people’s income generating opportunities. The government would in a natural way encourage competences to compete with monopolies, and thus greatly reduce the profit margin for these monopolies, since the “seller’s market” turns into a “buyer’s market”. What is a “seller’s market”? It is market where the seller of goods and services are able to set prices freely in order to maximise profit. This happens in monopolies. What is “buyer’s market”? This is a market where the buyers (consumers) set the prices by choosing the product of best bang for the buck, through competition between several suppliers of products. There is a huge difference between “seller’s market” and “buyer’s market”. Food is basically “buyer’s market”. Imagine a monopoly of a food producer. They could extort the market to astronomical prices of food, since one needs this to survive and will pay the price demanded by the monopoly in order not to starve. This is not the case in todays world since we have competition in the food market, thus a “buyer’s market”. Thus competition is good. Where there are monopolies rich get richer. Thus 1% of the worlds population are so rich because they have control over the market. The government could mitigate this by forming companies that compete naturally with those profit margins of the super rich, and their riches would therefore be under pressure. This active forming of competing companies by the government has the positive side effect that the companies that the government form will probably be highly profitable since they enter a market that is highly profitable (what it comes down to is having the right people with right knowledge). Thus a government economic catalyst through initiatives. LOTTA is a natural idea to realise this. Want more excitement and enjoyment of your ability? Imagine going to a job with work mates that you enjoy the company of and face challenges together and solve the problems together. Self-esteem comes from challenges in work that you win over. These “wins” you can and should remember, and this causes you to feel better of yourself. LOTTA is a natural construct that can enable this for you. What is LOTTA? Read on. I believe UK could be the richest per capita nation in the world by 2030. There is hope. Let me present LOTTA, “Labour Organising Trust Through Agreements”. 1. Let people freely send in business ideas to this trust, through the internet. Encrypted communications to make valuable business ideas remain as secret as possible. The contributors are promised stocks in future companies based on these ideas, as a compensation, and the trust enforce this. The trust organises a easily searchable database of business ideas. 2. Let people, unemployed, new business seekers, people with employment that want to try their wings, pensioners looking for additional income, etc, apply to form teams with others; these teams form naturally through internet communications where each and everyone’s credentials and competence are shown. 3. Let these teams see a select portion of the business idea database. The originator/originators of the business ideas have to acknowledge the team using the idea. 4. To finance this use tax money or investors money, let taxpayers vote through internet at the LOTTA site on these teams with selected business ideas. If a taxpayer votes correctly, and the resulting business idea through a resulting stock company shows profit after some time (say 5 years), the taxpayer gets tax reductions/pay outs according how well the market value of the company is. Just by voting right, and each taxpayer should pay attention to read, analyse, and question each prospective team/prospective company with the right business idea before voting. If he or she votes incorrectly he or she will be punished by increased tax. What do you think? (Send your local politician an email today.

What you get for your work hour is thus 80% more now in products and services, than in 1974. Agriculture is more productive now than in 1974. Thus you get more wheat flower for your hour of work now than in 1974. However, labour intense services, such as sweeping your pool, is not more productive now than in 1974. And since the pool sweeper has followed the 80% increase in wages, the pool sweeping is not cheaper now than in 1974 (in 1974 currency).

In a way, gold is a fiat currency, since the faith in gold is based on historical ground rather than its technical usefulness in electronics manufacturing of contacts etc. FOR A FIAT CURRENCY TO BE USEFUL AS A MEANS OF PAYMENT, IT HAS TO BE LIMITED. GOLD HAS THIS NATURALLY (AND THUS IS NOT A FIAT CURRENCY), BUT OTHER FIAT CURRENCIES NEED MANAGEMENT OF THIS CHARACTERISTIC. GOLD HAS A NATURAL ENEMY IN THE FUTURE. MINING OF GOLD IN EXTRATERRESTRIAL BODIES. THUS CAUSING INFLATION OF GOLD, AND THUS CONFIDENCE OF GOLD AS A CURRENCY. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED WHEN THE SPANISH BROUGHT IN GOLD FROM SOUTH AMERICAN COLONIES. 4 View in discussion Per Per a year ago FIAT means "becomes" in latin. Conventions is very important, and it is this that gives the dollar, the pound, the krona its value. However if the currency is mistreated, hyper inflation may result, such as in Zimbabwe. Thus a currency needs prudence and carefulness by the politicians. Speaking of politicians, you all know there is an election May 7th. Who should you trust? There is upcoming TV-debates between the leaders of 7 parties. In the art of theatre, the visual and the heard is most important, since these directly affects emotions. And we use emotions to make a judgement. If the visual and the heard is tasteful, then we like what is being said, almost regardless of what is said. "still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest", to quote Simon & Garfunkel. Thus posture and voice is very important for you to emotionally win the debate. Here Mr Farage has a natural advantage; he just sounds very convincing since he has such a confident posture and voice. People tend to forget what is actually said, and remember the general emotion of the spectacle. Humour is very important, since it affects emotion in a positive way. Mr Cameron, I believe could very well use a reference to the youtube video "chef ping pong" (search). The conclusions is that the chicken (Cameron) has balls and fights back. It may sound as a defeat to admit that one is a chicken. However the PM role requires prudence and carefulness, and this is more important than a brave showoff for personal vanity reasons. However people tend to like brave people more than chickens, even though chickens is better PM material. Look at Africa, one of the most successful nations is Botswana who has prudence and carefulness as its main virtues. Other leaders in other African countries may have more brave leadership that wage war etc, but the people suffer under such brave leaders. The public may not understand this. But experience shows this. 1 View in discussion Per Per EmmaJ29 a year ago Keynesian economics is correct and sound.

Election 2010, 7% of those who voted UKIP came from Labour, according to a survey.

Taste is like the buttocks, split. I want challenges. I suppose your GPS and car engine management works by reading the GPS and corresponding this with a map of roads and their corresponding legal speed limit, and thus limit the cars speed not to exceed this speed. It is a novel, feasible, good idea. However you meet resistance with this idea. People, especially in America, regard their car with emotions of freedom. They want to be able to "let all the horses loose" and be able to exceed the speed limit if they want to, although most won't, but they want this possibility for their emotion of freedom attached to the car. Further, you would get a really big brother society. The one with power could theoretically (with appropriate telematics, needed to update speed limit data automatically) limit a specific cars speed remotely. Thus those with the power would get more power, intimidating individuals get them to yield to the power. Maybe people feel they need to go fast to avoid criminals who have power connections. As a last note, it is my theory that people have a constant need of complaining. The speed humps acts there as a natural hate object, thus there is less complaining on your wife, since natural hate objects take some of the heat of the constant need for complaining. If you don't have natural hate objects, such as speed humps, then there will thus be more quarrel with family and friends. A common enemy unites.

Would you like to be able to form a “dream team” of people who you really like and where the chemistry of characters plays like a piano, and where this “dream team” is an everyday occurrence going to the job? Like the opportunity to meet new people who you love to bits, and then keep those relations? This is a possibility with LOTTA. Inequality is troubling our world. 1% of the richest in the world owns almost as much as the rest (99%). Is there a natural way to solve this problem? Yes there is. The solution is to form competition to the rich people’s income generating opportunities. The government would in a natural way encourage competences to compete with monopolies, and thus greatly reduce the profit margin for these monopolies, since the “seller’s market” turns into a “buyer’s market”. What is a “seller’s market”? It is market where the seller of goods and services are able to set prices freely in order to maximise profit. This happens in monopolies. What is “buyer’s market”? This is a market where the buyers (consumers) set the prices by choosing the product of best bang for the buck, through competition between several suppliers of products. There is a huge difference between “seller’s market” and “buyer’s market”. Food is basically “buyer’s market”. Imagine a monopoly of a food producer. They could extort the market to astronomical prices of food, since one needs this to survive and will pay the price demanded by the monopoly in order not to starve. This is not the case in todays world since we have competition in the food market, thus a “buyer’s market”. Thus competition is good. Where there are monopolies rich get richer. Thus 1% of the worlds population are so rich because they have control over the market. The government could mitigate this by forming companies that compete naturally with those profit margins of the super rich, and their riches would therefore be under pressure. This active forming of competing companies by the government has the positive side effect that the companies that the government form will probably be highly profitable since they enter a market that is highly profitable (what it comes down to is having the right people with right knowledge). Thus a government economic catalyst through initiatives. LOTTA is a natural idea to realise this. Want more excitement and enjoyment of your ability? Imagine going to a job with work mates that you enjoy the company of and face challenges together and solve the problems together. Self-esteem comes from challenges in work that you win over. These “wins” you can and should remember, and this causes you to feel better of yourself. LOTTA is a natural construct that can enable this for you. What is LOTTA? Read on. I believe UK could be the richest per capita nation in the world by 2030. There is hope. Let me present LOTTA, “Labour Organising Trust Through Agreements”. 1. Let people freely send in business ideas to this trust, through the internet. Encrypted communications to make valuable business ideas remain as secret as possible. The contributors are promised stocks in future companies based on these ideas, as a compensation, and the trust enforce this. The trust organises a easily searchable database of business ideas. 2. Let people, unemployed, new business seekers, people with employment that want to try their wings, pensioners looking for additional income, etc, apply to form teams with others; these teams form naturally through internet communications where each and everyone’s credentials and competence are shown. 3. Let these teams see a select portion of the business idea database. The originator/originators of the business ideas have to acknowledge the team using the idea. 4. To finance this use tax money or investors money, let taxpayers vote through internet at the LOTTA site on these teams with selected business ideas. If a taxpayer votes correctly, and the resulting business idea through a resulting stock company shows profit after some time (say 5 years), the taxpayer gets tax reductions/pay outs according how well the market value of the company is.

Thus I have redefined the meaning of socialism (in private and published here on telegraph blogs), in protest against the left. That said you need both left and right in politics. Left is about equalisation. You need some equalisation to prevent power concentration, since if you have power or money it is more easy to make power or money, and thus you have a natural development of power concentration. Thus you need political left (equalisation) in a functioning society that is good. An angel has both a left wing and a right wing. David Cameron has turned the Tory left, thus a better mix.

But that unfortunately is the juvenile mentality that presently pervades most of Labour's thinking.

See Daily Mail for pictures and their slogans. No coverage in the DT of course. Labour is now a threat to our democracy! (oopiop) — Can you imagine the reaction if Hunt had made his sneering reference to Nuns in education about Imams ? (Alltaxationistheft) — His behaviour on QT last night was disgusting, from sneering at audience members to shouting down people asking questions to losing his rag when anyone dared question what he said, his ignorance and sheer arrogance reminded me instantly of what it was like for 13 years under labour and the sheer contempt they hold us, the electorate in. He was disgusting. (Monument) — Another sign that Ed Milliband has completely failed to get a grip on his party. The whole party needs to be purged of elitist politically correct bigots who have consistently hijacked Labour's agenda and alienated the core working class vote as well as its Catholic/Christian support base. We desperately need a credible alternative to George Osborne's cuts and pandering to the top 1%, but while characters like Hunt are driving Catholic voters into the arms of UKIP, that's not going to happen. (Cestius) — it was a rare pleasure to see this posh spoilt arrogant man totally humiliated by the Finchley audience in last night's QT Miliband & Balls clearly don't have the monopoly on disfunctionality on the Labour front bench (Alltaxationistheft) -> Labour is run by a north London posh elite who have nothing in common with the ordinary person.

My religion is Simple Religion that I have posted here before.

The following I wrote yesterday (4 Feb 2015), Mustard According to Jesus if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you pass. This has made mustard to symbolise faith. The mustard in Simple Religion is simple. 1. Belief in next life; you arrive at “Degerfors” world aka “OR” in a pleasant developed Earth like planet with a sun and moon just like here. 2. The Gods work in mysterious ways; do not awaken the wrath of the Gods. 3. You retain the memory from previous life; you arrive at a specific age and then age and get a next life again. 4. Have faith in that most humans want to have influence over their destiny through choices and actions, the most important is that good quality deeds are rewarded since this motivates people to contribute with value to the world for the benefit of all. Simple Religion builds upon Christianity. The reason for truth of the above faith is the following quote, “And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” (St. MATTHEW. 17:20, KJV) View in discussion Per Per a year ago If Labour wins, will the last person to leave please turn off the light. 4 View in discussion Per Per a year ago There is something profoundly wrong with the left.

The government can do this (see repeat post below), 20 Jan 2015 Stuck with wrong people at the job? Do you find some people annoying or irritating at your job? Would you like to be able to form a “dream team” of people who you really like and where the chemistry of characters plays like a piano, and where this “dream team” is an everyday occurrence going to the job? Like the opportunity to meet new people who you love to bits, and then keep those relations? This is a possibility with LOTTA. Inequality is troubling our world. 1% of the richest in the world owns almost as much as the rest (99%). Is there a natural way to solve this problem? Yes there is. The solution is to form competition to the rich people’s income generating opportunities. The government would in a natural way encourage competences to compete with monopolies, and thus greatly reduce the profit margin for these monopolies, since the “seller’s market” turns into a “buyer’s market”. What is a “seller’s market”? It is market where the seller of goods and services are able to set prices freely in order to maximise profit. This happens in monopolies. What is “buyer’s market”? This is a market where the buyers (consumers) set the prices by choosing the product of best bang for the buck, through competition between several suppliers of products. There is a huge difference between “seller’s market” and “buyer’s market”. Food is basically “buyer’s market”. Imagine a monopoly of a food producer. They could extort the market to astronomical prices of food, since one needs this to survive and will pay the price demanded by the monopoly in order not to starve. This is not the case in todays world since we have competition in the food market, thus a “buyer’s market”. Thus competition is good. Where there are monopolies rich get richer. Thus 1% of the worlds population are so rich because they have control over the market. The government could mitigate this by forming companies that compete naturally with those profit margins of the super rich, and their riches would therefore be under pressure. This active forming of competing companies by the government has the positive side effect that the companies that the government form will probably be highly profitable since they enter a market that is highly profitable (what it comes down to is having the right people with right knowledge). Thus a government economic catalyst through initiatives. LOTTA is a natural idea to realise this. Want more excitement and enjoyment of your ability? Imagine going to a job with work mates that you enjoy the company of and face challenges together and solve the problems together. Self-esteem comes from challenges in work that you win over. These “wins” you can and should remember, and this causes you to feel better of yourself. LOTTA is a natural construct that can enable this for you. What is LOTTA? Read on. I believe UK could be the richest per capita nation in the world by 2030. There is hope. Let me present LOTTA, “Labour Organising Trust Through Agreements”. 1. Let people freely send in business ideas to this trust, through the internet. Encrypted communications to make valuable business ideas remain as secret as possible. The contributors are promised stocks in future companies based on these ideas, as a compensation, and the trust enforce this. The trust organises a easily searchable database of business ideas. 2. Let people, unemployed, new business seekers, people with employment that want to try their wings, pensioners looking for additional income, etc, apply to form teams with others; these teams form naturally through internet communications where each and everyone’s credentials and competence are shown. 3. Let these teams see a select portion of the business idea database. The originator/originators of the business ideas have to acknowledge the team using the idea. 4. To finance this use tax money or investors money, let taxpayers vote through internet at the LOTTA site on these teams with selected business ideas. If a taxpayer votes correctly, and the resulting business idea through a resulting stock company shows profit after some time (say 5 years), the taxpayer gets tax reductions/pay outs according how well the market value of the company is. Just by voting right, and each taxpayer should pay attention to read, analyse, and question each prospective team/prospective company with the right business idea before voting. If he or she votes incorrectly he or she will be punished by increased tax. What do you think? (Send your local politician an email today. The lazy politicians feel happy when they have no pressure on them. I have sent David Cameron an email. :-) ) View in discussion Discussion on Telegraph 482 comments The case against Mr Miliband grows stronger Per Per tedsanityville a year ago From what I've seen the odds are in CON favour. The TV debates will be interesting. Here is some general and specific good advice to Cameron (repeat post) 15 Jan 2015 There is basically one major choice Cameron has regarding the issue at hand (read Dan’s article) Either (1) Take part in the debate or (2) Avoid the debate. (with or without the Greens in TV) I prefer choice (1). The reasons is that probably a lot of “devout” Conservatives and potential Conservatives will be looking at the debate regardless of Camerons absence. Since there is a lot of interest in the political TV debates, and people may have nothing better to watch on the telly. The problem, of course, is that Farage has such a charming character that “goes home” (Swedish expression translated literally) in the homes. To make things worse, Farage is quick and a master at with a “to the point” disarming reply (yes I have seen Farage on youtube) But Farage will “go home” regardless if Cameron is there or absent. Since he is fun to watch. Assuming Cameron is to win the debate with Farage, here are a few tips. 1. Begin with (to have it said first): “Myself me being a simple, slow and prudent man has the disadvantage that I am not manic and quick with punchlines that appear emotionally to win the argument. I therefore as an advice want people think of what was really said by me and my opponent at the time. Not on HOW it was said. Remember a funny quick one line type of debater may not be the best to rule in Government, rather a slow, analytical, prudent politician with the heart in the right place.” 2. Then declare yourself: “I Cameron am a strong non-racist, both emotionally and intellectually. I have seen adopted children of other races being flawless citizens and talk and walk just like us. It is our culture we should be proud of, not our race. I am also somebody who respects (but no believer) other world religions, simply because of their size in terms of their adherents. I am prudent, economic and careful, as my record shows for the last 5 years.” 3. Then state your interests: “I want our British culture to prevail in Britain. I am putting by far most Britons interests regardless of creed or race, man or woman, poor or rich into my priority. Please keep visiting a major newspaper commenters’ blog so that I or my paid staff can read them and inform me, in a digest. Then when the debate starts keep this things in your head. 1. Repeat strong points e.g. Economy past record, control immigration, enough money to the NHS, EU IN/OUT referendum, enough money to the schools. Remember if there is a lot of money to spend, welfare spending is so much easier. Economy is the key. I am delighted when I see a success story of a simple poor man working hard in their own business building up to a good life by themselves and some cooperation. I am delighted when a motivated student excels and does good use at a work later in life. These kind of people bring in the bacon through taxes to people like me, and the vulnerable out of solidarity. 2a. Fight other’s strong points. Farage has “out of EU”. You say the referendum makes this issue mute, since people can vote separately and don’t need UKIP for that. Farrage has immigration. Thank Farage for bringing it on the table. Conservatives now want to limit and control immigration, though it will take time, We still will be a refugee friendly nation, yet the numbers will come down some so we need to prioritise the most hurt refugees with most need for protection. 3b. Fight other’s strong points. Miliband will be speaking of the poor and the vulnerable. Cameron must say we have compassion too. “Tory’s have gone to the left with me. We care about the poor, in fact tax cuts for the poorest are our priority. Solidarity with the vulnerable is also a priority. You shall not feel abandoned in Britain with the Tories, simply because you are lucky enough to be a Briton.” 3c. Clegg - well I don’t know much of this guy, please fill in the facts for me. (An appeal to the readers and writers on this Telegraph blog) 4a. Point out other’s weak points. Farage has no government experience. What will Britain look like with libertarian UKIP in power? Lassoer-free economics? That is what it says about libertarian. And to be nasty, which I don’t recommend you can say that a lot of closet racists probably vote UKIP. “Do you want to repatriate my work mates and my kids friends?” “Do you want to repatriate my adopted son from Africa?” 4b Point out other’s weak points. Labour ran up a huge deficit, didn’t they. They feel international solidarity with the whole world, and want mass immigration to make British born vulnerable be hit by the costs of international vulnerable coming to Britain. A budget is a budget and if we increase immigration costs, something else has to yield in the budget. Further there is a danger with multi cult; separatism and freezing out of people with ancient British culture in their own land. Tory’s priority is the British, born here or not, but not the whole world. 4c Clegg see 3c. REPEAT THIS THE ENTIRE DEBATE.

This means, because of how the constituency democracy system works, that the relative small parties “steal” votes from the larger, of the general same type of voters, who would normally vote for this larger party had the smaller not existed. Thus UKIP “steals” votes from Conservatives. Because of this split of votes, Labour could very well win the constituencies throughout the country, even though centre-right voters are in majority. Thus vote UKIP, get Labour. What about the Kippers that now detest the Conservatives with David Cameron? You have to ask yourself, why do you detest CON. Immigration? EU-friendly? Or is it just that you love the alternative better, and thus this love turns up in hate towards CON. You have to look at the deals. The first deal is call CON. Here you get, 1. IN/OUT EU referendum 2017, and if OUT 2017 control EU migration 2. Control immigration 3. Economy running smooth The other deal is called “UKIP get Labour” 1. No referendum (since Labour wins) 2. Open door immigration (since Labour wins) 3. Economy struggling (since Labour wins) Is it really that hard choice for the Kipper?

The terms were C.O.D. (Cash On Delivery) to the nearest pick up site. He got a text message saying that the merchandise had arrived at the local site, and he should pay the full 1700 pounds at the counter. The man was in despair; he didn’t have the cash. The bank account had been going to late pub nights lately and the next salary was 7 days away. He called his friend Sue. He told his precarious situation. What shall I do, he asked her. Buy a cod and throw it up on the counter. Say “it said C.O.D. and here is the cod”. I will arrange for one of our local outgoing rich character to watch the spectacle. Maybe you’ll get lucky. Cross your fingers. Sue put a sexy dress on, and phoned Bill, the rich guy. “I am a journalist making a story about one of our outgoing rich guys here, would you like for us to take a selfie, just you and me at the pick up site for internet goods?” (she wasn’t a journalist, but she would make a story and publish on the internet). Yes he said after some persuasion. At the pick up site, Andy arrived with his cod in a plastic bag. He went to the counter. “I would like my stereo, I am Andy” The assistant brought the expensive stereo to the counter. C.O.D. he said. Andy reached for the cod and threw it onto the counter. “Here is the cod, it said C.O.D. on the text message I got. It is good with diced hard boiled eggs, melted butter and parsley.” Meanwhile, Sue had lured in Bill to the pickup site. He witnessed everything, and laughed feverishly. He was bewildered in excitement. “You made the laugh for the week. That is worth a lot of money. I have more than I need. I will pay for the equipment. I take the cod, I’ll have my wife cook it for me with eggs, melted butter and parsley.” He paid, and Andy got his equipment for the price of a fresh cod.

Regards, /Per Swedish Patriot (55 upvotes) The most important issue in the world, in my view, is that of devolution of power. To counteract power concentrating trends and ideologies. Let me quote the Bible in this context, “We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves.”, NKJV This quote works against power concentration, since it causes, if followed by all, a consensus that the ruler shall devolve power to the weaker (in power terms). Now let me return to the issue of positive case for immigration. I am refugee friendly. This because if you are able to flee a power concentrated dictatorship, people there will be more brave to challenge the dictator apparatus. Thus there is a force in the world that makes dictators considerate not to get all too powerful, since then terrorism (ANC is an example of justified terrorism, though I am against terrorism in general, and most forms of terrorism) and violence can hurt the dictator. Thus for us in the west to be refugee friendly helps devolution of power in the world. Lasly, say no to racism.

To have the right values when one writes laws is important. I hope to influence the law writers with this post. Here are some of my general values and thoughts right now. You probable have heard the phrase “All are of equal worth” repeated endlessly. This phrase’s popularity probably stems from as a consequence of the Nazi atrocities. What the Nazi’s did to the Jews and Romani people was absolutely horrific. But do we really in our hearts act and think as if this phrase was true? Would you for example marry any bloke just to prove to yourself that this phrase is true, and want to live up to it? You would not differentiate the value of different people. In some of the states of the USA they have the death penalty. Imagine whispering in the ear of a death row inmate; “You are just as much worth as everyone else, we’re just going to kill you.” The equal worth concept just lost its meaning in this specific example. The same for prison inmates. “You are as much worth as everyone else, however we’re going to lock you up.” On the other hand, if VIPs get blatant benefits that everyone else doesn’t it hurts. Envy and disgust can reach you. This envy and disgust fuels the erroneous phrase to become more true, and if we all lived up to it, we couldn’t punish criminals and you would have to marry just any bloke. If we can’t punish criminals, we have anarchy. And that we do not want. So we do not want to fuel this trueness of the phrase too much. Hence we should not give VIPs too much benefits that stings in the eyes of common people. However, we should all believe we are somebody special, since this helps with our self-esteem. If you have high self-esteem, you should of course use this to respect those that respects and love those that deserve your love. However, some people with too much self-esteem need to put in place. What about what the Nazis did? We should just stick to the conclusion that racism is wrong. And we should be refugee friendly. However, there has to be a balance to the refugee immigration. Proportions and reasonability is important. The anti immigration parties are a healthy and sound counter reaction to the mass immigration lobbyists. However, that said, I am for a reasonable immigration of refugees. Are all cultures of equal worth? No. The illegal drug culture is not of the same worth as a clean one in this context.(what good is your "master race" heritage if you are junkie (drug addict); thus culture is more important than race) The Nazi culture is not worth as much as a democratic culture. Please look up the meme definition in wikipedia. Thus we all have to make up our own personal culture. We all have value and weigh different cultural aspects. We have to accept or reject aspects of our common culture. We have to endorse and we have to fight. Who said life was easy? I myself have a value that is upsetting to many. I say no to God. Although religion is interesting, I like to think the definition of religion is values and statements that you hold dearly and defends fiercely. I do have values and statements that I defend fiercely; thus I have a religion. Part of my religion right now is, Absolutely not a God. Absolutely not free immigration. However I may change my views in the future.

The spread spread first to the cities and not evenly across the country as one might expect. This rumour is true, this is what has happened. This has made people to fantasise that the virus was spread on purpose to the cities. Well the reason it looks as it does is because of our physical communications patterns with cars, buses, lorries, airplanes. They travel from city to city mostly. If you drive a car, you go generally on the highway, you don't stop at small villages. Another reason is that promiscuous people seek excitement in cities mostly. A third reason is that business people, tourism go to the cities, and travel to meet your family/relatives does not generally result in outside family sex, which business and tourism travel result more often in.

The government would in a natural way encourage competences to compete with monopolies, and thus greatly reduce the profit margin for these monopolies, since the “seller’s market” turns into a “buyer’s market”. What is a “seller’s market”? It is market where the seller of goods and services are able to set prices freely in order to maximise profit. This happens in monopolies. What is “buyer’s market”? This is a market where the buyers (consumers) set the prices by choosing the product of best bang for the buck, through competition between several suppliers of products. There is a huge difference between “seller’s market” and “buyer’s market”. Food is basically “buyer’s market”. Imagine a monopoly of a food producer. They could extort the market to astronomical prices of food, since one needs this to survive and will pay the price demanded by the monopoly in order not to starve. This is not the case in todays world since we have competition in the food market, thus a “buyer’s market”. Thus competition is good. Where there are monopolies rich get richer. Thus 1% of the worlds population are so rich because they have control over the market. The government could mitigate this by forming companies that compete naturally with those profit margins of the super rich, and their riches would therefore be under pressure. This active forming of competing companies by the government has the positive side effect that the companies that the government form will probably be highly profitable since they enter a market that is highly profitable (what it comes down to is having the right people with right knowledge). Thus a government economic catalyst through initiatives. LOTTA is a natural idea to realise this. Want more excitement and enjoyment of your ability? Imagine going to a job with work mates that you enjoy the company of and face challenges together and solve the problems together. Self-esteem comes from challenges in work that you win over. These “wins” you can and should remember, and this causes you to feel better of yourself. LOTTA is a natural construct that can enable this for you. What is LOTTA? Read on. I believe UK could be the richest per capita nation in the world by 2030. There is hope. Let me present LOTTA, “Labour Organising Trust Through Agreements”. 1. Let people freely send in business ideas to this trust, through the internet. Encrypted communications to make valuable business ideas remain as secret as possible. The contributors are promised stocks in future companies based on these ideas, as a compensation, and the trust enforce this. The trust organises a easily searchable database of business ideas. 2. Let people, unemployed, new business seekers, people with employment that want to try their wings, pensioners looking for additional income, etc, apply to form teams with others; these teams form naturally through internet communications where each and everyone’s credentials and competence are shown. 3. Let these teams see a select portion of the business idea database. The originator/originators of the business ideas have to acknowledge the team using the idea. 4. To finance this use tax money or investors money, let taxpayers vote through internet at the LOTTA site on these teams with selected business ideas. If a taxpayer votes correctly, and the resulting business idea through a resulting stock company shows profit after some time (say 5 years), the taxpayer gets tax reductions/pay outs according how well the market value of the company is. Just by voting right, and each taxpayer should pay attention to read, analyse, and question each prospective team/prospective company with the right business idea before voting. If he or she votes incorrectly he or she will be punished by increased tax. What do you think? (Send your local politician an email today.

