It's nice to see you again Ceeboo
I think that the antimormon catholic apologetic site is missing you. Maybe you can read some of the antimormon literature your favorite site prints and use it here. Give my regards to your friends there, you know the old crowd. I also see many Mormons are being banned there again. Too bad but understandable. We can't have too many Mormons defending their faith from the antimormon catholics.
Yep all the anti-Catholic Mormons get banned, like you.

Finland was under Swedish control for hundreds of years. And this creates quite a difference when a former oppressed country must learn the language of their former oppressor. Now there is a movement in finland to do away with the compulsory learning of swedish and the The Finns Party gained much support because of their stance on compulsory swedish. They want to eliminate it.
No comparison with the learning of french in canada.

I think that Norway also needs some old fashioned LDS family values also, and if more norwegians would live the word of wisdom, Norway would be a healthier place to live but a nice place to raise children.
From what I've read, Norway has one of the most (if not THE most) developmentally appropriate government sponsored programs for parents of young children on the planet.

You would be correct. In a recent UNICEF report which ranked countries according the their merits on child upbringing (safety, education, moral values, nutrition etc) Scandinavian countries ranked very highly. I do believe Norway was very near if not at the top. Unsurprisingly, the home of Mormonism ranked near the bottom.

Morality is doing what is right, regardless of what you are told. Religion is doing what you are told, regardless of what is right.

Yes, I know what I read. This is the kind of thing I research in real life. Anyway, here's a link to a 2007 article on Norway parenting leave. In this article, it mentions a UNICEF study on child well being that placed Norway in 7th place and the US in 20th place.
Perhaps there are more current studies and/or reports. This is the first hit that came up on my search.

Perhaps why me has a more recent study that shows a correlation between Mormon population density and child rebellion...

Can someone, anyone, perhaps even an LDS fan, explain how a religion that conditions a womens salvation to being tied to a man, can possibly be attractive to any woman with a brain?

Finland was ranked quite high by newsweek. But when one looks at the research of social workers and sociologists in that country one sees that social ills are immense. I have often mentioned this to finnish researchers and they also shake their heads because they do not understand just how outside agencies don't notice the ills that they research. I have posted one such problem on this thread, the same with Norway. One must be a social scientist within the perspective country to notice the ills and report the results.
There seems to be a collective, willful national blindness regarding Norway’s alcohol abuse problem. Even its medical experts seem to be largely in the dark. Dr Ole Johan Hoyberg, formerly a hospital-based psychiatrist in Aalesund, told newspaper Sunnmørsposten: “There’s a great deal more drunkenness in the communities that I got an insight about as a hospital doctor. Alcohol abuse is on the point of becoming a national sickness.”
Which seems an odd state of affairs indeed for a nation that’s billed as the world’s best place to live.
The horses mouth is always better. But can our norwegian friend be a little blind?
