If there are any Freepers that live or are familiar with life in Sweden, I would be interested to know their reaction to this report.
I’ve spent a good deal of time there. It is a remarkable country with remarkable people. What makes it work is a rock solid protestant work ethic culture. Two brief examples:
Walking down the main street in one of Sweden’s largest cities. Restaurants everywhere. People park their baby buggies (with babies in the) on the sidewalk outside the restaurant and then go in and dine. Why? Because their babies are safe.
The buses are honor system. They don’t check whether people swipe their passes when they get on. I have never seen anyone get on a bus in Sweden without dutifully swiping their pass.
If I were to live outside the US, it would be in Sweden.
It’s been a few years since I was there. I understand the Malmo problem. I hope they have not ruined a great nation and a great people.
There used to be a Swede here posting under the name of WesternCulture...but I guess he got tired of the constant Sweden bashing and left. At least I haven’t seen any posts from him for a few years now. You could look up his older comments.
