“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.

Has Sweden contributed anything to the world in the last 1000 years?

An important point, there. Pretty much all of Europe is in a demographic death-spiral. Fertility rates are in the toilet. That 1.67 rate is "children per woman", and what means is that on average, couples aren't managing to replace themselves. So... every generation of Swedes is smaller than the one before. But among the Muslim immigrant population, the fertility rate is over 4. This is from Malmo, to Berlin, to Amsterdam, to Paris, to... whatever.

The math there, is not happy math.

Some of the worst-off places (Germany I think, among them) have a fertility rate of 1.1 or 1.2... and so far, no civilization has ever recovered from a fertility rate lower than 1.4.

Cheerio... :-)

I'd volunteer to help, but my wife won't let me.

They need a good dose of Christianity to start breeding again: nihilism makes you want to have recreational sex, not families.

Cheers!
