[quote=Anonymous]I'm not understanding some of the PP's points here... Why is it relevant that Norway has one of the highest standard of living? Does it imply that the government can do no wrong then? Their naming system is asinine. A woman who wishes to name her child, "Molli" with an i instead of "Molly" with a y is required to explained why the deviation from the standard spelling of the name. Huh? I would tell the naming bureau to go f$@* off and move! A country that values uniformity so much that it suppresses any uniqueness? Then why the great tolerance for gay rights? Why the tolerance for prostitution? Is a significant percentage of their society gay or prostitutes? And why are PP's bringing up all the negative things about India? Why is that relevant? Just as it truly is irrelevant that Danish naming systems are idiotic and their hypocrisy in their belief of mandating uniformity is obvious, so are all the negative things about India. Yes, India still practices the caste system but only in certain areas of the country. The government doesn't endorse it. Yes, there is a lot of corruption in India but we have asshole American presidential candidates who say things like, "I'm not concerned very much for poor people." We enslaved Africans for years. Our country hasn't and isn't exactly just and fair to all. Bottom line is Norway can oust this family but they can not hold these children, who are Indian citizens. They should have gotten the Indian government involved. Co sleeping, hand feeding, and wearing ill fitting clothing is part of being Indian. Indians immigrant children are often seen in high water pants and outdated clothing because they honestly don't get western fashion or attire. Children are hand fed even up to 12 years old sometimes. Large extended families will live in small quarters also. It's a part of middle class life there. BUT - the children feel completely loved and cared for. So I say F@#% Norway and it's decision to remove the children. it is very harmful to remove children that age from their parents in the absence of real physical violence or abuse. This has made me rethink Norway...[/quote]
