Have Sweden’s permissive parents given birth to a generation of monsters?
Daily Telegraph (UK) ^ | 7:13PM GMT 13 Feb 2014 | Judith Woods

… Sweden was the first country on the planet to introduce a ban on physical punishment in 1979. Thereafter, the view was taken that hierarchy within families ought to be jettisoned in favor of treating children like adults. But while the egalitarian values of social democracy might work for the economy, they have been a disaster on the domestic front. […]

… (S)omething is rotten in the state of Sweden. (Psychiatrist David) Eberhard points to growing social problems in school, where Swedish pupils routinely refuse to follow teachers’ instructions, and later on in what he views as their unfulfilled young adulthood. […]

“Young people in Sweden tend to be very disappointed in life, especially in their twenties,” observes Eberhard. “While there is a falling rate of suicides, there is a huge rise in suicide attempts, especially among girls aged 15 to 25.” …

I doubt this is no.1 when it comes to causes of feral youth. How about the routine sexual abuse by the Swedish authorities through ‘dress like a girl days’ at schools, and the allowance of adoption by pedophiles? These things are also becoming legal in already feral Britain.

Western Europe is a cesspool. Let’s pray for a violent revolution.

Everybody screamed when I kissed the teacher
And they must have thought they dreamed when I kissed the teacher
My whole class went wild
And I held my breath the world stood still but then he just smiled
Nearly petrified 'cus he was taken by surprise when I kissed the teacher
Couldn't quite believe his eyes when I kissed the teacher
Leaning over me
He was trying to explain the laws of geome-treeee
And I couldn't help it, I just had to kiss the teacher.

- Swedish pop group ABBA (1975)

So the bad news is that they want to kill themselves, but the good news is that they are too incompetent to accomplish that.

Yay, progressivism.

Decadence follows a lack of personal discipline and raising children in a “judgement free” and valueless manner. Young people need a template. If they “rebel” or change as adults they at least have reference points. These Swedish kids as predicted have become rudderless narcissists with endless demands that can never be fulfilled.Sweden is in the post Christian neopagan era. Its native birthrate will continue to decline. It will become the Brazil of the North.

That passage has nothing to do with corporeal punishment.

This should be an interesting combination with a huge influx of feral Muslim yutes invading Sweden.

Could it be due to feral muslim males raping their way through the Swedish population? Nah, that would be RACIST.

Discipline means to teach, hence, disciple - and the rod referenced is a shepherd’s crook, a device used to guide, not punish. No good shepherd would strike that which he is trying to guide and teach, especially with the tool that is the symbol of love and protection.

Oh stop the crap..and read Proverbs 23:12-14 if you need further illumination as to what Solomon says about “the rod”.

Proverbs 23:…12Apply your heart to discipline And your ears to words of knowledge. 13Do not hold back discipline from the child, Although you strike him with the rod, he will not die. 14You shall strike him with the rod And rescue his soul from Sheol.…

Your post does need repeating. :) Love the “post Christian neopagan era.” I’ll have to remember that for my psych classes.

A reply from source:

Sweden is heading towards a big crisis. Feminist extremists are in power, all men are evil and women all saints. At the same time there are already these African/Muslim tribal enclaves with archaic attitudes demanding free money to flow forever. Sweden could be a failed state within 10 years.

>I’ve lived in Sweden & worked there as a dentist.
Jack is absolutely right.

Yep, in a culture prohibiting children as young as four to use terms ‘she’ or ‘he’ and demanding kids to report if their parent aren’t politically correct at home?

Northern Europe is dead. Remember a jiraffe they ‘ve killed recently? They are doing same to people on a daily basis.
Remember a story of ‘ugly’ manly Dutch girl forced to live in garage by her parents not to disgrace them? Doctors recommended her a sex change despite the fact she wasn’t transgendered. As soon as it turned the way you can expect, they have prescribed euthanasia because no other means could help her depression. You simply couldn’t make this crap up.
