Poll: What preconceptions do you have/know of about Swedes?

[Xorghul]

I think Piratpartiet is awesome.

I think Mona Sahlin is an ugly cow.

I think Anders Borg is the shit.

I love my swedish meatballs.

I think Ipred and FRA are evil.

I hate the overprices on games in Sweden.

I think dynamite and the zipper are pretty nice inventions from Sweden.

Oh and btw, I live just outside of Stockholm.

Nice of you to share you're view on Sweden, I agree, but you don't count unfortunately.

Would be cool if we could get some Norwegians to answer this.

Until i read this i didn't know any, now i know loads yay.
i like stereotypes
I an't believe the whole ikea thing didnt register before though

Well, I would think that they'd be starchy, and good in stews-

Oh, right, the nation? I don't really know. Tall? Pale? Good with the cold?

A stew? Excellent idea! As long as you promise to put all the little emokids in it, that is.

 

[Xorghul]

...they're Swedish for God's Sake!

Exactly my sentiments, good sir!

You have lots of attractive blondes, you make a crapload of catchy ear-wormy dance music, and you're very liberated, socialist, and are a model society. If only it wasn't nighttime half the year.

Yeah, I hate our crappy pop music. And the winter, especially up in the most northern parts were it actually is nighttime pretty much half the year. Except for a few weeks in the summer when the sun never goes down. Just goes around and arou[small]nd and around and...[/small]

A Norwegian told me once that all Swedes are gay and not really Nordic. I thought it was great. Though he didn't complain about Swedes as much as he did Danes.

Also this guy:

You're all blonde and your women are smoking hot. If crowds at Swedish football matches are anything to go by, these assumptions seem correct.

For living in Sweden?

I knew that would come back to bit me in the ass sooner or later.

Of course it would come back to bite you in the ass!
Although it can't hurt because it's choking on all the money from the lobbyists that now controls our government><

 

[Xorghul]

I'm afraid my preconceptions of Swedes are tiresomely predictable. You're all blonde, your women are hot and you live in a fair and equitable society. I know other people have said similar things but that's what springs to mind. I'm thinking of moving there at some point. Would you recommend it?

Not if our government continues to sell of our freedom and integrity on the internet to Hollywood.

Well, we complain about how stupid the Norwegians are quite often so..It's a mutual thing.

I know nothing about sweeden, however, I, for some reason, associate it with switzerland and holland.

Also, the sweedish army is really good at guerilla warfare, or something like that.

 

[JRslinger]

Everyone is rich, tall and blonde. Socially very liberal with lots of orgies

Well, no one speaks very clearly after half a bottle of Vodka...
Except everyone in Skåne, they always talk like that.

That would explain it. He was rather found of bashing Swedes but had an absolute venom for the Danes. Though I love thinking about Swedish Parliament all talking like Swedish Chef it makes me giggle.
