Hi! New member here. Just wanted to see if there are any interesting questions about Sweden. I'll answer them all as best as I possibly can.
Feel free to do the pinging yourself. When you see or post a Sweden-related thread (by the way, try to post the entire article and not just the excerpt, unless FR rules require only an excerpt), you can notify the rest of us by using the Swedish Ping List. Here's how:
1) Copy and paste into the "To:" slot the updated list of the SPL members (see bottom of this message).
2) Copy and paste into the body of your post this little Swedish flag .gif and ping message:
Ping to the Swedish Ping List.
3) Type sweden in the Keywords section of that thread.
Here then is the latest Swedish Ping List to copy-and-paste, updated today:

My grandmother was a Swede and made horrible coffee. My mom says it’s a trait of all Swedes and could never understand why Folger’s Coffee had a Swede as their spokesperson back in the 70’s. What’s your opinion?
Funny thread ping...
So, once you get past the smell, you got it licked?
Thanks for your answer...and don't be put off by the wise guys on this thread. Free Republic prides itself on this and you must admit, some of the IKEA jokes are funny.
What does the word ‘bork’ have to do with Swedish cooking?
Since there will be no zot, I guess we'll need to hold the initiation.
I'll warm up the vat of custard while darksheare helps the wombats into their ceremonial armor.
Allegra, do you have any clean socks?
I stole that.
The white guy is beating up the black guy.
That’s racist!
My fav Gif..
Slainte.
This has been an interesting thread. Here’s the thread that WVNan mentioned...
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2448756/posts?page=5
There are some good quotes in it, like these...
“We need as many FReepers as possible because knowledge is strength and there is no better place to learn what is going on in our country and the world than right here!” - Freedom’sWorthIt
“Free Republic is the place to meet conservatives to share opinions and work toward restoring our nation to its Constiutional authority by working to elect conservative representatives to all government offices. Grassroots just like the Tea Parties! Welcome New Members! - onyx
“The moderators here do an excellent job. You’ll also find that if you make a mistake (and I have), you get some very helpful (not spiteful) private replies that guide you along. This is THE BEST place to LEARN ... everything worth knowing politically goes through this site.” -ThePatriotsFlag
“FR is a great place to get REAL information, many people here have a ton of knowledge to tap into. I think a lot of people here understand how Obama got all the media hyped on him and would gladly be of assistance to new people.” - Munz
“...I WELCOME those who are “coming out of the ice” - as in coming out of the brainwashing propaganda and thanks to FR and all the alternative media out there now - are seeing “the light” of truth about what is going on, what danger we are in, what solutions are out there for the problems we face, and what to do in these times to contribute to those solutions...” - Freedom’sWorthIt
Thank you deks.
How very sweet of you, deks. Thank you!
I hope The Swedish Guy has found FR much to his liking.
Very nice of you, The Swedish Guy, to introduce yourself by offering to answer questions about your country!!
Thanks, deks, for the ping to this very funny - and good - thread!
Thank you, Swedish guy, also for starting it!
Not sure I will be able to read it all tonight before I fall asleep - but will find a way to “plow on through it” eventually. (ref term is a Palin classic from Saturday night at Tea Party Nation event - though she was speaking of what to do when media hurl vileness at you and this thread is not vile at all....)
I do have some questions to ask you, SB - but will save them til after I read the thread....maybe they’ve all already been asked - and answered.
Welcome to Free Republic, by the way!
I am so glad I read your post! I forgot to welcome TSG.
It’s snowing here, so San Diego native is busy running in and out of the house taking pics...lol.
WELCOME TO FREE REPULBIC “The Swedish Guy” !!!!!
LOL - it’s snowing there??? Woohoo!!! Join the snow lovers club!!!
Glad you found this thread and added your welcome to Swedish guy!
YES! Actually snowing! Cars are covered. My lawns are white and my naked tree limbs are white and the shrubs are white. Very beautiful!!! I’ve turned on all the outdoor lighting so I can watch the snow flakes fall. LOL.
Wow - you must be in the deep south where this is an extremely rare occasion?
