Jasmin Tiusanen wondered how the immigrant family's boys had, in her opinion, nice bicycles and branded clothes, and the mother transported the youngest child in a stroller worth over 1,000 euros. She compared this to her Finnish working friend, who, according to Tiusanen, could not afford to buy a birthday cake. Tiusanen mentioned that she bought the cake and the refreshments herself. #elämäntavat (translated)

Elina Hiltunen wrote that for many, owning a car was a necessity because public transportation was either absent or did not meet the needs of residents in several municipalities. She estimated that even in large cities, a commute by public transport could take two hours one way, while traveling by car took 30 minutes. According to Hiltunen, such time management was particularly challenging for those with families. She reminded that life also existed outside of Ring III. #liikenne #julkinenliikenne #autoilu (translated)

Jari Sarasvuo wrote that in socialism, people's bills were paid with others' money, even though the benefits decreased and costs increased. According to him, the broad consequences of politics could be understood by observing cause-and-effect relationships without unreasonable reading or seeing the world. Sarasvuo mentioned that Marin's government paid large amounts of his family's electricity bills and said that it was not right. #sosialismi #politiikka #talous (translated)

Joakim Vigelius wrote that bringing the world's poor to Finland to become impoverished was both economically and humanely nonsensical. According to him, no single decision in 15 years had increased poverty in Finland as much as Marin's significant increase in student and family-based immigration in 2022. https://t.co/t3thBiOCZQ #köyhyys #maahanmuutto #Suomi (translated)

Petra Nyqvist criticized Wille Rydman's desire to abandon the maternity package. According to her, Rydman justified his stance by saying that in his family, they bought used, high-quality baby clothes. Nyqvist found the idea elitist and argued that it did not take into account all starting situations. Nyqvist wrote that the cardboard box bed was still necessary because some mothers started in situations where they had nothing. She added that sometimes young girls had been led into this situation without the child's father taking responsibility, describing it as grooming. According to Nyqvist, Rydman criticized the new Chinese ball, even though his own government wanted it. She believed that the acquisition method of Kela should be changed if it did not favor domestic products. Nyqvist defended the maternity package as a concept admired worldwide and stated that she wanted to participate in its funding through her taxes, even though she had no children. In her opinion, it would help young people cope with the challenges of baby life even when there was no support network. #äitiyspakkaus #vauvahuoltaja #perhe (translated)

Henri Vanhanen called for a halt to the issuance of Russian tourist visas to Europe and stated that he agreed on the matter with Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen. He justified his stance with both moral reasons and European security. According to Vanhanen, Russian sabotage and other hostile activities in Europe had increased, and Russia had adapted its methods following European countries expelling Russian intelligence officers and complicating the conditions for diplomatic cover operations. He wrote that intermediaries, criminals, and individuals disguised as ordinary tourists were being used in the operations. Vanhanen assessed that a tourist visa issued by one Schengen country allowed for extensive movement in Europe, and this opportunity was exploited to prepare hostile actions. He stated that Schengen countries had issued nearly half a million tourist visas to Russians last year, which he regarded as impossible to justify in the context of an ongoing offensive war for the fifth year. Vanhanen believed that humanitarian exceptions, family reasons, and the status of those fleeing persecution should be secured, but he distinguished regular leisure travel from these grounds. He urged Europe to end the opportunities it offered to Russia, which he claimed were being used against Europe. https://t.co/AZTRFAHrwP #Eurooppa #Venäjä #Turismi (translated)

Something is going to happen. U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin said in September, according to Reuters, that "something is going to happen" in the investigation regarding Omar's family's arrival in the United States. "If we can prove that you should not have been here in the first place, we will deport you," Mullin told conservative podcast host Benny Johnson, according to Reuters. #IlhanOmar #Yhdysvallat #politiikka (translated)

Jussi Halme wrote that a youth researcher considered it acceptable for 13- and 23-year-olds to attend the same disco because in Southern Europe, it is common to go to a restaurant with one's parents. However, according to Halme, having a family dinner with parents was a different matter than putting a seventh grader in the same disco with adults. https://t.co/lYEnX54W3m #nuorisotutkimus #diskot #perhesuhteet (translated)

Jari Mäkäräinen criticized Sanna Ukkola's writing about the Prime Minister's meeting with Imam Sharmarke Said Aw-Mussen. According to Mäkäräinen, Ukkola regarded the meeting as ordinary work and believed that the imam, who was born in Turku, was being asked impossible questions regarding Sharia. Mäkäräinen argued that asking the imam was not a misunderstanding: in his view, the imam left open whether Sharia would be applied in Finland in family or criminal law matters. Mäkäräinen wrote that, according to him, freedom of religion did not justify the establishment of a parallel legal system alongside Finnish laws. He claimed that in Muslim-majority countries, freedom of religion, women's equality, and individual rights were not realized in liberal democracies due to Islamic doctrine and Sharia. He cited Lebanon as an example, where he believed the growth of the Muslim population and political organization undermined previous balance and led to civil war. In France, Sweden, Belgium, and Britain, he mentioned the visibility of parallel societies, honor-based violence, segregation of areas and schools, and pressure to accept practices related to Sharia. In Finland in the 2000s, Mäkäräinen claimed that groups with a Muslim background who had immigrated were connected to the overrepresentation of sexual offenses, unemployment, use of social security, and demands for their own rules. He believed that distinguishing criticism of Islam from calls for deportation did not make questions about Sharia suspect. According to Mäkäräinen, the primacy of the Finnish Constitution and criminal law should be clear in all matters, and Finland did not need to repeat the experiences of countries where the application of Sharia had been tried. https://t.co/bGpZ7VaTux #uskonnonvapaus #integratio #muslimit (translated)
