I think girls.
Lots of hot blond girls.

That is all.
lol, this is like THE most common thing I hear when I ask people about sweden, which is funny, blondes are a dying minority here as much as anywhere else
Wait what? Where the hell do you live? Where I live, the blondes are everywhere!
Stockholm, sure there ARE blondes but not nearly as many as the dark "blonde"/brown hair colour.

and the majority of the blonde women I see have had their hair bleached.
Stockholm here too. And since they've just bleached their hair, then that means that they are blond naturally.
not really... o.0

my sister is certainly not blonde from birth but she as bleached her hair like a hundred times to get the right platina colour, I doubt it's good for her hair though (yes she is the very definition of a "fjortis", I just hope its a phase =P)

Well, lets see, since I'm American, and therefore completely ignorant of the status of countries other than America, I only have one point of reference:


OT: Seems like a nice place. Wouldn't mind visiting it sometime.

I'm Norwegian, so by default I should be a bit bitter about the way Sweden treated us for about 500 years, however my girlfriend is Swedish, so I forgive you.

Think you have made up for it by parking on the wrong side of the road all the time you´re over here to visit :3

- In Flames
- Soilwork
- Scar Symmetry
- Solution .45
- Sonic Syndicate
- Opeth
- Fellow Vikings
- Swede Jokes

Sweden... let's see.

- Liberated women and progressive gender laws
- Shining beacon of liberal democracy
- Vast natural landscapes
- Rarely too hot, if ever
- Snowball fights possible in the winter
- You gave us Hans Rosling and his amazing data visualizations
- You gave us Minecraft
- Good healthcare and, apparently, excellent working conditions in the medical profession
- THE GÄVLEBOCKEN!!!

All in all, one of my favorite countries!

Sweden doesn't really have an stereotype besides the hot blonde girls and the snow everywhere.

Enjoy your stereotype-free country!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to kill some bulls, eat paella and dance some sevillanas

I don?t know much about Sweden other than its cold. I hear you guys have really high taxes but solid health care and allot of the important shit is free. I also hear you?re population in general is not as stupid about taxes and realises they do actually get used for essential things and not just to pay politicians. Supposedly you?re speed limits are usually very low (it pisses off one of my mother?s friends when she goes to Sweden because she rides a bike and likes to speed). According to washing machine ads you have ?a respect for [you?re] natural unspoiled environment? and I should go out and buy a Swedish washing machine right now or I?m a terrible person who hates the environment and kittens will die.
That?s about it and I?m probably wrong about all of that. The stereotype is tall, blond, blue eyed and fuck like rabbits last time I checked.

Like I think of every other country. An outdated, unnecessary, restrictive system, that would be better dissolved, and replaced with the now plausible and much more widely beneficial, logical and prosperous system of global governance. It'll happen anyway when one "country" becomes powerful enough to sustain this false economy on it's own, and slowly dependencies will form, small wars will break out, maybe a big one, then the planet will be finally united, in the name of war and power. The worst possible way of doing it, but the only way I see it happening. Preferably it could happen peacefully, reasonably, and logically, but it won't. It would mean governments dissolving willingly, and conceding all their claims and money. Even if that money is an utter sham that should by all rights be worth absolutely nothing.

We need this to move humanity to other worlds, and expand and advance our current technological, medical, and general scientific fields fast enough to sustain the colonisation. We can't do it as "countries". It breeds destructive unsustainable competition for trivial things.

But I suppose I'll answer your question:

It's 3rd on the Human Development Index after inequality adjustment (9th before). That's quite impressive. It's got beautiful vistas of natural resplendence. It has a healthy science outlook, plenty of innovation, a progressive economy (for what that's worth anymore), culturally elaborate; boasting a veritable and complex array of choices for everyone. Beyond excellent healthcare and education, both sustained largely by taxes, proffering further evidence this is the best way to run these services. A tolerant, balanced and reasonable approach to religion, embracing faith but not rejecting individual interpretations and ideas; ergo their high population of atheists, which does not inspire ire and horror as it does in some other "developed countries". I give Sweden a 10 for being a prime example of what life should be like after the dissolution of borders and nations.

The sad truth is that I don't think anything of Sweden. Your country never crosses my mind. I have no stereotypes for your people, no opinions on your culture...

Actually... to be more specific... I have no thoughts or opinions on Sweden past about 800 AD. I kinda enjoy swedish faith and literature from before then (at least what has survived the Christians).

You have that cheese with the holse in it, right?

I kid, I kid. I know you aren't the same as the Swiss.

Eh, I've not thought about ya'll that much. I'm told it's cold there
Funny. An american once asked me if I was from the German part of Sweden, since I so happen to speak German.
Seriously. How can people mix us up like this? :p

Because MOST Americans are uneducated idiots?

OT: I know its in between Norway and Finland and that I want to visit one day. I use to work with a girl from Sweden at a Girl Scout Camp 8 years ago.
It is a Nordic country, the capital is Stockholm and that the primary language is a North Germanic language. And that some pretty amazing music comes out of Sweden. I use to know more (and actually probably still do but I'm too tired to recall it) but lack of intelligence out here and a lack of willingness to talk about other countries and such has led me to start growing cobwebs there. Damn you ignorant Americans.