Behave with power distribution as a general principle.” From this follows a no to cloning. The reason is as follows. 1. Political affiliation has been linked strongly with genes 2. Political power concentration (e.g. political Islam) can happen simply because of the sheer number of people with a political conviction that invade a country (e.g. a democracy) 3. Thus from (1) and (2) you can clone people with genes with a certain political affiliation and thus gain political dominance with time as they grow up and vote in the democracy. 4.

View in discussion Per Per a year ago Here is an interesting repost, in case you have missed it (pun intended), 15 Jan 2015 There is basically one major choice Cameron has regarding the issue at hand (read Dan’s article) Either (1) Take part in the debate or (2) Avoid the debate. (with or without the Greens in TV) I prefer choice (1). The reasons is that probably a lot of “devout” Conservatives and potential Conservatives will be looking at the debate regardless of Camerons absence. Since there is a lot of interest in the political TV debates, and people may have nothing better to watch on the telly. The problem, of course, is that Farage has such a charming character that “goes home” (Swedish expression translated literally) in the homes. To make things worse, Farage is quick and a master at with a “to the point” disarming reply (yes I have seen Farage on youtube) But Farage will “go home” regardless if Cameron is there or absent. Since he is fun to watch. Assuming Cameron is to win the debate with Farage, here are a few tips. 1. Begin with (to have it said first): “Myself me being a simple, slow and prudent man has the disadvantage that I am not manic and quick with punchlines that appear emotionally to win the argument. I therefore as an advice want people think of what was really said by me and my opponent at the time. Not on HOW it was said. Remember a funny quick one line type of debater may not be the best to rule in Government, rather a slow, analytical, prudent politician with the heart in the right place.” 2. Then declare yourself: “I Cameron am a strong non-racist, both emotionally and intellectually. I have seen adopted children of other races being flawless citizens and talk and walk just like us. It is our culture we should be proud of, not our race. I am also somebody who respects (but no believer) other world religions, simply because of their size in terms of their adherents. I am prudent, economic and careful, as my record shows for the last 5 years.” 3. Then state your interests: “I want our British culture to prevail in Britain. I am putting by far most Britons interests regardless of creed or race, man or woman, poor or rich into my priority. Please keep visiting a major newspaper commenters’ blog so that I or my paid staff can read them and inform me, in a digest. Then when the debate starts keep this things in your head. 1. Repeat strong points e.g. Economy past record, control immigration, enough money to the NHS, EU IN/OUT referendum, enough money to the schools. Remember if there is a lot of money to spend, welfare spending is so much easier. Economy is the key. I am delighted when I see a success story of a simple poor man working hard in their own business building up to a good life by themselves and some cooperation. I am delighted when a motivated student excels and does good use at a work later in life. These kind of people bring in the bacon through taxes to people like me, and the vulnerable out of solidarity. 2a. Fight other’s strong points. Farage has “out of EU”. You say the referendum makes this issue mute, since people can vote separately and don’t need UKIP for that. Farrage has immigration. Thank Farage for bringing it on the table. Conservatives now want to limit and control immigration, though it will take time, We still will be a refugee friendly nation, yet the numbers will come down some so we need to prioritise the most hurt refugees with most need for protection. 3b. Fight other’s strong points. Miliband will be speaking of the poor and the vulnerable. Cameron must say we have compassion too. “Tory’s have gone to the left with me. We care about the poor, in fact tax cuts for the poorest are our priority. Solidarity with the vulnerable is also a priority. You shall not feel abandoned in Britain with the Tories, simply because you are lucky enough to be a Briton.” 3c. Clegg - well I don’t know much of this guy, please fill in the facts for me. (An appeal to the readers and writers on this Telegraph blog) 4a. Point out other’s weak points. Farage has no government experience. What will Britain look like with libertarian UKIP in power? Lassoer-free economics? That is what it says about libertarian. And to be nasty, which I don’t recommend you can say that a lot of closet racists probably vote UKIP. “Do you want to repatriate my work mates and my kids friends?” “Do you want to repatriate my adopted son from Africa?” 4b Point out other’s weak points. Labour ran up a huge deficit, didn’t they. They feel international solidarity with the whole world, and want mass immigration to make British born vulnerable be hit by the costs of international vulnerable coming to Britain. A budget is a budget and if we increase immigration costs, something else has to yield in the budget. Further there is a danger with multi cult; separatism and freezing out of people with ancient British culture in their own land. Tory’s priority is the British, born here or not, but not the whole world. 4c Clegg see 3c. REPEAT THIS THE ENTIRE DEBATE.

"The Dozens is a game of spoken words between two contestants, common in Black communities of the United Stated, where participants insult each other until one gives up. It is customary for the Dozens to be played in front of an audience of bystanders, who encourage the participants to reply with more egregious insults to heighten the tension and consequently, to be more interesting to watch." Is that what we are doing here? 2 View in discussion Per Per Per Mare Per Terram a year ago Vote UKIP, get Labour. What does this mean? This means, because of how the constituency democracy system works, that the relative small parties “steal” votes from the larger, of the general same type of voters, who would normally vote for this larger party had the smaller not existed. Thus UKIP “steals” votes from Conservatives. Because of this split of votes, Labour could very well win the constituencies throughout the country, even though centre-right voters are in majority. Thus vote UKIP, get Labour. What about the Kippers that now detest the Conservatives with David Cameron? You have to ask yourself, why do you detest CON. Immigration? EU-friendly? Or is it just that you love the alternative better, and thus this love turns up in hate towards CON. You have to look at the deals. The first deal is call CON. Here you get, 1. IN/OUT EU referendum 2017, and if OUT 2017 control EU migration 2. Control immigration 3. Economy running smooth The other deal is called “UKIP get Labour” 1. No referendum (since Labour wins) 2. Open door immigration (since Labour wins) 3. Economy struggling (since Labour wins) Is it really that hard choice for the Kipper? By all means, if UKIP gets larger than CON in the polls, then vote UKIP. Otherwise CON. This is really sense talking to you… Vote for David “Angel face” Cameron May 7th 2015!

View in discussion Per Per midnighteye a year ago Let me start by quoting Longman, socialism any of various beliefs or systems (sometimes considered to include communism) aiming at public ownership of the means of production and the establishment of a society in which every person is equal This is NOT what I mean by socialism. I just think the word is to good to be let at this definition. I mean what a word, "social" and the "-ism" of that. Therefore I included my own definition of socialism, “Socialism is general rules of the survival of life in the long term.” Further, on coercion, which means government by force, I think all societies has this quality, more or less. For example if you don't pay your due taxes you are thrown into jail. If you steal other's property, you are probably punished, etc. There has to be some kind of coercion in any society, in other words. Thus coercion is a fruitful and sustainable way of molding a society. Without coercion, anarchy. "Order, please", as the English say.

View in discussion Per Per a year ago Let me post some repeat posts in case you wonder about my religious affiliations. As long as the Muslims respect my religious affiliation I can respect theirs. Remember religion is a way to say strongly what you believe in (look up religion in wikipedia). Religious wars on blogs like these means you fight intense and passionate battles with words and arguments for something you believe in strongly. --- Part of my religion right now is, Absolutely not a God. Absolutely not free immigration. --- Don't let the Gods' Wrath bestow upon you or your future world. Do you know the Swedish language? Here is a translation to Swedish, “Låt inte Gudarnas Vrede bli given till dig eller din framtida värld.” Why do I think there are many Gods? As I told a my Muslim acquaintance Mikael here in Sweden (he lives in the house next door, and he tried to get me to become a Muslim, but I said no), by the following argument. Imagine if in the beginning there was only one God, what would God do first? Get God friends. He would create another God, and another God and so on. First after this the Gods would create this Universe, were we live. As an aquarium to watch and be amused at. I think it is credible. The Gods work in mysterious ways. There are in the literature today that exists many credible arguments as to that Jesus never existed. Josefus’ Testimonium Flavianum was a forgery, that is obvious. (Per) --- 1. Behave with power distribution as a general principle. 2. All that value this second rule are to be valued and respected generally highly inherently within them self. 3. Create, evaluate, manage and maintain quality. (Simple Religion, 185 = 37*5 visible characters as a checksum) View in discussion Per Per a year ago Regarding Jesus, here are some arguments as to why he never existed. Either Jesus is a myth or he was real. Here are some motives as to argue for the myth, 1. The religious community needed a figure (imaginary and basis for the myth) to focus on that would confirm the Old Testament. ("I have not come to abolish the law" as Jesus basically said) 2.The people longed for a messias, then a made up messias is almost as good. 3.The emotional basis for such a myth to spread quickly was there (the originators of the myth felt the vibes in the air) and then some people thought it would be fun to be the originators of such a myth and then other people joined. The most important points (that I have in memory right now) that Jesus never existed are 1. You don't write down the story of Jesus decades later if he now could make magic and thus proved he was God's son; you write down the story immediately. 2. Fairly stupid of Jesus to say that the Devil shall burn, and then say that he is the Devil himself (morningstar).God(s) seems smart considering the Laws of Physics (the Laws of Nature), how then can his son be such dumb being. (Why is this dumb? Because the spirit of the two signals (Jesus said according to the Bible 1. Devil is bad and shall burn [St. MATTHEWS. 25:41], 2. I am the Devil [REVELATION. 22:16]) he is sending is contradictory.)

(with or without the Greens in TV) I prefer choice (1). The reasons is that probably a lot of “devout” Conservatives and potential Conservatives will be looking at the debate regardless of Camerons absence. Since there is a lot of interest in the political TV debates, and people may have nothing better to watch on the telly. The problem, of course, is that Farage has such a charming character that “goes home” (Swedish expression translated literally) in the homes. To make things worse, Farage is quick and a master at with a “to the point” disarming reply (yes I have seen Farage on youtube) But Farage will “go home” regardless if Cameron is there or absent. Since he is fun to watch. Assuming Cameron is to win the debate with Farage, here are a few tips. 1.

I therefore as an advice want people think of what was really said by me and my opponent at the time. Not on HOW it was said. Remember a funny quick one line type of debater may not be the best to rule in Government, rather a slow, analytical, prudent politician with the heart in the right place.” 2. Then declare yourself: “I Cameron am a strong non-racist, both emotionally and intellectually. I have seen adopted children of other races being flawless citizens and talk and walk just like us. It is our culture we should be proud of, not our race. I am also somebody who respects (but no believer) other world religions, simply because of their size in terms of their adherents. I am prudent, economic and careful, as my record shows for the last 5 years.” 3. Then state your interests: “I want our British culture to prevail in Britain.

But it would have been a mistake for the Scottish to vote yes for independence. Obviously the English would have a great disadvantage for Scottish independence, and the English no is of no real debate, its obvious to vote no if you were English. For the Scottish, a no is too to prefer. Why? Because the brand name of Great Britain is so well established, consider for example the Australia has the Union Jack in its flag. The whole WW1 and WW2 victories. The successful spread of English values in the world in the colonialization. The USA. The English language though out the world. In short the Union Jack and Great Britain is an immense brand in the world. This brand establishment the Scottish can still enjoy since they voted no. I have no idea why anyone would vote yes to independence. It seems its all about a big laugh.

Now I can quote wikipedia, "Libertarianism (Latin: liber, "free") is a political philosophy that upholds liberty as its principal objective. Libertarians seek to maximize autonomy and freedom of choice, emphasizing political freedom, voluntary association and the primacy of individual judgement.[1][2] Libertarians generally share a skepticism of authority; however, they diverge on the scope of their opposition to existing political and economic systems. Various schools of libertarian thought offer a range of views regarding the legitimate functions of state and private power, often calling to restrict or even to wholly dissolve pervasive social institutions. Rather than embodying a singular, rigid systematic theory or ideology, libertarianism has been applied as an umbrella term to a wide range of sometimes discordant political ideas through modern history. Although some present-day libertarians advocate laissez-faire capitalism and strong private property rights,[3] such as in land, infrastructure and natural resources, others, notably libertarian socialists,[4] seek to abolish capitalism and private ownership of the means of production in favor of their common or cooperative ownership and management.[5][6] While minarchists think that a minimal centralized government is necessary, anarchists propose to completely eliminate the state.[7][8]" (s: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L... ) View in discussion Per Per chill0 a year ago I'll give you this.

Do you find some people annoying or irritating at your job? Would you like to be able to form a “dream team” of people who you really like and where the chemistry of characters plays like a piano, and where this “dream team” is an everyday occurrence going to the job? Like the opportunity to meet new people who you love to bits, and then keep those relations? This is a possibility with LOTTA. Inequality is troubling our world. 1% of the richest in the world owns almost as much as the rest (99%). Is there a natural way to solve this problem? Yes there is. The solution is to form competition to the rich people’s income generating opportunities. The government would in a natural way encourage competences to compete with monopolies, and thus greatly reduce the profit margin for these monopolies, since the “seller’s market” turns into a “buyer’s market”. What is a “seller’s market”? It is market where the seller of goods and services are able to set prices freely in order to maximise profit. This happens in monopolies. What is “buyer’s market”? This is a market where the buyers (consumers) set the prices by choosing the product of best bang for the buck, through competition between several suppliers of products. There is a huge difference between “seller’s market” and “buyer’s market”. Food is basically “buyer’s market”. Imagine a monopoly of a food producer. They could extort the market to astronomical prices of food, since one needs this to survive and will pay the price demanded by the monopoly in order not to starve. This is not the case in todays world since we have competition in the food market, thus a “buyer’s market”. Thus competition is good. Where there are monopolies rich get richer. Thus 1% of the worlds population are so rich because they have control over the market. The government could mitigate this by forming companies that compete naturally with those profit margins of the super rich, and their riches would therefore be under pressure. This active forming of competing companies by the government has the positive side effect that the companies that the government form will probably be highly profitable since they enter a market that is highly profitable (what it comes down to is having the right people with right knowledge). Thus a government economic catalyst through initiatives. LOTTA is a natural idea to realise this. Want more excitement and enjoyment of your ability? Imagine going to a job with work mates that you enjoy the company of and face challenges together and solve the problems together. Self-esteem comes from challenges in work that you win over. These “wins” you can and should remember, and this causes you to feel better of yourself. LOTTA is a natural construct that can enable this for you. What is LOTTA? Read on. I believe UK could be the richest per capita nation in the world by 2030. There is hope. Let me present LOTTA, “Labour Organising Trust Through Agreements”. 1. Let people freely send in business ideas to this trust, through the internet. Encrypted communications to make valuable business ideas remain as secret as possible. The contributors are promised stocks in future companies based on these ideas, as a compensation, and the trust enforce this. The trust organises a easily searchable database of business ideas. 2. Let people, unemployed, new business seekers, people with employment that want to try their wings, pensioners looking for additional income, etc, apply to form teams with others; these teams form naturally through internet communications where each and everyone’s credentials and competence are shown. 3. Let these teams see a select portion of the business idea database. The originator/originators of the business ideas have to acknowledge the team using the idea. 4. To finance this use tax money or investors money, let taxpayers vote through internet at the LOTTA site on these teams with selected business ideas. If a taxpayer votes correctly, and the resulting business idea through a resulting stock company shows profit after some time (say 5 years), the taxpayer gets tax reductions/pay outs according how well the market value of the company is. Just by voting right, and each taxpayer should pay attention to read, analyse, and question each prospective team/prospective company with the right business idea before voting. If he or she votes incorrectly he or she will be punished by increased tax. What do you think? (Send your local politician an email today.

Remember religion is beliefs, culture and world views according to wikipedia. Religious wars on blogs like this refers to defending fiercely what you believe in, without having to give motivations or reasons. Anyway here is Simple Religion, 1. Behave with power distribution as a general principle. 2. All that value this second rule are to be valued and respected generally highly inherently within them self. 3. Create, evaluate, manage and maintain quality. (The checksum for this religion is 185 visible characters. 185=37*5. 37 is the Judeo-Christian number (google otherbiblecode) and 5 is the Islam number (5 pillars). How does SR relate to, good evil right left light dark Evil is stronger than good. Since absence of pain is more important than pleasure. Since fear is a stronger motivational factor than love. What deeply changes a persons world view is when this one realises a personal detrimental factor. You cannot fight evil with good. This is like stoping the rotating knives in a lawn mower by your hands; the knives will continue rotating. You can only fight evil with evil - an iron bar into the knives. This is when (1) of SR comes in. Since evil is so efficient in gaining and maintaining power you need other evil to balance this evil so that power concentration due to evil does not become total. (1) is in self interest. Either you take control of the instruction structure of the evil empire, or you fight the evil empire with your own evil pole and instruction structure. Appeasement does not work. This will only increase the power of the evil adversary. To fight evil not in your interest you need revenge. You need to control borders. Nationalism and controlling borders is as natural choosing a parter for marriage. As natural as choosing employees for your company. You do not want someone to choose your marriage partner. You do not want others to choose who shall work for your company. You do not want open borders to the nation. Since conflict, harm and fear are so efficient power factors that spread exponentially, you need national borders as a barrier to the uncontrolled spread of power concentrating ideologies. You need to kick out people of your nation (e.g. to prisons). You need to control the power concentrating political movements across borders. This rule (SR 1.) has a clear standing against mass immigration and the defence of borders of nations. This since mass immigration across open borders of the world lead to power concentration of certain power seeking ideologies that take over democracies by sheer numbers of new population. This is clear. Controlled borders mitigates power concentration. But I want good to win, prevail. What a dilemma. The solution is that good uses evil. Like the myth that God (the good side in the myth) uses the Devil. The good has something to offer, Degerfors, and this evil wants; we allow vacation and select entry and kick out people from there with the protection of evil in Degerfors (enemy of the enemy) that want good to organise and rule there. Therefore free immigration destroys all this and is not in interest of good. You should speak of good and goo… Some people that say the work for good are really goo. They are not evil nor good, they are undefined; goo. But they work for evil enemy, though usually they do not understand this. Degerfors is good only because we have good people, good rules and follow and enforce them and control immigration. Because Degerfors is such a highly prized object by the evil, there is a lot of pressure to steal it. Beware. Control evil by evil, so that good may prevail. right left Free capitalism (right) and communism (left) is power concentration in the long run. Therefore to live by SR (1), we need a mix of right and left. Degerfors poem is the answer. Purple, the holy mix of right and left. light dark The extremes are both a nightmare. Total openness leads to power concentration, like a chess game is done. Total darkness leads to confusion. You need a compromise. A torch is advantageous not to stumble on your path. Confuse your enemy with planted information. Select light to form an advantageous biased picture. People are really more stupid than you think. People want simple solutions. They do not listen to Einstein, “Make things as simple as possible, but no simpler”; they want to make it simpler than possible. Epitets are a powerful misguiding technique to your advantage.

Soon they discovered they could make the same paper slip to multiple parties for the same gold in the safe.

View in discussion Per Per new_number_2 a year ago The heading here is "English votes only for English laws" Laws in England are important. To have the right values when one writes laws is important. I hope to influence the law writers with this post. Here are some of my general values and thoughts right now. You probable have heard the phrase “All are of equal worth” repeated endlessly. This phrase’s popularity probably stems from as a consequence of the Nazi atrocities. What the Nazi’s did to the Jews and Romani people was absolutely horrific. But do we really in our hearts act and think as if this phrase was true? Would you for example marry any bloke just to prove to yourself that this phrase is true, and want to live up to it? You would not differentiate the value of different people. In some of the states of the USA they have the death penalty. Imagine whispering in the ear of a death row inmate; “You are just as much worth as everyone else, we’re just going to kill you.” The equal worth concept just lost its meaning in this specific example. The same for prison inmates. “You are as much worth as everyone else, however we’re going to lock you up.” On the other hand, if VIPs get blatant benefits that everyone else doesn’t it hurts. Envy and disgust can reach you. This envy and disgust fuels the erroneous phrase to become more true, and if we all lived up to it, we couldn’t punish criminals and you would have to marry just any bloke. If we can’t punish criminals, we have anarchy. And that we do not want. So we do not want to fuel this trueness of the phrase too much. Hence we should not give VIPs too much benefits that stings in the eyes of common people. However, we should all believe we are somebody special, since this helps with our self-esteem. If you have high self-esteem, you should of course use this to respect those that respects and love those that deserve your love. However, some people with too much self-esteem need to put in place. What about what the Nazis did? We should just stick to the conclusion that racism is wrong. And we should be refugee friendly. However, there has to be a balance to the refugee immigration. Proportions and reasonability is important. The anti immigration parties are a healthy and sound counter reaction to the mass immigration lobbyists. However, that said, I am for a reasonable immigration of refugees. Are all cultures of equal worth? No. The illegal drug culture is not of the same worth as a clean one in this context.(what good is your "master race" heritage if you are junkie (drug addict); thus culture is more important than race) The Nazi culture is not worth as much as a democratic culture. Please look up the meme definition in wikipedia. Thus we all have to make up our own personal culture. We all have value and weigh different cultural aspects. We have to accept or reject aspects of our common culture. We have to endorse and we have to fight. Who said life was easy? I myself have a value that is upsetting to many. I say no to God. Although religion is interesting, I like to think the definition of religion is values and statements that you hold dearly and defends fiercely. I do have values and statements that I defend fiercely; thus I have a religion. Part of my religion right now is, Absolutely not a God. Absolutely not free immigration. However I may change my views in the future. Regards, /Per 1 View in discussion Per Per latue a year ago Interestingly, I have my own religion. I believe in many Gods.

Do you know the Swedish language? Here is a translation to Swedish, “Låt inte Gudarnas Vrede bli given till dig eller din framtida värld.” Why do I think there are many Gods? As I told a my Muslim acquaintance Mikael here in Sweden (he lives in the house next door, and he tried to get me to become a Muslim, but I said no), by the following argument. Imagine if in the beginning there was only one God, what would God do first? Get God friends. He would create another God, and another God and so on. First after this the Gods would create this Universe, were we live. As an aquarium to watch and be amused at. I think it is credible. The Gods work in mysterious ways.

Representatives may be elected or become diplomatic representatives by a particular district (or constituency), or represent the entire electorate through proportional systems, with some using a combination of the two In Sweden we have proportional system of democracy. That means that coalitions can form and the coalition is a proportional representation of the votes. E.g. if a right wing coalition of many right wing parties form and they have a majority together, proportional to the votes, they form government. In UK there is, however, a constituency democracy. The party that wins the constituency wins the MP for the House of Commons. This can have the effect that a majority of right wing voters elect, through the system, a left wing government to power, since the split of parties that are centre-right wing (e.g. Conservatives, LIbDem and UKIP) loses constituencies to the left (e.g. Labour) simply because the split votes; the sum of the three centre-right parties may have a majority in the constituency, but since they are split Labour wins the constituency. For example consider a single constituency, 30 % Con 25% UKIP 5% Lib Dem 35% Labour 5% other Labour wins the constituency and gets a MP in the house of commons even though the centre-right three parties have 60% of the votes in the constituency. Divide and conquer is working for the Labour, it seems, even though it is not intentional.

This is not the case in todays world since we have competition in the food market, thus a “buyer’s market”. Thus competition is good. Where there are monopolies rich get richer. Thus 1% of the worlds population are so rich because they have control over the market. The government could mitigate this by forming companies that compete naturally with those profit margins of the super rich, and their riches would therefore be under pressure. This active forming of competing companies by the government has the positive side effect that the companies that the government form will probably be highly profitable since they enter a market that is highly profitable (what it comes down to is having the right people with right knowledge). Thus a government economic catalyst through initiatives. LOTTA is a natural idea to realise this. Want more excitement and enjoyment of your ability? Imagine going to a job with work mates that you enjoy the company of and face challenges together and solve the problems together. Self-esteem comes from challenges in work that you win over. These “wins” you can and should remember, and this causes you to feel better of yourself. LOTTA is a natural construct that can enable this for you. What is LOTTA? Read on. I believe UK could be the richest per capita nation in the world by 2030. There is hope. Let me present LOTTA, “Labour Organising Trust Through Agreements”. 1. Let people freely send in business ideas to this trust, through the internet. Encrypted communications to make valuable business ideas remain as secret as possible. The contributors are promised stocks in future companies based on these ideas, as a compensation, and the trust enforce this. The trust organises a easily searchable database of business ideas. 2. Let people, unemployed, new business seekers, people with employment that want to try their wings, pensioners looking for additional income, etc, apply to form teams with others; these teams form naturally through internet communications where each and everyone’s credentials and competence are shown. 3. Let these teams see a select portion of the business idea database. The originator/originators of the business ideas have to acknowledge the team using the idea. 4. To finance this use tax money or investors money, let taxpayers vote through internet at the LOTTA site on these teams with selected business ideas. If a taxpayer votes correctly, and the resulting business idea through a resulting stock company shows profit after some time (say 5 years), the taxpayer gets tax reductions/pay outs according how well the market value of the company is. Just by voting right, and each taxpayer should pay attention to read, analyse, and question each prospective team/prospective company with the right business idea before voting. If he or she votes incorrectly he or she will be punished by increased tax. What do you think? (Send your local politician an email today.

The quoted figure to measure the unemployment in the UK and elsewhere in the world is the official unemployment figure. Around 6% in UK. This figure is the percentage that WANT jobs and compared to those who SHOULD be able to work (excluding pensioners children invalid etc). My point is this official figure is in theory really irrelevant. It works now because we have not too many that rely on others work, such as pensioners. Should this figure change (rise dramatically) in the future, everyone will see that the official unemployment rate is really irrelevant. The relevant figure is the people that have jobs versus total population. This because those with jobs support those without jobs, whatever reason they do not work. Those with jobs bring in export income, help with NHS, shops, import and sale of goods, etc, etc. If ratio of those with jobs compared to the total population becomes too small, then society fails.

You went into the trap! What really matters is the total number of people working compared to total population. Imagine in the future 90% are pensioners (and children and invalids etc). And we have a available workforce of only 10% of population. Now imagine the official unemployment rate is 5%. That figure doesn't matter. There are simply not enough working people supporting those who do not work. Take care of the elderly, NHS, services, etc, etc. Do you agree now? View in discussion Per Per a year ago The total workforce number of jobs Sep 2014 was 33,492,000 (in UK). Compare that to the total population of UK 64,100,000 (2013 estimate) That gives that 52% are employed in the UK. This is the real figure that matters. Agree?

View in discussion Per Per zedman a year ago I would now want UK to vote OUT in the 2017 referendum (if realised through Conservatives win in May 7th election) Before I had a different opinion. I think my ambiguity reflects how many feel about the EU in the UK. See the following repeat posts, When should you be an isolationist and when should you be a unionist? Well it depends. It depends on what you isolate from and what you make a union with. In short, if you gain from having a union and fail to gain from being isolationist, you should be in a union. Therefore, after this statement, you have to evaluate the quality of who you marry. Basically the quality of who you marry is mostly dependent on the culture they live by. If the culture is good and enriches us, then we should marry, otherwise not. Remember, if UK decides to be isolationist, you have to live with political influences of UK alone. If you think the political scene in the UK is less stable and less beneficiary without political influence from the French, the Germans, the Italians, Sweden (my country is in the EU) and the rest of the EU, then UK should remain in the EU. To be concrete, if you are a Labour voter, and you think that Conservatives with win future elections in the UK, you should consider that the EU might mitigate the Conservatives influence in the UK. If you are a Conservative voter, and you think that Labour will win future elections in the UK, you should consider that the EU might mitigate the Labour political influence in the UK. It is my opinion that the UK should stay in the EU, since i love the UK and it is my honest opinion that the UK influence on the EU is positive, and the EU influence on the UK is positive. However, the UK should stick to the Pound as long as possible, and the currency should be “floating” according to currency markets. This is my current opinion of how the political state of affairs in currently in the EU and UK, however should they change dramatically to the worse my opinion may change. If you like, I would wish to express some opinions on trade. Should we have completely free trade without tariffs and regulation? No. The reason is that UK will be a poorer country in the future if we import consumer goods and trade this with strategic and tactic UK property net, so that the perishable consumer goods that we traded to us leaves us with foreign ownership of said property (such as land, real estate, natural resources) and in the long term we have nothing left (perishable consumer goods, e.g. form China and India) and a resulting foreign (e.g. China and India) ownership of said property and thus a real disadvantageous power shift protected by our own ownership laws. The song that is telling if we want to marry or not is “Kisses of Fire” (from the album “Voulez-Vous”) by ABBA. The best song by ABBA in my opinion. Listen to the song for free on Spotify here http://open.spotify.com/track/... PS. I am very content with Spotify. Good sound quality and fast access. Spotify has enriched my quality of life.

