What's wrong with America?
11/09/2009 | WesternCulture

Posted on 11/08/2009 7:37:33 PM PST by WesternCulture

Seriously,

Why do America think it rules the Earth?

It does not.

My home country, Sweden, has 9 million inhabitants and we rule Europe, aka the largest economy on the planet.

Test me.

Does a Koenigsegg embarrass a Lamborghini or what..

China, the US as well as Germany are loosers in the game of industrial achievments compared to my "little" nation.

Why is it so hard for you to manufacture real world products?

Wait until Sweden finishes receiving the full “benefits” of its “diversity” and “multiculturalism” project, and then get back to us.

We do, Mister Volvo-driver. Our manufacturing sector is called “China”. /s

I find it hard to take anyone who spells “loser” as “looser” very seriously. Seriously.

The Swedes may make a hot car, but last I checked, they didn't rule Europe.

The best thing Sweden manufactures is fish. They're fun to chew.

But their #1 export seems to be ennui.

As for America, rhetoric to the contrary, we do seem to manufacture a thing or two.

You might enjoy some of our websites, like DU.

- Yes and it has stood up in a marvelous fashion against the Red Army too.

Sweden today is a free nation because of people like you.

Most humble, grateful etc.

Alternatively, get some sort of picture of the world before starting posting here.

Really? Got nukes? Got a history of being anything but neutral? You do have nice looking fighter planes and beautiful women, neither of which would keep your nation from being squashed by about 50 other countries if they decided that they had heard one too many ABBA songs.

Understand?

If America is the “evil empire” that so many one-worlders, Europeans, Gnome Chomsky-ites and Obots says it is, please answer me one question: Why didn’t the USA take over the world in 1945 when we had the power to do so? We had a monopoly on atomic weapons, the largest, most powerful fleet of warships in history, a vast number of military aeroplanes, a twelve million man army, and much more. it would have been child’s play to do so. Can you imagine Soviet Russia, Hitler’s Germany or any other world power foregoing that opportunity?

“the US as well as Germany are loosers..”

Seriously, what is a looser in Sweden? A gay man or maybe women hookers? Kids who have lost their marbles?

Is it maybe some form of currency?

- Swedish food is the sh*t.

I’ve travelled some in Italy and India, but nothing really compares to smoked “röding”.

One day, I’ll apologize for all of the lame things I’ve posted here, but I’ll never apologize for Scandinavian food!

That does it WesternCulture. You done hurt our feelings and we're going to have to invade. When we dig ol' Fredrik Reinfeldt out of his spider hole and put him in the dock, then you'll get the drift of Pax Americana.

Pffffffffft.

Yea, I know, and 9/11 was caused by the Jews. Face it, your country is turning into a hell-hole, much faster than the US.

But I still love Ikea.

BTW, I bought IKEA furniture cause it was cheap and I had little money. Put it together, looked nice, and when we lifted up the furniture to move it, it fell apart. Completely useless.

I don’t doubt your words a bit. I am half Norwegion myself. I heard that the Swedish army recently purchased 5000 German septic tanks... as soon as they figure out how to drive them... they are going to invade Norway.

Any predictions on how Sweden will do in the 2010 Winter Olympics? Last time in Torino you finished 6th with 14 medals 7 of which were gold. Better or worse this time around?
