You own SEVERAL TVs? Don’t they call those things “idiot boxes” and “boob tubes”?
You are aware that Sweden has a total fertility rate of only 1.67?
At that rate you native, snobby, Euro-peon Swedes will be completely replaced by the immigrating Muslim population in, oh, say 100 years.
I guess when you are too busy watching television the last thing you’ll want to do is have children get in the way of having your minds turned into Jello!
I agree. We Americans are a pretty brutish and uncultured lot. I think you ought to pack it in and join ol' Sven in his Socialist Utopia.
“Sweden does have one thing going for them. The women are BEAUTIFUL.”
Sweden’s total fertility rate is currently 1.67. Since they aren’t having enough children to replace themselves it’s silly to even contemplate their beauty when they won’t be around in 100 years.
I’d much rather visit the country across the border from you, Spain, or Italy on your Western border.
RE: “Don’t waste your time. He thinks a Volvo is a sophisticated vehicle. lol”
***************
I had a Volvo for a number of years — worst piece of junk I ever owned — and insanely expensive parts! No thanks —
Has Sweden contributed anything to the world in the last 1000 years?
Thanks for the Friday Funnies, chump.
Why don’t we all use Ikea to furnish our homes?
When was the last time Sweden fought and won a war besides against anything besides a Boy Scout Troop?
Yeah, that's what I thought. All bark and no bite.
An entire nation of pussies, unwilling...because they are unable.
If the V70 is your crowning achievement, and it may be, it's even sadder.
I would if I knew what the hell you were talking about instead ranting about overpriced boxy cars and yellow snow.
Well... my neighorhood is clean and there's no crime. I have two houses, one with a 54" plasma and another with a 42" plasma, both with surround systems. I have two cars (a Jeep Commander and a Mustang convertible). I've been abroad for holidays, but over here I can travel across seven time zones and from the Arctic to the tropics without a passport, and I have been to the boundaries of that map. What you call "countries" we call "states" or sometimes... "counties". I'm not "rich" either, but I'm not suffering. I love Sweden and swedes. And your bikini team. And Norway, as that's my heritage. But y'all haven't cornered the market on civilization, just yet. Sure... it was probably awesome back when places like Sweden had a mostly homogenous culture. But how's that muslim immigration thing going for yah?
Too much smugness in Sweden for me.....
Hal, we don’t have Sweden in our forecast, Asia is coming up fast. I have to supply the needed testing and since the Corp switched gears, I get more fun. (I am just a bit overwhelmed and have zero help)
Test drove a Volvo once. Was not impressed. They do makr great semis though.

Ole hears that Sven just bought a new truck, so he goes over to take a look at it. When he gets there, he sees dents all over the truck, and Sven sitting in the driveway behind the truck.
Ole says, “Sven, why did you buy a truck with dents?”
Sven says, “Oh, I made a real good deal. It got dented in a hailstorm, so the salesman gave me $50 off the price. And he said that all I have to do is blow on the tailpipe, and those dents will pop right out. But I’ve been sitting here blowing on this tailpipe for two hours now, and I don’t think it's working.
Ole says, “Sven, don’t be such a dummy! You have to close the windows first!”
“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.”
What’s funny is that Swedes have exactly the same conviction about Sweden. They travel more than Americans but are nevertheless utterly convinced of their superiority.
Of course, Americans can see a lot more and do a lot more without leaving America—that’s why we don’t travel to other countries as much. And we can see a much wider variety of culture here without leaving the country—Sweden is monoculture except for the Muslims. Compare and contrast: Rural Mississippi and Miami nightlife.
They were good pals with the Nazis till the Americans showed up, then they said they didn't like 'em so much, really.
Lol. Back in 1988 I spent a couple fairly lazy weeks in Stckholm, followed by the same amount of time in Copenhagen. At that point I was, errmm.. a union secretary. Not in the sense of taking notes.
Stockholm was nice, you could go walkabout by your lonesome all night if you wanted to and the streets were clean enough to eat from. Copenhagen was filthy, storefronts were massive lots of porn mixed with normal stores, and at night you had to be aware of roaming gangs of diverse folks latching onto you if you didn't have numbers.
Since then I suspect Sweden has lost a bit of the clean sheen (Malmø comes to mind), and that Denmark has gotten even worse. We're doing deportations hand over fist, but from what I hear the buggers keep coming back.
