That's right Sweden, listen to him. He's from Canada, and that's almost as cold as Sweden. So he can meet you in your own environment.Shapsters said:

To be honest, I was hoping there would be viking axe battles, but unfortunately people just kind of walked around without engaging in mortal combat to the death. I was rather disappointed. You see, my great-grandfather was Swedish, and I was hoping to go to the land of my ancestry and fight someone with an axe, like everyone else did, because it was Sweden, land of the Vikings. Unfortunately, my mother decided that we wouldn't even go into the countryside, but rather look at things in museums in Stockholm the entire time. Needless to say, there were no Viking axe battles. I was even more disappointed to learn that Viking axes are not even for sale. I asked the lady at the desk where Viking axes might be sold, and she looked bewildered and taken aback. That was all there was to it. I realised that Sweden is just like any other part of the developed world: boring. Sorry Swedish people and people from other parts of the developed world.
Actually, in defiance of that stereotype I am extraordinarily skinny. And apparently you haven't heard any of the stories of police brutality coming out of the US, because you wouldn't be laughing if you had. Especially here in New York.Shapsters said:
Ya, Police here are power hungry too. Some foreign guy was killed in an airport when tasered by the police. Why you ask? Because he was confused, speaking in another language, and wielding a STAPLER!. The police thought that was a good enough reason to taser the guy.. now he is dead.ElephantGuts said:
Wow, really? That puts our cops to shame. You Canadians are some sick fucks. We're really derailing this thread though, so if this conversation is to continue it should probably be in PMs.Shapsters said:
On topic: I like Sweden for helping Jews escape out of Denmark in World War 2. I'm pretty sure I'm not just making that up.
Do they make chocolate? or was that belgium...
They make sofa's don't they?
Don't they wear white dresses with red flowers and their hair in blond plaits with a funky hat?
You know, I don't know why I failed Geography.

Killer meatballs.
Most intertron usage.
And I believe they are the neutralists. Or was that Norway? I always get you two mixed up.

Damn! I didn't expect so many to know so much about Sweden! Let's see...
Yup. Pretty much. Not that many orgies, though... But plenty of loose chicks, so it's not that far off.JRslinger said:
Yup. Our government decided that the Internet was a good thing, so our insane taxes payed for the contruction of a pretty much nation-wide broadband network. Now they've decided that the Internet is a bad thing because an entire generation of Swedes is using said network to pirate stuff they wouldn't pay for anyway.razer17 said:
That's right. And there are no Mexicans in LA. Oh, wait...ElephantGuts said:
Well what would a black person be doing in Sweden? Besides the fact that he would stand out horribly and look ridiculous, how did he get there? Who thinks, "I think I'll move to a country where every other inhabitant looks the polar opposite of me"?Martymer said:
