    Sweden:

    First schools in 1200.
    First Uni in Uppsala 1477.
    Compulsory education to the lower classes in form of oral education by the priest about the bible and two prayers was from 1400.
    First secondary level education in 1623. Compulsory reading abilities by all classes from 1723
    Then compulsory formal 4 years school education by all by 1842.
    By 1858 they changed the first 2 years of the formal school to compulsory primary education focusing on basic reading abilites when it turned out many could still not read.




  • That would be comparable with asking someone who smokes weed a couple of times a year to quit cold turkey.

    Of course it’s not going to make any difference to you if you stop taking sugar or not.

    However ask someone who “needs” to have that redbull every day. Who drinks sugary lattes, eats sweetened bread and so on.

    Ask them to quit and they will most likely experience withdrawal symptoms and have a really hard time to keep away from sugar.





  • No. All bugs are scary and vomit inducing. And those fuckers are definitely worthy of the title “sea bug”.

    Spiders are strangely enough kind of okay as long as they are hairy. Spiders without wigs are scary.

    Shellfish of all kinds are scary and vomit inducing unless they are cooked and the meat is served without the shells.

    I have been brave enough to actually try to work with my phobia by stopping and looking in the seafood section at the store. Some times if I’m brave enough I will try to touch a crab if it’s packaged.



  • Entomophobia, arachnophobia and ostraconophobia.

    So bugs, spiders and seabugs.

    The seafood with shells is the worst one but it has gotten better. I didn’t even know I had it since I haven’t really been exposed to seafood with the shells on until I was at a dinner party and they came out with shrimp cocktails with unshelled shrimp hanging off the sides. I got so anxious and sick at the sight of it I had to excuse myself to go to the bathroom and throw up. Now I can almost manage to sit next to someone who has unshelled shrimps. But lobsters and such served in the shell with legs and shit makes me sick.

    However.

    My phobia is a bit special because since I’ve had seafood without the shells before I saw them with the shells it doesn’t really affect my diet.

    One question that I have though is where does it end? The word blacklist from an etymology standpoint has got bothing to do with race. So where do we disregard the historical context of the meaning of words because people take it out of context and it makes them feel uneasy?

    I am not saying that I am against using blocklist instead of blacklist. I am just asking. Where does the history anfd usage behind the term supercede the out of context hurt feelings?
