[Pastor Ezekiel]

The communist welfare state of Sweden has taken a few more steps away from God's love by providing professional goths the official status of "victim". THIS is another reason why God hates Sweden.

Man gets sick benefits for heavy metal addiction

A Swedish heavy metal fan has had his musical preferences officially classified as a disability. The results of a psychological analysis enable the metal lover to supplement his income with state benefits.

Roger Tullgren, 42, from Hässleholm in southern Sweden has just started working part time as a dishwasher at a local restaurant.

Because heavy metal dominates so many aspects of his life, the Employment Service has agreed to pay part of Tullgren's salary. His new boss meanwhile has given him a special dispensation to play loud music at work.

"I have been trying for ten years to get this classified as a handicap," Tullgren told The Local.

"I spoke to three psychologists and they finally agreed that I needed this to avoid being discriminated against."

Roger Tullgren first developed an interest in heavy metal when his older brother came home with a Black Sabbath album in 1971.

Since then little else has mattered for the 42-year-old, who has long black hair, a collection of tattoos and wears skull and crossbones jewelry.

The aging rocker claims to have attended almost three hundred shows last year, often skipping work in the process. Eventually his last employer tired of his absences and Tullgren was left jobless and reliant on welfare handouts.

But his sessions with the occupational psychologists led to a solution of sorts: Tullgren signed a piece of paper on which his heavy metal lifestyle was classified as a disability, an assessment that entitles him to a wage supplement from the job centre.

"I signed a form saying: 'Roger feels compelled to show his heavy metal style. This puts him in a difficult situation on the labour market. Therefore he needs extra financial help'. So now I can turn up at a job interview dressed in my normal clothes and just hand the interviewers this piece of paper," he said.

The manager at his new workplace allows him to go to concerts as long as he makes up for lost time at a later point. He is also allowed to dress as he likes and listen to heavy metal while washing up.

"But not too loud when there are guests," he said.

The Local spoke to an occupational psychologist in Stockholm, who admitted to being baffled by the decision.

"I think it's extremely strange. Unless there is an underlying diagnosis it is absolutely unbelievable that the job centre would pay pay out.

"If somebody has a gambling addiction, we don't send them down to the racetrack. We try to cure the addiction, not encourage it," he said.

Tullgren currently plays bass and guitar in two rock bands and says that he tends to get a lot of positive reactions for daring to be himself.

"Some might say that I should grow up and learn to listen to other types of music but I can't. Heavy metal is my lifestyle," he said.

All this Swedish meatball needs a Holy Ghost enema right up his rear end! Damned hippies!

For once, I partially agree with Zeke! Did the sun rise in the west this morning?
I love all sorts of music, and I am of the opinion that life goes better with a soundtrack, but there are times when I cannot have a radio/cd/mp3 player going, so those times, I simply hum softly to myself, or imagine music playing in my head.
I certainly don't expect to get paid for it, or to be allowed to blast it everywhere I happen to be.

You do happen to have a point. Being called disabled for liking music? If that's true, I ought to be rolling in cash by the millions!

I perform music in a christian center for the youth in my local town, I listen to almost everything! Except the things that offend me, i,e., rap, hip-hop, pop, and country music.

If That's not an addiction, and I forgot to say I always have music playing, then what is?

If addictions give you cash, most Christians are addicted to worship, no?
Why aren't they allowed to worship in public or something?
Why aren't they getting cash?

That's because Sweden's stupid.

That's one of the only things you've got right since turning up here. I mean, what kind of a wacky country has a publicly-funded healthcare system, anyway?

How is our Godly president GWB a "dictator"? Can you back that up in any way boy? Isn't that just what you liebral haters do? You call anyone that you disagree with a "dictator" or a "nazi", right? What a load of malarkey!

Jesus Himself hand-picked GWB to lead us against the islamofascists and protect our freedom. He has made sure that America has remained safe, even for God-hating imbeciles like you. Is THAT what you call a "dictator"?

