Speaking as a swede now, I can tell you that it's just myth and exaggeration. There is nothing to support the notion that Swedish women are more attractive in general than the women anywhere else in the world.Nickolai77 said:
The rest of the world however seem to believe this, but that's just because some airheaded glamour models have reached international fame. It's not like they represent the physical apperance of Swedish women in general.
Sorry.

The pies. Definitely the pies. And the Iced Coffee. And the fact that if there's ever another major war, we're far too insignificant to be invaded.
Companies trying to sell things certainly could find other means of getting their products out. However, entertainment companies would be hard pressed finding other ways to fund their products.Housebroken Lunatic said:I doubt it. Selling and spreading entertainment throughout different mediums doesn't require commercialism really. In fact, that's a myth that marketing companies just try to perpetuate with more or less successful results. (because if corporations simply wised up and learned that they don't really need to pay large sums of money funding marketing campaigns and the like to sell their products, marketing and PR-consultants and companies would find themselves out of a job)2012 Wont Happen said:
Okay. But I'll not get into that debate. No need to get more off-topic than we already are.2012 Wont Happen said:
Actually, we have a game that is an evolution of rules drawing from football and rugby that is not played with feet (except for the few seconds of kicks in each game), or an actual "ball". I don't fault anyone for like American Football (I myself prefer traditional football and rugby), but we don't have real football. Well, we do- but we call it Soccer (which is close enough because the word "soccer" is derived from "Association Football")vento 231 said:
Dominican Republic is hot all year round, and although the summer is FUCKEN UNBEARABLE, that means you can go to the pool on Christmas.
I also love the strawberry ice cream from a store called Bon, and they have great Empanadas.
Just to be polite to some people, here a picture of some Empanadas:
If you want to go to Dominican Republic, don't go in the summer, unless you can negotiate with mosquitos.

I'm from the US, whats not to love?
That's because your guys history is awesome, I like studying it as much as American history.DSK- said:

Wouldn't include them personally.
I'm British, and I like our healthcare, our sense of humour, and the smug satisfaction I get from knowing were not quite as politically retarded as our American cousins.
Umm... the fact that my parents can still afford an apartment and internet when they both got fired two years ago... otherwise... No i would move to a different country with less people if it was like this.Noceus said:
I thought this as well until several foreign people who had visited Sweden starting to insist that it was true and now I don't know what to believe...Housebroken Lunatic said:Speaking as a swede now, I can tell you that it's just myth and exaggeration.

It probably depends on where they're from. I mean if someone from finland, norway, denmark or iceland go to sweden they'll probably not make any remark at all.Cpt. Red said:
But if they are fro the mediterranian or other place far off where the ethnic differences in looks will be quite noticeable by comparison, then they'll probably make a remark.
But that have more to do with exoticism than anything else. I mean, you can probably imagine how many westerners could go to japan and be dumbstruck by all the "cute japanese schoolgirls" everywhere.
So I don't believe it's so much about one nation having a generally "better looking" population than the other. It's just that it might come off as exotic to certain people, and exotic things tend to make a stronger impression than the things we are used to see every day.
Seeing as how I can't say what I love about about the US(I've only lived in one state and visited 4 others, so I haven't seen everything the US has to offer), I'll tell you what I love about Costa Rica. When I step outside, I can see the mountains in the distance. I gotta tell you, it's beautiful.
I love Australia's weather, its landscapes, (most) of its people. The uniforms worn by professional sportspeople here are probably the skimpiest in the world, too.
I am jealous of the history enjoyed by those in European countries, you in the UK having built so much of the world as it is today and you Scandinavians with your Vikings! The history of Australia's indigenous people goes back 40,000 years but most of that is either unrecorded or passed down in story/song to the next generation of the many different groups.

England. Fish 'n' Chips, PROPER english breakfast, oh, and taking the mickey out of welsh people. Sorry in advance to welsh escapists, its an english tradition.
