Now, let me explain to all of you why the Swedish government is not closing down society and quarantining people/closing of areas.
This is a little known fact outside Sweden, and it rarely comes up in the debate.
Neither the Swedish government nor the Swedish parliament has the authority to do that.
The Swedish constitution guarantees all citizens the right to free movement in peacetime, no exceptions but one, people with a dangerous contagious disease can be forcefully quarantined according to the contagious disease act. But that only applies to specific individuals.
A hearty tip of the hat to the Swedes for adhering to their written law. Lord knows we Americans abandoned any such fidelity about a century ago.
And here’s to wishing you a full and speedy recovery.
GTFOH jbreher...
WTF are you spouting Jeegs? Firstly, I am speaking of the Supreme Law of the Land -- and the relation between the Swede's to theirs, and we to ours. I salute them for their adherence to written law, and I bemoan us for our clear abandonment of ours.
Those kinds of original intention argument frameworks are frequently used to perpetuate superficial and nonsensical generalizations, and nobody's got time for dat.
Actually, just shup. You have no point to be made in this conversation. Unless you want to start over from a completely different trajectory.
I do have a point, which is frequently it is better to work from where you are at, rather than trying to start over from some idealized starting point, which is the nonsense that you seem to be spouting.
Jeebus-fick you can be such a twat some times.
Hm? for some reason you have a knack for identifying twats, now?
You would be hilarious if you weren't so often engaging in disingenuine arguments.
I don't want to "imagine." Makes me feel disconnected.
