I'm feeling cold, cold, cold...

I'm still in the ice-box. Our socialized health care system has not taken care of me- still! While I'm still being "disfigured", I would like to share this video with you about (sceptic) finnish and north american scientists about "global warming".

It is mostly in finnish with english subtitles.

Give it a chance!

Fighting the system

OK, I was at the orthoaepedics yesterday. For once- I did not have to stay in the waiting room for hours, just a quick three minutes.

The doc said- and I quote- "I have never seen a mess like this!"

I said- "No shit!".

So now they are going to send me for an utrasound examination. But I don't know when. And the insurance company are giving me trouble. And then after that, there will be surgery.

SIGH!

Since I'm writing this with one arm and hand, this is all I can report about just now, but please go visit the bloggers in my sidebar.

Sorry for the abscence

I have been fighting the Swedish socialised health care system for several months now. It's a nightmare. I don't get proper care and the insurance company (state owned of course) are giving me trouble.

At least I have an apointment at the orthoapedics next Tuesday. But I'm not holding my breath. I have had 4 appointments cancelled during the past four weeks.
They just send you around and around in the system, no one want's to actually give you the health care that you need, they just bill the taxpayers for me sitting in a waiting room for hours. All the while me being non productive!

I'm writing this with ONE working arm.

Well, atleast- I'm looking forwad to the coming weekend. My kid sister are getting married, and it will be a nice get to gether with many of my family members in Stockholm. I just wish that - as the doc so nicely put it- that I was not "disformed". HEH! It sounds like I'm some sort of a mutant...

The unions- again!

The unions has forced building workers to pay back SEK 7 500 to it's employer because they were to well paid!

The union wanted the employes to get the minimum wage of SEK 128 instead of the SEK 166 an hour that the company gave them!

Socialism in a nutshell!

Swedish aid

Apparently, we Swedes are giving away SEK 92 million every day in aid to foreign countries. (That's about $ 14 million). Among these are those fine and peace loving countries as Russia- who sits on the second largest capital reserve in the world, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, the - of arabians - occupied territories of the middle east and so on and so on.

If we were to stop all "aid", all retired people in Sweden would, or could get an extra 17 000 SEK in their wallets per year, and of course- if it would be given only to the poor pensioneres it would be a much larger amount!

SIGH!

Hat tip to Every Kinda People

Mehdi Ghezali

After the Armed Forces of the United States together with the Afghan Northern Alliance initiated a bombing campaign on the Tora Bora mountains a large number of al-Qaeda sympathisers and others in the affected areas fled southward to Pakistan. Mehdi Ghezali was captured by local warlords in Pakistan in the Tora Bora mountains which are close to the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, and then handed over to the U.S. Armed Forces which transported him to Guantanamo Bay Naval Base on Cuba where Ghezali was held at Guantanamo Bay detainment camp.

During his stay at Guantanamo Bay Ghezali was visited by representatives of the Swedish government (February 2002, January and July 2003 and January 2004) and was informed that he had been assigned an attorney in Sweden (Peter Althin) and that his case had been brought up in inter-governmental contacts and had been featured on several occasions in the Swedish media. Ghezali supposedly refused to discuss what he was doing in Afghanistan and Pakistan with the agents of the Swedish government.^[4]

On May 15, 2006 the United States Department of Defense released a list of all the individuals who had been held in military custody in their Guantanamo Bay detainment camps. That list gives Ghezali's Guantanamo detainee ID as 166.^[5] The DoD lists his place of birth as Stockholm.

Wikilink

Now this asshole has been arrested again in Pakistan, suspected of afilliations with al- Quaida!

Go figures... What a surprise! NOT!

American TV

I'm no big fan of television. Not that I could enjoy it, it's just that I do other things instead. But now an EU directive has critisized Sweden for not sending more than 50% of TV- programs that are produced inside of the EU!

GAAH!

Most of what is aired here are produced in the USA, and that's the way the people here like it!

I, myself hardly never watch any TV- series produced inside of EU, but for sport events. It's all American otherwise, well save for Discovery channel (which is half and half).

So with ACTA, the Telecom directory, FRA, the Stockholm program and a bunch of other legislations they now also want to control what we watch on TV!
