There are crappy places in Sweden, crappy people in Sweden, and crappy politicians in Sweden im sure of this because there are also crappy places, people, and politicians like that in the U.S.A. and all over the world for that matter.
Now do I have some nice wikipedia links to back that up? Nah but I dont think I need them. Now you guys can go on arguing (over what again I forgot) but just remember this is stupid.
Yeah this thread got a tad too serious for this forum. I quite enjoyed the fact that we could playfully poke fun at each other and our home countries like civilized people instead of things turning into the shit that happens pretty much all over the rest of the net.
So...
Everyone getting personal about their country and others and such...big old stupidheads who smell like butt.
Yeah, I went there.
And no, we are not meeting by the jungle gym after school (or by the swings).
I also do not have a wiki page to prove anyone here is a stupidhead or that they smell like butt.
Since when did Zebbe and Iron Lizard constitute as everybody? I think the rest of us have handled ourselves with good humour and witty and interesting conversation (especially me).
Can we just accept that France, Iraq and the collapse of the British Empire are responsible for all the world's ills and make peace? :)
They are still far above the general social programs any western country has, for example the USA with over 10% poor people.Quote:

I think they have it better here with roof over their heads and food in their stomages, than in your Iraq.Quote:
You are helping them at the expense of yourself. Plus moving to Sweden does not always mean refuge .Many of the things the refugees had fled from in the first are now in Sweden. It is not uncommon for victims to run into their torturers on the street. Rampant unemployment, abuse of women, and the slow strangling of your country does not help you or them. Get out more. Get your head out of the sand. bad things are going on their.
I don't care whatever reason a rapist has for raping his victim.Quote:
No. Their are nasty places here. But no one will call you a whore because you leave your house without a man or rape you because their culture says it ok
I would say any civilian death is the fault of the attacker in wars. When I talk about 9/11, I mean the Chilean one, where CIA supported the coup de etat against the democratic elected socialist.Quote:
Please do tell dear Sebastian how is Bosnia our fault. And 911 come one now your just talking out your ass. I can give you a list of what we have done. It is bad but at least get facts straight
What about the people being tortured at Guantanamo Base? If Bush was captured, the innocent released, would you be happy?Quote:
I saw what I saw. If it makes you angry the very people who were tortured by a brutal dictator were happy about his capture then I don't know what to say.
Yes, and your country is bigger than Sweden. Sweden spends more of its budget on helping third world countries and taking refugees than USA.Quote:
We have 37.5 immigrants living in this country. Thats more then 4 times the population of Sweden.
AFAIK, USA still hands over loads of $$$ to Israel so they can build new Berlin walls, put innocent people to jail, kill stone throwing children that they think are terrolists etc.Quote:
This is old news kid. I'll use your own "were talking about the democratic 2000's"
I know very well that Sweden is far from perfect, and I agree with a lot what you say, and even put arguments against my opinions. USA is a good on some things, bad on some things. So is Sweden.Quote:
I don't care how bad you think we are. I know this already. The only that makes me mad is you forget that are far from perfect yourself. So stop talking like like your a bunch of Angels. I saw this with my own eyes. I wouldn't bother with this nonsense if i hadn't.
You are absolutely right. I knew I would join an argument like this on Sega-16 sooner or later, and I knew it was a bad idea. Sorry if I got personal to you, I didn't mean to offend. I have nothing against Americans, just much of the foreign politics their government is doing.Quote:

I don't mean to be offensive zebbe, and I have praised the swedes, ye are a well run progressive nation. Ye do tend to have a vain/shallow streak however... which is inherent in Countries like Poland aswell. From what I gather that is, if you have contravening evidence you're welcome to change my opinion...
Why do I feel like I have to apologize for starting this topic?
Curiosity got the better of me :(
Third time's lucky, as they say. :pQuote:

108 Stars, please fill your invading airships with helium this time around.
No problem, dude. I don't think any further argueing will make us any more friends, so let's just end it here and be happy that we both agree to what I just said.Quote:
