Sweden's Twitter Experiment: Good Idea or Recipe for Disaster?

I think that reveling our true nature will, in the long run, benefit humanity. You can't fix what you don't know is broke. I think Sonja hit a home run with that question. I would like to hear the answer from the Pope who, last year, absolved the Jews of the killing of Christ, a Rabbi of my faith. Nobody ever mentions the 6,000+ other Jews nailed to crosses on the roads into and out of Jerusalem. For 2,000 years, the children of the rebellion of Rome have been murdered for that crime. There must be a lot of souls in Hell for this crime as well.

You will always have atleast 1 radical right or left in every crowd. Once they get control of something, it is hard to turn back the clock.

People get radical when they think their future is at stake. We are deciding whether we are going to keep on being a Constitutional Republic or change to a Corporate Oligarchy. Some change is not good for us. Some are even willing to commit treason for it.

I do not think she is radical, just uneducated.

I didn't either. I only wanted to help her understand the consequence's of not being involved.

Opps I was actually responding to Krspro... but I do agree with you.

if they want a social experiment like this things like this are going to happen, its part of research, thats why I say it's a good idea

All views should be able to be voiced if we are to be free. Ignorance must be exposed if we are to grow as a people. The benefits outweigh the discomfort of reading nominally cogent positions.

I would have rather said "pointless". I really don't give a crap about some 27 year old Swedish woman. Her beliefs are hers, and I'm really surprised Sweden would do something so... I can't even find the word for it.

But they probably should have screened before and after. When you're letting someone, I don't know, represent a nation, you need to be careful.

Good Concept. I don't think she meant anything racist. I just don't think she's very bright.
Maybe they had better vet the candidates in the future.

Great idea! Love the experiment.

For entertainment purposes alone, Good idea.

Sweden isn't exactly the brightest nation on earth.

What makes you say that?

Nothing against Swedish people. I have Swedish friends on my Christmas card list. But it's their government that isn't so good, just like we have wicked people in our government.

Sweden has done two dumb things during my life time: During the Fuel Crisis of the 1970's they outlawed driving on Sundays - if I lived there how would I get to church? (What the Swedish government did was a deliberate attack against God and his church.) And Sweden was one of the first nations to legalize gay marriage. Since I know God detests the practice of homosexuality, (which is lust, not love), He has to object to gay marriage, too.

-----if I lived there how would I get to church?

Ever heard about public transport?) It actually is present in Europe)

Why would you say that?

That doesn't make them unintelligent, it makes them non religious. This does not make a difference to me as I am not a Christian, and if I was a Christian and church was that important to me, I would just hop on a bike, or walk.

I did not drive for much of my life, and that was even while having children. If I had to go to the grocery store, i would put my tykes in the tandem stroller, and I would walk a mile to get there, do my shopping, tie my groceries to the handles, and shove some in the basket underneath and walk the mile all the way back, which by the way that stroller got pretty darn heavy with two children and all that stuff in it. I was taught if there is a will there is a way. All I had to depend on was myself and my own two feet and I made it work.

I do not care if gay people get married, because I am not a Christian, and I figure if God does exist in the way the bible describes, he will take care of it... light all of us on fire or whatever. So... yep.

I would not say non religious, but more tolerant and more open-minded.

I agree, but the fella above felt that Sweden was attacking God.

One can't but smile about such answers. Thank you for your support.

Jag stöder mina svenska bröder och systrar alltid.

I will always support my Swedish brothers and sisters!

I am not Swedish, but I visited Stockholm once and I liked it and the friendly people there very much.

Yeah, they are nice people. :) I bet they liked you too!

I think they did as friends of other countries do; I have correspondents in many different parts of the world.

I think that is great! You seem like a lovely person.

Thank you for your kind words; you too seem to be a lovely, open-minded person. I appreciate my contacts very much indeed - a couple from Asia called me lately over fb to say hello.

You are welcome.

Never twitted, nor facebooked...and never will. Stupid waste of life!

And yet you have a SodaHead account??

lol, you are absolutely right Marine!

Hoppas dom ger stafettpinnen vidare till Johanna Sjödin...

what?

He says that he hopes they keep giving the baton (ie twitter account) to Johanna Sjodin. He must like her.

Thank you for translating; Johanna Sjödin seems to be a popular and sexy model and artist in Sweden. Why not ask a politician like Gunilla Carlsson?

Hey, maybe they will.

They had and have plenty of bright people in Sweden, and of course, in every country.

Thank you !