The contributors are promised stocks in future companies based on these ideas, as a compensation, and the trust enforce this. The trust organises a easily searchable database of business ideas. 2. Let people, unemployed, new business seekers, people with employment that want to try their wings, pensioners looking for additional income, etc, apply to form teams with others; these teams form naturally through internet communications where each and everyone’s credentials and competence are shown. 3. Let these teams see a select portion of the business idea database. The originator/originators of the business ideas have to acknowledge the team using the idea. 4. To finance this use tax money or investors money, let taxpayers vote through internet at the LOTTA site on these teams with selected business ideas. If a taxpayer votes correctly, and the resulting business idea through a resulting stock company shows profit after some time (say 5 years), the taxpayer gets tax reductions/pay outs according how well the market value of the company is. Just by voting right, and each taxpayer should pay attention to read, analyse, and question each prospective team/prospective company with the right business idea before voting. If he or she votes incorrectly he or she will be punished by increased tax. What do you think?

If UKIP had 32% and CON had 11% then "vote CON get LAB" could be a point. But now CON has 32% and UKIP 11%, thus what you are saying is rubbish. View in discussion Per Per cargill55 a year ago Repeat post from autumn 2014, Considering the "Left-wing howling mob" being anti UKIP, they should really, tactically and strategically speaking, be pro UKIP, see the following argument. Representatives may be elected or become diplomatic representatives by a particular district (or constituency), or represent the entire electorate through proportional systems, with some using a combination of the two In Sweden we have proportional system of democracy. That means that coalitions can form and the coalition is a proportional representation of the votes. E.g. if a right wing coalition of many right wing parties form and they have a majority together, proportional to the votes, they form government. In UK there is, however, a constituency democracy. The party that wins the constituency wins the MP for the House of Commons. This can have the effect that a majority of right wing voters elect, through the system, a left wing government to power, since the split of parties that are centre-right wing (e.g. Conservatives, LIbDem and UKIP) loses constituencies to the left (e.g. Labour) simply because the split votes; the sum of the three centre-right parties may have a majority in the constituency, but since they are split Labour wins the constituency. For example consider a single constituency, 30 % Con 25% UKIP 5% Lib Dem 35% Labour 5% other Labour wins the constituency and gets a MP in the house of commons even though the centre-right three parties have 60% of the votes in the constituency. Divide and conquer is working for the Labour, it seems, even though it is not intentional. Thus the left should hope for that UKIP splits the right wing voters, since then they will win the general election. View in discussion Per Per cargill55 a year ago Rubbish.

Imagine if in the beginning there was only one God, what would God do first? Get God friends. He would create another God, and another God and so on. First after this the Gods would create this Universe, were we live. As an aquarium to watch and be amused at. I think it is credible. The Gods work in mysterious ways.

If so, when? I would like to see that/those debate/debates. A note to the text I posted before, regarding advice to Cameron, you may think one should hold those advice secret and surprise with the arguments on the debate. Well the advice is general, and for others to take counter actions and say they do not stand for these things I attributed to them and described would make the lose support. For example, if Labour would say as a counter measure to the text "We do not stand for world solidarity, we put Britain first!" would make them look ridiculous. They have been standing for world solidarity their entire history. They would look like those people adhering to the "game player syndrome" (see below). Watchers of TV debates, beware. Here is some erudite text following, Speaking out exaggerated appraisal or critic, generosity or budget cuts (greed) is all about showing off with apparent action worthiness, when they know at their back of their minds that society will collapse. In this case, it’s all about a big laugh. From quantum physics the notion of collapse of the wave function has an important role in social circumstances, to sift through the standings that people take. Giving names to clarify is important. Names to love and names to loathe; associations help motivate towards quality, conditional respect and deserved distribution of power. Be aware of the “Game player syndrome” in courts or politics especially in a media landscape. Basically what this is, is a “player” who view everything as a game, where the only main object is to win in the short term, “the game”. One can lie and hide the truth as much as one wants, as long as you’ve calculated that you’ll get away with it to win “the game”. One can make up facts, make up false witnesses, make blatant denials, make intricate believable made­up stories, all with the object to convince the audience that one is right (even though one self knows one is not), just to win that media battle, that political debate, that court case. The hard core variant of “Game player syndrome” is, of course, “Horned game player syndrome”; the object is to win, no other rules (religious, moral, criminal justice, house rules, own rules). “Don’t you respect me, anymore?” “What?” “The choices I have made are my choices, and I identify with them. For you to make radically different choices is like spitting in my face.

View in discussion Per Per CATTY&Co. a year ago Regarding Jesus, here are some arguments as to why he never existed. Either Jesus is a myth or he was real. Here are some motives as to argue for the myth, 1. The religious community needed a figure (imaginary and basis for the myth) to focus on that would confirm the Old Testament. ("I have not come to abolish the law" as Jesus basically said) 2.The people longed for a messias, then a made up messias is almost as good. 3.The emotional basis for such a myth to spread quickly was there (the originators of the myth felt the vibes in the air) and then some people thought it would be fun to be the originators of such a myth and then other people joined. The most important points (that I have in memory right now) that Jesus never existed are 1. You don't write down the story of Jesus decades later if he now could make magic and thus proved he was God's son; you write down the story immediately. 2. Fairly stupid of Jesus to say that the Devil shall burn, and then say that he is the Devil himself (morningstar).God(s) seems smart considering the Laws of Physics (the Laws of Nature), how then can his son be such dumb being. (Why is this dumb? Because the spirit of the two signals (Jesus said according to the Bible 1. Devil is bad and shall burn [St. MATTHEWS. 25:41], 2. I am the Devil [REVELATION. 22:16]) he is sending is contradictory.) View in discussion Per Per a year ago There is basically one major choice Cameron has regarding the issue at hand (read Dan’s article) Either (1) Take part in the debate or (2) Avoid the debate. (with or without the Greens in TV) I prefer choice (1). The reasons is that probably a lot of “devout” Conservatives and potential Conservatives will be looking at the debate regardless of Camerons absence. Since there is a lot of interest in the political TV debates, and people may have nothing better to watch on the telly. The problem, of course, is that Farage has such a charming character that “goes home” (Swedish expression translated literally) in the homes. To make things worse, Farage is quick and a master at with a “to the point” disarming reply (yes I have seen Farage on youtube) But Farage will “go home” regardless if Cameron is there or absent. Since he is fun to watch. Assuming Cameron is to win the debate with Farage, here are a few tips. 1. Begin with (to have it said first): “Myself me being a simple, slow and prudent man has the disadvantage that I am not manic and quick with punchlines that appear emotionally to win the argument. I therefore as an advice want people think of what was really said by me and my opponent at the time. Not on HOW it was said. Remember a funny quick one line type of debater may not be the best to rule in Government, rather a slow, analytical, prudent politician with the heart in the right place.” 2. Then declare yourself: “I Cameron am a strong non-racist, both emotionally and intellectually. I have seen adopted children of other races being flawless citizens and talk and walk just like us. It is our culture we should be proud of, not our race. I am also somebody who respects (but no believer) other world religions, simply because of their size in terms of their adherents. I am prudent, economic and careful, as my record shows for the last 5 years.” 3. Then state your interests: “I want our British culture to prevail in Britain. I am putting by far most Britons interests regardless of creed or race, man or woman, poor or rich into my priority. Please keep visiting a major newspaper commenters’ blog so that I or my paid staff can read them and inform me, in a digest. Then when the debate starts keep this things in your head. 1. Repeat strong points e.g. Economy past record, control immigration, enough money to the NHS, EU IN/OUT referendum, enough money to the schools. Remember if there is a lot of money to spend, welfare spending is so much easier. Economy is the key. I am delighted when I see a success story of a simple poor man working hard in their own business building up to a good life by themselves and some cooperation. I am delighted when a motivated student excels and does good use at a work later in life. These kind of people bring in the bacon through taxes to people like me, and the vulnerable out of solidarity. 2a. Fight other’s strong points. Farage has “out of EU”. You say the referendum makes this issue mute, since people can vote separately and don’t need UKIP for that. Farrage has immigration. Thank Farage for bringing it on the table. Conservatives now want to limit and control immigration, though it will take time, We still will be a refugee friendly nation, yet the numbers will come down some so we need to prioritise the most hurt refugees with most need for protection. 3b. Fight other’s strong points. Miliband will be speaking of the poor and the vulnerable. Cameron must say we have compassion too. “Tory’s have gone to the left with me. We care about the poor, in fact tax cuts for the poorest are our priority. Solidarity with the vulnerable is also a priority. You shall not feel abandoned in Britain with the Tories, simply because you are lucky enough to be a Briton.” 3c. Clegg - well I don’t know much of this guy, please fill in the facts for me. (An appeal to the readers and writers on this Telegraph blog) 4a. Point out other’s weak points. Farage has no government experience. What will Britain look like with libertarian UKIP in power? Lassoer-free economics? That is what it says about libertarian. And to be nasty, which I don’t recommend you can say that a lot of closet racists probably vote UKIP. “Do you want to repatriate my work mates and my kids friends?” “Do you want to repatriate my adopted son from Africa?” 4b Point out other’s weak points. Labour ran up a huge deficit, didn’t they. They feel international solidarity with the whole world, and want mass immigration to make British born vulnerable be hit by the costs of international vulnerable coming to Britain.

Economy The economy is dependent on the world economy. Is there a recession in USA and EU, you can be sure UK is affected. Politician should make sound general rules for the UK market economy and let people work their way up. Of course from time to time, emergency actions seems to be needed, since a market economy tends to be fluctuating, and we cannot let people starve in the recessions. 2. Immigration All three main parties now speak of controlling immigration. In priority to reduce 1. UKIP 2. Conservatives 3. Labour 3. NHS It is my belief that NHS details should be managed by administrators at the hospitals, doctors and nurses, with the govt only making budget allowance, broadly speaking. The problem is the ageing population and constant new expensive treatments being made available, and the of course the constant pressure from patients, saying "If he/she gets treatment, so should I, even though it is expensive". I suppose you see the problem on the limited budget. View in discussion Per Per bob3 a year ago To my understanding, the main issue from these four for each of the main parties, Labour : NHS Conservative: Economy UKIP : Immigration 1 View in discussion Per Per a year ago Interesting article. In short, if Nigil, Nick and Ed goes for three-man debate, Nigil will be the winner and slap the others on the fingers. Dan Hodges is making the argument that Nick and Ed need David there as a punch-bag, because (my words following) )people always complain about the current situation (justified or not) and want someone to blame in the blame game. According to ipsos poll Sep 2014 poll, the four main issues are 1. Economy 2. Immigration 3. NHS 4. Education Thus it is safe to assume debates will be about these topics. The topics are interrelated. Money. There is a budget. If you increase (2) costs then you have to reduce (3) and (4). Of course you can hope for a growth in the economy (1) to reduce the strain on the budget. But the fact remains, as elementary budget teachings teach, if you increase the cost of one item in the budget, you have to reduce the cost elsewhere. Or borrow money. But then your children and grandchildren have to pay for your welfare now. Some people are good at acting slowly and prudently, at the cost of giving fast responses in a debate, with one liner punch lines. People need to understand that the most manic "quick" thinker may not be the best to govern the country, yet he or she may win debates.

Imagine if in the beginning there was only one God, what would God do first? Get God friends. He would create another God, and another God and so on. First after this the Gods would create this Universe, were we live. As an aquarium to watch and be amused at. I think it is credible. The Gods work in mysterious ways.

The Conservative Party will go into total meltdown if Cameron loses again. We recognise the long-term threat of inflating Farage, of course we do.

Rubbish. See this following repeat post from 2014, The heading here is "English votes only for English laws" Laws in England are important. To have the right values when one writes laws is important. I hope to influence the law writers with this post. Here are some of my general values and thoughts right now. You probable have heard the phrase “All are of equal worth” repeated endlessly. This phrase’s popularity probably stems from as a consequence of the Nazi atrocities. What the Nazi’s did to the Jews and Romani people was absolutely horrific. But do we really in our hearts act and think as if this phrase was true? Would you for example marry any bloke just to prove to yourself that this phrase is true, and want to live up to it? You would not differentiate the value of different people. In some of the states of the USA they have the death penalty. Imagine whispering in the ear of a death row inmate; “You are just as much worth as everyone else, we’re just going to kill you.” The equal worth concept just lost its meaning in this specific example. The same for prison inmates. “You are as much worth as everyone else, however we’re going to lock you up.” On the other hand, if VIPs get blatant benefits that everyone else doesn’t it hurts. Envy and disgust can reach you. This envy and disgust fuels the erroneous phrase to become more true, and if we all lived up to it, we couldn’t punish criminals and you would have to marry just any bloke. If we can’t punish criminals, we have anarchy. And that we do not want. So we do not want to fuel this trueness of the phrase too much. Hence we should not give VIPs too much benefits that stings in the eyes of common people. However, we should all believe we are somebody special, since this helps with our self-esteem. If you have high self-esteem, you should of course use this to respect those that respects and love those that deserve your love. However, some people with too much self-esteem need to put in place. What about what the Nazis did? We should just stick to the conclusion that racism is wrong. And we should be refugee friendly. However, there has to be a balance to the refugee immigration. Proportions and reasonability is important. The anti immigration parties are a healthy and sound counter reaction to the mass immigration lobbyists. However, that said, I am for a reasonable immigration of refugees. Are all cultures of equal worth? No. The illegal drug culture is not of the same worth as a clean one in this context.(what good is your "master race" heritage if you are junkie (drug addict); thus culture is more important than race) The Nazi culture is not worth as much as a democratic culture. Please look up the meme definition in wikipedia. Thus we all have to make up our own personal culture. We all have value and weigh different cultural aspects. We have to accept or reject aspects of our common culture. We have to endorse and we have to fight. Who said life was easy? I myself have a value that is upsetting to many. I say no to God. Although religion is interesting, I like to think the definition of religion is values and statements that you hold dearly and defends fiercely. I do have values and statements that I defend fiercely; thus I have a religion. Part of my religion right now is, Absolutely not a God. Absolutely not free immigration. However I may change my views in the future.

It really doesn't matter to what “race” people belong - it is the “culture” -the attitudes, beliefs, including religion and values that they are brought up with -that determines their behaviour. And multiculturalism is a the sharing of cultural space with those who hold diametrically opposed views about life to you -fed by the intolerance of differences and the natural human cultural desire to dominate and expand one's own community at the expense of others,almost by definition always leads to sectarianism and conflict.

Thus some people get critic on not what they are as a character, no matter how well they behave, no matter what good manners they have, no matter how prudent and wise they are, no matter how well they judge proportionally and balanced, but critic because of their biological heritage, their genes as a group of people, their race. Thus a white person that is a real disaster as a character might get more respect than a black person that behaves flawlessly. Is this right? Is this not a big problem? The issue is motivation to BEHAVE well. If white people get a free ride of respect simply because of their race, what motivation do they as a population have to behave well? If black people get condemned regardless of behaviour, simply because of race, what motivation do they have to behave well? Do you see the issue? We want a good society, and in a good society you get judged by your BEHAVIOUR, since this motivates people to behave well.

Representatives may be elected or become diplomatic representatives by a particular district (or constituency), or represent the entire electorate through proportional systems, with some using a combination of the two In Sweden we have proportional system of democracy. That means that coalitions can form and the coalition is a proportional representation of the votes. E.g. if a right wing coalition of many right wing parties form and they have a majority together, proportional to the votes, they form government. In UK there is, however, a constituency democracy. The party that wins the constituency wins the MP for the House of Commons. This can have the effect that a majority of right wing voters elect, through the system, a left wing government to power, since the split of parties that are centre-right wing (e.g. Conservatives, LIbDem and UKIP) loses constituencies to the left (e.g. Labour) simply because the split votes; the sum of the three centre-right parties may have a majority in the constituency, but since they are split Labour wins the constituency. For example consider a single constituency, 30 % Con 25% UKIP 5% Lib Dem 35% Labour 5% other Labour wins the constituency and gets a MP in the house of commons even though the centre-right three parties have 60% of the votes in the constituency. Divide and conquer is working for the Labour, it seems, even though it is not intentional. Thus the left should hope for that UKIP splits the right wing voters, since then they will win the general election. (15 Oct) " Now my comment regarding this article, it is really really simple in the light of the above; Cameron wants Greens to steal Labour votes in the same way UKIP steals Conservative votes. Maybe Ofcom is left biased. I clearly think so, regarding their draft decision. Do Real English be under the chains of the left?

The contenders to overtake this role is Chinese, Arabic, Spanish. I hope English will continue to be the international language. However, it is good to know some phrases of other languages, out of curiosity, courtesy and respect. Here is a lesson in very basic Swedish. (I am Swedish) 1. English (the language) is called "Engelska" in Swedish. "Engel" used to be the old Swedish spelling of English word Angel. Now it is changed to Ängel but sounds the same. "-ska" is the ending of languages, e.g. Tyska (German), Spanska (Spanish), Franska (French). Thus "Engelska" means literally "the language of the Angels" in Swedish. Interesting. Should help you keep confidence and self-esteem in your culture, at least your language. 2. "Man får ta seden dit man kommer" is a proverb in Swedish literally "You have to take in the [local] customary manners to wherever you go" 3. "Smaken är som baken, delad" The taste is like the buttocks, split 4. "Det man inte har i huvudet, får man ha i benen" What you don't have in your head you have to have in your legs. 5 View in discussion Discussion on Telegraph 941 comments Britain's hospitality is being abused Per Per egriff5514 a year ago I am aware of that.

View in discussion Per Per Guest a year ago Thank you. I want to make quality posts, almost perfect. (Note "and" should be "und") Just for your information, I chose my words carefully. I said feeble minded. Not less intelligent. (Though I know feeble minded is really a rewrite for less intelligent, but I want to convey a mind that is emotionally weak and humble, like you break down any new soldier's own pride, and then build him up again following orders and being loyal) That is because I don't think vulnerable are less intelligent. However they are emotionally into a state of carefulness, weakness. If a vulnerable was going out strong "WE SHOULD CUT IMMIGRATION" the next question would be "Why do you think we should help you and not any other vulnerable in the world?". Vulnerable in Britain are expected to be grateful and thankful and keeping a low profile. Since they rely on outside help. 1 View in discussion Per Per a year ago Here is my take on immigration. A country can be likened to a house. There is a world outside the house. Some say, we should open the windows of the house in the winter to warm the air outside! What folly. This is exactly the mass immigration lobbyists’ folly. Some even say we should smash the windows and doors broken and throw the repairmen in jail! Sure ventilation is good. Without it there may be a bad smell inside the house. In ventilation the air is from the air outside is warmed. This can be likened to immigrants integrating with our culture. It is easy to be home blind. You think the world outside Britain is the same. This is not the case. In Britain we take care of the vulnerable. Outside Britain handicapped may have to beg on the streets to survive. Get a stroke and you’re condemned to beg if you have no family to support you. You may think the current culture of Britain will always remain. Look at the pre-nazi Germain culture and what it became 1939-1945. Ein Volk von Dichtern and Denkern. That became Ein Volk von Richter and Henker. (One people of poets and thinkers became one people of executioners and hangmen.) Many vulnerable are naive, empathetic and feeble minded. They want mass immigration. That is the sadness of it, since the English vulnerable are the hardest hit by mass immigration since there is a budget to follow in England - if you spend money on immigrants you have to cut down somewhere else, broadly speaking (with economic growth this is mitigated, but the concept is right since you cannot have eternal economic growth in a limited world.) 15 View in discussion Discussion on Telegraph 3639 comments The battle to keep our Union together has only just begun Per Per SeocAnAonaidh a year ago I am Swedish, you see.

Obviously the English would have a great disadvantage for Scottish independence, and the English no is of no real debate, its obvious to vote no if you were English. For the Scottish, a no is too to prefer. Why? Because the brand name of Great Britain is so well established, consider for example the Australia has the Union Jack in its flag.

(SextusEmpiricus) 2 View in discussion Discussion on Telegraph 5521 comments Is the pause in global warming blowing out? Per Per shaft120 a year ago You want to Tax Harm. What this means To Tax Harm seems to be a new concept. Traditionally taxing is primarily a way of income for the taxer. Now, Tax Harm means literally to put a cost in the form of government tax to harmful activities, short or long term. Tax HARM is an acronym of Tax Human Activities Regarding Malpractice. What is not intended as a message is "Taxes in themselves are harmful.". Tax share We are not proponents of increasing the total share of taxes in regard to GDP, rather to shift the tax weight of different taxable entities; in other words to tax or raise tax on harmful activities we necessarily must lower taxes of benign activities, for example income tax of work that is benign. Tax and reverse subsidy Tax works as reverse subsidy, it motivates people to decrease the taxable entity. For example, if it is established that fossil CO2 emissions leads in the future 100 years to a warmer harsher environment with significant raised sea levels, then that harsher environment incurs a increased cost of living for the inhabitants 100 years from now; do we have the right, with our current knowledge, to incur this cost? If you think it is questionable, or downright no, that we have a right to worsen severely the situation for future inhabitants of Earth, then this Non Governmental Organisation might interest you to read on, and even support us with the tax HARM policy since this tax motivates people to do less harm in society, in the short and long term, since it is a reverse subsidy. Relative taxes Economical activities in a society are relative to each other. If you tax one activity more than others, then in reality you subsidy implicitly the others. This, for example, means that if you tax harmful activities extra relative to benign, you in reality subsidy the benign so that they have a greater chance to thrive, and you quench proportional to the tax rate the harmful economical activities. Fossil CO2 emissions Regarding fossil CO2 emissions, that by logic and empirical studies, will increase the percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere, by a worrying rate, then if you multiply that rate with the not to distant years ahead of us, we will reach much higher percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere, than we have today; and since CO2 is a greenhouse gas, from empirical chemistry and physics measurements, it is easy to conclude that the average temperature of the earth will rise; this temperature rise is supported in numerous empirical measurements; please refer to wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G... to see the empirical graphs of temperature rise throughout time. CO2 is in fact rising, and it has consequences CO2 is rising. This wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G... shows the graphs. Those graphs also show that CO2 historically (ancient) has had even larger percentages; however humans and their constructions did not exist then, and if we assume a warmer climate then and risen seas, no coastal cities were drenched, no farmland were flooded, increased spread of malaria and dengue fever did not affect any humans. But now we see a temperature rise, and we forecast rising sea levels and with that flooding of lowland coastal land; less housing and less arable land - less food - more diseases - in short, harsher living conditions for inhabitants 100 years from now Redistribution of fertile lands and its risk full consequences With warming climate, there will be almost certainly a redistribution of fertile and desert lands, this is in the nature of the stochastic (randomness) weather. What if climate change makes India and China a large desert, both nuclear armed countries; will they just lay down and die, or will they, as the human spirit in most calls for, fight for their survival by, for example, occupying fertile land in other countries? In such a scenario, migration pressure will also increase, and this will almost certainly lead to large influxes to nations with arable land, since what is politically correct do to, which most politicians have as their policy nowadays, is to be humane and not watch all those millions starve. The gamblers Can you see the gamble here? We gamble with the wealth of our future generations, future children and grandchildren, nephews and nieces; all in the name of comfort for us, even though the sacrifice need not be that rough, if done right. Taxing CO2 and market-forces Taxing of fossil CO2 (one instance of tax HARM) will get the market-forces to work for alternatives, market-forces always looks for the cheapest price of comparable quality, if tax makes a goods or service expensive, then less taxed goods and services has an advantage in the market economy; people and companies don't like to pay taxes, so they will look for alternatives, the market demand for alternatives will increase dramatically with a hefty tax on CO2; yet the taxes will not rise for individuals, since income tax can be lowered accordingly, so you get the same amount of money as before, only now the direction and incentives to find technological innovation to be less dependent on CO2 will increase (better wind, wave, nuclear, solar cell, battery storage technologies). Corporations and individuals behavioural patterns will want to reduce CO2 emissions (Better salesperson road trips, less time in the shower, find local producers of vegetables and meat). Social behavioural patterns (e.g. people will find jobs closer to where they live, and since it is the same rules for everyone competition forces work as before and will attract labour by having smaller decentralised manufacturing and service locations near the residential areas) that decrease CO2 from fossils will be encouraged; all in the comfort of the same amount of money as before. Alternative energy sources will be given a good start quickly and then market forces will make them cheaper and cheaper, and soon we have shifted our fossil dependancy to a much safer alternative without loosing too much comfort. CO2 tax will make us work closer to out homes, as said, which calls for a repeat, decentralise offices so that a local office in your neighbourhood becomes economically attractive - shorter commute to work without the traffic; we might get more comfort now with tax HARM, tax CO2 Tax HARM is fair Same rules for everyone, at least for all the major economies. This means everyone competes under the same rules. Oil companies can invest in renewables and get profit. Don't you think our children and children's children deserve a better future than what is projected with current CO2 emission levels? Fairness is about balanced positive or negative deserve in relation to the actual circumstances. Other examples of tax HARM Other examples of tax HARM is crime and punishment (you have to pay a fine or pay time in prison, if caught, in other words dynamically taxed (but with strict regulation of this dynamic - dynamic in the sense there is no strict percentage of restriction of freedom (no static taxing of freedom), rather a court judges and try to find a balanced sentence dynamically) with assets or time, according to sentence), malpractice in medical establishments (after suing courts can pay out damages, which can be seen as dynamic taxes), reckless or negligent practice of work that result in products or services that result in injuries (suing, see previous), manmade environmental disasters (suing see previous). Possible worsening of CO2 (or greenhouse gases) effects Methane is a greenhouse gas more efficient than CO2. This gas is bound in the seafloor as a hydrate. A warming of the seas could release this hydrate as a methane. Further, permafrost holding methane on land could be released as temperatures increase. This could worsen the effects. Possible mitigation of CO2 (or greenhouse gases) effects There has been some recent (year 2014) scientific discovery regarding that the sun's activity and intensity is less than before. During the years 1600's the sun's activity and intensity was less, and winters where harsh and very cold. There thus seems to be another such period in the sun's variations. This can mean that the CO2 emissions is actually positive, mitigating the lowering of temperatures due to the sun's less shining on earth. The issue is complex.

