Bravo Lybus! After being dejected reading (and responding) to what I perceive as horrible information within this particular sub-forum, I read your post. It is thoughtful, useful, and well informed. Thank you for sharing.
Bravo to Raoul! Great post on Denmark, Finland et al. I've been to Sweden among other places and I was shocked at the permissiveness, and overindulgence of sɛҳuąƖity, really yucky music, and adult beverages. I'm not Puritan, but I sure felt like it working and dining with my Swedish colleagues. I don't think that the Danish people appreciate child pornography. I think it was a loophole in the law that was subverted and utilized by the perverts that finally was closed in 1980. I cannot comment on anything else; satanic music, etc. that outside my scope of any intelligent discussion.
I also did appreciate ggreg's thoughts regarding the sociological precepts of 'hot' vs. 'cold' personalities. And I have actually witnessed this. Agreeing with Raoul that this is truly about original sin, putting that to the side for a moment and examining the cultural variances with respect to northern and southern hemispheres in general is actually a cool anthropological study. Also, it would follow that it is ethnic and cultural attitudes and projection of self (for a lack of a proper word at the moment). My personal example is I was born and raised in the south. People there are generally very gregarious, warm, and loving. I live in the north now, and find that people are generally hard to warm up, quiet, and very...stern. I call it the "German"--whether they're of German heritage or not! In fact it is so bad at times, I really get home sick. So when I get to go to Atlanta, I'm ready as I need that southern hospitality as a prescription to myself! Even if it's Hotlanta, I'll take what I can get.
