Site Moderator Reader1810 Posted August 31, 2015 Site Moderator Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Tim The video clip of the train boat was really interesting. I'm posting it here for the rest of "the class" so they can learn about it too. Before the bridge over the great belt (Storebælt) was built, we had train ferries there too. You might wanna watch this: as you get to the end of the video, you'll see the trains drive off the ferry. 1810 Edited August 31, 2015 by Reader1810 3 Link to comment

Timothy M. Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 This has nothing to do with a new chapter, sorry. But for those who remember Russ and Jacob meeting a group of young immigrants / descendants being openly anti-gay, I just want to share a few of the results from a recent survey amongst LBGT in Denmark. Not surprisingly non-European LGBT have a harder time than Danish LGBT when it comes to acceptance, both of themselves and from their surroundings. But what is interesting is that the lack of acceptance from their surroundings is mainly related to religion and to the concept of family honor. Thus the more religious their background was, the more problems with LGBT tolerance, and this got worse if they came from a culture with strong tradition for control to uphold honor. Because Islam was the main religion in the survey, it was easiest to say something about this, and even mongst fairly non-religious Moslems homosexuality was considered a sin and something which should be kept hidden from the family. Interestingly, the percentage of immigrants who were generally tolerant of LGBT was more similar to Europe than to the countries they came from. But there was still 20% who thought society should not accept homosexuality, and 24% thought sex between two men and two women should be illegal /forbidden. In comparison, 3% of the Danish population in general shares the latter opinion. There were lots of other interesting statistics, eg that 82% of Danish LGBT said religion did not affect their families' views of LGBT, but only 31% of immigrant/decendant LGBT said the same. And sadly there was no improved tolerance amongst descendants. One of the conclusions was that changing the attitudes and beliefs amongst strongly religious groups, particularly Moslems, was the main way to increase tolerance towards LGBT in Denmark. If you can read Danish, you might want to have a look at the report. 2 Link to comment

Plus, I hope the next chapter we meet Christian I'll be saying "Aw!!!" when he moons over Kristin Edited October 16, 2015 by Drew Espinosa 1 Link to comment
Timothy M. Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Plus, I hope the next chapter we meet Christian I'll be saying "Aw!!!" when he moons over Kristin Ehm, no that won't be until chapter 14 or 15. Anyway, my inspiration ran out after reaching 7,000 words. Better a short chapter than no chapter, right? 1 Link to comment
Headstall Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Ehm, no that won't be until chapter 14 or 15. Anyway, my inspiration ran out after reaching 7,000 words. Better a short chapter than no chapter, right? 7000 words is not a short chapter... Link to comment
Timothy M. Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 7000 words is not a short chapter... lol, I guess not, but apart from the very short ch. 12, only ch. 10 is around 7,000 words. It's just I was visualising a lot more happening, but I suddenly got to the perfect place to stop, and at the same time I ran out of inspiration. Link to comment
Drew Espinosa Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Ehm, no that won't be until chapter 14 or 15. Thanks for the clarification Tim Link to comment
