Sweden a communist state? No. Not even China is communist anymore. It's a one-party(kind of) state of liberal-conservative-socialism.

I think its just that a LOT of swedish people are gamers, I played a EU community game before and a lot of polands, germans and scandinavians were on. Like pirate bay and all that stuff is sweden, theres just a really big community of pc gamers. Like china kinda where theres a lot of "internet addicted" kids etc

Rockefeller is right in the middle however.

Then you've got the real kicker.... Both Republican and Democratic biased polling companies seem to put Democrats more against videogames.

That said, it's not like Republicans don't do it too... just to a lesser degree.  The new tax bill for example hurt videogame companies by cutting them out of a tax break for example.  Though said bill takes from both what republicans and democrats have proposed.

So that very well could be a democratic proposal.  (And considering republicans ideas on ending tax breaks.  That seems likely.)

Also, Republicans can also blame violent videogames and culture for violence.  Though they are less likely to call for bans/regualtion.

Also. Yeah i'm sure video games do hurt peoples learning.

Especially if your spending 3 hours a day doing it. Video games productivity wise are a waste of time.

So what. It's not anybodies right to tell people they can't do it, people should be allowed to enjoy what they want to enjoy.

People aren't drones built to only to engage in productive avenues.

I can beat that easy, only 47% of members of the second largest political party in the U.S. believe in evolution.

yeah, lets blame video games and not the teachers

Read my post. Never did I say it was communist because of socialism. I said because of laws like on homeschooling in the country. The laws seem very much like Stalin. Next time read my post careful instead of reading between the lines.

And I'm telling you that your research is wrong. You said it was, and I quote; "Very communist based", which just isn't true. I also think I've adressed the school issue in another post in this very thread. The laws here is nothing at all like those in Stalin's Soviet. I just assumed you got socialism and communism mixed up, but you clearly think you know the difference between the two, which leads me to believe you've done very poor research on Sweden, or that you didn't quite understand what you read. Either way, I would have kinda prefered if you mixed up socialism and communism; that'd be more forgiving.

EDIT: But lets not derail this thread any further

I guess you could say all entertainment is like that. But let people decide for themselves. We all need some leisure time, we aren't robots

"Legal status of homeschooling: A new education act came into effect July 1, 2011 that has effectively banned homeschooling. Homeschooling is only allowed with the permission of municipal (kommun) authorities in “exceptional circumstances.” Families who had been home educating successfully for many years prior to 2011 were suddenly denied permission and threatened with the social authorities and fines of up to 20,000 euros per child and year. This has led to Swedish home educators fleeing Sweden to other nearby countries where home education is permitted."

Hslda has been around for over 20 years and is respected nonprofit organization that looks into countries homeschooling practices.

Now I don't know about you but forcing child to only learn by the public state and not letting the parenets have the ability to teach there child sounds like nanny state. Where the state wants complete control of your child teaching and to even charge parents a huge fine if they want to. Parents are afraid to homeschool there children in fear that the government will punish them. Does that sound like stalin state school policy?

Parents Fight To Regain Custody of Homeschooled Son

"But the people who took him weren't kidnappers or terrorists -- they were Swedish police officers operating under orders from social service agencies. And social services ordered them to seize the boy—not to prevent him from being physically or sexually abused—but for being homeschooled. At least, that's the official reason they gave when they grabbed him and hauled him off the plane."

Not communist here. It's normal to take people children away for homeschooling. 

Funny how you told me I'm wrong with no argument or proof only "oh you did bad research." Based on an assertion.

I have more on the country and there very much a problem in sweden when it comes to laws that are very undemocractic. You can deny it but the facts are out there.

By the way the topic is on topic because it's talking more unlawful laws by Sweden.
