France thought Pippi was dangerous
"Det franska förlag som gav ut Pippi Långstrump [1951!] censurerar henne häftigt och stryker det alltför provocerande och anarkistiska. Bl a vill det franska förlaget inte ha ett omslag som visar hur Pippi på raka armar lyfter en häst. Möjligtvis kan de tänka sig ett omslag som visar hur Pippi på raka armar lyfter en liten ponny.
'Franska barn har erfarenheter av krig, så de är mer realistiska än svenska', menar förläggaren. 'Franska barn skulle aldrig tro på en flicka som är så stark att hon kan lyfta en fullvuxen häst.'
'Oj då', svarar Astrid Lindgren. 'Men visa mig då en verklighetsbild på en flicka som på raka armar lyfter en ponny.'
Först 1995 efter att en kritisk uppsats skrivits om den franska Pippi-översättningen, fick de franska barnen möjlighet att ta del av Pippi i Astrid Lindgrens egen tappning."

Questionable questions?
Nat: Who owns X? A or B?
Person: They lay locally here.
Nat: Who OWNS X? A or B?
Person: You use a script to...and they lay here.
Nat: Beep beep beep! WHO OWNS THE FREAKING THINGS?
Several minutes later I understand that X is NOT owned by A. Good, that was ALL I wanted to know. I ask for ownership and the anwer I get is a location...
Seriously, why do people seem to "refuse" to answer the extremly straight forward question where the answer is eg. "yes/no/sometimes/I don't know", "a/b/both/neither/I don't know"? Very frustrating. I start to wonder sometimes if I am stupid. Why don't people understand what I am saying, is my Swedish/English really that bad?!

Insane in the brain!!!
If the bill passes, I would really like to try to make Swedes join together, get new e-mail accounts and send as many emails to people abroad filled with "dangerous" words, just to make the FRA work with stupid things.
I am scared.

Palm oil is in all kinds of food. Every time it says "vegetable oil", it can be palm oil and it is everywhere! Take some time when buying food, check out the table of contents and you'll see that palm oil is or can be everywhere.

The sand and the stone
Det är en historia om två vänner som vandrar i öknen. Vid ett
tillfälle börjar dom gräla och den ena ger den andra en örfil. Den
senare, som får ont, men inget säger, skriver i sanden: 'Idag fick
jag en örfil av min bäste vän'.
De fortsätter att promenera och kommer till en oas, där de
bestämmer sig för att bada. Den som fått en örfil tidigare, håller på att
drunkna men hans vän räddar honom.När han kommit till sans igen,
skriver han på en sten 'I dag räddade min bästa vän mitt liv'.
Den som givit örfilen och sedan räddat sin vän frågar:
'När jag skadade dig skrev du i sanden och nu när jag räddat dig
skriver du på en sten, varför?
Den andra svarar: 'När någon skadar oss skall vi skriva det i
sand där förlåtelsens vindar lätt kan sudda ut det.
När någon gör något bra, bör vi gravera in det på en sten där
ingen vind någonsin kan sudda ut det.
Lär dig att skriva dina skador i sand och dina glädjeämnen på
sten'.

Hagelin
A little about Dagmar Hagelin here.
So called choice
Morpheus: Everything begins with choice.
Merovingian: No. Wrong. Choice is an illusion, created between those with power, and those without.
I'll get back to this topic later, I have plenty to say about the concept of "choice" when it comes to politics.

Are YOU doing unpaid work at home?
He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed:
'Dear Lord: I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home. I want her to know what I go through. So, please allow her body to switch with mine for a day. Amen!'
God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish. The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman.
He arose, Cooked breakfast for his mate,
Awakened the children,
Set out their school clothes,
Fed them breakfast,
Packed their lunches,
Drove them to school,
Came home and
Picked up the dry cleaning,
Took it to the cleaners and
Stopped at the bank to make a deposit,
Went grocery shopping,
Then drove home to put away the groceries,
Paid the bills and balanced the check book.
He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog.
Then, it was already 1P.M.
He hurried to make the beds,
Do the laundry,
Vacuum,
Dust and
Sweep and mop the kitchen floor.
Ran to the school to pick up the children and
Got into an argument with them on the way home.
Set out milk and cookies and
Got the children organized to do their homework.
Then, set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing.
At 4:30
He began peeling potatoes
And washing vegetables for salad,
Breaded the pork chops and
Snapped fresh beans for supper.
After supper,
He cleaned the kitchen,
Ran the dishwasher,
Folded laundry,
Bathed the children,
And put them to bed.
At 9 PM
He was exhausted and,
Though his daily chores weren't finished,
He went to bed
Where he was expected to make love,
Which he managed to get through without complaint.
The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said: - 'Lord, I don't know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay home all day. Please, oh! Oh! Please, LET US TRADE BACK. Amen!'
The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied: 'My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were. You'll just have to wait NINE months, though. You got pregnant last night!"
