Why do Americans drive around in Fred Flintstone vehicles and what's the underlying problem behind the vast majority of Brits buying Fords and Vauxhalls year after year? Why does your tap water taste like sh*t and why don't Italians tear down buildings that no longer are in use?
What's the idea of building a house out of cardboard?
Denmark has the highest wages on Earth. Norway can compete. OK. But why is it that every time I visit our dear western neighbors I feel sorry for people driving wrecks instead of Volvo V70s?
Is the V70 a far too sophisticated vehicle for your marijuana-inflicted brains?
Get a grip.
Grow up.
You have a nation to run.
Please visit Sweden once in your lifetime and study how civilized people live and work.
In case you're healthy and normally furnished in the brain department there's no reason why you should not drive a nice Volvo/BMW/M-B/Audi/SAAB/Cadillac and own a nice home.
Feel free to criticise me.
Volvo = "I Roll" in Swedish.
If you've ever been behind one in a corner, you'll realize it's fact.
Go back over "Western Culture's" posting history and you'll see this type of post is a regular Friday night deal. He/she/it likes to tweak us because, as a Swede, he/she/it is SO much better off than we are.
He/she/it has admitted to posting while drunk in the past and although he/she/it denies it tonight - well, you decide.
Doesn’t Ford own Volvo?
In a perfect world everyone would drive Mercedes Benz and have eggs for breakfast.
Sweets for my Swedes, Sugar for my honey
Volvo? Weren't those overpriced elitist mobiles built for self important Yuppies back in the 80s? Do they make anything that could pull a 35 Foot 5th Wheel Toy Hauler?
I guess I'll have to stick with a Cummings Diesel 1 Ton. Don't drive too slow if you see me behind you. I might have to run over your little Volvo.
You have no understanding of this country. You're trying to compare a multicultural country of 300 million people with small homogeneous country of just 9 million. Our economic systems are very different. We don't tax our citizens like Sweden does to support a welfare state, nor do we want to. We're the only country left in the world that can stop the totalitarians who would separate you from what's left of your freedom.
You can try and compare our countries like you have here but, like you, it makes absolutely no sense. Unless you're high.
Yep
So even when you're sober you're just not that bright!?!
Deer or feral hogs.... maybe a rifle is appropriate. But most of what I've eaten in the last 2 months has come from the blade of a 4" Japanese folded steel paring knife. Firearms are for emergencies.

Well, if he works for Volvo, he’s in Trollhatten.
Oddly apropos.
I Rebuilt a 74’ pinto in the mud. It cost my mom 600 bucks. I will never forget it. It was the cost to having a car that would go somewhere.
That's how AMERICA rolls, beyotch.

Because Americans generally don’t travel abroad, they have an extremely difficult time imagining that folks in other countries are productive, content, and sophisticated. They refuse to believe that there is a single aspect of a foreign existence that is not is every way inferior to life in the United States. It is very unfortunate - Americans could learn a great deal about lifestyle from other nations - but they won’t. It’s too bad...
Do YOU own a summer house?
Do you live in a house or an apartment and what is the size of your domicile? Dollars to donuts, whatever size your abode is, it could be plunked into my house and not be noticed. And the same could be said, no doubt, re your friends homes.
FYI..........I don't know of anyone who: 1) drives a wreck 2) lives in anything but a spacious, lovely home 3) lives in an crime ridden neighborhood 4) has only 1 or 2 T.V.s 5) hasn't been on lovely holidays, in America ( this nation has far more to offer than yours does ! ), as well as in other nations
And FYI..........posting drunk, or even when slightly inebriated is extremely stupid !
Oh and FYI............I have NEVER smoked pot, nor taken any illegal substance.
Sweden's taxes are obscene, you have a bloated welfare state, your illegitimate birth rate is much higher than the USA's ( as a total, not amongst various different racial components ), and your Muslim problem is pretty bad.
And to top it all off, you posted this in the wrong place! Your wee rant is not wining you any friends here.
What exactly is the point of this post? Are you attempting to commit freepicide?
I think you are. You just insulted some of the most fiercely patriotic Americans you could have chosen to pick a fight with.
Think I’ll watch you roast slowly. Ought to be fun.
Is the V70 a far too sophisticated vehicle for your marijuana-inflicted brains?
Get a grip. Grow up. You have a nation to run.
Please visit Sweden once in your lifetime and study how civilized people live and work.
If anyone is marijuana inflicted, your post would hint that you have been toking. This is one of the most bizarre posts I have read...What is your point?
BTW, isn’t Sweden a fairly socialist country? I thought they have huge issues with muslim immigrants.
Kick out the muzzies in Malmo and other places and we can talk.
