Do I have to say it ?

Good news.
Do I have to say it ?
If you want to bring back 2 out of 3, it's OK by me.
Good. I married someone who was born in Sweden.
Did I mention he's very cute and blonde and blue eyed too? Swedes are very very very good looking people.
"Good news."
I agree.
I feel Sweden is a country which deserves a good government.
Greetings to Florida from Sweden!
Been to Florida by the way. I have seldom met such nice and friendly people as I did in that magnificent part of the US.
Best of regards!
Prove it!
I get your point, but is the situation really all that bad today?
Swedish soldiers accomplished a lot in Congo back in the 1960's, but from what I have understood, Swedish soldiers have also performed well in, for instance, Kosovo and Afghanistan.
Since 1950, we've sent around 80 000 soldiers on peace keeping missions (The population of Sweden, today, is 9.1 millions)
Furthermore, we kind of supply the US with A LOT of useful military gear.
Sold you 300 000 Swedish "Carl Gustav" recoiless rifles and rocket launchers up till now...
Yes, we have certain PC politicians who say stupid things about the US, but we aren't exactly your worst of enemies.
"I sure don't give a damn what the Europeans think."
No, why would you?
The best way of safeguarding civilization is that of promoting endless quarreling and mud throwing between Europe and America.
"Good. I married someone who was born in Sweden.
Did I mention he's very cute and blonde and blue eyed too? Swedes are very very very good looking people."
Nice to hear that.
Personally, I think the best looking Swede is the Swedish chef of the Muppet Show.
Seriously, I hope your marriage will continue to be a happy one and that you'll find it in your heart to forgive your Swedish husband if he, once in a blue moon, has a drink of Absolut Vodka and thereafter embarks upon a viking voyage of raiding and looting.
You mean Sweden keeps its top credit rating, which we've had since well before the right bloc took power.

Sweden used to have a much poorer rating. Around 1994-1995, Swedish economy was in a, comparatively speaking, poor state.
Today it is blossoming and the Conservative government of Reinfeldt has received a lot of praise from all kind of institutions and experts in the fields of economy.
The swedes are wannabe vikings. Norwegians are teh real butt-kickers on the seas!
Rock on Norwegia! :)
Yes, we had a really bad rating in 94, right after the post-80s crash (which coincidentially happened during the last right-wing government of Sweden). Then after 12 years of Social Democratic government, Sweden had the highest rating. Look, I'm sure the new government will do some good, but giving them credit for this is down right silly.
That's interesting. You don't even realize that you and the "Eurotrash" who aggravate you so are flip-sides of the same coin.

Read some history!
Swedish Vikings colonized RUSSIA and the UKRAINE. Not exactly what I'd call small countries.
Furthermore, let's have a look at what Swedes did later on.
Did Denmark or Norway ever lay siege to GERMANY for 15 years during the 17th century?
Which country brought down an alliance consisting of Denmark, Poland and Russia to its knees (even though Russia won a phyrrus victory at Poltava)?
It wasn't Norway.
Wow, who pissed in your meuslix this morning?
Do you have a cranky attitude every day, or only the days you post on FR?
