And you make Saabs and Volvos. Crazy high taxes pay for your schools and healthcare, but it is definitely NOT FREE!!!!!i96dansa wrote:Here in Sweden, women are always naked so that they can cuddle the polar bears that roam freely in our cities.
We're also big on making watches and cheese...no wait, that's Switzerland.
Our first language is probably American but some how we learn "Scandinavian" as well. It's totally weird!
Most people don't know we invented dynamite and adjustable spanners and made the first operational Pacemaker but we are famous for "The Swedish Bikini-team", which is not from Sweden and holds no Swedish members.
You have got to love cultural stereotypes.
However, this much is true. In general and relative Americans: We believe that violence is more dangerous than sex outside of marriage. We don't smoke pot. We do drink a lot of coffee and alcohol. We don't believe in god. We have 6 weeks of vacation per year. Universities are free of charge for everyone. We don't need health insurance because healthcare is free of charge. We pay really high taxes. We haven't mobilized our army since 1814. No city is bankrupt. Crime rates are low.

I thought the Swedes made porn, and got drunk on holidays because booze was so cheep in other countries? Or was this just in the late 80s and ear lie 90s? Come to think of it where do the Scandies go on holiday now, I used to meet them all over the world, but haven't seen one in years?i96dansa wrote:Here in Sweden, women are always naked so that they can cuddle the polar bears that roam freely in our cities.