As the "mascot minion" of the year (see below) Islamic State members are "astute blamers" of the year (see below). There are two types of major deceptions you should know. These deceptions are old, effective, tested and works. They work because most people are stupid, and therefore they will probably always work. The deceptions have in common to deceive the public that “I am nice, I am innocent, they are bad.” The first one is “mascot minions”. You make up a mascot that protects you. And you say things that the public will like. Imagine a cake on the table. You say we should invite everyone in the village to eat of the cake, even though the cake is too small. You say we should vote if we should be this generous. There should be an open vote by raising hands. You argue for “yes - we should share the cake”. This nice attitude is your mascot. But it is only a mascot because deep down you really want the vote to turn out as a no. But you want the image of that you are generous, this image is your mascot. You are a minion to the public opinion since it is nice to be generous and unselfish. Thus you are a mascot minion. The problem is if everyone goes by this tactic. Everyone feels that they want to be a mascot minion. Then the vote will actually be a yes. To the disappointment of everyone in the house. But that is the way things will be. The second one is “astute blamer”. The “astute blamer” wants a credible reason to be evil. Evilness that they intend to realise as soon as an opportunity to blame arises, thus “astute blamer”. Everyone evil wants impunity. If you can blame credible your wrongdoing and people believe and are understanding, then you have in practise impunity. For example, you have a plan to be really evil. The plan is perfect and working. Now you only wait for some random person to enlighten the world of this dangerous plan. When this is done you can do your evil and blame the enlightener for the idea, “I got the idea from him, even though the idea is simple and obvious to most who think a little bit.” However the blame game work because most people are stupid. Be an “astute blamer”, blame me for the idea! View in discussion Per Per a year ago David Cameron is the Briton of the Year 2014. Cameron is the Prime Minister of England (or UK) and England is a metaphor for Degerfors (my fantasy good world) Cameron, here is an interesting read regarding your already strong wish to control immigration to the UK. How does SR relate to, good evil right left light dark Evil is stronger than good. Since absence of pain is more important than pleasure. Since fear is a stronger motivational factor than love. What deeply changes a persons world view is when this one realises a personal detrimental factor. You cannot fight evil with good. This is like stoping the rotating knives in a lawn mower by your hands; the knives will continue rotating. You can only fight evil with evil - an iron bar into the knives. This is when (1) of SR comes in. Since evil is so efficient in gaining and maintaining power you need other evil to balance this evil so that power concentration due to evil does not become total. (1) is in self interest. Either you take control of the instruction structure of the evil empire, or you fight the evil empire with your own evil pole and instruction structure. Appeasement does not work. This will only increase the power of the evil adversary. To fight evil not in your interest you need revenge. You need to control borders. Nationalism and controlling borders is as natural choosing a parter for marriage. As natural as choosing employees for your company. You do not want someone to choose your marriage partner. You do not want others to choose who shall work for your company. You do not want open borders to the nation. Since conflict, harm and fear are so efficient power factors that spread exponentially, you need national borders as a barrier to the uncontrolled spread of power concentrating ideologies. You need to kick out people of your nation (e.g. to prisons). You need to control the power concentrating political movements across borders. This rule (SR 1.) has a clear standing against mass immigration and the defence of borders of nations. This since mass immigration across open borders of the world lead to power concentration of certain power seeking ideologies that take over democracies by sheer numbers of new population. This is clear. Controlled borders mitigates power concentration. But I want good to win, prevail. What a dilemma. The solution is that good uses evil. Like the myth that God (the good side in the myth) uses the Devil. The good has something to offer, Degerfors, and this evil wants; we allow vacation and select entry and kick out people from there with the protection of evil in Degerfors (enemy of the enemy) that want good to organise and rule there. Therefore free immigration destroys all this and is not in interest of good. You should speak of good and goo… Some people that say the work for good are really goo. They are not evil nor good, they are undefined; goo. But they work for evil enemy, though usually they do not understand this. Degerfors is good only because we have good people, good rules and follow and enforce them and control immigration. Because Degerfors is such a highly prized object by the evil, there is a lot of pressure to steal it. Beware. Control evil by evil, so that good may prevail. right left Free capitalism (right) and communism (left) is power concentration in the long run. Therefore to live by SR (1), we need a mix of right and left. Degerfors poem is the answer. Purple, the holy mix of right and left. light dark The extremes are both a nightmare. Total openness leads to power concentration, like a chess game is done. Total darkness leads to confusion. You need a compromise. A torch is advantageous not to stumble on your path. Confuse your enemy with planted information. Select light to form an advantageous biased picture. People are really more stupid than you think. People want simple solutions. They do not listen to Einstein, “Make things as simple as possible, but no simpler”; they want to make it simpler than possible. Epitets are a powerful misguiding technique to your advantage. Many people are mascot minions - they want to appear nice and vote for open generosity to everybody, but hope others will be the people with the bad news; they are the heartless bastards, I am the saint.

Then his man wrote a letter to his comrades at Armour Mansion, “Come to this place, life is really good here.” Soon enough people came in droves from Armour Mansion. This changed the culture of Bird Cherry. Now people were fighting, torturing each other and life was the same as in Armour Mansion. The women who still remembered when Bird Cherry was a wonderful place, asked “Why are we suffering now?” They couldn’t figure it out… 7 View in discussion Per Per a year ago The harsher the society, the more torture will be accepted to fight terrorism. The harshness of the society is mainly dependent on the common culture. UK culture should have one culture; the historic English culture. UK should be monocultural. If they want to experiment with multi-culti, they can to that elsewhere. Let me present the “The ideology of the Nation state”. A nation can defined as a physical space with people in it defining and protecting its borders; the nation can say who are welcome and who are not, the nation can say who can stay and who cannot. The main defining aspect of a nation is some owned space and the protection of this space. In this nation, there are people who are the enemy of the nation. These people (the enemy) want free immigration or mass immigration, usually with the compassionate argument that those people outside the nation should be granted a safe haven. They look superficially how others suffer, and want a quick fix to their problem, they can immigrate. What they do not understand is why our nation is a good place in the first place, or why places outside the nation is a bad place. It is mainly culture. The reasons our nation is a good nation is because of our historic good culture. The importation of alien cultures, which comes with the people that immigrates, changes our ancient culture. Mass immigration even more, necessarily. The effect of these enemies within the nation, is that in the long term, our nation becomes one of those bad places like the rest of the bad places of the world, as a consequence of mass immigration and the resulting culture change in the nation. A fair question to all those compassionate short term feeling empathy and suffer panic among those in bad outside nations or places, and wanting to relieve their suffering by importing them, is: “Do you want all places on Earth to be a bad place?” Those with bad cultures have more physical conflicts and suffering, that is the essence of a bad culture. With these solidarity brothers in good culture nations (the enemy within), this bad culture spreads, since the bad cultures produces refugees and they and their culture move across borders and are accepted with warm arms by the alien culture huggers (the enemy within) and thus more and more bad culture enters our nation. Is this so hard to understand? Do you want all the worlds to be bad? The more UK stands out as a good nation, the more pressure from people fleeing to this nation; and this fact changes the UK to become one of those other bad nations. Think about it. We need controlled borders. Bad is more violence, more torture, more terrorism. There are other solutions, you know. 8 View in discussion Discussion on Telegraph 1093 comments Opec willing to push oil price to $40 says Gulf oil minister Per Per Ragwin a year ago I didn't say you'll get 100% efficiency, I said researches in Saarland have gotten 95% efficiency.

View in discussion Discussion on Telegraph 60 comments 'My seven biggest investment regrets' Per Per Per a year ago As a general principle in maintaining a good name and thus attract good competence and thus proving my theory to be true, is keeping the company decentralised with many small sub and sub sub companies (and so on sub sub sub etc), and each sub company votes for management, where this management does not have all power; thus devolution of power and democracy within. The same thing we can see in politics.

When a bad individual is at the top of a good name company, very bad things can happen.

View in discussion Per Per Ragwin a year ago What about Google and Apple? As a general principle it is true, is my belief, but there is always going to be exceptions. View in discussion Per Per a year ago The safest investment is usually a company with a good name. A good name attracts good competence naturally and therefore a positive spiral develops; the company stays competitive because of the good people in the company, and the good people remain in the company and attracts more competent people because of the good name. The ultimate good name company is a company that has the good name as the main asset. This can be, for example, a company that certifies that the content that other companies produce is valid, accurate and true. In these days where videos and photographs can be faked, internet pages can be custimized to individuals, the consumers need trust. They trust in the certifying body. This is especially important if you have misbehaved historically and fooled people. Now you can rely on the certifying body. And prosper because of this. 1 View in discussion Per Per a year ago "When it comes to purchase stocks (which can be applied to countries, buying bonds), here is some general advice. A good tip is to check that the boat floats before you sit in it. In more detail, if you were to purchase land from a farmer with the service of the farmer to culture grain all in one package, check the following. (1) That the farmer is efficient and competent enough at producing grain. (2) That the land and relevant infrastructure is productive and there, now and in the near future. (3) That the land is not over­speculated with too high prices, so that you go in with too high price. (4) That the current market demand and prices will not fall in the near future for grain. (5) That too many other farmers are planning to produce grain in the near future with falling prices for grain as a result of competition in a buyer’s market. (6) You feel confident that the farmer is motivated to work for you (follow the contract), and will not fool you right out or by forcing circumstances, e.g. by having huge debts, bad contracts, crime or war struck or otherwise in a tightrope that eliminates the possibility for sound economic farming work. The wrong people, even with the perfect right rules to guide them, will always be wrong, since they will not follow the rules, anyway. Right people is priority one, right rules and right policy, together with a system of enforcement is priority two, right leverage with own property, momentum or business secrets and right predicted return on capital business plan is priority three. Mind you, all three are important.

Catastrophes for humanity comes in two main categories, - man made catastrophes - natural catastrophes How do we prevent man made catastrophes? The short answer is having the right motivational structure, through right rules and enforcement of these rules. Enforcement is basically (1) reminders (2) retribution (3) reward. The right rules are basically (1) Devolution of power (2) Respect those that respects (3) Create, evaluate, manage and maintain quality You don't need to devolve power to those that you don't respect, this follows from the three rules above. Money can be used to realise (1) and (2) and motivate for (3). How do you do this practically? You install a virtual nation. Anyone that behaves and abides according to the above rules can be a member of this nation. Once you are a member of the nation (which you can be kicked out of if you misbehave), sub nations and sub sub nations and so on of this virtual nation can form according to (1) and (2). Each of these nations have to be profitable to the parent nation, that is the principle, otherwise they are discarded. The profits are moving upwards and reinvested in new and old promising nations down the chain, in delegation. Don't help a drug addict with money for drugs. Don't help with money to people doing harm. Don't help people interested in power concentration.

Well this can only be one thing. THE MAN. God as depicted in the Bible as a father. OK. What does this tell us about God? 666 has two numbers in them 6 and 3. (6 repeated 3 times).

How can we trust that Angels are not Hell's Angels? Why push in religion that there is only one God? IF THERE WAS ONLY ONE GOD; THEN THERE WOULD BE NO NEED TO PUSH THIS MESSAGE (THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD) IN RELIGIONS.

I will repeat the post you were referring to for your reference. What can I say about EU, well I am ambivalent about this "wife". Respect is a complex issue. Here is the post. When should you be an isolationist and when should you be a unionist? Well it depends. It depends on what you isolate from and what you make a union with. In short, if you gain from having a union and fail to gain from being isolationist, you should be in a union. Therefore, after this statement, you have to evaluate the quality of who you marry. Basically the quality of who you marry is mostly dependent on the culture they live by. If the culture is good and enriches us, then we should marry, otherwise not. Remember, if UK decides to be isolationist, you have to live with political influences of UK alone. If you think the political scene in the UK is less stable and less beneficiary without political influence from the French, the Germans, the Italians, Sweden (my country is in the EU) and the rest of the EU, then UK should remain in the EU. To be concrete, if you are a Labour voter, and you think that Conservatives with win future elections in the UK, you should consider that the EU might mitigate the Conservatives influence in the UK. If you are a Conservative voter, and you think that Labour will win future elections in the UK, you should consider that the EU might mitigate the Labour political influence in the UK. It is my opinion that the UK should stay in the EU, since i love the UK and it is my honest opinion that the UK influence on the EU is positive, and the EU influence on the UK is positive. However, the UK should stick to the Pound as long as possible, and the currency should be “floating” according to currency markets. This is my current opinion of how the political state of affairs in currently in the EU and UK, however should they change dramatically to the worse my opinion may change. If you like, I would wish to express some opinions on trade. Should we have completely free trade without tariffs and regulation? No. The reason is that UK will be a poorer country in the future if we import consumer goods and trade this with strategic and tactic UK property net, so that the perishable consumer goods that we traded to us leaves us with foreign ownership of said property (such as land, real estate, natural resources) and in the long term we have nothing left (perishable consumer goods, e.g. form China and India) and a resulting foreign (e.g. China and India) ownership of said property and thus a real disadvantageous power shift protected by our own ownership laws. The song that is telling if we want to marry or not is “Kisses of Fire” (from the album “Voulez-Vous”) by ABBA. The best song by ABBA in my opinion.

Most Muslims are reasonable and good. This means you are not a religious nut and are humble to the fact that your religious text that you follow may be in error and not appropriate in all circumstances. I respect Christians and Muslims that are reasonable in this sense, loosely speaking. I hope these people respect my religion, Simple Religion. View in discussion Per Per Guest a year ago Are you religious? The most important feature of Christianity is to say no to Islam. If you can follow the following reasoning, I would consider you intelligent enough. See it as a challenge, reread until you understand enough. Let me first quote the Bible, “2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.” (St. MATTHEWS. 7:2, KJV) What does this mean? 1. If you judge harshly and unjust people will judge you harshly and unjust. 2. If you judge soft and forgiving, you agree with the perpetrators judgement of who he hurt; then the perpetrator will hurt you the same way he did to the victim of the previous trial; and you have agreed to this hurting of innocent victim since you judged softly previously. In UK people look onto previous judgements of trials, it resides in the collective memory and is referred to. If you judge unjust (either too harshly or too softly) this will get back to you in the future, either as a harsh unjust judgement to you by the court, or a harsh unjust judgement by the perpetrator who got a soft judgement by you in court and will get another soft judgement in next court when he faces having hurt you; thus he is motivated to continue his unjust criminality and harsh judgement you agreed to by giving a soft sentence. What is required is a balanced and just judgement; this is the only way you can pass. How does this Bible quote relate to devolution of power? If you judge too softly then you do not devolve power from the perpetrator who have stolen (property, life, peace of mind, etc). If you judge too harshly, then you do not devolve power away from the court system enough; the court system has power to sentence too harsh punishments to anyone, guilty or not; thus we have power concentration to those who control the court system. Secondly, I am more for Christianity than Islam, though I say no to both these main religions and have my own religion.

View in discussion Per Per Guest a year ago I think we agree that we disagree. View in discussion Per Per Guest a year ago To understand my stand better, please have a religious read, The heading here is "English votes only for English laws" Laws in England are important. To have the right values when one writes laws is important. I hope to influence the law writers with this post. Here are some of my general values and thoughts right now. You probable have heard the phrase “All are of equal worth” repeated endlessly. This phrase’s popularity probably stems from as a consequence of the Nazi atrocities. What the Nazi’s did to the Jews and Romani people was absolutely horrific. But do we really in our hearts act and think as if this phrase was true? Would you for example marry any bloke just to prove to yourself that this phrase is true, and want to live up to it? You would not differentiate the value of different people. In some of the states of the USA they have the death penalty. Imagine whispering in the ear of a death row inmate; “You are just as much worth as everyone else, we’re just going to kill you.” The equal worth concept just lost its meaning in this specific example. The same for prison inmates. “You are as much worth as everyone else, however we’re going to lock you up.” On the other hand, if VIPs get blatant benefits that everyone else doesn’t it hurts. Envy and disgust can reach you. This envy and disgust fuels the erroneous phrase to become more true, and if we all lived up to it, we couldn’t punish criminals and you would have to marry just any bloke. If we can’t punish criminals, we have anarchy. And that we do not want. So we do not want to fuel this trueness of the phrase too much. Hence we should not give VIPs too much benefits that stings in the eyes of common people. However, we should all believe we are somebody special, since this helps with our self-esteem. If you have high self-esteem, you should of course use this to respect those that respects and love those that deserve your love. However, some people with too much self-esteem need to put in place. What about what the Nazis did? We should just stick to the conclusion that racism is wrong. And we should be refugee friendly. However, there has to be a balance to the refugee immigration. Proportions and reasonability is important. The anti immigration parties are a healthy and sound counter reaction to the mass immigration lobbyists. However, that said, I am for a reasonable immigration of refugees. Are all cultures of equal worth? No. The illegal drug culture is not of the same worth as a clean one in this context.(what good is your "master race" heritage if you are junkie (drug addict); thus culture is more important than race) The Nazi culture is not worth as much as a democratic culture. Please look up the meme definition in wikipedia. Thus we all have to make up our own personal culture. We all have value and weigh different cultural aspects. We have to accept or reject aspects of our common culture. We have to endorse and we have to fight. Who said life was easy? I myself have a value that is upsetting to many. I say no to God. Although religion is interesting, I like to think the definition of religion is values and statements that you hold dearly and defends fiercely. I do have values and statements that I defend fiercely; thus I have a religion. Part of my religion right now is, Absolutely not a God. Absolutely not free immigration. However I may change my views in the future. Regards, /Per — Don't let the Gods' Wrath bestow upon you or your future world. Do you know the Swedish language? Here is a translation to Swedish, “Låt inte Gudarnas Vrede bli given till dig eller din framtida värld.” Why do I think there are many Gods? As I told a my Muslim acquaintance Mikael here in Sweden (he lives in the house next door, and he tried to get me to become a Muslim, but I said no), by the following argument. Imagine if in the beginning there was only one God, what would God do first? Get God friends. He would create another God, and another God and so on. First after this the Gods would create this Universe, were we live. As an aquarium to watch and be amused at. I think it is credible. The Gods work in mysterious ways.

View in discussion Per Per a year ago Repetition of good stuff is a virtue, since people forget. This is good stuff in my opinion. The heading here is "English votes only for English laws" Laws in England are important. To have the right values when one writes laws is important. I hope to influence the law writers with this post. Here are some of my general values and thoughts right now. You probable have heard the phrase “All are of equal worth” repeated endlessly. This phrase’s popularity probably stems from as a consequence of the Nazi atrocities. What the Nazi’s did to the Jews and Romani people was absolutely horrific. But do we really in our hearts act and think as if this phrase was true? Would you for example marry any bloke just to prove to yourself that this phrase is true, and want to live up to it? You would not differentiate the value of different people. In some of the states of the USA they have the death penalty. Imagine whispering in the ear of a death row inmate; “You are just as much worth as everyone else, we’re just going to kill you.” The equal worth concept just lost its meaning in this specific example. The same for prison inmates. “You are as much worth as everyone else, however we’re going to lock you up.” On the other hand, if VIPs get blatant benefits that everyone else doesn’t it hurts. Envy and disgust can reach you. This envy and disgust fuels the erroneous phrase to become more true, and if we all lived up to it, we couldn’t punish criminals and you would have to marry just any bloke. If we can’t punish criminals, we have anarchy. And that we do not want. So we do not want to fuel this trueness of the phrase too much. Hence we should not give VIPs too much benefits that stings in the eyes of common people. However, we should all believe we are somebody special, since this helps with our self-esteem. If you have high self-esteem, you should of course use this to respect those that respects and love those that deserve your love. However, some people with too much self-esteem need to put in place. What about what the Nazis did? We should just stick to the conclusion that racism is wrong. And we should be refugee friendly. However, there has to be a balance to the refugee immigration. Proportions and reasonability is important. The anti immigration parties are a healthy and sound counter reaction to the mass immigration lobbyists. However, that said, I am for a reasonable immigration of refugees. Are all cultures of equal worth? No. The illegal drug culture is not of the same worth as a clean one in this context.(what good is your "master race" heritage if you are junkie (drug addict); thus culture is more important than race) The Nazi culture is not worth as much as a democratic culture. Please look up the meme definition in wikipedia. Thus we all have to make up our own personal culture. We all have value and weigh different cultural aspects. We have to accept or reject aspects of our common culture. We have to endorse and we have to fight. Who said life was easy? I myself have a value that is upsetting to many. I say no to God. Although religion is interesting, I like to think the definition of religion is values and statements that you hold dearly and defends fiercely. I do have values and statements that I defend fiercely; thus I have a religion. Part of my religion right now is, Absolutely not a God. Absolutely not free immigration. However I may change my views in the future. Regards, /Per — Don't let the Gods' Wrath bestow upon you or your future world. Do you know the Swedish language? Here is a translation to Swedish, “Låt inte Gudarnas Vrede bli given till dig eller din framtida värld.” Why do I think there are many Gods? As I told a my Muslim acquaintance Mikael here in Sweden (he lives in the house next door, and he tried to get me to become a Muslim, but I said no), by the following argument. Imagine if in the beginning there was only one God, what would God do first? Get God friends. He would create another God, and another God and so on. First after this the Gods would create this Universe, were we live. As an aquarium to watch and be amused at. I think it is credible. The Gods work in mysterious ways. There are in the literature today that exists many credible arguments as to that Jesus never existed. Josefus’ Testimonium Flavianum was a forgery, that is obvious.

Per Per Guest a year ago Politics is defined as the "art of power" (or "discipline of power"), in my book. Political correctness therefore means behaving in a correct way according to the power. Whether power is democratically elected politicians, the electorate, or the media. E.g. if a man before you holds a knife and is threatening, and if you have no weapon other than your fists and legs (and elbows, arms, head and body), then you have to consider being locally politically correct in order to survive the incident. 3 View in discussion Per Per Guest a year ago As a principle, I said.

Try to remember some of them to speak with friends and family at home or at the local pub. Fairness was a good start. Soft Marxists I assume is the same thing as communists. Back to fairness, something our politicians cannot be considered as exhibiting towards the British people where we Brits always come second to our European cousins. Indeed our old folk the 9,000 who will die this winter from the cold as estimated by the authorities, are ignored at the expense of flood defences overseas, India's space programme etc. Give them all £1,000 each to save their lives, cost £9 million. Be as generous to them as we are to the Ebola victims. I cannot see why not. Can someone please explain? (rinkaiso) — The Question Time audience once again clapping like seals at any anti-UKIP comment, six hours later 42% of Rochester vote for a victorious UKIP. It's not only politicians that take the public for idiots. (onedaysoon) >I think most of the opinion polls use the Question Time audience. (bob3) — Some politicians would love to limit suffrage, which is why the EU appeals so much. Thornberry's tweet is just another example of mock the voters. Even in business you generally try to please the customer, even if you don't like them. However, it's now politicians versus the voters. Strange way to behave- but the arrogance of those like Thornberry knows no bounds. (dataforget) — Terrifyingly, political correctness is becoming even more entrenched in academia. Where once unorthodox ideas were openly discussed and debated on university campus today a new breed of student, mockingly called the Stepford Students have swallowed pc ideology totally and have taken to shutting down debates and destroying offensive lingo. One day these glazed eyed conformist students with their lust to silence non conformist views will be running this country. (magicmoonbeam3) — The political classes and the bien-pensants of the BBC and the Guardian have regarded the flag of England as something to be despised for as long as I can remember - it is only to be flown during the World Cup. (upset) — Once again Janet hits many nails on the head, but there is still a sub-text that the major parties need to 'confront' UKIP. For their own sakes, maybe, but certainly not on behalf of the electorate. For the electorate's sake UKIP needs to confront the major parties - and that it exactly what it is doing very successfully. Long may it continue. (adrianlithgow) — Thornberry sent her son to the selective Dame Alice Owen's School fourteen miles away from her home and outside her constituency. As I recall, the Labour Party opposes selection. When will those who espouse the virtues of comprehensive education apply the logic of their political message to their own children? Thornberry defended her position by stating she felt the school should not have moved from its original location. Now you might think that sounds fair enough until you realise that the school moved in 1973 and Thornberry only moved into Islington in the early 90s Another champagne socialist who knows what's best for everybody else (Strativarius) — You make some interesting points on fairness which I agree with, Ms Daley - but I think you miss the mark on the underlying concerns about mass immigration. For me the problem is clear. Huge numbers of British people have seen their towns, villages and cities transformed from the familiar and comfortable places of their birth into strange and alien environments. And no one asked them if this is what they want. It was just imposed without so much of a by your leave. (lastingimpression) — It still amazes me that even after success after success that the Lib/Lab/Con still don't get it whatsoever. They left a gap in the market...a massive market and a party came along and plugged that gap. Now all of a sudden the Westminster elite, think they can try and force their way into that gap by using words like " fairness" and coming up with policies that UKIP have been advocating for years and being right royally told to "shut up you bigots and racist"! People are not stupid, they do understand that the powers that be in Westminster do not represent them and feigning mock concern for their anxieties over Mass immigration is not going to cut it whatsoever! UKIP, maybe the answer or maybe not but one thing UKIP have given which the political elite have not given it for years is a voice! (Michael Yeovil) — Britain is crumbling under the weight of numbers and there is nothing we can do about it at the moment. That is why people are voting UKIP. Its quiet simple, really. (The West) — An interesting little insight into the mindset of the lefties.

I responded with 'how about Scotland flags?' My post was deleted. — It seems to me that Emily Thornberry is not just out of touch with voters in the political sense: she is out of touch with the word "respect". If someone singled out my home, took a photo of it and - without any explanation or by-your-leave - flashed it about on the Twittersphere I'd feel upset - because I wouldn't know why. It's the not-knowing-why scenario that would be disconcerting. Putting aside Thornberry's supposed reasons it is still an act completely devoid of even basic courtesy and empathy.. That this was done by a front-bench MP who even now seems unable to see what she has done wrong is astonishing. (Penny) — The labour party have been turning the screws on the working class since Tony Blair took office. No class of people have suffered as much from mass immigration than the working class. When nulab slammed open the borders the main reason given was to keep wages down at the bottom. That they have done and with massive job displacement. Any working class person voting for them is off their rocker. (benbecula) — Unfortunately for us voters, it is not just fairness our political elite (snobbish or otherwise) does not understand. They have completely forgotten what we elected them for - to protect and look after our interests. That includes an effective border control agency, a strong defence force and effective law and order. As far as the first is concerned, thanks to our politicians, we have a porous border through which floods of immigrants enter at will, an overstretched and emasculated Defence force, and a thoroughly ineffective police force, which cannot cope now, yet is in danger of being reduced even further over the next few years. Our political elite have also abandoned the values, principles, morals and traditions which made this country great and gave us real standing in the world. In addition, we have been taken over by a foreign entity - the EU, and thanks to our political elite's posturing and its tendency to ignore the electorate's views/wishes, we have lost our sovereignty and all that entails. Fairness is the least of the things they find hard to understand. (elizabetha) 18 View in discussion Discussion on Telegraph 143 comments Praise indeed Per Per a year ago “I say no Christianity.

What this means you shouldn't *completely* trust a "good name" group epitet. You should always have a worry in the back of your mind. However if the group epitet is a warning of bad behaviour, you could more or less trust this epitet, for safety reasons. Better safe than sorry. However group epitets are convenient. For example when you get on a bus in England, you expect within reason that you won't be stabbed by an English on the bus ride, since you know that English culture is fairly civilised, thus you feel comfortable taking a bus ride. The alternative is to be completely paranoid about riding buses, and that might not be an option. However if you are a kid and you meet an English stranger asking you to go into his cellar, you should not trust this man because he adheres to the English culture. I think you get my point. View in discussion Per Per a year ago Here is a good tip to avoid a premature funeral of yourself or your loved ones. DO NOT TRUST A GROUP EPITET. For example, saying "I trust all Christians, they are good." Can get you into real trouble, since there are ALWAYS bad people in a group that has a label of being "good". The bad people want to borrow some of that credibility, so bad people naturally seek to such groups. You can be hurt tremendously by trust in this way. The sadest about Africans is that some look up to white people as a group. There are many bad white people, and many black people have been hurt by this naive over simplification. Being not hurt is more important than getting a benefit. Therefore you shall never trust a group that has a "good" "successful" epitet, since bad people are drawn to those, or as in the "white" group bad people are naturally born into this group.

He spoke passionately for his new club. Funny. View in discussion Per Per tomm a year ago Good post. Here is my take, Considering the "Left-wing howling mob" being anti UKIP, they should really, tactically and strategically speaking, be pro UKIP, see the following argument. Representatives may be elected or become diplomatic representatives by a particular district (or constituency), or represent the entire electorate through proportional systems, with some using a combination of the two In Sweden we have proportional system of democracy. That means that coalitions can form and the coalition is a proportional representation of the votes. E.g. if a right wing coalition of many right wing parties form and they have a majority together, proportional to the votes, they form government. In UK there is, however, a constituency democracy. The party that wins the constituency wins the MP for the House of Commons. This can have the effect that a majority of right wing voters elect, through the system, a left wing government to power, since the split of parties that are centre-right wing (e.g. Conservatives, LIbDem and UKIP) loses constituencies to the left (e.g. Labour) simply because the split votes; the sum of the three centre-right parties may have a majority in the constituency, but since they are split Labour wins the constituency. For example consider a single constituency, 30 % Con 25% UKIP 5% Lib Dem 35% Labour 5% other Labour wins the constituency and gets a MP in the house of commons even though the centre-right three parties have 60% of the votes in the constituency. Divide and conquer is working for the Labour, it seems, even though it is not intentional. Thus the left should hope for that UKIP splits the right wing voters, since then they will win the general election.

