Thread: Swedish man gets benefits for Black Sabbath addiction

Oh this is too funny... Wait until the wingnuts see this...

Swedish man gets benefits for Black Sabbath addiction | The Register

A Swedish man is to receive sickness benefits for his addiction to heavy metal music.
The lifestyle of 42-year-old dishwasher Roger Tullgren from Hässleholm in southern Sweden has been classified as a disability by the Swedish Employment Service, which has agreed to pay part of Tullgren's salary, and his new boss has given him special dispensation to play loud music at work.

....

Many occupational psychologists in Sweden, however, are totally baffled by the decision. "If somebody has a gambling addiction, we don't send them down to the racetrack. We try to cure the addiction," deputy employment director Henrietta Stein for the Skåne region told The Local.

Sweden is not a socialistic country. Learn what socialism is and then tell me what Sweden is.
Just because you fling the word socialism around all the time doesn't mean you are correct. In this case, you are obvisously not.

I hope the question wasn't too hard for you. If Sweden is NOT socialist ... just what is it?

Interesting. They've done this for him - I think he must have been a valuable worker.

Well, why don't you research what it is?

Hint, it's a representative democracy with numerous political parties from the extreme right to the extreme left. It's highly capitalistic with a human face. It is more social democratic in it's core political fundament than anything else.

Check Riksdag - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia for info on the Swedish parliament and it's compositition to the constitution and a lot more.

Maybe I should move to Sweden
