Changing times

I must say I was somewhat surprised when I heard that Croatia had been accepted as EU’s 28th member state… I suppose it was to be expected at some point but I wasn’t prepared for it right now. I mean who knows what will happen to the EU union and especially what the stricter control of the member states economies and budgets will mean…

Mr Juholt has resigned after a 7th month long period as the Party leader for the Social Democratic Party and what’s more is that there isn’t anybody else willing to replace him and take on the big task to clean up things. Of course there’s been a lot of people asked but so far everyone asked has declined. And unfortunately it his likely that the entire board will be forced to resign.. They have until Friday to decide and to find a candidate.

A lot of Swedish political parties seems to have lost votes and thereby influence and like the Social Democrats other parties are looking for reforms and new elections or replacements of Party Leaders… And it seems likely that Sweden will be accepted into the EU cooperation – without having changed their currency for EURO…

Adoption or not

Life’s purpose

Many people believe that the purpose of life is to have children, that doesn’t mean that everyone becomes parents. Some may actually not want to have children at all period.

But a majority do, some may be single and some may be infertile or homosexual for one reason or another. If you for some reason can’t become a parent by biology you can apply for adoption or try IVF. But in Sweden it’s more complicated if you’re a gay man or woman that like to have biological children. Apparently one of the requirements for being approved for a sex change is that you accept that you have to a vasectomy or tubal ligation.

With that said it’s still not socially accepted for Swedes to reject the sterilization IF they are serious in wanting a sex change. Thomas Beatie the first pregnant man has by now had 3 children, but he’s still the father and his wife is the mother.

If you want to adopt a child you have to fulfill the general requirements usually age requirement, health requirement and social status. And it’s still easier for single women to adopt while the same can’t be said for men.

Happiness

When I… After this and that… If only…

Why wait for happiness, who are you trying to fool !? For years I used to focus on the wrog thing in life, being negative, sad and angry. 2012 will be the start of my new happier life – not because I lost weight, found Prince Charming, got a promotion or anything like that.

The way to success or at least happiness is easier than so… It’s all a matter of your attitude… instead of focusing on problems and negativity, be happy for the good things in life and start seeing everything as something positive.

Euro or not

It has not been a surprise that both Germany’s Merkel and France’s Sarkozy wants a stricter economic control of all it’s member’s economy. Apparently they would like Sweden to join in the Euro union but Sweden are already an EU member. And so far Sweden have managed to not get so affected bythe current recession – maybe because we still have our independence and our own currency.

Some politicians now fear that Sweden will be forced to join in the Euro union while others think that scenario would lead to Sweden leaving the EU union…