When should you be an isolationist and when should you be a unionist? Well it depends. It depends on what you isolate from and what you make a union with. In short, if you gain from having a union and fail to gain from being isolationist, you should be in a union. Therefore, after this statement, you have to evaluate the quality of who you marry. Basically the quality of who you marry is mostly dependent on the culture they live by. If the culture is good and enriches us, then we should marry, otherwise not. Remember, if UK decides to be isolationist, you have to live with political influences of UK alone. If you think the political scene in the UK is less stable and less beneficiary without political influence from the French, the Germans, the Italians, Sweden (my country is in the EU) and the rest of the EU, then UK should remain in the EU. To be concrete, if you are a Labour voter, and you think that Conservatives with win future elections in the UK, you should consider that the EU might mitigate the Conservatives influence in the UK. If you are a Conservative voter, and you think that Labour will win future elections in the UK, you should consider that the EU might mitigate the Labour political influence in the UK. It is my opinion that the UK should stay in the EU, since i love the UK and it is my honest opinion that the UK influence on the EU is positive, and the EU influence on the UK is positive. However, the UK should stick to the Pound as long as possible, and the currency should be “floating” according to currency markets. This is my current opinion of how the political state of affairs in currently in the EU and UK, however should they change dramatically to the worse my opinion may change. If you like, I would wish to express some opinions on trade. Should we have completely free trade without tariffs and regulation? No. The reason is that UK will be a poorer country in the future if we import consumer goods and trade this with strategic and tactic UK property net, so that the perishable consumer goods that we traded to us leaves us with foreign ownership of said property (such as land, real estate, natural resources) and in the long term we have nothing left (perishable consumer goods, e.g. form China and India) and a resulting foreign (e.g. China and India) ownership of said property and thus a real disadvantageous power shift protected by our own ownership laws.

It is like spitting in the face of the welfare state and the taxpayers who together want a good looking society. The beggars make this society look bad. The Romani know this, of course.

View in discussion Per Per Longshanks a year ago If I had UK citizenship and was eligible to vote May 7th, 2015, I would probably vote Conservative, with David Cameron. Einstein did the same thing every day, and expected a different result. He breathed, then one day he died, as he expected. Here is a repost to you Longshanks, The heading here is "English votes only for English laws" Laws in England are important. To have the right values when one writes laws is important. I hope to influence the law writers with this post. Here are some of my general values and thoughts right now. You probable have heard the phrase “All are of equal worth” repeated endlessly. This phrase’s popularity probably stems from as a consequence of the Nazi atrocities. What the Nazi’s did to the Jews and Romani people was absolutely horrific. But do we really in our hearts act and think as if this phrase was true? Would you for example marry any bloke just to prove to yourself that this phrase is true, and want to live up to it? You would not differentiate the value of different people. In some of the states of the USA they have the death penalty. Imagine whispering in the ear of a death row inmate; “You are just as much worth as everyone else, we’re just going to kill you.” The equal worth concept just lost its meaning in this specific example. The same for prison inmates. “You are as much worth as everyone else, however we’re going to lock you up.” On the other hand, if VIPs get blatant benefits that everyone else doesn’t it hurts. Envy and disgust can reach you. This envy and disgust fuels the erroneous phrase to become more true, and if we all lived up to it, we couldn’t punish criminals and you would have to marry just any bloke. If we can’t punish criminals, we have anarchy. And that we do not want. So we do not want to fuel this trueness of the phrase too much. Hence we should not give VIPs too much benefits that stings in the eyes of common people. However, we should all believe we are somebody special, since this helps with our self-esteem. If you have high self-esteem, you should of course use this to respect those that respects and love those that deserve your love. However, some people with too much self-esteem need to put in place. What about what the Nazis did? We should just stick to the conclusion that racism is wrong. And we should be refugee friendly. However, there has to be a balance to the refugee immigration. Proportions and reasonability is important. The anti immigration parties are a healthy and sound counter reaction to the mass immigration lobbyists. However, that said, I am for a reasonable immigration of refugees. Are all cultures of equal worth? No. The illegal drug culture is not of the same worth as a clean one in this context.(what good is your "master race" heritage if you are junkie (drug addict); thus culture is more important than race) The Nazi culture is not worth as much as a democratic culture. Please look up the meme definition in wikipedia. Thus we all have to make up our own personal culture. We all have value and weigh different cultural aspects. We have to accept or reject aspects of our common culture. We have to endorse and we have to fight. Who said life was easy? I myself have a value that is upsetting to many. I say no to God. Although religion is interesting, I like to think the definition of religion is values and statements that you hold dearly and defends fiercely. I do have values and statements that I defend fiercely; thus I have a religion. Part of my religion right now is, Absolutely not a God. Absolutely not free immigration. However I may change my views in the future. Regards, /Per — Don't let the Gods' Wrath bestow upon you or your future world. Do you know the Swedish language? Here is a translation to Swedish, “Låt inte Gudarnas Vrede bli given till dig eller din framtida värld.” Why do I think there are many Gods? As I told a my Muslim acquaintance Mikael here in Sweden (he lives in the house next door, and he tried to get me to become a Muslim, but I said no), by the following argument. Imagine if in the beginning there was only one God, what would God do first? Get God friends. He would create another God, and another God and so on. First after this the Gods would create this Universe, were we live. As an aquarium to watch and be amused at. I think it is credible. The Gods work in mysterious ways. There are in the literature today that exists many credible arguments as to that Jesus never existed. Josefus’ Testimonium Flavianum was a forgery, that is obvious.

Well it depends. It depends on what you isolate from and what you make a union with. In short, if you gain from having a union and fail to gain from being isolationist, you should be in a union. Therefore, after this statement, you have to evaluate the quality of who you marry. Basically the quality of who you marry is mostly dependent on the culture they live by. If the culture is good and enriches us, then we should marry, otherwise not. Remember, if UK decides to be isolationist, you have to live with political influences of UK alone. If you think the political scene in the UK is less stable and less beneficiary without political influence from the French, the Germans, the Italians, Sweden (my country is in the EU) and the rest of the EU, then UK should remain in the EU. To be concrete, if you are a Labour voter, and you think that Conservatives with win future elections in the UK, you should consider that the EU might mitigate the Conservatives influence in the UK. If you are a Conservative voter, and you think that Labour will win future elections in the UK, you should consider that the EU might mitigate the Labour political influence in the UK. It is my opinion that the UK should stay in the EU, since i love the UK and it is my honest opinion that the UK influence on the EU is positive, and the EU influence on the UK is positive. However, the UK should stick to the Pound as long as possible, and the currency should be “floating” according to currency markets. This is my current opinion of how the political state of affairs in currently in the EU and UK, however should they change dramatically to the worse my opinion may change. If you like, I would wish to express some opinions on trade. Should we have completely free trade without tariffs and regulation? No. The reason is that UK will be a poorer country in the future if we import consumer goods and trade this with strategic and tactic UK property net, so that the perishable consumer goods that we traded to us leaves us with foreign ownership of said property (such as land, real estate, natural resources) and in the long term we have nothing left (perishable consumer goods, e.g. form China and India) and a resulting foreign (e.g. China and India) ownership of said property and thus a real disadvantageous power shift protected by our own ownership laws. The song that is telling if we want to marry or not is “Kisses of Fire” (from the album “Voulez-Vous”) by ABBA. The best song by ABBA in my opinion. Listen to the song for free on Spotify here http://open.spotify.com/track/... PS. I am very content with Spotify. Good sound quality and fast access. Spotify has enriched my quality of life.

View in discussion Per Per a year ago I was trying to reply to an anti Muslim post that had been moderated, so I'll post this post here infront, instead. quote you, "They think women are dirt including their teachers." It appears some Muslims think women are "dirt". But this happens in Christian families too. It happens in non-religious homes. I am sure it happens in Hindu and Buddhist homes too. Just by the assumption that some men dislike women. Period. As for prevalence among different faiths, I would not want to guess. This is a relevant quote from the Bible, “2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.” (St. MATTHEWS. 7:2, KJV) Thus, if you judge other people (such as women) in a biased and unfair way, for example based on preconceptions, the quote says you should be judged the same way. If you think women are dirt, regardless of behaviour, you are in trouble, if we shall go by the Bible.

View in discussion Per Per IvorSchwartzporsche a year ago That's right if it was *total* ownership of the public (original socialism). But what I am proposing is 2/3 owned by private ownership. Thus the private interest (meaning looking out for profit, in self interest) dominates. Total public ownership has the drawback of non-eager interest in future profits for the company, as history has shown. Majority ownership of the private ownership (2/3) will get the benefit of the private ownership, while 1/3 ownership looked out by the unions will mean that some consideration is taken by common interests. That is the beauty of it. View in discussion Per Per Guest a year ago Since your name is "God the supreme being", I'll repost a post I have posted previously. This repost is just for you. The heading here is "English votes only for English laws" Laws in England are important. To have the right values when one writes laws is important. I hope to influence the law writers with this post. Here are some of my general values and thoughts right now. You probable have heard the phrase “All are of equal worth” repeated endlessly. This phrase’s popularity probably stems from as a consequence of the Nazi atrocities. What the Nazi’s did to the Jews and Romani people was absolutely horrific. But do we really in our hearts act and think as if this phrase was true? Would you for example marry any bloke just to prove to yourself that this phrase is true, and want to live up to it? You would not differentiate the value of different people. In some of the states of the USA they have the death penalty. Imagine whispering in the ear of a death row inmate; “You are just as much worth as everyone else, we’re just going to kill you.” The equal worth concept just lost its meaning in this specific example. The same for prison inmates. “You are as much worth as everyone else, however we’re going to lock you up.” On the other hand, if VIPs get blatant benefits that everyone else doesn’t it hurts. Envy and disgust can reach you. This envy and disgust fuels the erroneous phrase to become more true, and if we all lived up to it, we couldn’t punish criminals and you would have to marry just any bloke. If we can’t punish criminals, we have anarchy. And that we do not want. So we do not want to fuel this trueness of the phrase too much. Hence we should not give VIPs too much benefits that stings in the eyes of common people. However, we should all believe we are somebody special, since this helps with our self-esteem. If you have high self-esteem, you should of course use this to respect those that respects and love those that deserve your love. However, some people with too much self-esteem need to put in place. What about what the Nazis did? We should just stick to the conclusion that racism is wrong. And we should be refugee friendly. However, there has to be a balance to the refugee immigration. Proportions and reasonability is important. The anti immigration parties are a healthy and sound counter reaction to the mass immigration lobbyists. However, that said, I am for a reasonable immigration of refugees. Are all cultures of equal worth? No. The illegal drug culture is not of the same worth as a clean one in this context.(what good is your "master race" heritage if you are junkie (drug addict); thus culture is more important than race) The Nazi culture is not worth as much as a democratic culture. Please look up the meme definition in wikipedia. Thus we all have to make up our own personal culture. We all have value and weigh different cultural aspects. We have to accept or reject aspects of our common culture. We have to endorse and we have to fight. Who said life was easy? I myself have a value that is upsetting to many. I say no to God. Although religion is interesting, I like to think the definition of religion is values and statements that you hold dearly and defends fiercely. I do have values and statements that I defend fiercely; thus I have a religion. Part of my religion right now is, Absolutely not a God. Absolutely not free immigration. However I may change my views in the future. Regards, /Per View in discussion Per Per Guest a year ago In my humble view, the best party for the UK is the conservatives with David Cameron. Vote Tory. View in discussion Per Per IvorSchwartzporsche a year ago quote you " I think the public already have shares of a private company if that company pays taxes" In a way that is true, in that part revenue from the private company is parted to the public. But shareholders only get money if the company is *profitable* (dividends). Taxes have to paid whether profitable or not, so it differs. Further, the public has no votes in the board if only taxes are paid, as today. As I said representatives from the public would have influence in what direction the part private ownership part public ownership takes. View in discussion Per Per Guest a year ago That was not very bland view, in my humble opinion. 1 View in discussion Per Per a year ago I think the UKIP is a fresh breath of air in contrast to the mass immigration lobbyists. Kippers, I would like some comments of this, (RFC, Request For Comments) "The reliable safe political system is democratic socialism in conservative spirit" What does this mean? To me, it means there should be public ownership of all companies, but not total (conservative spirit, remember) ownership, if a private company if founded, then say 1/3 of shares is by law owned by public, but no more. If a company is founded by the public, then the share ownership may be larger. Who from the public votes on the board of the private company? The best public representatives are not politicians, but representatives of the relevant union(s) to the private ltd, in my current view. The relevant union representatives have natural interest that the company does not fail into bankruptcy.

It turns out Heaven is on fire, after some time. Hell is now a better place. Because people in Heaven are suffering badly, should they automatically get an asylum to Hell? No. The first question wise people in Hell should ask, is "Why did Heaven turn into fire?" One can suspect the answer is because of the people, there. If it is because of the people, won't Hell turn into a fire in the long term if we import these people to Hell, so that both worlds now are on fire?

Obviously the English would have a great disadvantage for Scottish independence, and the English no is of no real debate, its obvious to vote no if you were English. For the Scottish, a no is too to prefer. Why? Because the brand name of Great Britain is so well established, consider for example the Australia has the Union Jack in its flag. The whole WW1 and WW2 victories. The successful spread of English values in the world in the colonialization. The USA. The English language though out the world.

Four legs good, two legs bad (1) basically says we are equal and unequal concurrently, thus a paradoxical Right. Maybe this interpretation will interest you, “All are basically equal. Like bricks in a wall. But some (the more equal) are closer to the average (or median, according to taste).” (2) implies four legs and two legs are good since four legs is a double set of two legs; four legs include two legs, since it doesn't say "only". In the same way four legs and two legs are bad, since two legs are included in four legs. Thus there is options of personal interpretation in (2). Thus all animals in the farm are happy, including humans. This Right is agile, quite right. These are truly universal Rights, with important implications; think. I choose Orwell's Rights (OR). — I prefer Orwell's Rights. Only 2 rights. Let me explain right 2 in more detail. "2. Four feet good, two feet bad." We must all be humble and say that we grown ups are all bad (we are not evil, but bad), since this installs humbleness into us and we are more suspicious of the bad things in society that can blossom up suddenly (e.g. terrorism, riots, holocaust) Grown ups that say that they are all good, and not the slightest badness about them, I believe do not exist. None is perfect. People that are not humble and are conceived as all good get power, and power corrupts. Saints should therefore not get power, to remain saints. Since toddlers go on 4 "feet" toddlers are good. As opposed to grown ups. People that are humble and are grown up, but bend them selves down "and walk on four feet" (walking with hands and feet, thus with bent back and not straight up - thus humble metamorphic-ally) are thus good according to right 2 of OR (Orwell's Rights).

However I found your comment so funny. :-) View in discussion Per Per a year ago Theresa, I congratulate you on your good work on the European Arrest Warrant (EAW). It is now better in my humble opinion. Further, quote Theresa May, "These are the reasons I believe that the politicians who argue that we are better off in the EU, whatever the terms, are wrong. But I also believe that the politicians who argue that we are better off out, whatever the terms, are also wrong." [reposting of conversations previously made on the telegraph blogs (I believe the following posts clarify what Theresa May said in the quote I provided above), repetition of good stuff is a virtue] When should you be an isolationist and when should you be a unionist? Well it depends. It depends on what you isolate from and what you make a union with. In short, if you gain from having a union and fail to gain from being isolationist, you should be in a union. Therefore, after this statement, you have to evaluate the quality of who you marry. Basically the quality of who you marry is mostly dependent on the culture they live by. If the culture is good and enriches us, then we should marry, otherwise not. Remember, if UK decides to be isolationist, you have to live with political influences of UK alone. If you think the political scene in the UK is less stable and less beneficiary without political influence from the French, the Germans, the Italians, Sweden (my country is in the EU) and the rest of the EU, then UK should remain in the EU. To be concrete, if you are a Labour voter, and you think that Conservatives with win future elections in the UK, you should consider that the EU might mitigate the Conservatives influence in the UK. If you are a Conservative voter, and you think that Labour will win future elections in the UK, you should consider that the EU might mitigate the Labour political influence in the UK. It is my opinion that the UK should stay in the EU, since i love the UK and it is my honest opinion that the UK influence on the EU is positive, and the EU influence on the UK is positive. However, the UK should stick to the Pound as long as possible, and the currency should be “floating” according to currency markets. This is my current opinion of how the political state of affairs in currently in the EU and UK, however should they change dramatically to the worse my opinion may change. If you like, I would wish to express some opinions on trade. Should we have completely free trade without tariffs and regulation? No. The reason is that UK will be a poorer country in the future if we import consumer goods and trade this with strategic and tactic UK property net, so that the perishable consumer goods that we traded to us leaves us with foreign ownership of said property (such as land, real estate, natural resources) and in the long term we have nothing left (perishable consumer goods, e.g. form China and India) and a resulting foreign (e.g. China and India) ownership of said property and thus a real disadvantageous power shift protected by our own ownership laws. The song that is telling if we want to marry or not is “Kisses of Fire” (from the album “Voulez-Vous”) by ABBA. The best song by ABBA in my opinion. Listen to the song for free on Spotify here http://open.spotify.com/track/... PS. I am very content with Spotify. Good sound quality and fast access. Spotify has enriched my quality of life.

Vice President Viviene Reding, and backed by German Merkel.In such a union all sovereignty would be transferred to the Brussels Commission,if effect a European government, German dominated.You may like this notion I suggest that a majority here would dissent. I want a referendum where my vote to leave the E.U. would count for something,until then I would like to hear Cameron say no, no ,no no to the E.U.on many projects. (ireland) --- Thank you for your interesting response. First, I am strongly, very strongly, for devolution of power. A "United States Of Europe" would therefore be a move in the wrong direction. If that happens, then I am for a referendum, and I hope UK then leaves "United States Of Europe". I hope Sweden leaves the EU too, if that would be a reality. If important nations leave, what would be left of the EU? Therefore I think they would be careful to introduce "United States Of Europe"; membership is after all voluntary. (Per) --- It is plain to see that the creation of a United States Of Europe is an end result of the single currency,fiscal,taxation, interest rate, trade, political sovereignty surrendered.The dominant loudest voice in such a union will be German with Kraut Merkel making the demands.Can you really see the Germans stopping at just the euro nations in such a union?I cannot. Is there a strong euro sceptic movement in your country, is it a strong one,would your government be able to stand up to German pressure? Your ideas of devolution of power goes against the ethos of the E.U.policy makers, central Brussels control is their aim. (ireland) --- I'll repost a post I posted above, in relation to your worries. Hope you get it. Politics and affiliation to a particular party is a lot like football and affiliation to a club. People stay loyal to their club; but there is a limit.

But then came a breaking point. He switched club abruptly to AIK (the "entrepreneur" football club in Stockholm), the main hate object for Hammarby. He wore all the paraphernalia for AIK after that. He spoke passionately for his new club. Funny. (Per) --- No I cannot get it,but clearly you and I will never agree. I believe in the nation state and nationalism.

Are the UN human rights (30 articles) contra dictionary? I prefer Orwell's Rights. only 2 rights. I have posted them previously, maybe you remember them. Let me explain right 2. "2. Four feet good, two feet bad." We must all be humble and say that we grown ups are all bad (we are not evil, but bad), since this installs humbleness into us and we are more suspicious of the bad things in society that can blossom up suddenly (e.g. terrorism, riots, holocaust) Grown ups that say that they are all good, and not the slightest badness about them, I believe do not exist. None is perfect. People that are not humble and are conceived as all good get power, and power corrupts. Saints should therefore not get power, to remain saints. Since toddlers go on 4 "feet" toddlers are good. As opposed to grown ups. People that are humble and are grown up, but bend them selves down "and walk on four feet" (walking with hands and feet, thus with bent back and not straight up - thus humble metamorphic-ally) are thus good according to right 2 of OR (Orwell's Rights).

This is a conclusion I have reached, and it is clear and obvious to me and I can explain it, but again, I refrain. I want people to be convinced by their own thinking, that is my motivation why I refrain. Thirdly, no it is not a non sequitur, since I have not said that the statement "Metaphysically, it is my belief that you cannot kill by life." follows from any of the previous. It is a conclusion I have reached and is there as an independent statement, and I refrain from giving my assumptions and logic, since I want people to think for themselves. Do think about it for yourself, and hopefully you will reach to the same statement. Lastly, no it is not a conclusion. It is a repeated statement of the previous in different words. The original statement "he took his own life" is there for you to get on the right track to reach at the relevant statements, it is not there as a part of a formal proof. I said after all that I refrain from explaining, and yet you say I try to explain from the statement "he took his own life". I don't. I don't try to pedagogically explain the statements.

Thus some people get critic on not what they are as a character, no matter how well they behave, no matter what good manners they have, no matter how prudent and wise they are, no matter how well they judge proportionally and balanced, but critic because of their biological heritage, their genes as a group of people, their race. Thus a white person that is a real disaster as a character might get more respect than a black person that behaves flawlessly. Is this right? Is this not a big problem? The issue is motivation to BEHAVE well. If white people get a free ride of respect simply because of their race, what motivation do they as a population have to behave well? If black people get condemned regardless of behaviour, simply because of race, what motivation do they have to behave well? Do you see the issue? We want a good society, and in a good society you get judged by your BEHAVIOUR, since this motivates people to behave well. If you get a free ride because of race belongings, or get condemned because of not being part of the "master" race, behaviour in society deteriorates. IS THIS CLEAR?" --- To balance it off I include the following, "Culture is everything. Problem with immigration is if we import hostile, war mongering, intolerant cultures. Imagine a farm. The owner family and all employed there is happy.There is a surplus of food and people are respecting each others, and are considerate to each others in general. There is harmony. There is news of a neighbouring farm. Life there is terrible, they have a culture of hatred and war, and people are really suffering. Do-gooder's in the successful farm start to raise voices. They want this farm to let people from the war farm live on this ground, out of humanitarian grounds. This is a very considerate thing to say and spread, and since they are considerate on this farm, the word spreads and become popular. We shall let those suffering poor beings live in this prosperous farm. Out of humanity for them. They start to import these people. Problem is they bring their war culture along. Soon they are in majority, and since the influence of the majority is significant (especially in democracies, but this farm is not a democracy, but the influence is dominant, anyway). The culture on the successful farm has now changed. To a way culture of intolerance and hatred. People there are now suffering. Why are we suffering, asks one of the original people there. Why? The importation of cultures can be dangerous.

Culture is like software in computers, while the hardware is the genes.

A small war here and there (with words or weapons) fighting for a certain culture, leads to the evolution of cultures, the successful ones prevail.

What is most important is that you yourself and your loved ones do not get hurt seriously because of the man or woman in power. For example, if the man in power hurt your dog or cat (both have very little power), that you love dearly, WRATH will result. The possible amusement weighs very lightly there when you personally are hurt, or your loved one's are hurt, or you see a substantial risk in the future of this. 1 View in discussion Per Per richardsmith a year ago The reason corporations are pouring money into Dem or Rep is NOT that money works so well in influencing the outcome.

If your horse wins then the corporations that bet on you are friends with that horse, and those corporations can now do lobby influencing and get favours, once, the party they supported are in power. That is the real reason corporations support parties; to get political influence once the party has won. I could imagine therefore that some corporations hedge their bets, they give money both to the Dem and the Rep. Affecting and influencing political parties and thus get legislation in the country in your liking, IS VERY COST EFFECTIVE. Corporations that ignore this will have a hard time, since politics run the country, legislation can ruin ANY business. Thus you can not only fight the competing firms with influence over political legislation, you can also get your own firm more profitable with the right legislation supporting it; the money influencing legislation is well worth its cost if done right. 5 View in discussion Per Per mistertoad a year ago No. That is not respecting the choices each American is making.

View in discussion Per Per Per a year ago This one nation I mentioned allows for the armament of the public with firearms, allowed in the constitution. This is not very wise. This since careless people can buy guns. Nirvana's Kurt Cobain was killed by a gun in 1994. John F Kennedy was killed by a gun Robert Kennedy was killed by a gun. Ronald Reagan was hurt by a gun. Beatles' John Lennon was killed by a gun. All these in this country. It is better to trust the police and military with guns, if you install with them common sense and discipline. The difference is that careless people with guns are minimized since there is a selection of police officers and military men. Not all in these organisations are trusted with guns. The careless are more or less sorted out, not true if "anyone" can buy a gun. The constitution of this country leads to a gun culture. Guns are sold more easily on the black market. Since there are more guns on the market, simply. There is a solution to the "arms race". Ask Lotta at sr.se . View in discussion Per Per a year ago If you can follow the following reasoning, I would consider you intelligent enough. See it as a challenge, reread until you understand enough. Let me first quote the Bible, “2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.” (St. MATTHEWS. 7:2, KJV) What does this mean? 1. If you judge harshly and unjust people will judge you harshly and unjust. 2. If you judge soft and forgiving, you agree with the perpetrators judgement of who he hurt; then the perpetrator will hurt you the same way he did to the victim of the previous trial; and you have agreed to this hurting of innocent victim since you judged softly previously. In UK people look onto previous judgements of trials, it resides in the collective memory and is referred to. If you judge unjust (either too harshly or too softly) this will get back to you in the future, either as a harsh unjust judgement to you by the court, or a harsh unjust judgement by the perpetrator who got a soft judgement by you in court and will get another soft judgement in next court when he faces having hurt you; thus he is motivated to continue his unjust criminality and harsh judgement you agreed to by giving a soft sentence. What is required is a balanced and just judgement; this is the only way you can pass. How does this Bible quote relate to devolution of power? If you judge too softly then you do not devolve power from the perpetrator who have stolen (property, life, peace of mind, etc). If you judge too harshly, then you do not devolve power away from the court system enough; the court system has power to sentence too harsh punishments to anyone, guilty or not; thus we have power concentration to those who control the court system. View in discussion Per Per Guest a year ago I had to look up the word flatulence. Gas in the stomach. Here is something you can consider, a Danish proverb. "Almindelig sund fornuft er ikke så almindelig endda" Common sense is not that common, after all. There is one nation I think of specifically. The reason I speculate has to do with rich prevalence of TV-commercials. TV-commercials in general appeal to your emotions and do not want to challenge your thinking and emotions.

