[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Norway is well known to place the state above parents, contrary to the glowing report given by a PP.

As a homeschooling mother with an Indian husband, I have been following this case closely:

Their son was taken from them when they were on a plane, emigrating from Norway to India.  Their offense? Briefly homeschooling their son to ease his transition to a new home.

One reason why we should never take our liberty for granted.  While I may have a hard time with my in-laws' practices of sleeping with my kids and hand-feeding them, I am grateful we (currently) live in a country where the state cannot call such practices abusive.[/quote]

Are you saying NORWAY is a country that consistently overreaches their bounds? NORWAY??? A place where we all could only hope and dream of living with the highest quality of life in the world!![/quote]

You think the standard of living in Norway makes it a utopia??? That the government is NOT intrusive? That is hilarious and sad. So many people here think Western Europe is so forward, so wonderfully progressive and yet citizens there are not nearly as free as they are here. [b]The restrictions on liberties such as free speech in many of these places would blow. your. mind. I think all of the people here who mock staunch patriots, tea party-ers, etc. should move to somewhere like Denmark, where the government gives you a list of names to choose from when naming your kid.[/b] It's not all extended maternity leave and streets so safe you can leave your baby outside in a stroller.[/quote]

That's not exactly correct.  Try getting your facts into the appropriate century/decade.  Or even naming a baby in one of these countries, then get back to me.[/quote]

Just getting back to you:
