Gymnastik på bom är en galen sport. Flyga runt hit och dit och försöka landa på en 10cm bred bom. Men på OS och liknande, där man vanligen ser sporten, där är det ju bara den yttersta eliten som tävlar och de har full kontroll på sin kropp och var de har bommen. Klippet nedan är första gången jag ser icke-proffs på bom, och jag måste säga att de är så mycket mer imponerande. I varje hopp de gör riskerar de att landa fel. De har dessutom publik och måste fortsätta direkt när de trillat av och göra sina halsöverhuvud-konster. De här flickorna från Gävle är 9-13 år gamla. Stäng av ljudet, watch and enjoy!
Finlandssvenska Linda Finell, 15 år, berättar om sitt liv som gymnast.

Sarkozy the nazi
I am quite upset today, so, well... I'll start off this whole blogg untraditionally angrily considering it being me.
I am just thinking about how very stupid Sarkozy is and that everyone who tolerates what he's doing should really think over how Hitler started his "carreer". Often we ask "how could that happen?" and "how could an entire nation accept it?". Of course H just did the same thing as Z do now: Talking to the emotions of the majority - "our culture is threatened" and "our safety is threatened".
No matter if a certain characteristic is distinctively more abundant in a specific group - you must never, NEVER judge or punish the whole group for that characteristic. Any kind of punishment must come after disorder. If disorder is expected, then preventive action - one that is not a punishment - shall take place instead. An action that not just prevents the presumed offender from being able to break the law, but makes her/him NOT WANTING TO and NOT NEEDING TO.
And even when a crime has actually been committed, however right it may be to expel the criminal, it can never be a valid reason "to be a criminal AND a gypsy" (as in this case). The reason is that you are criminal and the severity of your action is the base for decision. Period.
Shape up, Sarkozy!!

I fortsättningen kommer jag vanligtvis att skriva på svenska! Det råkade bara bli engelska idag.