View in discussion Per Per a year ago How smart are you? Do you comprehend the following (I have an IQ of 115, tested at MENSA test, I was not allowed into MENSA), Laws in England are important. To have the right values when one writes laws is important. I hope to influence the law writers with this post. Here are some of my general values and thoughts right now. You probable have heard the phrase “All are of equal worth” repeated endlessly. This phrase’s popularity probably stems from as a consequence of the Nazi atrocities. What the Nazi’s did to the Jews and Romani people was absolutely horrific. But do we really in our hearts act and think as if this phrase was true? Would you for example marry any bloke just to prove to yourself that this phrase is true, and want to live up to it? You would not differentiate the value of different people. In some of the states of the USA they have the death penalty. Imagine whispering in the ear of a death row inmate; “You are just as much worth as everyone else, we’re just going to kill you.” The equal worth concept just lost its meaning in this specific example. The same for prison inmates. “You are as much worth as everyone else, however we’re going to lock you up.” On the other hand, if VIPs get blatant benefits that everyone else doesn’t it hurts. Envy and disgust can reach you. This envy and disgust fuels the erroneous phrase to become more true, and if we all lived up to it, we couldn’t punish criminals and you would have to marry just any bloke. If we can’t punish criminals, we have anarchy. And that we do not want. So we do not want to fuel this trueness of the phrase too much. Hence we should not give VIPs too much benefits that stings in the eyes of common people. However, we should all believe we are somebody special, since this helps with our self-esteem. If you have high self-esteem, you should of course use this to respect those that respects and love those that deserve your love. However, some people with too much self-esteem need to put in place. What about what the Nazis did? We should just stick to the conclusion that racism is wrong. And we should be refugee friendly. However, there has to be a balance to the refugee immigration. Proportions and reasonability is important. The anti immigration parties are a healthy and sound counter reaction to the mass immigration lobbyists. However, that said, I am for a reasonable immigration of refugees. Are all cultures of equal worth? No. The illegal drug culture is not of the same worth as a clean one in this context.(what good is your "master race" heritage if you are junkie (drug addict); thus culture is more important than race) The Nazi culture is not worth as much as a democratic culture. Please look up the meme definition in wikipedia. Thus we all have to make up our own personal culture. We all have value and weigh different cultural aspects. We have to accept or reject aspects of our common culture. We have to endorse and we have to fight. Who said life was easy? I myself have a value that is upsetting to many. I say no to God. Although religion is interesting, I like to think the definition of religion is values and statements that you hold dearly and defends fiercely. I do have values and statements that I defend fiercely; thus I have a religion. Part of my religion right now is, Absolutely not a God. Absolutely not free immigration. However I may change my views in the future. View in discussion Discussion on Telegraph 1264 comments Climate change is a problem. But our attempts to fix it could be worse than useless Per Per Soosoos a year ago Indeed. We can do something about climate change. Mainly a political problem, not a technical one. Mind you political problems can be as challenging if not more challenging than the most difficult technical problems. View in discussion Per Per Guest a year ago Good Mike, I am not a proponent of increasing the total share of taxes in regard to GDP, rather to shift the tax wheighting of diffenent taxable enteties; in other words to tax or raise tax on harmful activities we necesserely must lower taxes of benign activities, for example income tax of work that is benign. Tax works as reverse subsidy, it motivates people to decrease the taxable entity. For example, if it is established that fossil CO2 emmisions leads in the future 100 years to a warmer harsher environment with significant raised sealevels, then that harsher environment incurs a increased cost of living for the inhabitants 100 years from now; do we have the right, with our current knowledge, to incur this cost? If you think it is questionable, or downright no, that we have a right to worsen severely the situation for future inhabitants of Earth, then read on. Economical activities in a society are relative to each other. If you tax one activity more than others, then in reality you subsidy implicitly the others. This, for example, means that if you tax harmful activities extra relative to benign, you in reality subsidy the benign so that they have a greater chance to thrive, and you quench proportional to the tax rate the harmful economical activities. Regardsing fossil CO2 emmisions, that by logic and empirical studies, will increase the percentage of CO2 in the athmosphere, by a worrying rate, then if you multiply that rate with the not to distant years ahead of us, we will reach much highter percentage of CO2 in the athmosphere, than we have today; and since CO2 is a greenhouse gas, from empirical chemistry and physics measurements, it is easy to conclude that the average temperature of the earth will rise; this temerature rise is supported in numerous empirical measurements; please refer to wikipedia (at the bottom of this text, [1]) to see the empirical graphs of temperature rise throughout time. CO2 is rising. The wikipedia article [2] shows the graphs. Those graphs also show that CO2 historically (ancient) has had even larger percentages; however humans and their constructions did not exist then, and if we assume a warmer climate then and risen seas, no coastal cities were drenched, no farmland were flooded, increased spread of malaria and dengue fever did not affect any humans. But now we see a temperature rise, and we forecast rising sea levels and with that flooding of lowland coastal land; less housing and less arable land - less food - more dieseases - in short, harsher living conditions for inhabitants 100 years from now. With warming climate, there will be almost certainly a redistribution of fertile and desert lands, this is in the nature of the stochastic (randomness) weather. What if climate change makes India and China a large desert, both nuclear armed countries; will they just lay down and die, or will they, as the human spirit in most calls for, fight for their survival by, for example, occupying fertile land in other countries? In such a scenario, migration pressure will also increase, and this will almost certainly leed to large influxes to nations with arable land, since what is politically correct do to, which most politicians have as thier policiy nowadays, is to be humane and not watch all those millions starve. The gamblers in this world gamble. Can you see the gamble here? We gamble with the wealth of our future generations, future children and grandchildren, nephews and nieces; all in the name of comfort for us, even though the sacrifise need not be that rough, if done right. Taxing of fossil CO2 will get the market-forces to work for alternatives, market-forces always looks for the cheapest price of comparable quality, if tax makes a goods or service expensive, then less taxed goods and services has an advantage in the market economy; people and companies don't like to pay taxes, so they will look for alternatives, the market demand for alternatives will increse dramatically with a hefty tax on CO2; yet the taxes will not rise for individuals, since income tax can be lowered accordingly, so you get the same amount of money as before, only now the direction and incentives to find technological innovation to be less dependent on CO2 will increase (better wind, wave, nuclear, solar cell, battery storage technonlgies). Corporations and individuals behavioural patterns will want to reduce CO2 emmisions (Better salesperson roadtrips, less time in the shower, find local producers of veggetables and meat). Social behavioiural patterns (e.g. people will find jobs closer to where they live, and since it is the same rules for everyone competitional forces work as before and will attract labour by having smaller decentralised manufacturing and service locations near the residential areas) that decrease CO2 from fossils will be encouraged; all in the comfort of the same amount of money as before. Alternative energy sources will be given a good start quickly and then market forces will make them cheaper and cheaper, and soon we have shifted our fossil dependancy to a much safer alternative without loosing too much comfort. CO2 tax will make us work closer to out homes, as said, which calls for a repeat, decentralise offices so that a local office in your neighbourhood becomes economically attractive - shorter commute to work without the traffic; we might get more comfort now with taxing CO2. Same rules for everyone, atleast for all the major economies. This means everyone competes under the same rules. Oil companies can invest in renewables and get profit. Don't you think our children and children's children deserve a better future than what is projected with current CO2 emmision levels? Fairness is about balanced positive or negative deserve in relation to the actual circumstances. Methane is a greenhouse gas more effecient than CO2. This gas is bound in the seafloor as a hydrate. A warming of the seas could release this hydrate as a methane. Further, permafrost holding methane on land could be released as temeratures increase. This could worsen the effects. There has been some recent (this year 2014) scientific discovery regarding that the sun's activity and intensity is less than before. During the years 1600's the sun's activity and intensity was less, and winters where harsh and very cold. There thus seems to be another such period in the sun's variations. This can mean that the CO2 emissions is actually positive, mitigating the lowering of temperatures due to the sun's less shining on earth. The issue is complex. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G...

Note that dividing the cake fairly can motivate people to make more cakes since there is an industrial efficiency aspect (one hour of labour can make much productive amplifying cake use) of making cakes cheaply for many rather than the one to one hour labour aspect of service to already rich (sweeping pools, for instance ­ although sweeping pools is better than going unemployed).

No. Just pertaining to you for the moment. View in discussion Per Per a year ago What determines what salary you get? Before we dwell into this important question, let me give you some basics. In a market economy, a product is determined by only 2 (two) things. 1. The quality of the product 2. The price The quality of the product are all the qualities associated with the product, e.g. what it looks like, how long it lasts, the "feel" of the product, how well it functions, etc. but also qualities associated with the producer, e.g. brand name establishment, social responsibility of the producer, environmental concerns etc. In all all qualities associated with the product. The price is determined by market value, in a market economy. There are basically two ways to price a product. According to "seller's market" and according to "buyer's market". In a "buyer's market" there is competition and surplus of similar products competing with what you sell. Each producer tries to undercut the price in order to attract the sale of the product. The end result is a price of the product that matches basically production price, since the lowest price one can offer is the production price. And competition in a "buyer's market" will make sure that all producers just barely makes a very small profit. In a "seller's market" there is more demand than supply. It is all producers dream to be in a "seller's market". A monopoly allows you to artificially set supply so that there is a less supply than demand. This can drive prices very high. People pay what they consider what the product is worth to them within their budget. In a "seller's market" the price is set by what people are willing to pay for the product. In a buyers market the price is set by production costs. The difference can be huge. Why is the price for food so low? The reasons is that food is in a "buyer's market". Food is more necessary than medical expenses, lawyer expenses, etc. Work is a product. You do work and get a salary. A product and a price. Why is a good lawyer usually paid more than a farm worker? The reasons is that a good lawyer is in a market of very few good lawyers. The good lawyer is basically in a "seller's market" while the farm worker are in a "buyer's market". There is a limited supply of good lawyers, and people are willing to pay to win that court case. The farmer faces competition each undercutting the price of the produce. Unions function to basically artificially make a "buyer's market" into a "seller's market" of labour. The problem historically with low wages (and what we see today in "sweatshops") is that there is a surplus of people who want to work, and each worker is willing to undercut the wage to get that job. That is why unions can make such a difference. Unions prevent outside workers to undercut the salaries by artificial means. The employers and unions negotiate for what they (the unions) consider a decent salary. Of course there is competition between unions too. Each union wants as a high salary for just their members. That is when we have strikes all over the country. A war between unions. Of course, unemployment can result if too high demands on salaries are made by the unions; there is simply not enough money to pay all. The few lucky get a high paid job, the rest are outside the unions and unemployed. It is all about negotiations and negotiating power.

Are these not contradictory (Article 19 and Article 30)? On the one hand (19) you have the right of freedom of expression, you have the freedom to impart ideas (give ideas to) through any media. On the other hand (30) you are forbidden to criticize the rights if this aims to destruct any right. View in discussion Per Per mrsbimble a year ago The biggest issue for UKIP support I suspect is the immigration stand they have. I'll repost some posts in this regard for you. I can make a positive case for immigration. First though to get the right atmosphere I'll repeat a post. "Now England must rediscover its patriotism" Whoever spreads the following message is a patriot in my view: "There are patriots and there are infidels. Whoever defends and is for "free immigration" is an infidel." Because free immigration will destroy the country. Its clear and obvious to me and I can explain it but I refrain. Regards, /Per Swedish Patriot (55 upvotes) The most important issue in the world, in my view, is that of devolution of power. To counteract power concentrating trends and ideologies. Let me quote the Bible in this context, “We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves.”, NKJV This quote works against power concentration, since it causes, if followed by all, a consensus that the ruler shall devolve power to the weaker (in power terms). Now let me return to the issue of positive case for immigration. I am refugee friendly. This because if you are able to flee a power concentrated dictatorship, people there will be more brave to challenge the dictator apparatus. Thus there is a force in the world that makes dictators considerate not to get all too powerful, since then terrorism (ANC is an example of justified terrorism, though I am against terrorism in general, and most forms of terrorism) and violence can hurt the dictator. Thus for us in the west to be refugee friendly helps devolution of power in the world. Lasly, say no to racism. Racism is pushing down certain people and raising certain people only because of their race. Thus some people get critic on not what they are as a character, no matter how well they behave, no matter what good manners they have, no matter how prudent and wise they are, no matter how well they judge proportionally and balanced, but critic because of their biological heritage, their genes as a group of people, their race. Thus a white person that is a real disaster as a character might get more respect than a black person that behaves flawlessly. Is this right? Is this not a big problem? The issue is motivation to BEHAVE well. If white people get a free ride of respect simply because of their race, what motivation do they as a population have to behave well? If black people get condemned regardless of behaviour, simply because of race, what motivation do they have to behave well? Do you see the issue? We want a good society, and in a good society you get judged by your BEHAVIOUR, since this motivates people to behave well. If you get a free ride because of race belongings, or get condemned because of not being part of the "master" race, behaviour in society deteriorates. IS THIS CLEAR? --- The following quote is a niece piece on racism, “34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.” (THE ACTS. 10:34-35, KJV) “34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. 35 But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.” (same NKJV) View in discussion Discussion on Telegraph 1732 comments 'Human rights’ have fallen into the hands of the Euro-tollahs Per Per Per a year ago Are there many closet racists in the UK?

A way to understand this is that a convention is not worth the paper it is written on if the interpreters have all power. Remember George Orwell's 1984. "War is peace" "Freedom is slavery" When those in power only decides, they can interpret anything from any text - they simply have the power to do that. A referee in a football match is only good if he can be lifted out from further matches should he misbehave. You need a hook on the power. 3 View in discussion Per Per a year ago I basically likes the idea of human rights. But you have to be careful when you declare them. For example, article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states, "Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person." Right to life? Haven't they noticed that people die? No. I prefer perplexing rights that can't be disproved. I have concluded Orwell's Rights (OR). From George Orwell's Animal Farm. My main conclusions about Animal Farm is as follows, Orwell's Rights, 1. All are equal but some are more equal 2. Four legs good, two legs bad (1) basically says we are equal and unequal concurrently, a paradoxical Right. (2) implies four legs and two legs are good since four legs is a double set of two legs; four legs include two legs, since it doesn't say "only". In the same way four legs and two legs are bad, since two legs are included in four legs. Thus there is options of personal interpretation in (2). Thus all animals in the farm are happy, including humans. This Right is agile, quite right. These are truly universal Rights, with important implications; think. I choose Orwell's Rights (OR). I would like to share you a nice poem, when life gets tough. “Life” An Angel told me to hear; Hold your life dear; To risk your life for vanity - fear; Tillägnad Ola Dedicated to Ola Ola was my twin brother. He was basically a much nicer guy than many others. Further I have a hook on him, should he misbehave in the next world (90% of the world population believes in a next life).

No. This is from wikipedia, "A meme (/ˈmiːm/ meem)[1] is "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture."[2] A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme." Culture is memes. Something that is transmitted by memory independent of genes (within reasonable limits, you have to have genes that make you have a mind that can memorize and communicate). For example books, word of mouth between generations, this blog (if saved by the telegraph), A member of the white race can be a junkie (a drug addict). This junkie has the culture of drug addiction. His race does not save him. Thus race and culture is different, and race does not mean culture. Culture is behaviour, you need the right genes to adhere to a culture, i.e. if you have genes that make in incapable of adhering to a certatin culture you cannot live by that culture; but that is an exception of bodily defect.

A religion is an organized collection of beliefs, cultural systems, and world views that relate humanity to an order of existence. (from wikipedia entry "religion") Don't let the Gods' Wrath bestow upon you or your future world. Do you know the Swedish language? Here is a translation to Swedish, “Låt inte Gudarnas Vrede bli given till dig eller din framtida värld.” Why do I think there are many Gods? As I told a my Muslim acquaintance Mikael here in Sweden (he lives in the house next door, and he tried to get me to become a Muslim, but I said no), by the following argument. Imagine if in the beginning there was only one God, what would God do first? Get God friends. He would create another God, and another God and so on. First after this the Gods would create this Universe, were we live. As an aquarium to watch and be amused at. I think it is credible. The Gods work in mysterious ways. There are in the literature today that exists many credible arguments as to that Jesus never existed. Josefus’ Testimonium Flavianum was a forgery, that is obvious. View in discussion Per Per Moi-Meme a year ago The heading here is "English votes only for English laws" Laws in England are important. To have the right values when one writes laws is important. I hope to influence the law writers with this post. Here are some of my general values and thoughts right now. You probable have heard the phrase “All are of equal worth” repeated endlessly. This phrase’s popularity probably stems from as a consequence of the Nazi atrocities. What the Nazi’s did to the Jews and Romani people was absolutely horrific. But do we really in our hearts act and think as if this phrase was true? Would you for example marry any bloke just to prove to yourself that this phrase is true, and want to live up to it? You would not differentiate the value of different people. In some of the states of the USA they have the death penalty. Imagine whispering in the ear of a death row inmate; “You are just as much worth as everyone else, we’re just going to kill you.” The equal worth concept just lost its meaning in this specific example. The same for prison inmates. “You are as much worth as everyone else, however we’re going to lock you up.” On the other hand, if VIPs get blatant benefits that everyone else doesn’t it hurts. Envy and disgust can reach you. This envy and disgust fuels the erroneous phrase to become more true, and if we all lived up to it, we couldn’t punish criminals and you would have to marry just any bloke. If we can’t punish criminals, we have anarchy. And that we do not want. So we do not want to fuel this trueness of the phrase too much. Hence we should not give VIPs too much benefits that stings in the eyes of common people. However, we should all believe we are somebody special, since this helps with our self-esteem. If you have high self-esteem, you should of course use this to respect those that respects and love those that deserve your love. However, some people with too much self-esteem need to put in place. What about what the Nazis did? We should just stick to the conclusion that racism is wrong. And we should be refugee friendly. However, there has to be a balance to the refugee immigration. Proportions and reasonability is important. The anti immigration parties are a healthy and sound counter reaction to the mass immigration lobbyists. However, that said, I am for a reasonable immigration of refugees. Are all cultures of equal worth? No. The illegal drug culture is not of the same worth as a clean one in this context. (what good is your "master race" heritage if you are junkie (drug addict); thus culture is more important than race) The Nazi culture is not worth as much as a democratic culture. Please look up the meme definition in wikipedia. Thus we all have to make up our own personal culture. We all have value and weigh different cultural aspects. We have to accept or reject aspects of our common culture. We have to endorse and we have to fight. Who said life was easy? I myself have a value that is upsetting to many. I say no to God. Although religion is interesting, I like to think the definition of religion is values and statements that you hold dearly and defends fiercely. I do have values and statements that I defend fiercely; thus I have a religion. Part of my religion right now is, Absolutely not a God. Absolutely not free immigration.

The British unions do not have influence in Bangladeshian sweat shops. But that is besides the point. The point was immigration to British soil. View in discussion Per Per Guest a year ago Labour that people provide depends on two main things; (1) the characteristics or qualities of what they offer and (2) the price of this. The unions of UK will make sure that 3rd world labour does not undercut the established prices for labour; your point is mute there. So what remains is the quality they provide. Do really 3rd world labour surpass English quality labour? Don't think so; British labour is of good quality traditionally with education and experience from the 1st world. Therefore the "money train" do NOT want 3rd world immigration; they want quality immigration. Why then do UK (and Sweden) allow all these asylum immigration?

Here is my contribution to the debate, to fight the "liberals" phobia on proper discussion. I can make a positive case for immigration. First though to get the right atmosphere I'll repeat a post. "Now England must rediscover its patriotism" Whoever spreads the following message is a patriot in my view: "There are patriots and there are infidels. Whoever defends and is for "free immigration" is an infidel." Because free immigration will destroy the country. Its clear and obvious to me and I can explain it but I refrain. Regards, /Per Swedish Patriot (55 upvotes) The most important issue in the world, in my view, is that of devolution of power. To counteract power concentrating trends and ideologies. Let me quote the Bible in this context, “We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves.”, NKJV This quote works against power concentration, since it causes, if followed by all, a consensus that the ruler shall devolve power to the weaker (in power terms). Now let me return to the issue of positive case for immigration. I am refugee friendly. This because if you are able to flee a power concentrated dictatorship, people there will be more brave to challenge the dictator apparatus. Thus there is a force in the world that makes dictators considerate not to get all too powerful, since then terrorism (ANC is an example of justified terrorism, though I am against terrorism in general, and most forms of terrorism) and violence can hurt the dictator. Thus for us in the west to be refugee friendly helps devolution of power in the world. Lasly, say no to racism. Racism is pushing down certain people and raising certain people only because of their race. Thus some people get critic on not what they are as a character, no matter how well they behave, no matter what good manners they have, no matter how prudent and wise they are, no matter how well they judge proportionally and balanced, but critic because of their biological heritage, their genes as a group of people, their race. Thus a white person that is a real disaster as a character might get more respect than a black person that behaves flawlessly. Is this right? Is this not a big problem? The issue is motivation to BEHAVE well. If white people get a free ride of respect simply because of their race, what motivation do they as a population have to behave well? If black people get condemned regardless of behaviour, simply because of race, what motivation do they have to behave well? Do you see the issue? We want a good society, and in a good society you get judged by your BEHAVIOUR, since this motivates people to behave well. If you get a free ride because of race belongings, or get condemned because of not being part of the "master" race, behaviour in society deteriorates. IS THIS CLEAR? 3 View in discussion Discussion on Telegraph 405 comments Three glasses of milk a day can lead to early death, warn scientists Per Per Ian Booth a year ago Actually the most part of the data was already paid for, by conducting extensive food intake questionnaires in the 1980's and 1990's.

Really good. The best book I have read ever is Animal Farm by George Orwell, published 1945. If the booker prize was started earlier, say 1900, I am sure Animal Farm by George Orwell would have won it. My main conclusions about Animal Farm is as follows, Orwell's Rights, 1. All are equal but some are more equal 2. Four legs good, two legs bad (1) basically says we are equal and unequal concurrently, a paradoxical Right. (2) implies four legs and two legs are good since four legs is a double set of two legs; four legs include two legs, since it doesn't say "only". In the same way four legs and two legs are bad, since two legs are included in four legs. Thus there is options of personal interpretation in (2). Thus all animals in the farm are happy, including humans. This Right is agile, quite right. These are truly universal Rights, with important implications; think.

Per Per a year ago Wanting to have children, as a woman, is in my opinion based on two main things. 1. Genes; some genes makes us emotionally want to have many children 2. Culture; the group pressure of what is norm and appropriate; one do not want to be regarded as an odd ball; friends and family want you as a woman to have kids. Evolution and a current economy of surplus will make sure that those women with genes and/or culture that favours many children will increase. It's simple evolutionary theory. Why then aren't there only "many children" families today. Simply because historically the economy was tougher; many children had to be supported, in ancient times when evolution made us, people starved at times, and those families with prudent culture and genes regarding the number of children survived. Of course, invention of contraceptives made their part why have less children today. One might argue that the sex drive and no contraceptions resulted in many children families. But now that we have contraceptives, those with genes that naturally want many children around them, and a welfare state to support them will result in more and more families will have many children. Same with culture; certain cultures will gain more and more children. Those with no emotion for children and no cultural group pressure will be sieved out of the gene pool. Just a simple theory, in my humble opinion. 1 View in discussion Discussion on Telegraph 427 comments What if, instead, Reeva Steenkamp had shot Oscar Pistorius?

The obvious answer is of course, breakfast, lunch or dinner invitations as a social gathering. Dinner is a great reason to meet up, talk and learn about each other's character, emotional attitude and courteousness, among other things. Of course it could just be to have some fun, and break the monotony of regular life. Of course you do not want to be turned down, when you invide, that hurts. You need a concrete reason, if you want to meet somebody new who you have gotten interested in. You can invite to a good restaurant, and say that you will pick up the bill. That is a concrete reason. I am from Sweden, and I will therefore share with you all reading this a concrete reason to invite somebody home to you. The concrete reason is to try a well tasting Swedish dish with Russian roots. It is always exciting to taste a new dish, that is well tasting. The dish is call Biff a la Lindström. The story is that Henrik Lindström came from St. Petersburg and introduced the dish in a restaurant in Sweden, ordering the ingredients to the table, and he and his dinner guests mixed the ingredients and then sent the beefs to the kitchen to fry. I have eaten it many times, especially in Botswana, where our maid Mariam made this dish because the people who lived in the house before us (we inherited the maid) were also Swedish, and she had learnt to cook the dish very well. The dish is very easy to make. Just mix all the ingredients in a bowl, salt and pepper and then fry the eight beefs with butter or margarine for 3-4 minutes on each side. Serve with boiled potatoes with mustard, grated horseradish, and capers. Tip for children's menu: serve with brown sauce, or cream sauce. Ingredients: 400 gr minced meat (from cow) 1 regular onion (finely diced) 1.5 decilitre (0.15 liters) diced pickled beetroots (ordinary) 2 tablespoons diced pickled cucumber (ordinary that you have on sandwiches) 2 eggs 1 tablespoon capers 1 teaspoon of salt 2 ml (2/1000 liters) ground black pepper or to taste To serving boiled peeled potates french mustard capers grated horseradish With this on the menu, a measure of social intimacy is more or less guaranteed, if they eat it for the first time and you cook well according to recipe. (based on recipe from tasteline.com ) A note. Not all people like Biff à la Lindström. I met with this lady Tatjana, who lives in Sweden since many years and was born in Minsk, she said she did not like Biff Lindström, strangely enough. But she like beetroots.

Regards, /Per Swedish Patriot (55 upvotes) The most important issue in the world, in my view, is that of devolution of power. To counteract power concentrating trends and ideologies. Let me quote the Bible in this context, “We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves.”, NKJV This quote works against power concentration, since it causes, if followed by all, a consensus that the ruler shall devolve power to the weaker (in power terms). Now let me return to the issue of positive case for immigration. I am refugee friendly. This because if you are able to flee a power concentrated dictatorship, people there will be more brave to challenge the dictator apparatus. Thus there is a force in the world that makes dictators considerate not to get all too powerful, since then terrorism (ANC is an example of justified terrorism, though I am against terrorism in general, and most forms of terrorism) and violence can hurt the dictator. Thus for us in the west to be refugee friendly helps devolution of power in the world. Lasly, say no to racism.

Per Per laffalot a year ago "Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it." Adolf Hitler "Things should be made as simple as possible, but not any simpler." Albert Einstein (source both quotes: BrainyQuote.com ) Racism is a too simple solution, repeated endlessly by some. View in discussion Per Per laffalot a year ago Racism is pushing down certain people and raising certain people only because of their race. Thus some people get critic on not what they are as a character, no matter how well they behave, no matter what good manners they have, no matter how prudent and wise they are, no matter how well they judge proportionally and balanced, but critic because of their biological heritage, their genes as a group of people, their race. Thus a white person that is a real disaster as a character might get more respect than a black person that behaves flawlessly. Is this right? Is this not a big problem? The issue is motivation to BEHAVE well. If white people get a free ride of respect simply because of their race, what motivation do they as a population have to behave well? If black people get condemned regardless of behaviour, simply because of race, what motivation do they have to behave well? Do you see the issue? We want a good society, and in a good society you get judged by your BEHAVIOUR, since this motivates people to behave well. If you get a free ride because of race belongings, or get condemned because of not being part of the "master" race, behaviour in society deteriorates. IS THIS CLEAR? 1 View in discussion Per Per laffalot a year ago Cheating is dishonesty. Everyone is watching, nothing is hidden, thus the diving, theatrics etc are all in the open for judging. Thus it is not dishonest. Thus not cheating. A little bit of theatrics that you get away with from the referee is part of the game; it makes football evoke emotions, and therefore makes football all the more fun to watch. Of course the referee has to be good with watchful eyes and give a yellow card or even red card every now and then. So that things do not get out of hand. 1 View in discussion Per Per laffalot a year ago Cheat - dishonest, deceitful, true. The question is if it is dishonest if the referee allows it. Of course, there is various degrees of cheating. If you take a knife and stabs an opponent player while the referee is not looking, that is a big cheat. But that doesn't happen, does it? What I am saying is that all the crowd is watching, TV is watching, you are aware of diving, theatrics etc, thus it is not dishonest, since most sees it. It is fun and evokes emotions. Football is more fun with gambles of diving, theatrics etc. Real cheating is when you do dishonesty that none is seeing, e.g. secretly adding performance inhibiting chemicals in the water bottles of the opposing team. 1 View in discussion Per Per Mr-Ed a year ago The referee is under watchful eyes and judgement. 1 View in discussion Per Per laffalot a year ago What you exemplified (diving, theatrics etc) is part of the game, it is allowed within bounds of the referee; thus by definition it is not cheating. 1 View in discussion Per Per laffalot a year ago No. The referee will make sure that cheating is curbed. The onlookers of the match, and thus media (who want support from watchers), will motivate that the referee keeps himself/herself within bounds of the rules.

View in discussion Per Per extorynowUKIP a year ago Well, let me tell you I got the inspiration for this post from this joke on the internet, Heaven, Hell, and Bill Gates Bill Gates dies in a car accident. He finds himself in purgatory, being sized up by St. Peter. "Well, Bill, I'm really confused on this call; I'm not sure where to send you. After all, you helped society enormously by putting a computer in almost every home in America, yet you also created that ghastly Windows'95. I'm going to do something I've never done before. In your case; I'm going to let you decide whether you want to go to Heaven or Hell." Bill replied, "Well, what's the difference between the two?" St. Peter: "I'm willing to let you visit both places briefly, if it will help your decision." Bill: "Fine, but where should I go first?" St. Peter: "I'll leave that up to you." "Okay then," said Bill, "Let's try Hell first." So Bill went to Hell. It was a beautiful, clean, sandy beach with clear waters and lots of bikini-clad women running around, playing in the water, laughing, and frolicking about. The sun was shining; the temperature was perfect. Bill was very pleased. "This is great!" he told St. Peter. "If this is hell, I REALLY want to see heaven!" "Fine," said St. Peter, and off they went. Heaven was a place high in the clouds, with angels drifting about, playing harps and singing. It was nice, but not as enticing as Hell. Bill thought for a minute, and rendered his decision. "Hmmm. I think I'd prefer Hell," he told St. Peter. "Fine," retorted St. Peter, "as you desire." So Bill Gates went to Hell. Two weeks later, St. Peter decided to check on the late billionaire to see how he was doing in Hell. When he got there, he found Bill, shackled to a wall, screaming amongst hot flames in dark caves, being burned and tortured by demons. "How's everything going?" he asked Bill. Bill responded, with his voice filled with anguish and disappointment, "This is awful! This is nothing like the Hell I visited two weeks ago! I can't believe this is happening! What happened to that other place, with the beautiful beaches, the scantily-clad women playing in the water?" "That was a demo," replied St. Peter.

