“Conventional work is out of the question for me - both in terms of my conscience and on an intellectual level - as it seems objectionable with regard to both my personal well-being and the well-being of society as a whole. Emotionally too it creates unbearable pain and dejection,” he wrote.
- He probably exhausted himself by writing this down and couldn’t sleep for several nights in a row due to worries over how this effort might have affected “the well-being of society as a whole”.

Soon to be tried in the USA.
Reducing or denying entitlements is a civil rights violation.

""Conventional work is out of the question for me - both in terms of my conscience and on an intellectual level - as it seems objectionable with regard to both my personal well-being and the well-being of society as a whole. Emotionally too it creates unbearable pain and dejection," he wrote." That sounds exactly like something a blue-blood, Nor'easter liberal (Jidahi Qerri and Swimmer Kennedy) would agree with.

I bet $50 he wins an appeal, if not the first one he will win one eventually.
Any takers?

Emotionally too it creates unbearable pain and dejection, This must be the new disability called "government sponsored mental collapse".

Perhaps this made sense in Swedish and translated badly. This is just a horrible word-salad that makes no sense at all.

I read the original source article in Swedish - http://www.corren.se/archive/2007/8/2/jbb3af5m4pru0rw.xml - and found some other fascinating statements that the couple made;
To begin with, they claim to suffer from “a divergent personality structure”.
Furthermore, the man writes that he “lacks the motivation to participate in society’s hierarchy of status and sees no other option than remaining a member of the lowest section of the pyramid.”

- Believe me, the words of this couple makes no sense in Swedish either.

Yet again we see a demonstration of what happens when the do-gooders construct a ‘safety net’.
It is immediately seen as a hammock.

MAYBE, just maybe, these folks are “wreckers”, throwing a wrench into the nanny-state machinery.
