As a comment to
clawbug's post on the tearing down of Ungdomshuset, I wrote this. And since I don't feel like wasting any more time on the subject, I'll just post this here and let that be the end of this for now.
"I stick to what I have always said - the house is not what matters, the values are what matters. The people, the traditions, the culture. The house had become a defunct lavatory of what it used to be, and it's meaning wittled down to anarchic purges of ill-contented fury.
It's sad that it had to be torn down, but it had to go. Not because I really loathe and despise the idiots that had anything to do with anything any of these past days, but because the house was a shell of what it once had been, and in order to remove once and for all the temptation, it had to go. The young should get a house: legally, contractually and for themselves. But then it should also be a house for all youth.
And there are people more than willing to provide one for them, and people more than willing to give the money for one. Let us start afresh - no more "forkælede autonomer" and no more "retarderede politikere". Both sides are getting a chance to start afresh.
So lets move on...?
*note: Sorry for the rant and all. But I hated being a prisoner in my own town. And maybe I just have a hard time understanding why people who have so much complain about having nothing. Maybe that's just because I come from a place where having nothing and no where to go literally means just that."