View in discussion Per Per a year ago The kippers just don't get it, it seems. Some of them bolster that they have the answers, and then when asked what the answers are the response is "Don't cast pearls on swines..." (approx quote from the Bible) Well I think that is just bolstering up their case without actually having a ground to stand on. UKIP is anti EU and anti immigration, that is their solutions. Good. But problem is that the world in the UK scene is more complex than that. I don't think UKIP can deliver on hard issues, or deliver very poorly, simply because its a new party with no history of connections and hard earned experience. I'll repeat a post, since kippers don't understand that voting UKIP will get Labour into power. We've seen what Hollande has done for France. And Labour are pro EU (no referendum) pro immigration. Worst possible scenaria for kippers in other words if Labour wins, which they will do if you vote UKIP and not conservative. Representatives may be elected or become diplomatic representatives by a particular district (or constituency), or represent the entire electorate through proportional systems, with some using a combination of the two In Sweden we have proportional system of democracy. That means that coalitions can form and the coalition is a proportional representation of the votes. E.g. if a right wing coalition of many right wing parties form and they have a majority together, proportional to the votes, they form government. In UK there is, however, a constituency democracy. The party that wins the constituency wins the MP for the House of Commons. This can have the effect that a majority of right wing voters elect, through the system, a left wing government to power, since the split of parties that are centre-right wing (e.g. Conservatives, LIbDem and UKIP) loses constituencies to the left (e.g. Labour) simply because the split votes; the sum of the three centre-right parties may have a majority in the constituency, but since they are split Labour wins the constituency. For example consider a single constituency, 30 % Con 25% UKIP 5% Lib Dem 35% Labour 5% other Labour wins the constituency and gets a MP in the house of commons even though the centre-right three parties have 60% of the votes in the constituency. Divide and conquer is working for the Labour, it seems, even though it is not intentional. Thus the left should hope for that UKIP splits the right wing voters, since then they will win the general election. 1 View in discussion Per Per ogga1 a year ago Wait until "Popular Muslim Front" party applies for general elections...

Cameron, stay steady. Have the perseverance and bravery of Thatcher. If the EU keeps insisting on non-limited free movement of people to the UK, well then the UK has to leave. Simple as that. To be decided in an election 2017, if Cameron wins 7th May next year. And just have trade deals with the EU. The NHS and immigration is linked. If NHS proves itself in the future to be excellent, then immigration from EU might well surge simply because they want good health care for themselves (as sick people) or the their chldren (being sick) Lots of sick people will immigrate to UK if UK succeeds in a good NHS. If sick people enter the UK then the economy will be hurt in the UK and NHS will loose its funding base (tax income). Thus not staying steady with a stiff upper lip against immigration will be self defeating. Thus you need to contain immigration for a good NHS.

I am for taxing CO2 emissions from fossil fuels. I believe nickname French_kissed_by_god is with me on this, judging by posts made by him/her in this thread. Tax works as reverse subsidy, it motivates people to decrease the taxable entity. For example, if it is established that fossil CO2 emmisions leads in the future 100 years to a warmer harsher environment with significant raised sealevels, then that harsher environment incurs a increased cost of living for the inhabitants 100 years from now; do we have the right, with our current knowledge, to incur this cost? CO2 is rising. This wikipedia (at the bottom) shows the graphs. Those graphs also show that CO2 historically (ancient) has had even larger percentages; however humans and their constructions did not exist then, and if we assume a warmer climate then and risen seas, no coastal cities were drenched, no farmland were flooded, increased spread of malaria and dengue fever did not affect any humans. But now we see a temperature rise, and we forecast rising sea levels and with that flooding of lowland coastal land; less housing and less arable land - less food - more dieseases - in short, harsher living conditions for inhabitants 100 years from now With warming climate, there will be almost certainly a redistribution of fertile and desert lands, this is in the nature of the stochastic (randomness) weather. What if climate change makes India and China a large desert, both nuclear armed countries; will they just lay down and die, or will they, as the human spirit in most calls for, fight for their survival by, for example, occupying fertile land in other countries? In such a scenario, migration pressure will also increase, and this will almost certainly leed to large influxes to nations with arable land, since what is politically correct do to, which most politicians have as thier policiy nowadays, is to be humane and not watch all those millions starve.

We have to be very cautious and careful with the introduction of new technologies. How long will our civilisation survive? If civilisation survives, what quality of life will our children, grandchildren nieces and nephews, and their children have further on? Fracking is supposed to destroy the ground water. There is an equation called Drake's equation. The interesting factor there is how long a technological civilisation lasts. As technology develops, technology becomes more and more sensitive. The power to destroy and harm others becomes more and more sensitive, as things look now. Meaning that single or a small group of persons can actually play Gods. An example of this is "Do-It-Yourself" (DIY) biochemistry kits that sell off the internet. In the future, one lunatic might have the power to destroy the entire human race. Religion might help here, since most religious followers are afraid of damnation. If you destroy God or the Gods' creation, you might be in for a really nasty surprise in life after death. 90% of the world population believes in life after death. God or the Gods probably think that their "Aquarium" is a beautiful creation, and they have waited a long time for it to be interesting and really fun to follow. How mad and full of wrath do you think God or the Gods will be if you deprive them of the joy and fun of this world, the Aquarium? As always when you are about to make an important decision, you should ask, what do I personally have to gain, and what do I personally have to lose. If you don't believe in God or Gods and life after death, you might consider that you will die one day and you can't really enjoy the fruits of your work and decisions.

For example consider a single constituency, 30 % Con 25% UKIP 5% Lib Dem 35% Labour 5% other Labour wins the constituency and gets a MP in the house of commons even though the centre-right three parties have 60% of the votes in the constituency. (posted 15 Aug) Divide and conquer is working for the Labour, it seems, even though it is not intentional. Thus the left should hope for that UKIP splits the right wing voters, since then they will win the general election. 2 View in discussion Discussion on SvD 151 comments Alliansen misslyckades berätta att Sverige har lyckats bäst med jobben Per Per Mentat57 a year ago Off-topic?

Bakläxa. 2 View in discussion Per Per Mentat57 a year ago Nej. Det intressanta är att jämföra med hela befolkningen. Vad händer om i framtiden 80% är pensionärer? Självklart skall man ta hänsyn till hela befolkningen, dvs jämföra vilka som arbetar och bidrar mot de som är i praktiken bidragstagare eller mottagare av medel (t ex pensionärer, sjukskrivna, etc) från de som arbetar och bidrar. Anledningen till att det är intressant är att den riktiga andelen (dvs 50% som jag skrev ovan inlägg) talar om om samhället klarar att fungera. T ex om antalet arbetsföra är 2% och resten inte arbetsföra (pensionärer, sjukskrivna etc), då menar du att att en arbetslöshet enligt ditt sätt att mäta på säg 5% är acceptabel, medan denna siffra inte visar att samhället inte klarar av att försörja 98% (i detta exempel där 2% är arbetsföra) av befolkningen som inte är arbetsföra.

The reason, I believe, is partly due to competition from internet shops. But I don't think retail will ever die, for the same reason that pubs won't die. A beer is 3-7 times more expensive in Sweden at pubs (even thought we have an awful pub culture here, can't compare to Uk's) yet pubs survive. The reason is of course social. You want to chat, you want to look at people, you want to feel the atmosphere of the pub. You are willing to pay for that. For the same reason, shopping malls are there for looking at people, have a small chat, fell the atmosphere. Internet shopping have a much harder way at such type of competition there, they can't offer that, yet (may change in the future) It is this the retail much focus on; the total experience, and people are willing to pay extra for that; the feeling. Small towns in Sweden have retail in the town centre that are struggling, malls are taking over. But on the positive, people want to be recognised by the shop owner in small towns, have little gossip. This the retail of small shops need to focus on, the "I am home" feeling that many long for.

"And the third step in promoting integration is to ensure there's something worth integrating into. 'To make men love their country,' said Edmund Burke, 'their country ought to be lovable.' Integration has to be about more than immigrant communities, 'their' responsibilities and 'their' duties. It has to be about 'us' too - the quality of life that we offer, our society and our values. Here the picture is bleak: family breakdown, drugs, crime and incivility are part of the normal experience of modern Britain. Many British Asians see a society that hardly inspires them to integrate. Indeed, they see aspects of modern Britain which are a threat to the values they hold dear - values which we should all hold dear. Asian families and communities are incredibly strong and cohesive, and have a sense of civic responsibility which puts the rest of us to shame. Not for the first time, I found myself thinking that it is mainstream Britain which needs to integrate more with the British Asian way of life, not the other way around." Note Cameron said "Indeed, they see aspects of modern Britain which are a threat to the values they hold dear - values which we should all hold dear."

It depends on what you isolate from and what you make a union with. In short, if you gain from having a union and fail to gain from being isolationist, you should be in a union. Therefore, after this statement, you have to evaluate the quality of who you marry. Basically the quality of who you marry is mostly dependent on the culture they live by. If the culture is good and enriches us, then we should marry, otherwise not. Remember, if UK decides to be isolationist, you have to live with political influences of UK alone. If you think the political scene in the UK is less stable and less beneficiary without political influence from the French, the Germans, the Italians, Sweden (my country is in the EU) and the rest of the EU, then UK should remain in the EU. To be concrete, if you are a Labour voter, and you think that Conservatives with win future elections in the UK, you should consider that the EU might mitigate the Conservatives influence in the UK. If you are a Conservative voter, and you think that Labour will win future elections in the UK, you should consider that the EU might mitigate the Labour political influence in the UK. It is my opinion that the UK should stay in the EU, since i love the UK and it is my honest opinion that the UK influence on the EU is positive, and the EU influence on the UK is positive. However, the UK should stick to the Pound as long as possible, and the currency should be “floating” according to currency markets. This is my current opinion of how the political state of affairs in currently in the EU and UK, however should they change dramatically to the worse my opinion may change. If you like, I would wish to express some opinions on trade. Should we have completely free trade without tariffs and regulation? No. The reason is that UK will be a poorer country in the future if we import consumer goods and trade this with strategic and tactic UK property net, so that the perishable consumer goods that we traded to us leaves us with foreign ownership of said property (such as land, real estate, natural resources) and in the long term we have nothing left (perishable consumer goods, e.g. form China and India) and a resulting foreign (e.g. China and India) ownership of said property and thus a real disadvantageous power shift protected by our own ownership laws.

Either Jesus is a myth or he was real. Here are some motives as to argue for the myth, 1. The religious community needed a figure (imaginary and basis for the myth) to focus on that would confirm the Old Testament. ("I have not come to abolish the law" as Jesus basically said) 2.The people longed for a messias, then a made up messias is almost as good. 3.The emotional basis for such a myth to spread quickly was there (the originators of the myth felt the vibes in the air) and then some people thought it would be fun to be the originators of such a myth and then other people joined. The most important points (that I have in memory right now) that Jesus never existed are 1.

Whatever Christian values are, they have proven to create great nations. I am not considering religious nuts to have Christian values. To understand the sprit of things rather than being extreme is in the Bible, by many seen as one of the most central. 28 “Assuredly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter; 29 but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation”— 30 because they said, “He has an unclean spirit.” (St. MARK. 3:28-30, NKJV) The spirit of the above passage is that with weight we will view those who try to argue without looking at the sprit of the arguments as very detrimental. There are some pretty wise pieces in the Bible. The following quote I believe in strongly, “2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.” (St. MATTHEWS. 7:2, KJV) The following quote is a niece piece on racism, “34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.” (THE ACTS. 10:34-35, KJV) “34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. 35 But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.” (same NKJV) View in discussion Per Per non-foods a year ago It is helpful because it helps us to unite and cooperate.

(2) That's just the attitude of British average blokes, I've gathered. (3) The UK schooling system (including higher education) with grades is clear on this.

That means that coalitions can form and the coalition is a proportional representation of the votes. E.g. if a right wing coalition of many right wing parties form and they have a majority together, proportional to the votes, they form government. In UK there is, however, a constituency democracy. The party that wins the constituency wins the MP for the House of Commons. This can have the effect that a majority of right wing voters elect, through the system, a left wing government to power, since the split of parties that are centre-right wing (e.g. Conservatives, LIbDem and UKIP) loses constituencies to the left (e.g. Labour) simply because the split votes; the sum of the three centre-right parties may have a majority in the constituency, but since they are split Labour wins the constituency. For example consider a single constituency, 30 % Con 25% UKIP 5% Lib Dem 35% Labour 5% other Labour wins the constituency and gets a MP in the house of commons even though the centre-right three parties have 60% of the votes in the constituency.

I and my loved ones are all feeling well, thank you. Hope that you and your's are feeling well too. Regarding lies, let me quote Adolf Hitler, "Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it." (source: BrainyQuote.com) The biggest lie that I believe all parties in parliament keep repeating is "We are all of equal value" This simply is not the case. You probable have heard the phrase “All are of equal worth” repeated endlessly. This phrase’s popularity probably stems from as a consequence of the Nazi atrocities. What the Nazi’s did to the Jews and Romani people was absolutely horrific. But do we really in our hearts act and think as if this phrase was true? Would you for example marry any bloke just to prove to yourself that this phrase is true, and want to live up to it? You would not differentiate the value of different people. In some of the states of the USA they have the death penalty. Imagine whispering in the ear of a death row inmate; “You are just as much worth as everyone else, we’re just going to kill you.” The equal worth concept just lost its meaning in this specific example. The same for prison inmates. “You are as much worth as everyone else, however we’re going to lock you up.” On the other hand, if VIPs get blatant benefits that everyone else doesn’t it hurts. Envy and disgust can reach you. This envy and disgust fuels the erroneous phrase to become more true, and if we all lived up to it, we couldn’t punish criminals and you would have to marry just any bloke. If we can’t punish criminals, we have anarchy. And that we do not want. So we do not want to fuel this trueness of the phrase too much. Hence we should not give VIPs too much benefits that stings in the eyes of common people. However, we should all believe we are somebody special, since this helps with our self-esteem. If you have high self-esteem, you should of course use this to respect those that respects and love those that deserve your love. However, some people with too much self-esteem need to put in place. What about what the Nazis did? We should just stick to the conclusion that racism is wrong. And we should be refugee friendly. However, there has to be a balance to the refugee immigration. Proportions and reasonability is important. The anti immigration parties are a healthy and sound counter reaction to the mass immigration lobbyists. However, that said, I am for a reasonable immigration of refugees. Are all cultures of equal worth? No. The illegal drug culture is not of the same worth as a clean one in this context. The Nazi culture is not worth as much as a democratic culture. Please look up the meme definition in wikipedia. Thus we all have to make up our own personal culture. We all have value and weigh different cultural aspects. We have to accept or reject aspects of our common culture. We have to endorse and we have to fight. Who said life was easy? I myself have a value that is upsetting to many. I say no to God. Although religion is interesting, I like to think the definition of religion is values and statements that you hold dearly and defends fiercely. I do have values and statements that I defend fiercely; thus I have a religion. Part of my religion right now is, Absolutely not a God. Absolutely not free immigration.

(ireland) --- Thank you for your interesting response. First, I am strongly, very strongly, for devolution of power. A "United States Of Europe" would therefore be a move in the wrong direction. If that happens, then I am for a referendum, and I hope UK then leaves "United States Of Europe". I hope Sweden leaves the EU too, if that would be a reality. If important nations leave, what would be left of the EU? Therefore I think they would be careful to introduce "United States Of Europe"; membership is after all voluntary. (Per) --- It is plain to see that the creation of a United States Of Europe is an end result of the single currency,fiscal,taxation, interest rate, trade, political sovereignty surrendered.The dominant loudest voice in such a union will be German with Kraut Merkel making the demands.Can you really see the Germans stopping at just the euro nations in such a union?I cannot. Is there a strong euro sceptic movement in your country, is it a strong one,would your government be able to stand up to German pressure? Your ideas of devolution of power goes against the ethos of the E.U.policy makers, central Brussels control is their aim. (ireland) --- I'll repost a post I posted above, in relation to your worries.

Well it depends. It depends on what you isolate from and what you make a union with. In short, if you gain from having a union and fail to gain from being isolationist, you should be in a union. Therefore, after this statement, you have to evaluate the quality of who you marry. Basically the quality of who you marry is mostly dependent on the culture they live by. If the culture is good and enriches us, then we should marry, otherwise not. Remember, if UK decides to be isolationist, you have to live with political influences of UK alone. If you think the political scene in the UK is less stable and less beneficiary without political influence from the French, the Germans, the Italians, Sweden (my country is in the EU) and the rest of the EU, then UK should remain in the EU. To be concrete, if you are a Labour voter, and you think that Conservatives with win future elections in the UK, you should consider that the EU might mitigate the Conservatives influence in the UK. If you are a Conservative voter, and you think that Labour will win future elections in the UK, you should consider that the EU might mitigate the Labour political influence in the UK. It is my opinion that the UK should stay in the EU, since i love the UK and it is my honest opinion that the UK influence on the EU is positive, and the EU influence on the UK is positive. However, the UK should stick to the Pound as long as possible, and the currency should be “floating” according to currency markets. This is my current opinion of how the political state of affairs in currently in the EU and UK, however should they change dramatically to the worse my opinion may change. If you like, I would wish to express some opinions on trade. Should we have completely free trade without tariffs and regulation? No. The reason is that UK will be a poorer country in the future if we import consumer goods and trade this with strategic and tactic UK property net, so that the perishable consumer goods that we traded to us leaves us with foreign ownership of said property (such as land, real estate, natural resources) and in the long term we have nothing left (perishable consumer goods, e.g. form China and India) and a resulting foreign (e.g. China and India) ownership of said property and thus a real disadvantageous power shift protected by our own ownership laws.

There could be perfectly natural explanation. Read on. We are made of biologic evolutionary progress and laws of physics (laws of nature). "Survival of the fittest." There could be an evolutionary advantage to become a little cracy every once a month. To make connections and realise something you usually don't do. Schizophrenia among children of Nobel Laureates is very overrepresentated compared to normal population. Thus just like wolves howl at full moon, we could have developed through evolution to become a little cracy at full moon, since this helps ut to survive through extra creativity. There is a biological clock with us. Have you noticed that you can wake up a minute before the alarm clock rings. That is the biological clock in action. Thus even when there is no moon clouded by clouds, the clock programs us to become creative, noisy, and can't sleep etc, just as the police notices. Once the clock is synced by the moonlight once, the periods appear as usual. 3 View in discussion Discussion on Telegraph 1494 comments David Cameron urges Scottish nationalists to accept referendum defeat Per Per Fireychillout a year ago Oil is a contributing factor, but I think the main factor is Scots' pride and stubbornness.

When should you be an isolationist and when should you be a unionist? Well it depends. It depends on what you isolate from and what you make a union with. In short, if you gain from having a union and fail to gain from being isolationist, you should be in a union. Therefore, after this statement, you have to evaluate the quality of who you marry. Basically the quality of who you marry is mostly dependent on the culture they live by. If the culture is good and enriches us, then we should marry, otherwise not. Remember, if UK decides to be isolationist, you have to live with political influences of UK alone. If you think the political scene in the UK is less stable and less beneficiary without political influence from the French, the Germans, the Italians, Sweden (my country is in the EU) and the rest of the EU, then UK should remain in the EU. To be concrete, if you are a Labour voter, and you think that Conservatives with win future elections in the UK, you should consider that the EU might mitigate the Conservatives influence in the UK. If you are a Conservative voter, and you think that Labour will win future elections in the UK, you should consider that the EU might mitigate the Labour political influence in the UK. It is my opinion that the UK should stay in the EU, since i love the UK and it is my honest opinion that the UK influence on the EU is positive, and the EU influence on the UK is positive. However, the UK should stick to the Pound as long as possible, and the currency should be “floating” according to currency markets. This is my current opinion of how the political state of affairs in currently in the EU and UK, however should they change dramatically to the worse my opinion may change. If you like, I would wish to express some opinions on trade. Should we have completely free trade without tariffs and regulation? No. The reason is that UK will be a poorer country in the future if we import consumer goods and trade this with strategic and tactic UK property net, so that the perishable consumer goods that we traded to us leaves us with foreign ownership of said property (such as land, real estate, natural resources) and in the long term we have nothing left (perishable consumer goods, e.g. form China and India) and a resulting foreign (e.g. China and India) ownership of said property and thus a real disadvantageous power shift protected by our own ownership laws.

The second thing is the rules and policies of the company. (if the persons don't follow rules, what good is policy, anyway) (the investors get an intuitive feeling of this, not outspoken is my guess) The third most important is the actual business plan. Naturally, they look at hard numbers of profit and empirical data (and property such as patents, remember bad persons can squander the property - persons is no.1 priority, if the investors get a majority vote of the company then of course they can trust themselves); but as you know, those hard data can change in the future and be overrated if the above three priorities don't fit. The valuation of the company (asking price divided by share percentage/100 of company) versus expected future return. Investors know what they are doing from experience and communication.

Create a public web site where people with business ideas can disclose their ideas; for disclosing their ideas they get a return, a percentage of future profit of the businesses that spawn as a result of this. 2. People that want to build a business can look into the database of this website, and make a formal business proposal; they state why just they are competent and why they like the particual business idea fetched from the database. 3.

(SextusEmpiricus) — The heading here is "English votes only for English laws" Laws in England are important. To have the right values when one writes laws is important. I hope to influence the law writers with this post. Here are some of my general values and thoughts right now. You probable have heard the phrase “All are of equal worth” repeated endlessly. This phrase’s popularity probably stems from as a consequence of the Nazi atrocities. What the Nazi’s did to the Jews and Romani people was absolutely horrific. But do we really in our hearts act and think as if this phrase was true? Would you for example marry any bloke just to prove to yourself that this phrase is true, and want to live up to it? You would not differentiate the value of different people. In some of the states of the USA they have the death penalty. Imagine whispering in the ear of a death row inmate; “You are just as much worth as everyone else, we’re just going to kill you.” The equal worth concept just lost its meaning in this specific example. The same for prison inmates. “You are as much worth as everyone else, however we’re going to lock you up.” On the other hand, if VIPs get blatant benefits that everyone else doesn’t it hurts. Envy and disgust can reach you. This envy and disgust fuels the erroneous phrase to become more true, and if we all lived up to it, we couldn’t punish criminals and you would have to marry just any bloke. If we can’t punish criminals, we have anarchy. And that we do not want. So we do not want to fuel this trueness of the phrase too much. Hence we should not give VIPs too much benefits that stings in the eyes of common people. However, we should all believe we are somebody special, since this helps with our self-esteem. If you have high self-esteem, you should of course use this to respect those that respects and love those that deserve your love. However, some people with too much self-esteem need to put in place. What about what the Nazis did? We should just stick to the conclusion that racism is wrong. And we should be refugee friendly. However, there has to be a balance to the refugee immigration. Proportions and reasonability is important. The anti immigration parties are a healthy and sound counter reaction to the mass immigration lobbyists. However, that said, I am for a reasonable immigration of refugees. Are all cultures of equal worth? No. The illegal drug culture is not of the same worth as a clean one in this context. The Nazi culture is not worth as much as a democratic culture. Please look up the meme definition in wikipedia. Thus we all have to make up our own personal culture. We all have value and weigh different cultural aspects. We have to accept or reject aspects of our common culture. We have to endorse and we have to fight. Who said life was easy? I myself have a value that is upsetting to many. I say no to God. Although religion is interesting, I like to think the definition of religion is values and statements that you hold dearly and defends fiercely. I do have values and statements that I defend fiercely; thus I have a religion. Part of my religion right now is, Absolutely not a God. Absolutely not free immigration. However I may change my views in the future. Regards, /Per — It's interesting that you say that the BBC journalists are left wing. We have exactly the same situation in Sweden, only that all major news channel's journalists are left wing, as polls of their sympathies have shown. A late friend of mine, applied for the university school of journalism here in Sweden. To apply for the school he had to do a test. A lot of questions, most of them very political. He was a smart guy, so he understood that they wanted to test his sympathies for the left; he figured out that and answered all question though he was a radical left winger. He got in. Then he realised what type of colleagues he would have, therefore he didn't go for this prestigious degree. You need not only answer the questions right (or left as we know...) but you need very good grades from school too. In Sweden it is a well established facts that the left of the 70's actively sought to apply for certain strategic jobs, e.g. telephone maintenance (to wire tap phones) etc. They even had their own courts in the woods sentencing people that were deviating from the "true" doctrine (according to them, of course).

Charles Wesley's Methodist Hymnal contains the words as a reference to human weakness: "But worse than all my foes I find, the enemy within." It described the “enemy within” as “the evil heart, the carnal mind,/My own insidious sin.” All these three I must avoid, Evil heart - the desire of the heart to hurt others physically, and enjoy it Carnal mind - Sexual desire can get you into real trouble My own insidious sin - insidious means "unnoticed in action but causing something very bad in the end; secretly harmful" to me this means my naive child within me.

View in discussion Per Per a year ago I can recommend the thread "The Tories want an ethical society too" where Janet Daley writes the introducing words and then follows the comments. As somebody pointed out, Janet is a Jew. (I don't know of this is true) Why are the Jews more intelligent than the rest of us? According to studies, the Jews have 115 in IQ average across population, while the western world has 100. The Chinese and Japanense have 105. Is there a natural explanation? Yes, there is. The Jews are isolated culturally from the rest of the population, and in the Jewish culture there is great excitement and interest in those who are intelligent. The intelligent are sexy. Thus this becomes established and an upwards spiral of confirmation to intelligence in this community because they are isolated. The intelligent are preferred, sexually and get more children. Those Jews who are not sexy (less smart) have to marry someone from the outside; the "goy". Thus with time the Jews got smarter and smarter because of the culture. 1 View in discussion Per Per Per a year ago Speaking of war wisdom, here is the priorities that is important to win wars, 1.

The other reason not to have sex, as I recalled just now, was that you would be in a stark master/slave relationship; the one with the power can play with you like a toy, and I would not like that. (If the master with power don't get their will through, on whatever, they can use their means to power to blackmail or extort from. There is a completely different force relationship between one in power and one without.) The third reason, as I recall, is that sex is a very powerful emotion. People can go ravingly mad if they don't get their will through on this, once they have tasted the fruit. Dangerous stuff. Just don't let anyone with power taste your fruit... I guess having power has its drawbacks...

And Russia cannot take the territory once they are there, since then Russia would lose out on the business idea I just posted above, people would not trust Russia, and therefore it would be impossible to sell the insurance, hence it is in Russia's interest, speaking money and income not to betray the nations that sign up with an insurance for Russian protection (the insurance idea is much more lucrative than selling weapons since the insurance brings a steady yearly incomes for a long time, while weapons is a one time deal). Further USA would oppose that Russia takes control of the oil fields. View in discussion Per Per Ice_Inc a year ago But Saudi Arabia are Arabs, and Arabs are adjustable, to a certain degree, they know Russia would be interested, since Russia would not want UK or the USA to have control over the largest easily extractable oil fields in the world.

View in discussion Per Per tiddles a year ago Regarding Jesus, here are some arguments as to why he never existed. Either Jesus is a myth or he was real. Here are some motives as to argue for the myth, 1. The religious community needed a figure (imaginary and basis for the myth) to focus on that would confirm the Old Testament. ("I have not come to abolish the law" as Jesus basically said) 2.The people longed for a messias, then a made up messias is almost as good. 3.The emotional basis for such a myth to spread quickly was there (the originators of the myth felt the vibes in the air) and then some people thought it would be fun to be the originators of such a myth and then other people joined. The most important points (that I have in memory right now) that Jesus never existed are 1. You don't write down the story of Jesus decades later if he now could make magic and thus proved he was God's son; you write down the story immediately. 2. Fairly stupid of Jesus to say that the Devil shall burn, and then say that he is the Devil himself (morningstar).God(s) seems smart considering the Laws of Physics (the Laws of Nature), how then can his son be such dumb being. (Why is this dumb? Because the spirit of the two signals (Jesus said according to the Bible 1. Devil is bad and shall burn [St. MATTHEWS. 25:41], 2. I am the Devil [REVELATION. 22:16]) he is sending is contradictory.) 1 View in discussion Per Per a year ago All this religious stuff can really get on your nerves.

