Poll: Thoughts on Sweden

[MrTub]

Whats not to like about Sweden?

Basshunter -.-

 

[Rutkowski]

Everyone's Blonde (Is there a single ethnic person in Sweden? I've never seen or heard of one)

About a third of all Swedes are first or second generation immigrants so yeah; we got quite a lot of ethnicity and it's pretty awesome(second generation immigrant from Germany myself).

Sweden is pretty awesome; I'm proud to live here. Too bad every single fucking politician in the parliament and to the right of the parliament parties are fucking retarded.

Oh, and the following groups can go and die:
Brats
Raggare/Rockabillys
"Patriots"
"Nationalists"
Skåningar/Scanians

Everyone else(except Hammarby supporters); we coo'!

 

[SilentStranger]

I'm just pissed that the comedic swedish stereotype always seems to be a mix up of German and Swiss culture. And german accents, ALWAYS GERMAN ACCENTS

I knew a girl online from Sweden and she was a sweetheart. Outside of that I don't know much but you seem like nice enough people so you get a Yes from me. The good thing about Sweden is you don't get much in the news about them good or bad so you can make judgements based off individual experience. I am sure if you asked a similar question about America or Japan you would get a much different view a bit more variance between the Yes and No column.

I did meet a few Swedish communists who were a-holes and overly thuggish and disrespectful of opposing view points but if I held the few dicks against every country I'd have to hate everybody.

Well I got inspired by "Thoughts on Britain" and was wondering what people know & think about the country Sweden and it's people.

I have never met every single person from Sweden. It's hard to judge this question. I'd imagine I'd like a good amount of them, but some I would not. Others I would feel indifferent to. This question on the other hand, I do not like for it is stupid and holds no discussion or true opinions.

Well apparently you're so smart that you missed the part when I asked if you like sweden (The country aswell aka the nature, landscape, weather and more) and also asked what they know about the country. Or maybe Im just so dumb that Im the only one that sees that?

I may have missed that part, but it quite clearly says:
'Do you like people from sweden?'
So maybe you want to edit that part. As for the country? Again, like any country, there's bits I like and bits I don't like. Ditto with the politics, ditto with the art, ditto with the culture. How can we give exact answers. As you can see, I dislike polls very very very much. You could have made a cool thread on Sweden but missed it with a poll choice.

Sweden is cool they are the home of truly awesome metal bands!

Plus I hear that the Swedish military is properly funded so they have a military with better equipment than the USA. Shame you don't see much Swedish equipment around, the Gripen and stealth boats.

Stealth boats are like ninja elephants in the middle of football fields. They try so hard, but they're still very easy to spot.

I think the landscapes there are quite beautiful, and the language really is a delight to my eyes. It seems like a pretty cool place.

 

[Chicago Ted]

Uh... They're cool I guess. I really don't have much of an opinion on them.

 

[firedfns13]

I heard from my friend who was an exchange student that the Swedish are really nice people; to your face. Apparently they're quite two faced and talk behind your back and whatnot.... also, ripped jeans make the host family look poor. And apparently he missed how grateful Americans are, I guess its because we habitually say thank you and you're welcome and stuff like that.

All in all though, I can't say anything since I've never met one.

Hooo yeah... It's probably easier to fund a military when you have such high taxes and expensive public transit/things the public use (4 hours sleep keeps me from remembering words) and also when your entire country's population can fit inside the greater Chicago area.

I'd like to spend a summer there

Van Wilder style

 

[SantoUno]

Soooo much good metal from Sweden: Opeth,Meshuggah,At The Gates,Entombed,Dissection,Necrophobic,Nasum,Edge of Sanity,Eucharist,Grave,In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, etc etc.

Secomnd this, apart from all the wonderful things I'm hearing from this thread the fact that some of the most awesome metal bands in the world come from Sweden makes me wanna visit that place someday so badly.

1)I think of a country who has a government that watches out for its citizens but is a dick about piracy laws. Their politics are more interesting, considering there's a pirate party and they actually have a noticeable left wing there. Unlike the US, where it's right and far right.
2)Tall beautiful blonde women, with cool accents. Tall/Blonde isn't my type though.
3)Soccer.
4)Melodic death metal/folk metal/black metal.

You guys are pretty cool from my current perceptions.

Thanks for your opinion, and how do you think I should write it then?

 

[Socken]

Sweden is the best country ever.
That is all.

Or maybe not:

I'm just pissed that the comedic swedish stereotype always seems to be a mix up of German and Swiss culture. And german accents, ALWAYS GERMAN ACCENTS

To be fair, I've talked to quite a few Swedes in my life and their accent did seem a lot like the one you get here in Germany.

Whos Van Wilder?

 

[PhiMed]

Damn Swedes, with their... um... dynamite?

I am from Sweden.

I find it quite awesome.

Shame we don't have that many good bands though.

Feels a bit unecessary since we've never been in a real war

Well since the last time we attacked Russia
