I have no idea, but nobody (more or less) likes him here. He is too anti-taxes.

Not impossible, we are not india at least. The ones who are rich are somewhat rich and the ones who are poor are not very poor. I am satisfied.

Yes we are.

Ok, Itake a quick look outside my window and I see mostly forest except for houses and water. perhaps mostly water, or maybe houses. I can't decide. But yes we have a lot of forest.

Never been to Borgholm. Gothenburg is awesome. I can imagine moving there in the future, but my friends would kill me.
How come you have visited Sweden two times? I mean it can't be the forest that attracted you? Perhaps the ladies?
It wasnt the ladies, it was something more like death and destruction, aka the war in Bosnia ;)

I lived in Borgholm for 2 years and in Goteborg for 1.5. I lived in Kortedala, went to Talldunge skolan and played football in KIF :)

It is one sweet country, I'd very much like to go back :)

Ja, jag gor, men jag har glomt nagot, jag har inte varit i sverige 6 ar :)

I'd get the hang of it in a week or two if I came there.

Actually, I wasnt thinking of visiting as much as I was thinking of trying to go to college there. I'm 17 now, and I'll finish high school in 2 years.

I was planning of going to the Swedish embassy and asking around in a few months. Do you think there is a chance they'd take me? I dont know what their policy is about forigners now. I have family there (my uncle, aunt and two cousins and my grandfather all have swedish citizenship) and I was thinking that might be a good enough reason to let me in. I might even get Swedish citizenship (damn, I do wish) after a year or two if they combine it with the 3.5 years I was there (altho I dont think so)

Anyways, I really like Sweden, its like my second country. I always cheer for them in sports (football, hockey - 3 kronor :) ) and I love everything swedish. Volvo, SAAB, the girls... :D

That's funny, I thought we had the highest taxes in the world. I even heard a norweigan fella say the same.

Screw it, we all pay way to much, and that's one of the things I hate about Scandinavia.

Btw, nice avatar. Did they get the guy who did it???? I haven't been following the news much lately... certainly not today, you know the power failure in Sweden and eastern Denmark ;)
I'm 100% sure that we have the highest taxes in the world. The moderats always takes that up during the election years.
Yeah we pay way too much, it is those god damn niggers who take it. ;)
Seriously, one myth about Denmark is that you are extreme racists. I mean you don't have any moskes (you know that islamic church) and your governement are more or less racists. In France earlier this year I met some Danish people and they were even worse racists than we are. :eek:

I heard about that power failure, it caused problems all the way up to Uppsala.

No, but they have caught one guy. But I know him a bit and I'm sure that he is innocent.

They are getting tougher and tougher, but if you have family here it shouldn't be any problem. Especially as you have already been here.

Where in Gothenburg did you live?

Facts about Sweden:

- We have the highest taxes in the world.
- It is pretty cold, but it is hot in the summer. That is awesome, hockey in the winter and football in summer.
- We are pretty socialistic and conservative.

Myths:
- Yes, some people are pretty guiet, but not as quiet as you might think.
- Everyone is totally wasted on fridays and saturdays.
- We are the most USA influenced country in the world.
- Swedens area is covered with forest.

I dont know, if this is fact or myth, but:
- All Swedish people are blond, and all Swedish guys are tall or very tall.

About height: well I know one, and he is quite short, so all guys minus one for sure ;):D

    Wrong. Bosnia's government kisses the US ass at every chance they get. They even turned over 6 men that were suspected for terrorism to the US, altho it was illegal of them to do so. :mad:

    that is strangely a very conveted title.. coz Japan would surely be one of the top contenders IMO.
    Yeah you're right, there's heavy competition

    Australia's a funny country though, desperate for attention. Every time any terrorist mentions Australia, people seem to get proud of it :confused: They publish in all the newspapers: "OSAMA BIN LADEN THREATENED TO ATTACK THE US's ALLIES. THAT'S US! HOW COOL ARE WE! WE GOT INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION"