As I told a my Muslim acquaintance Mikael here in Sweden (he lives in the house next door, and he tried to get me to become a Muslim, but I said no), by the following argument. Imagine if in the beginning there was only one God, what would God do first? Get God friends. He would create another God, and another God and so on. First after this the Gods would create this Universe, were we live. As an aquarium to watch and be amused at. I think it is credible. The Gods work in mysterious ways.

Regards, /Per Swedish Patriot (55 upvotes) — I now know how the election turned out. A no. But it would have been a mistake for the Scottish to vote yes for independence. Obviously the English would have a great disadvantage for Scottish independence, and the English no is of no real debate, its obvious to vote no if you were English. For the Scottish, a no is too to prefer. Why? Because the brand name of Great Britain is so well established, consider for example the Australia has the Union Jack in its flag. The whole WW1 and WW2 victories. The successful spread of English values in the world in the colonization. The USA. The English language though out the world. In short the Union Jack and Great Britain is an immense brand in the world. This brand establishment the Scottish can still enjoy since they voted no.

Best Regards, /Per — Maybe not redesign the flag, but everyone in the world would know that the flag is not true on its historical grounds.

(SextusEmpiricus) — The heading here is "English votes only for English laws" Laws in England are important. To have the right values when one writes laws is important. I hope to influence the law writers with this post. Here are some of my general values and thoughts right now. You probable have heard the phrase “All are of equal worth” repeated endlessly. This phrase’s popularity probably stems from as a consequence of the Nazi atrocities. What the Nazi’s did to the Jews and Romani people was absolutely horrific. But do we really in our hearts act and think as if this phrase was true? Would you for example marry any bloke just to prove to yourself that this phrase is true, and want to live up to it? You would not differentiate the value of different people. In some of the states of the USA they have the death penalty. Imagine whispering in the ear of a death row inmate; “You are just as much worth as everyone else, we’re just going to kill you.” The equal worth concept just lost its meaning in this specific example. The same for prison inmates. “You are as much worth as everyone else, however we’re going to lock you up.” On the other hand, if VIPs get blatant benefits that everyone else doesn’t it hurts. Envy and disgust can reach you. This envy and disgust fuels the erroneous phrase to become more true, and if we all lived up to it, we couldn’t punish criminals and you would have to marry just any bloke. If we can’t punish criminals, we have anarchy. And that we do not want. So we do not want to fuel this trueness of the phrase too much. Hence we should not give VIPs too much benefits that stings in the eyes of common people. However, we should all believe we are somebody special, since this helps with our self-esteem. If you have high self-esteem, you should of course use this to respect those that respects and love those that deserve your love. However, some people with too much self-esteem need to put in place. What about what the Nazis did? We should just stick to the conclusion that racism is wrong. And we should be refugee friendly. However, there has to be a balance to the refugee immigration. Proportions and reasonability is important. The anti immigration parties are a healthy and sound counter reaction to the mass immigration lobbyists. However, that said, I am for a reasonable immigration of refugees. Are all cultures of equal worth? No. The illegal drug culture is not of the same worth as a clean one in this context. The Nazi culture is not worth as much as a democratic culture. Please look up the meme definition in wikipedia. Thus we all have to make up our own personal culture. We all have value and weigh different cultural aspects. We have to accept or reject aspects of our common culture. We have to endorse and we have to fight. Who said life was easy? I myself have a value that is upsetting to many. I say no to God. Although religion is interesting, I like to think the definition of religion is values and statements that you hold dearly and defends fiercely. I do have values and statements that I defend fiercely; thus I have a religion. Part of my religion right now is, Absolutely not a God. Absolutely not free immigration. However I may change my views in the future. Regards, /Per View in discussion Per Per Brigantian a year ago Isil. Are you foreign? View in discussion Per Per Per a year ago Of course it is.

Repetition of good stuff is a virtue. The heading here is "English votes only for English laws" Laws in England are important. To have the right values when one writes laws is important. I hope to influence the law writers with this post. Here are some of my general values and thoughts right now. You probable have heard the phrase “All are of equal worth” repeated endlessly. This phrase’s popularity probably stems from as a consequence of the Nazi atrocities. What the Nazi’s did to the Jews and Romani people was absolutely horrific. But do we really in our hearts act and think as if this phrase was true? Would you for example marry any bloke just to prove to yourself that this phrase is true, and want to live up to it? You would not differentiate the value of different people. In some of the states of the USA they have the death penalty. Imagine whispering in the ear of a death row inmate; “You are just as much worth as everyone else, we’re just going to kill you.” The equal worth concept just lost its meaning in this specific example. The same for prison inmates. “You are as much worth as everyone else, however we’re going to lock you up.” On the other hand, if VIPs get blatant benefits that everyone else doesn’t it hurts. Envy and disgust can reach you. This envy and disgust fuels the erroneous phrase to become more true, and if we all lived up to it, we couldn’t punish criminals and you would have to marry just any bloke. If we can’t punish criminals, we have anarchy. And that we do not want. So we do not want to fuel this trueness of the phrase too much. Hence we should not give VIPs too much benefits that stings in the eyes of common people. However, we should all believe we are somebody special, since this helps with our self-esteem. If you have high self-esteem, you should of course use this to respect those that respects and love those that deserve your love. However, some people with too much self-esteem need to put in place. What about what the Nazis did? We should just stick to the conclusion that racism is wrong. And we should be refugee friendly. However, there has to be a balance to the refugee immigration. Proportions and reasonability is important. The anti immigration parties are a healthy and sound counter reaction to the mass immigration lobbyists. However, that said, I am for a reasonable immigration of refugees. Are all cultures of equal worth? No. The illegal drug culture is not of the same worth as a clean one in this context. The Nazi culture is not worth as much as a democratic culture. Please look up the meme definition in wikipedia. Thus we all have to make up our own personal culture. We all have value and weigh different cultural aspects. We have to accept or reject aspects of our common culture. We have to endorse and we have to fight. Who said life was easy? I myself have a value that is upsetting to many. I say no to God. Although religion is interesting, I like to think the definition of religion is values and statements that you hold dearly and defends fiercely.

They have not done this, yet. Why? To go head on, here is my tip to Mr Cameron. Two parts. Repulsion and attraction. The repulsion part must make voters detest and loathe UKIP. This is easiest done by doing a head on repeated education of what libertarian is, and what kind of people support it. Check wikipedia. UKIP could of course change their minds and say they are no long libertarian, but that would lose them confidence, since change heads is not something you want to vote for. "Looking for something we can rely on" (quote from "We do not need another hero", Tina Turner) The second part is attraction. The easiest and quickest way to get people to love the conservatives is to tackle immigration. Put restriction on immigration. One should be non-racist and refugee friendly, but the argument here is that "even if the whole of the world were of British ethnicity, we could not allow for open doors in to Britain. Mass immigration must be managed properly, since it destroys countries. If you do this, you have completed the attraction part. View in discussion Per Per a year ago It's 1st of October, go to bed.

(david) — But I love the UK and wishes it goes well for the UK. (Per) — You are mute on the drive towards a United States Of Europe, as called for by former German Chancellor,Gerhard Schroeder, by current E.U. Vice President Viviene Reding, and backed by German Merkel.In such a union all sovereignty would be transferred to the Brussels Commission,if effect a European government, German dominated.You may like this notion I suggest that a majority here would dissent. I want a referendum where my vote to leave the E.U. would count for something,until then I would like to hear Cameron say no, no ,no no to the E.U.on many projects. (ireland) --- Thank you for your interesting response. First, I am strongly, very strongly, for devolution of power. A "United States Of Europe" would therefore be a move in the wrong direction. If that happens, then I am for a referendum, and I hope UK then leaves "United States Of Europe". I hope Sweden leaves the EU too, if that would be a reality. If important nations leave, what would be left of the EU? Therefore I think they would be careful to introduce "United States Of Europe"; membership is after all voluntary. (Per) --- It is plain to see that the creation of a United States Of Europe is an end result of the single currency,fiscal,taxation, interest rate, trade, political sovereignty surrendered.The dominant loudest voice in such a union will be German with Kraut Merkel making the demands.Can you really see the Germans stopping at just the euro nations in such a union?I cannot. Is there a strong euro sceptic movement in your country, is it a strong one,would your government be able to stand up to German pressure? Your ideas of devolution of power goes against the ethos of the E.U.policy makers, central Brussels control is their aim. (ireland) --- I'll repost a post I posted above, in relation to your worries. Hope you get it. Politics and affiliation to a particular party is a lot like football and affiliation to a club. People stay loyal to their club; but there is a limit. I remember an acquaintance who supported Hammarby (the "working class" football club in Stockholm) very strongly, he had scarfs and the whole lot. He talked for his club passionately. But then came a breaking point. He switched club abruptly to AIK (the "entrepreneur" football club in Stockholm), the main hate object for Hammarby. He wore all the paraphernalia for AIK after that. He spoke passionately for his new club. Funny. (Per) --- No I cannot get it,but clearly you and I will never agree. I believe in the nation state and nationalism. Your posting has come up, I am having some computer problems. (ireland) --- "Now England must rediscover its patriotism" Whoever spreads the following message is a patriot in my view: "There are patriots and there are infidels. Whoever defends and is for "free immigration" is an infidel." Because free immigration will destroy the country. Its clear and obvious to me and I can explain it but I refrain. Regards, /Per Swedish Patriot (55 upvotes) (Per) 1 View in discussion Per Per a year ago When should you be an isolationist and when should you be a unionist? Well it depends. It depends on what you isolate from and what you make a union with. In short, if you gain from having a union and fail to gain from being isolationist, you should be in a union. Therefore, after this statement, you have to evaluate the quality of who you marry. Basically the quality of who you marry is mostly dependent on the culture they live by. If the culture is good and enriches us, then we should marry, otherwise not. Remember, if UK decides to be isolationist, you have to live with political influences of UK alone. If you think the political scene in the UK is less stable and less beneficiary without political influence from the French, the Germans, the Italians, Sweden (my country is in the EU) and the rest of the EU, then UK should remain in the EU. To be concrete, if you are a Labour voter, and you think that Conservatives with win future elections in the UK, you should consider that the EU might mitigate the Conservatives influence in the UK. If you are a Conservative voter, and you think that Labour will win future elections in the UK, you should consider that the EU might mitigate the Labour political influence in the UK. It is my opinion that the UK should stay in the EU, since i love the UK and it is my honest opinion that the UK influence on the EU is positive, and the EU influence on the UK is positive. However, the UK should stick to the Pound as long as possible, and the currency should be “floating” according to currency markets. This is my current opinion of how the political state of affairs in currently in the EU and UK, however should they change dramatically to the worse my opinion may change. If you like, I would wish to express some opinions on trade. Should we have completely free trade without tariffs and regulation? No. The reason is that UK will be a poorer country in the future if we import consumer goods and trade this with strategic and tactic UK property net, so that the perishable consumer goods that we traded to us leaves us with foreign ownership of said property (such as land, real estate, natural resources) and in the long term we have nothing left (perishable consumer goods, e.g. form China and India) and a resulting foreign (e.g. China and India) ownership of said property and thus a real disadvantageous power shift protected by our own ownership laws. The song that is telling if we want to marry or not is “Kisses of Fire” (from the album “Voulez-Vous”) by ABBA. The best song by ABBA in my opinion. Listen to the song for free on Spotify here http://open.spotify.com/track/... PS. I am very content with Spotify. Good sound quality and fast access. Spotify has enriched my quality of life.

Would the children have to accept Jill's baltant inconsiderate egoism? No. They could tell here that she would lose them as her friend, and they would never go to any other birthday party with her again. This right to detach is the weak's weapon. Schools must have this weapon to bad students that misbehave. Further, what if the strong inconsiderate egoist becomes angry with the detachment and rejection? There are always strong good people who react with emotion of injustice who put these in place. The police is good. Personally, I am a mix of right and left.

The pure self interest for Jill (your kid) is to carve out a really big piece of the only cake. The self interest is to have a large piece to eat, and scorn at others who get much less.

"Where we have strong emotions, we're liable to fool ourselves." Carl Sagan (RIP) View in discussion Per Per stoffel45 a year ago Repeated post for you (posted previously in "Eurosceptics must learn serious lessons from Alex Salmond’s defeat"). Repetition of good stuff is a virtue. When should you be an isolationist and when should you be a unionist? Well it depends. It depends on what you isolate from and what you make a union with. In short, if you gain from having a union and fail to gain from being isolationist, you should be in a union. Therefore, after this statement, you have to evaluate the quality of who you marry. Basically the quality of who you marry is mostly dependent on the culture they live by. If the culture is good and enriches us, then we should marry, otherwise not. Remember, if UK decides to be isolationist, you have to live with political influences of UK alone. If you think the political scene in the UK is less stable and less beneficiary without political influence from the French, the Germans, the Italians, Sweden (my country is in the EU) and the rest of the EU, then UK should remain in the EU. To be concrete, if you are a Labour voter, and you think that Conservatives with win future elections in the UK, you should consider that the EU might mitigate the Conservatives influence in the UK. If you are a Conservative voter, and you think that Labour will win future elections in the UK, you should consider that the EU might mitigate the Labour political influence in the UK. It is my opinion that the UK should stay in the EU, since i love the UK and it is my honest opinion that the UK influence on the EU is positive, and the EU influence on the UK is positive. However, the UK should stick to the Pound as long as possible, and the currency should be “floating” according to currency markets. This is my current opinion of how the political state of affairs in currently in the EU and UK, however should they change dramatically to the worse my opinion may change. If you like, I would wish to express some opinions on trade. Should we have completely free trade without tariffs and regulation? No. The reason is that UK will be a poorer country in the future if we import consumer goods and trade this with strategic and tactic UK property net, so that the perishable consumer goods that we traded to us leaves us with foreign ownership of said property (such as land, real estate, natural resources) and in the long term we have nothing left (perishable consumer goods, e.g. form China and India) and a resulting foreign (e.g. China and India) ownership of said property and thus a real disadvantageous power shift protected by our own ownership laws.

[edit] I found the name on wikipedia, you mean George Osborne of course. As you understand, I am new to Brittish politics, and have only superficial knowledge of it. As to Cameron's supposed failure, as you write, there is only so much politicians can do in a world economy. In Sweden, which is heavily dependent on exports, the world economy means more than what politicians do be it social democrats or alliansen. NOTE, politicians can always ruin the economy, such as in Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe, so reckless politicians can really matter, but I think you know what I mean by politicians can only do so much. I mean as long as the politicians are prudent and reasonable, there is only so much they can do. But if they want to ruin the country, they can do this, by mass immigration, for example.

View in discussion Per Per a year ago In a game of football, you cannot attack the referee. Why? Since then the matches will not be fun to watch. The enjoyment of the matches in football is dependent on that the football teams follows the rules, otherwise it is not football you are watching, it is something else, but not football. Now that it is clear the competing teams have to follow the rules of football, that leaves us with the referee. The referee enforces the rules. If you attack the referee, then the referee might in the future consider that he or she will be attacked when judging the game. Thus you corrupt the mind of the referee if the referee has to consider being attacked. Thus an unfair judgement will arise (in favour of the most vicious attacker, rather than following the rules fairly and competently) The referee has to consider being switched off from further matches if he or she judges incompetently in relation to the rules. This is the only needed enforcement that the referees are motivated to follow the rules of football. View in discussion Discussion on Telegraph 732 comments The Tories want an ethical society too Per Per bugalugs2 a year ago Dear bugalugs2, The Right? question is short for "Do you think this conclusion is right?" The conclusion on the table is the English voted for Conservatives mostly since both the Scots and Welsh mostly in majority voted for Labour. Since the Conservatives won the general election in 2010, the total number of districts that they won was in majority, and since the Scots and Welsh voted Labour to balance this off to a total majority, the English must have voted Conservatives in general majority, otherwise the total would not be a victory for Conservatives. (I am assuming that the Scots and Welsh were represented by a majority of district of Labour over Conservatives, since by the wikipedia article you can see that in Scotland and Wales the Labour had majority over Conservatives) If you have a bucket of blue marbles that are in majority over red marbles in total, and then you take red marbles from this bucket and make them majority in another two smaller buckets, you can see that in these smaller buckets the majority is red marbles, however since you have sorted out more red marbles than blue ones from the larger bucket, there has to be even more of a majority of blue marbles remaining the large original bucket. View in discussion Per Per Paul Greenwood a year ago You can never be charged for just following rules. However, joining the Army with vicious rules could get you charged. Accepting the rules could get you charged. The rule that could get you really charged is (if accepted) "I will automatically accept all revisions and new rules made out to me. I will never quit" Because of its dangerous nature - blank cheque. Your punishment might be mitigated if you show you have broken such a dangerous rule. In other words, you can never be charged for following rules, but accepting them you can be charged; the winning power will of course not charge you if you break the enemies non-common rules, rather reimburse you. If you break important and dangerous rules that the enemies have, the more reimbursement in the form of mitigation to punishment and/or rewards in the form of money, music and muses... Acceptance of rules may not come immediately, buy the nature of them may dawn on you as you go along; if you accept them then when you have understood them, and do not break them then, then you will be charged. You cannot charge a computer for following vicious rules, since the computer does not understand the significance of accepting the rules. Similarily, if you have really stupid soldiers that do not understand the significance of accepting the rules, they get less punishment. Those who understand the significance of the acceptance of the rules get harsher punishment. What it boils down to is the nature of the rules, not the cruelly of what happens in wars.

As I told a my Muslim acquaintance Mikael here in Sweden (he lives in the house next door, and he tried to get me to become a Muslim, but I said no), by the following argument. Imagine if in the beginning there was only one God, what would God do first? Get God friends. He would create another God, and another God and so on. First after this the Gods would create this Universe, were we live. As an aquarium to watch and be amused at. I think it is credible. The Gods work in mysterious ways. There are in the literature today that exists many credible arguments as to that Jesus never existed. Josefus’ Testimonium Flavianum was a forgery, that is obvious.

Where have you heard that (military pact)? The problem is that Denmark and Norway are part of NATO, but Sweden isn't. Iceland is also a NATO country (Nordic but not Scandinavian). Scandinavia is only Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Scandinavians have long been able to travel relatively freely within Scandinavia (Nordic Passport Union), even before the European Schengen treaty.

View in discussion Per Per a year ago What is a more powerful concept, Britain or Germany? Britain has influenced the world, with English culture and language. Very powerful. Germany will always be remembered for Hitler. Very powerful. Britain has successful Rolls-Royce jet engines. Germany has good selling cars. Germany may have a stronger economy, but that is made up by the British influence that Britain has on the political world. If you haven't figured it out yet, Britain has nuclear arms, Germany doesn't. View in discussion Per Per Intercontinental a year ago Politics is interesting. Please read what I wrote at, "What is a Rockefeller without oil?" Of course, you have to understand the motivation of Kim Philby as to why he betrayed. Politics. View in discussion Per Per Intercontinental a year ago It's interesting that you say that the BBC journalists are left wing. We have exactly the same situation in Sweden, only that all major news channel's journalists are left wing, as polls of their sympathies have shown. A late friend of mine, applied for the university school of journalism here in Sweden. To apply for the school he had to do a test. A lot of questions, most of them very political. He was a smart guy, so he understood that they wanted to test his sympathies for the left; he figured out that and answered all question though he was a radical left winger. He got in. Then he realised what type of colleagues he would have, therefore he didn't go for this prestigious degree. You need not only answer the questions right (or left as we know...) but you need very good grades from school too. In Sweden it is a well established facts that the left of the 70's actively sought to apply for certain strategic jobs, e.g. telephone maintenance (to wire tap phones) etc. They even had their own courts in the woods sentencing people that were deviating from the "true" doctrine (according to them, of course). 4 View in discussion Per Per Guest a year ago What do you mean by "competantly".

Obviously the English would have a great disadvantage for Scottish independence, and the English no is of no real debate, its obvious to vote no if you were English. For the Scottish, a no is too to prefer. Why? Because the brand name of Great Britain is so well established, consider for example the Australia has the Union Jack in its flag. The whole WW1 and WW2 victories. The successful spread of English values in the world in the colonization. The USA. The English language though out the world.

(SextusEmpiricus) The heading here is "English votes only for English laws" Laws in England are important. To have the right values when one writes laws is important. I hope to influence the law writers with this post. Here are some of my general values and thoughts right now. You probable have heard the phrase “All are of equal worth” repeated endlessly. This phrase’s popularity probably stems from as a consequence of the Nazi atrocities. What the Nazi’s did to the Jews and Romani people was absolutely horrific. But do we really in our hearts act and think as if this phrase was true? Would you for example marry any bloke just to prove to yourself that this phrase is true, and want to live up to it? You would not differentiate the value of different people. In some of the states of the USA they have the death penalty. Imagine whispering in the ear of a death row inmate; “You are just as much worth as everyone else, we’re just going to kill you.” The equal worth concept just lost its meaning in this specific example. The same for prison inmates. “You are as much worth as everyone else, however we’re going to lock you up.” On the other hand, if VIPs get blatant benefits that everyone else doesn’t it hurts. Envy and disgust can reach you. This envy and disgust fuels the erroneous phrase to become more true, and if we all lived up to it, we couldn’t punish criminals and you would have to marry just any bloke. If we can’t punish criminals, we have anarchy. And that we do not want. So we do not want to fuel this trueness of the phrase too much. Hence we should not give VIPs too much benefits that stings in the eyes of common people. However, we should all believe we are somebody special, since this helps with our self-esteem. If you have high self-esteem, you should of course use this to respect those that respects and love those that deserve your love. However, some people with too much self-esteem need to put in place. What about what the Nazis did? We should just stick to the conclusion that racism is wrong. And we should be refugee friendly. However, there has to be a balance to the refugee immigration. Proportions and reasonability is important. The anti immigration parties are a healthy and sound counter reaction to the mass immigration lobbyists. However, that said, I am for a reasonable immigration of refugees. Are all cultures of equal worth? No. The illegal drug culture is not of the same worth as a clean one in this context. The Nazi culture is not worth as much as a democratic culture. Please look up the meme definition in wikipedia. Thus we all have to make up our own personal culture. We all have value and weigh different cultural aspects. We have to accept or reject aspects of our common culture. We have to endorse and we have to fight. Who said life was easy? I myself have a value that is upsetting to many. I say no to God. Although religion is interesting, I like to think the definition of religion is values and statements that you hold dearly and defends fiercely.

I have also heard that blacks in Africa have better genes against disease as a group. However, I was not making a case for racism.

But I believe strongly in revenge; for example the bombing of Dresden was right in WW2 As I posted before, revenge should be done. The keywords are, police, friends, cunning ingenuity, planning. As you said "Discipline is NOT about hitting people." Therefore you have work out a way to revenge WITHOUT hitting people. I have very strong emotion for injustice. I was touched by your story. Therefore, in this emotional state, I wrote before about "Or you could simply go for a baseball bat and face mask ;-)". I wrote, of course, on intimidation and do his pants. Really, the only idea I want to convey is that you should revenge on the vicar, but NOT with violence. There has to be a way. I'll give you some wise words. "When should you be content?" "You should be content when you have no pain." Observe, this does not mean zero pain. Implied in "no pain" is of course, some pain. Because some pain is good for you since it protects your body. Evolution has provided us with this function because pain protects our body and help us survive. You should understand when you hurt your body, is the message. Interestingly, you cannot translate the second phrase to Swedish, since this translation implies zero pain. I am glad that my second language is English. I have decided today that Swedish and English are my only primary languages. I want to focus on those languages and excel at them, introducing more languages to myself will just blur things up.

He would organise a tight team that would be loyal to him, and enjoy the scorn to the world that Hitler is living and in good health in Sweden. A farm for example with border patrols. Hitler cannot of course show himself in public, but he can stroll on the domains get the food he needs and enjoy an occasional lover.

My school in Africa, where I got good grades in O-levels and A-levels, had excellent discipline. No corporal punishment needed. All that was needed was that you could ban students from remaining in the school. 2 View in discussion Per Per JBR a year ago Would not surprise me if islamic terrorists got corporal punishment when they were young. Just because we have no corporal punishment in this part of the world does not mean that other parts of the world don't; third world and islamic world comes to mind. 1 View in discussion Per Per JBR a year ago No. But certainly could be a contributing factor. It's all about attitudes how societies evolve. View in discussion Per Per JBR a year ago No, of course not. England should have fought, which they did, this was right. But the attitude of Hitler and the Nazi party and armed forces could have been different, if the "quick fix" of violence was not seen as an obvious solution to meet his dreams. If there had been a general notion that violence is wrong, Hitler would not have been so successful in reaching power. And if he did, he would have had people influencing him that violence is wrong. Or don't you think they had corporal punishment in Germany when that generation grew up? History is important if we want to learn. Just as important as a back mirror in a car. Do you know Leopold II of Belgium and his atrocities? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L... Same attitude there. View in discussion Per Per JBR a year ago If you were at school 50 years ago, you were probably born in 1950's. WW2 was still in fresh memory then. WW2 is the most blatant example of crime and terrorism. The attitudes toward such a war, where violence is the solution, were probably fuelled by corporal punishment. Don't you think? Don't forget WW1. Don't forget all the earlier wars, either. We live in more peace now then ever before. Mostly because the attitudes of seeking a simple solution of violence has changed. More patience now and finding solutions by agreeing with each other. View in discussion Per Per Tropical Pom a year ago Funny. You get one up vote.

She risked her life by being stubborn on this issue, as the history of the plot showed. On the negative side (in my opinion), she was against the ANC. I am for the ANC, since they fought blatant racism by a blatant racist regime. What the ANC did, even terrorist attacks, was right, since their cause was noble.

Hitler cannot of course show himself in public, but he can stroll on the domains get the food he needs and enjoy an occasional lover. The team are loyal, because when Hitler dies of old age, they would tell the world of their feat. Interesting.

Different thoughts are good for me. Regards, /Per View in discussion Per Per a year ago The heading here is "English votes only for English laws" Laws in England are important. To have the right values when one writes laws is important. I hope to influence the law writers with this post. Here are some of my general values and thoughts right now. You probable have heard the phrase “All are of equal worth” repeated endlessly. This phrase’s popularity probably stems from as a consequence of the Nazi atrocities. What the Nazi’s did to the Jews and Romani people was absolutely horrific. But do we really in our hearts act and think as if this phrase was true? Would you for example marry any bloke just to prove to yourself that this phrase is true, and want to live up to it? You would not differentiate the value of different people. In some of the states of the USA they have the death penalty. Imagine whispering in the ear of a death row inmate; “You are just as much worth as everyone else, we’re just going to kill you.” The equal worth concept just lost its meaning in this specific example. The same for prison inmates. “You are as much worth as everyone else, however we’re going to lock you up.” On the other hand, if VIPs get blatant benefits that everyone else doesn’t it hurts. Envy and disgust can reach you. This envy and disgust fuels the erroneous phrase to become more true, and if we all lived up to it, we couldn’t punish criminals and you would have to marry just any bloke. If we can’t punish criminals, we have anarchy. And that we do not want. So we do not want to fuel this trueness of the phrase too much. Hence we should not give VIPs too much benefits that stings in the eyes of common people. However, we should all believe we are somebody special, since this helps with our self-esteem. If you have high self-esteem, you should of course use this to respect those that respects and love those that deserve your love. However, some people with too much self-esteem need to put in place. What about what the Nazis did? We should just stick to the conclusion that racism is wrong. And we should be refugee friendly. However, there has to be a balance to the refugee immigration. Proportions and reasonability is important. The anti immigration parties are a healthy and sound counter reaction to the mass immigration lobbyists. However, that said, I am for a reasonable immigration of refugees. Are all cultures of equal worth? No. The illegal drug culture is not of the same worth as a clean one in this context. The Nazi culture is not worth as much as a democratic culture. Please look up the meme definition in wikipedia. Thus we all have to make up our own personal culture. We all have value and weigh different cultural aspects. We have to accept or reject aspects of our common culture. We have to endorse and we have to fight. Who said life was easy? I myself have a value that is upsetting to many. I say no to God. Although religion is interesting, I like to think the definition of religion is values and statements that you hold dearly and defends fiercely. I do have values and statements that I defend fiercely; thus I have a religion. Part of my religion right now is, Absolutely not a God. Absolutely not free immigration. However I may change my views in the future.
