When I think asking for hand in marriage I think 18 year old talking to his highschool sweet heart or old fashioned gentleman asking the father. Well yeah, that's the modern day phenomenon. However the tradition didn't just spring up from nowhere. It came from exactly what you're describing in your second paragraph. "Hey, I want to marry your daughter." "Hmm, nope, your estate isn't big enough, I decline." --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage. It has two. |

Only difference is that men and women both have the luxury of being property of the state, now, thanks to the IRS. So I guess the whole asking for the father's permission/father giving the daughter away at the wedding/man of the house/stay-at-home-mom/women voting rights coming much later/etc just came from nothing. "Feminist mythology" is probably the dumbest excuse I've heard today. --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage. It has two. |

I don't know how this topic came about, but you know that women were basically property until like the 20th century, right? "Worked quite well" is a bit of a laughable contention. --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage. It has two. |

Liberalism and empiricism (foundation of modern science) both stem from that time. It's not very strange that academia is full of liberals when modern science is based on liberal philosophy. It sounds quite natural to me, actually, and I would expect that on top of the self selection COVxy mentions there is also a natural conversion - as you reason yourself to look at things with a scientific frame of mind, chances are it'll rub off on your reasoning skills. Which would lead you to favor the empirically optimal policies while still maintaining your moral foundation. That's a very liberal mindset. --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage.

Because I was under the impression that we already entered the EMU and the Euro was just the final step, which we postponed indefinitely. --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage.

I would think that, by definition, a citizen from a non-Sweden EU country moving to Sweden would be a migrant. That's sort of what the word means. --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage.

People you never elected can change rules. That's ridiculous. Disregarding the inaccuracies of this, you realize we vote for the European parliament, too, right? --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage. It has two. |

| scar the 1 09/06/17 9:52:54 AM #6 | It'll be interesting to see this play out. I don't know much about the appeal process, but I would think that Sweden could try and make their case in an EU court that since a lot of other EU countries didn't honor their refugee agreements, borders had to be closed. --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage.
