--Varg, he sounds a bit messed up. Over here in the states, we have people like that who do weird stuff, like fundamentalist Christians shooting and killing Abortion Clinic doctors.
Varg or "warg" in my understanding can also mean "werewolf" or big wolf.

"He considers Christianity a religion for southern races...He has been a satanist..."--something doesn't wash here. If you're a 'satanist,' then you believe in Crhistianity, right? There ain't no satan in the Norse pantheon. He's a totally Christian invention (well, I guess there are underworld gods, but they're not necessarily evil or anything)...So unless he's of a "Southern Race" (Australian? heehee) so, what's he doin' with a headful of satan?

"he burned some old Norwegian stave curches, 1000 years old, to the ground...He has written books and articles of Norse mythology and culture that are ... good enough to lead a discussion with professors....he is an example of a young intelligent man..."
--WELL, he can't be that intelligent. Here's the prob: The Stave churches are 1000 years old. 2002 minus 1000 = 1002C.E., placing these monuments squarely in the hands of Norse pagans. Christianity just claimed the sites later, knowing people would still come there out of habit or something.

So, what satanist Varg has managed to do is destroy ancient pagan relics and history (national monuments in Norway) in the name of the very mythology he claims to despise. I don't really think his actions speak of his 'intelligence.' Maybe he just talks well. Sounds like he's goin' for the top honor of Norwegian Charles Manson! :)

"cho has a practical purpose: it keeps blood from draining onto the handle" I dunno if I buy that. I guess it depends if you call grooves in a blade "fullers" or "blood grooves". I think that if you stab a khukuri into a wet sandbag, there's gonna be sand all over, regardless of open or closed cho. I cold be wrong here...

That's an understatement I think.

I must confess I don't understand this guy (does anyone?), but I think it goes like this: He started out as a satanist and later turned Norse. He was young in his satanist years, under 20, and went through a development in his world view like most of us can do in that age. Only this guy was a bit far out to begin with.

My earlier number 1000 years old was incorrect. A quick search on internet tells me the churches still remaining until present time are from 1100-1300 century, and they were erected by force by Christians on top of the holy ground of the remaining heathen Åsatruers. I think that's why Varg got pissed. Further as my search on internet tells me, there were some churches being built before 1100 but they were built in a different technique so they rottended away. And Christianity seems to have been present here a long time, the oldest Christian graves are from 900.

The strange and interesting thing is that Varg now, from jail, preaches preservation of Mother Earth and respect for nature. He even preaches a new culture where we return to farmlife and live in simple folkish ways. Ah, and of course, not to forget racial preservation and improvement, so that all races can live in peace and visit eachother to learn about eacheothers' respective cultures. The man is an interesting case. But why anyone would want to burn a church as beautiful and old as this is beyond my reckognition, this is the rebuilt church he burned at Fantoft:

Yeah, I guess everyone's got problems. I guess he found out that there are approved methods for bucking the system, and not following them has its consequences...

Thanks for the interesting details.

Thanks for the link Eik! Guess that Varg guy is messed up. If the guy is a satanist then the mayhem that he causes is what the devil wants. He is the master of chaos. The earth is not neccessarily a renewable resource. The current state is one of decay. The Lord promises a new earth and heaven in the book of revelation. But thats after Satan is gone for good. Guess thats not good news to the dark side. It is a shame that people have to do those kind of senseless acts. The recent bank robbery here in Nebraska is another example. Just shot up the place for no real reason. Tragic.
 
Ferous, you are obviously schooled, but do you really have three seperate bachelors degress in history or one with two minors or a Masters with...?

The only people I know with compounded degrees like that are usually thrown out of school after their professors complain they've taken all the courses...

The professors are jealous as they are actually professional students themselves. While I'm not a professor I am the son of a retired emeritus professor. Believe me I know. Saw it firsthand growing up.
 
is the case, Munk. Other major is Tech/Professional writing, and the minors with that degree were English and Linguistics and Spanish.

The History degree was Medieval studies, with general history minor. The Medieval Studies degree involves lots of lit, some history, and Old and Middle English (spoken and written).

Also have jsut unnder enuf creds in Geoscience for another major there...

What can I say. Hi-skoool and below was borinng, I really dug college tho. Junior high and high school is enough to make anyone not wanna learn, with their fixed ways and do as I say attitudes.

Keith
 
Keith, good deal. Agree wholeheartedly with your assesment of high school. At least with college the professors were a for the most part more than the draft dodging slime I remember putting up with in high school. I'm sorry if this offends anyone but thats the way I feel.
 
..takes all kinds..teacher in Jr High was a career marine who'd been burned severly. We called him Sarge. He was one of the best teachers in the school.

we had another teacher who'd throw fits, kick his speaker's stand out of the class and into the courtyard, where he'd beat it savagely. He was accused of looking up girls dresses and dismissed. I never knew if that was true. I was too busy looking up girl's dresses.

"On bokes and on learninge he it spente,

And bisily gan for the soules preye

Of hem that yaf him wherwith to scoleye.

Of studie took he most cure and most hede.

Noght o word spake he more than was nede,

And that was seyd in forme and reverence,

And short and quik, and ful of hy sentence.

Souninge in moral vertu was his speche,

And gladly wolde he lerne, and gladly teche"


The Clerk of Oxenford, Chaucer...sometime ago.


Generalizations are, most often, only generally true.

Didn't mean to sound too sour grapes about the teacher thing. As with any line of work there are losers! It is a shame when we have them teaching our children. I know there are many good ones too!
 
Personally, I don't count on that. Schools are strange political places today. Many of the finest teachers of yesteryear would not be allowed to teach today.



I've moved to a rural location in the States yet I can't get away from what affects all of us in this society.

I really hate to hear that!
One of the best schools I ever attended was in Montana at Bozeman Hot Springs, just outside of Bozeman itself.
It was a two roomed bulding with two outhouses, one for the boys and one for the girls.
I learned more in that little school than I did in larger more fancy places built of stone and brick.
One room had the 1st through the 8th grades and the other the 9th through the 12th.
When you got through with your work you were required to set quietly until the teacher came back to your grade.
Consequently you heard what was going on in grades higher than yours and some of it rubbed off.
If kids today had that kind of atmosphere to learn under they would be able to read and do simple math when they graduated from high school.

Probably should add that I went to school there back around 1947, second grade.
Sadly I can remember the time, but little of the innocence I had then. Of all the things I miss I think I miss that more than anything.
It's too bad that adults have to learn the things they do to survive in this world.:( :( :( :(
 
Munk, I say that there are still good teachers out there beacause I have met a few. But then it is perhaps only relative to what we have to compare to in this day. It is true the standard is different and that the bar has been lowered. The SAT for example has changed. We are told that this is to keep up with today's requirements but in fact it is to hide the failure of the schools today.
