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.

I’ll give you a hint, last November’s elections. That’s what’s wrong.

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

You make cuckoo clocks, right? Oh wait, that’s the Swiss. What is it that Sweden makes? Oh yeah... socialists.

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.

So far, Obamby legacy pending, this is the only country people ‘break-in’ to live well, instead of ‘breaking out’ as in ‘get me out of here’... so...

The food is great. Reindeer for dinner and pickled fish for breakfast. I love dining there. (series)

- 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.
