I must say; right now I feel pretty damn good. I’m, kind of, relieved from all the mumbo-jumbo jive which I experienced as a blogger at another space.
After few months, having the “own” blog site, I really started to enjoy it. I expressed my thoughts and my feelings, I wrote about the things I thought, at the time, should’ve been written and it gave me an inner satisfaction. It’s like going to a priest. Receiving the comments occasionally was just a bonus to me.
To that “fantasy world” I was introduced by my near IRL friend (big mistake) who taught me, pretty mach, everything I know about blogging and I’m thankful for that. Time went by and I began to notice what’s actually hiding behind some bloggers character; need of possession and control of others.
I thought that even in “blog space” exist well known “FREEDOM OF SPEECH”, in its proportion of course, but for some bloggers (especially those we know personally) somehow the “freedom of speech” is not accepted. I mean, it’s like this; you wouldn’t call or send the E-mail to anyone telling them;”how could you write that in your blog?”, or what they should write in your comment box and certainly you wouldn’t write in anyone’s comment box telling them to delete comments, written by some other blogger, and at last, you wouldn’t suggest to anyone to get off the “space”, for they communicate with your’s blog friends, or you’ll pull out? Or would you? Aren’t we grown up? Aren’t we capable enough to handle and judge that? It’s a damn puzzle to me, what’s the achievement with that? Is this some kind of competition or what? It’s a simple blogging for God sake, we are not running for the “Pulitzer Prize”, or the “Top ten”.
Anyway, to skip intrigues and unnecessary conflicts, spreading out of proportions, I decided to walk away, close and delete my previous blog site. I started this one with new "image" hoping to find peace and of course new cyber - friends.
You all can find this blog boring with my grumbling but as I said this is my "father Tuck" ;-)

GRASSHOPPER -
Glad you're back-I missed you-
Hope I didn't cross over that 'line' you are talking about -
I've always enjoyed your comments, and ideas, thought that was the purpose of the blog-to exchange ideas without being judgemental!!
And I am wondering how you feel about multi-culturism - is it working in Sweden?
The Globe and Mail-Canada's national newspaper, devoted a three page spread titled "Meet the New Swedes" indicating that many Muslims coming over really are not interested in becoming a citizen of your country - and we have that situation here in Canada. They have their own schools and do not adopt anything that is Canadian - Just wondered what your thoughts are, without getting too political. Sweden is second only to Canada in the number of immigrants allowed into the country.
Notice I have not expressed an opinion, only introduced a topic for discussion!! I am politically correct, for the moment!!!

Welcome to my new blog site:-)
"Meet the New Swedes" by Margaret Vente? I just read it. It’s very interesting but at the same time not very true. One of the first things the Muslims do is planning to get a citizens ship which gives them some kind of welfare security. To bad that Vente didn’t spend more time with “Mr. Svensson” or even with some immigrant who came to Sweden in 60’s or 70’s. I’m pretty sure she would change the story by 70% if she would print it at all. The subject is very touchy if it’s written as it should – the real truth.
I might just write in my next blog more about it if you didn’t attend to.
hug :-) grasshopper
Good Day Grasshopper -
Go ahead and adopt this subject in a new post - I may do the same just to get some feedback from a Canadian viewpoint - at this point, I am not as well informed as I need to be if I'm going to express an opinion on Canada's policies.
Look forward to yours!!
Good afternoon to you MMCA
I guess Wednesday sounds as a good day to come out with new post. It will give me some time to prepare. As I said, it’s a bit touchy subject so I got to be careful not hearting anyone. Not too much, anyway. :-)
hugs // grasshopper
GGOD LUCK WITH THIS ONE !!
You will have to be at your best, and sooooooo diplomatic - hopefully, throwing some Canadian
Policies into the mix will prove very interesting- If 'they'want to stone you, come and get me - I will back you up,not with my strength,(I am but a little woman)
but with my vast expanse of literary knowledge - haaaaaaaa
If you believe that, I have a Bridge to sell!!!
