    National Stereotypes

    I didn't think that Swedes were still considered sex crazy now that sex education and proper pornography doesn't raise many eyebrows around the globe. Swedes are boring, reserved and wimpy contrary to the macho and melancholic neighbours the Finns who drink copious amounts of alcohol almost...

    Kurt Vonnegut: Slaughterhouse-Five

    I don't think that it's in the animals’ best interest to keep them as pets since they won't live in a natural environment. Pets in cities especially, where dogs only are taken for walks in the parks a couple of times a day and cats and other small furry animals are castrated to change their...

    Doesn't the pages become greasy because of the popcorns?

    Kurt Vonnegut: Slaughterhouse-Five

    I recently read Slaughterhouse Five Has anyone tried putting their pet dog or cat on a large mirror on the floor to see what their reaction was? Do they really make a giant jump for their life so they won't be sucked into the void of the mirror? Do they trust the person that dropped them on the...

    foreign films

    Ever since I saw "La Carne" I've wanted to see the rest of Ferreri's movies, especially "Le Grande Bouffe" which seems to be the most famous but so far I haven't been able to find it in the movie rentals. I think I've laughed out loud a couple of times but I've seen it more as a movie that is...

    Book found after 30 years in freezer

    You might have strong feelings about it now that you're alive but when you're dead you're not likely to care so it shouldn't matter what someone wishes when they're alive. I'm all for property rights and I'd rather see the million go the cats instead of the state which would be likely to waste...

    A town called Alice

    I was also pleasently surprised by that it turned out to be better than I had thought it would be. I read it as an assignment for school like I'm guessing you were as well, tigger. It's not too common to read books that you expect to be boring otherwise. I like titles like this that has a...

    foreign films

    I believe the red, white and blue movie is by Krzysztof Kieslowski. I haven't seen those movies myself but I've enjoyed the Kieslowski's Dekalog movies that I've seen. Especially the fifth which is about murder.

    Writing from the perspective of the opposite sex

    I don't think that there are any greater differences between men and women for the most part so the perspectives isn't something that I've pondered on a lot. I think that it should be possible to write a novel without disclosing the gender of the person just as some writers don't disclose the...

    foreign films

    I almost only watch foreign film "Reconstruction" is Danish not Swedish. Though I guess that it could be a collaboration. At least one actress is Swedish. The following are some of my favourite films that I recommend to everyone. "Naked" by Mike Leigh "Videodrome" by David Cronenberg...

    Who likes Star Wars?

    The digital band in episode VI is my favourite pet peeve. In my opinion the only good thing about the add-ons is the full figure of the snow monster in episode V (it wasn't digital) but I think it may have ruined the suspense of the scene anyway. I think the Jabba sliding may have been...

    Which book scared you?

    I've never had any shit scared out of me by books but "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and "Ring" by Koji Suzuki managed to create very uncomfortable moods for me. Uncomfortable in a good way. While those scared me on an emotional level, “Solaris” by Stanislaw Lem managed to...

    Book found after 30 years in freezer

    Perhaps you're not fond of "Der Process" but would you feel the same way if Bulgakov had given orders that "The Master and Margarita" should burned or if Ruff had wanted "Fool on the Hill" shredded. These authors might not be dead at the moment I'm writing this but I think you get the idea.

    Your Titanic

    Well, Halo could always try to write why she believe that Margaret Thatcher is evil and compassionless.

    Your Titanic

    If I understand it correctly then this is the same thing as a death list. I think you should at least motivate why you would like to see people dead. It makes it a lot more motivated.

    Book found after 30 years in freezer

    After someone has actually died it's not likely that they'll care. Emotions seem to be something unique to the living. If Kafka's supposed will had been made, his remaining works would have been burned, then we wouldn't have had the pleasure to read "Der Process". You can look at it like...

    Another, is it time to legalize thread...

    It cannot actually be legally sold but it is only the one that makes the purchase that will be prosecuted. I think that the reasoning behind it is that the prostitutes is considered victims and shouldn't be victimized further by legal process. I'd say that it's a lesser evil compared to the...

    Another, is it time to legalize thread...

    I think that prostitution should be legal because of the simple principle that the state should not decide what you can do with your own body. In Sweden it's not illegal to sell sexual favours but it's illegal to purchase. If it ever becomes legalized in Sweden it's not unlikely that it'll be...
