Safe Haven Law from Nebraska.

[TheoK]

Having it go up until someone is teenage is a bit ridiculous - I thought the idea would be that social workers would work with the families in preventing it from happening.

In Sweden they can take anyone up to 18 years from their parents for whatever reason they find out. I know perfectly law-abiding parents with good jobs having their kids taken from them because of rumours that they were alcoholics...guess why I hate Swedish authorities...

safe haven is not theft from the state.  it is a gift TO the state.

The Swedish state cannot steal or lie or be wrong in any other way...

all governments are fucked up.  some are more sophisticated than others.  sweden probably aint that bad.

No, it's for sure better than Iran, North Korea or Saudi Arabia.

maybe north korea.

but i bet the majhority of saudis and iranians think their system is just fine.

[TheoK]

I doubt that. But Swedes are not dumb, just too nice and submissive.

No, but my dad lived there in 1979-80 and knew a few of them.

the swedes are so gullible.  believing people when people are simply telling them what they want to be told.

Why would they say to him that their country is shit, when they risk death penalty for saying that to a foreigner?

universal healthcare is also rediculous.  but i guess that some people get some benefits from it.

Having a national health service is brilliant - the USA should have gotten one about 60 years ago.

should they?

better for those of us who do have great benefits.  we get sick and are treated like royalty.

you know all about royalty, dontcha?

Anyone who does not think the National Health Service is good enough is welcome to buy private insurance instead. Few do so over here however - I wonder why...?

my wife got an extra pillow last time she went into the hospital.  and i recieved the happy ending.

The rich do it over here because they are snobs - nothing much else. When things go badly wrong they always run with their tails between their legs into the nations health service. Preferably I would like to leave them outside to rot as an example....
