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.
You can keep your eurotrash.
And yes I own a nice house. Two of them.
Eff him.
We are Freaking America with the greatest flag on the planet and the most honorable and charitable people anywhere.
The Swedes, the Nord? Puhleeze! I can’t stand Rap music but we gave the world the gift.
I can’t even recall a famous person from Sweden or Norway. There are famous people from there, they are, however inconsequential.
Do the have the equivalent of Air Force 1? Air Force 2?
Who have they saved lately? In the last 100 years? No one, that’s who.
That job is Americas alone because we do it better than anyone. Except maybe the Israeli’s but we out number them and always appreciate their help.
I forget but what were the great steel and transpiration industries of Norway?
What is the name of their air force anyway? Icarus that’s their name.
And the general of their mighty Icarus air force? General Dodo Bird of the Chicken Hawk Squadron.
Funny, I don’t recall them sending their air force to bomb Libya.
Makes you wonder just how stupid the Vikings were, with women like that at home, to run off to England and rape ugly English broads.
By coincidence our Mexican illegal neighbors also have a 50” plasma TV.
Yeah, it’s 6:23 AM in Sweden right now. Europe doesn’t go to daylight saving time until March 27.
Volvo makes awful cars and Sweden sucks at hockey...

My grandfather and grandmother (mom’s side of family) both came from Sweden. He (grandpa) was an overseer on a Swedish baronial estate and ma was one of the peasant girls on the estate. They fell in love and decided to come to America because the Swedish caste system disaproved of such unions and would not have allowed them to marry. Grandpa came to the USA first and then brought grandma over about a year later.
Neither spoke a word of English, but they learned very fast and became citizens and Americans. They never forgot their Swedish origins, but they considered themselves Americans. They raised one son and three daughters. Of course, these were the old days before multiculturalism and being a hyphenated-something was all the rage.
My mother had a desire to go back to the old country in the late 1980s. She and my father went over. Remaining relatives showed them the old estate my grandfather ran, his hometown, were grandma was born and, of course, Stockholm. Two weeks was enough them and I joined them for a 10-day holiday in the UK.
Dad and mom have passed away now and I have never had a desire to visit Sweden. I figure that it and several other European countries will join the new Euro-Muslim caliphate before I die. (Fortunately, the backward Americans are 25 years behind the progressive Swedish dhimmis.)
Don’t pat yourself on the back too hard for your superior standard of living. The Muslim masters of your new caliphate will bring Sweden back to a 7th or 8th century Islamic backwater soon enough.
“All right. Get off your Pew. LOL”
Heck, I’m Pentecostal. We hardly ever sit down.
Why....you are Patton on steriods! L.M.A.O. @ that rant!
“Sorry I’m not driving this anywhere except in the good ol’ USA”
I think you get arrested if you drive a cool truck in Sweden.
LOL
Saw that and it’s right on.
ROTFL!
I know. I live in Oklahoma and jumped few pews while singing gospels.
I had to leave. Them people must have have great legs and perfect blood pressure.
Up, down, up, down. Up, raise your hands up to God . . . higher. Be seated..
I feel the spirit! Everyone up!
LOL
I’ll you they have the best fried chicken and greens after church though.
I had to go back to being a boring Baptist and go home for lunch.
Sundays are suppose to be a day of rest.
I mean this post lovingly and really enjoyed going to Pentecostal churches.
“WC, from my interactions with him is a good guy. He has a rather ‘unique’ sense of humor. He has also demonstrated a great affection and respect for the USA. I think this thread is just a bit of good natured leg-pulling...;”
He is a good guy. And he doesn’t mind if you get back in his face when he waves the blue and gold. I think also he’s maybe had a little too much, uhmmm, smoked salmon last night :)
Thank you.
The world is a better place because there is an America.
No country can, ever has or ever will be a beacon of hope and something to aspire to.
LOL