Several things Zeke:

1. You call anyone you disagree with a "Joo" or a "Feminazi" so until you stop being hypocritical you don't have room to talk.
2. A dictator is anyone whom runs the entire collective by himself, regardless of being "good" or "evil".
3. I don't really have to prove it, since I believe it, just like you guys don't prove your beliefs other than saying you have faith in them.
4. I don't call people I don't agree with anything unless they warrant such a title. For example: I have never called you anything other than your name, a shortened version of, or your title as a Pastor, yet we disagree all the time.

All you've done here is throw sand in my face, with the exception of point #2, which obviously does not apply to GWB. He has to answer to congress, the supreme court, the voters, and ultimately to Jesus. America is not a collective, even though you Bolsheviks want it so.

Again I ask, does your school for special boys issue dictionaries? Do you even bother to look up the meanings of words before spewing your hatred?

And do you know about the basic rules of debate? If you make an assertion, it is your responsibility to back that up with factual proof. This proof cannot take the form of making vague claims that others have not made their case about unrelated issues, as you have done above. You stated that our president is a dictator. It is up to you to either prove that or apologize and withdraw the lie.

Once you apologize for your beliefs, I'll apologize for mine. That's my point here, I don't really believe he's a dictator, though I have suspicions he'd like to be if he could, but because of belief you can just claim any thing you want and have it be unchallenged because its your belief. Even if its not true, who is anyone to tell me otherwise and vice-versa.

This is not a question of belief you fool. It is a question of fact. You asserted that our President is a dictator. I asked you to prove your statement, you couldn't so you played word games and tried to distract to argument. Finally you lie by claiming that you never said what you in fact said. Pretty pathetic.

They're going to cut you down to size in college boy. Assuming you actually attend one. I still suspect that you are a 14 year old who likes to throw tantrums.

By the way, George W. Bush is the freely elected President of the United States of America, the most powerful nation on earth. He is the furthest thing from a dictator that there can be.

I hope you have learned your lesson here boy. Think before you speak. Don't label people "dictators" just because you disagree with their policies. Got it?

Haha. Zeke pulled a funnies

What I find ironic is how you assume Joo is a 14 year old, and yet he's got more calm in him than all of the Senior Pastors combined. Setting you guys off is as easy as adding fire to Napalm. All I have to do to get you guys to fly off the handle bars is say one word.

Oh yeah. And you know how you support the PATRIOT act? Guess how many petitions there are (with my name on them too) to get that act thrown out? What has your Department of Fags Facists Fruitloops Faith done about that?

George Bush is, by definition, a dictator. I look forward to the day he admits it though. Then civil war will follow. And when that day comes, I assure you. I'm catching the first plane I can find Freehold. Test the power of God, so to speak.

Although, perhaps you could help me out. I've scoured around, and the only place called "Freehold" I could find is apparently some kind of mental asylum...

[Shallow-izer (On Moderation)]

Kay, so that's a bit outrageous (but awesome.)

I mean, whe got disability for being a music fan. Just goes to prove he's in the wrong line of work. He SHOULD be a DJ at a club somewhere, or on the radio, where his taste in music can be better put to use.

^____^

Much to the gain of the listening audience.

Oh, he can call him what he wants. You call people you disagree with "Stupid, non-believers, idiots, retards, faggots, maggots, and other such names of insultation to the mind.."

You also beat, stone, and put in pain those who you disagree with.

Weird how karma comes and bites you, eh, Ezekiel?

Good gracious, I can scarcely believe my eyes. You have actually got something right for once. Essentially right, although the demonrats are socialists and would, given enough rope, take the country to communisim.

I come and am resident in a socialist/semi-communist country (New Zealand) and know first hand what damage free health care, social welfare and other pernicious socialistic polices do.

The demonrats must be opposed by all decent people, but the Lords will be done and he does move in mysterious ways. The election of Hitlery would, I believe, be a sure sign of the last days.

"Karma"? Unless Karma is the name of your pitbull, it's not going to bite anyone. There is no such thing as Karma, and nor has Pastor Zeke been bitten by anything. He is a Godly man, and not subject to injury from maggots, retards, and the like.
