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?
“(poor your country)”.
Poor some more wine. Or maybe whine. Let go of the meatballs?
“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’ve had better luck with Ikea
“China, the US as well as Germany are loosers in the game of industrial achievments compared to my “little” nation.”
- Loosers?
You don’t say.
Now you knew you would set off a flurry of responses didn't you? Actually, we would welcome you if you are inclined toward LIBERTY. But you can't even spell correctly so I seriously doubt that you could successfully get a passport or buy a ticket to our Country.
Any more brilliant questions?
A Swede was building himself a house. One of his friends came by and asked why the heck he threw away every other nail? “They have the nail-head in the wrong end”, the man replied. His friend became furious with him and shouted, “How stupid can you get? Don’t you realize that those nails were made to be used on the other side of the house???”
Ikea is fantastic. If someone buys something there that falls apart, well, then that person probably has a habit of buying stuff that falls apart.
The ironic thing about this is that most of Ikea's furniture is made in China.
Maybe the Swedes get the good stuff but we get Chinese Ikea.
I wonder what Ikea means in Mandarin.
“But you can’t even spell correctly”
I didn’t do so well myself. Darn it.
Most, huh? Not at the Ikea in Schaumburg, Illinois. Where do you shop?
Most Swedes are PC morons.
However, we have three successful car manufacturing industries, know ice hockey (a pretty dangerous game) and have beaten Russia in a real war (1795 they were very much ridiculed).
Germany and you Americans have not.
Stalin saluted, even bowed down to Finland, a former part of Sweden..
I love America, mean it, but America isn’t top dog anymore.
America and Europe should try and forget the conflicts between France and GWB.
We can’t afford silly bashisng. Okay, it’s fun and we both are cocky, aren’t we,
but we’ve got a planet to run.
Cheer up, you have only 9 other countries to surpass before you exceed Mexico in GDP.
Well you’re American........lol I excuse that alot quicker than some Europeon elitist (if in fact this is a valid post)
Hell I ain’t got no good english when called for... :)
Why is it you Swedes can’t produce a legitimate child? How many Swedes have the courage to get married—10 percent? Twelve percent? Is it even that high? What is it?—ninety-five percent of Swedish children are bastards?
When you can maintain a society that isn’t dissolving into chaos, come and lecture the rest of the world.
“bashisng”
Alternative spelling:
“bashing”
Here in CT. Every box of furniture I've brought home from Ikea says "Made in China". Even the stuff my wife bought.
I’m going to have to stop by mine and check. I haven’t been there for a couple months.
That would come as news to Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, France, and just about every other country with a standard of living that is above the world average. They've all got economic illegal immigration problems.
We just make ours worse than those countries do by not bothering to secure our southern border in any meaningful way.
Aren’t Volvos made in Brasil? How about Ikea? Keeping Swedes too busy building th Asplubndbdjdguiassut bookshelf to ever rule the world.
