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.
Perhaps you would be happier if you returned to Sweden.

Drunk again, I see...
What’s the frequency, Kenneth?
The cars you list are rather expensive, and not everyone here has as much money as you do ...
Yep, don’t like it here, go elsewhere.
IBTZ!
Your profile has some logic, but by accident or design I smell a ZOT comming.
Furthermore, why does anyone ever eat canned food, when they can go to a nice restaurant and have a good, freshly prepared dinner made to order for just a few hundred bucks? And why do people still have computers or TVs that are more than six months, or a year at most, old? Don’t they realize how rapidly technology goes obsolete? Furthermore, why doesn’t everyone have swimming pools? And horse stables? And polo courts? And their own private jet? I mean, we’re a civilized world now, aren’t we?
Feel free to criticize me..
We can’t. We don’t know what you’re on about.
Geez, another person telling me how I should spend my money and live my life. I only take this sh!t from my kids.
Didn't they legalize bestiality over there?
Still working for the Swedish Tourist Commission, I see. Great campaign slogan you've got there.

I may criticize if I could understand your point. Last time I checked, I haven’t seen any Flintstone’s cars on the road.
Uh... whut?
I'm not rich, but Swedish standards of living beats everything with the possible exception of how Lichtenstein bank executives enjoy life.
How many of your friends own summer houses?
No, he IS in Sweden now.
Check out American grocery stores. Compare and contrast to european grocery stores. We win. Hands down. Lots of it, and lots of variety. 40 brands, sizes and types of canned tomatoes alone. Stores measured in acres, not square feet.
Love ya, bud, but sometimes, you guys just need some sunshine. Snow makes you crazy.
