Originally posted by threaded View PostRather interestingly in the 'official' Danish history the first example of an integration problem was in 1735 when a Danish speaking priest was appointed to a Church on an island that is now part of Copenhagen where all the locals spoke Sallands (and little or no Danish). Lots of people in the area still have Dutch names and the accent is recognisably Dutch, well to my ears. They're all the descendants of an experiment in 1521 when King Christian II brought 45 farming families up from Holland to provide food to the court.

Threaded's ancestors
their football-field sized dining tableOf all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
