Comments on: Being ‘Old-Fashioned’ http://www.vikingprincess.net/55/being-old-fashioned Old-fashioned Girl in a Post Modern, Hi-Tech World...

Sad to say, but your site seems broken on Firefox 2.0.0.2 on Windows XP (at least for me). Somehow it thinks that my browser is wider than it really is, and doesn't scale to the browser width. It also seems to banish my vertical scrollbar into oblivion (along with the end of the tabs) so it actually seems to mess the width of the window. Moving off your site (usually) seems to put things back to normal. Returning to it messes it up again. Using the Ctrl-minus key to shrink the font size seems to help too. Not sure when it started going wrong because I've been away a while. Email me if you want more info or me to do any diagnostic testing. Hi!

Och jag tror att det inte handlar om att sträva tillbaka, utan snarare sträva till nästa steg i utvecklingen. Pendeln slår alltid tillbaka. Men den färgas av varje tidsålder. Industrialiseringen VAR ett framsteg för människor. Men vår vana trogen äter vi för mycket innan vi inser att vi redan är mätta. Och bestämmer oss för att balansera vår kost igen. :-) <em>TRANSLATION BY CORDELIA: I completely share your view. And I do not think it is about going backwards but about striving towards the next step in evolution. The pendulum always swings back. But it is coloured by the era that it is in.

I probably would have left it in Swedish but I thought the comment was really good so I wanted to translate it so that everybody could read! Jag delar precis din syn.

In fact they are spot on. I often find my self thinking on how "it used to be" as well. The PC culture has made us generic in todays societys. I salute your independance and it warms my heart to hear of a native European thinking as you do...you cannot be alone. I say this because your whole blog strikes a cords in me and as I am an American who's country is being forced to adopt the very European ways your seem to reject as natural, I see hope. We over here are always talking of how it was just 10 or 20 years ago as our lives are consumed with work, Political corectness, taxes,political and Environmental issues. Mothers can no longer stay home and raise the kids and mind the house hold, nor are they to want to do that. Men are castrated while women are taught not to want or need us. Confidence is now arrogance, Strength is now violence potential, Striving for more is greed. Excellence and just about everything else we do is construed as racist. Its only 50 percent like that here though. There are still places and a good number (150 million) of people who think as you do and cherish everything good it can bring and enrich our lives. I believe thought such as your will be the thing that will be needed to keep our people from fading away. Family life is cumbersome today and hard to hold together. Marriages fail because people are selfish and are only living for the moment and not thinking of future generations. Your right, its okay to be different as sexes...because we are. I would want my wife to be a girl not more man then me. I like girly girls. This has nothing to do with equal rights. The above poster is right, the pendulum will swing back, hopefully sooner then later. I have pangs about America's changes and I can only imagine Europe which is in a far more advanced stage of this PC state sponsored medeocrity then we are. Traditional values will make us happier and less narcissistic. You could make some lucky guy a very happy camper in deed. Your a dream, warts and all.;) If I am preaching abit here remember I am an American and fellow Viking! Cut me some slack....or not. Hi Cordelia,

Thanks for stopping by and do come back. I think we are coming from the same perspective. It's such a relief to know that there are other people who think like me. Among my friends, with family and at work my thoughts on these matters are pretty much unacceptable. There are many reasons why I decided to set up a personal blog, but venting my feelings about modern society was one of them. Thanks also for the kind words of encouragement regarding dating. I think I will blog some about that topic soon. Keeping a blog is great for moral support! Hi Will - I loved your comment! Thanks for stopping by and do come back.

If you are then that makes me one too. I dont think I've ever met anyone who quite thinks like me. I've only read a fraction of what you have to say and already I have more in common with you than 98% of the population. I'm like you, a new age old fahioned person with old fashion morals and I'm a good person who thinks about others before myself. I'm sat in a world of people who I dont really like. No one trys to be nice these days and everyone is just interested in themselves. But what can be done? I think we're such a small proportion of people now that I'm really not sure what can be done. I'm not sure if I'll even hear from you but I would love to chat to you. It would make a most welcome change :) Here's to a hopefully brighter future! David You’re no freak!
