Re: prima and scandinavia?
Yea, i've pretty much learned the best way to make friends at a swedish bar is to say, "i'm an american, but i don't like George Bush." Even though this is untrue, it's prevents a lot of political arguments that i personally don't like getting into...This may show my typical American ignorance (or my personal ignorance), but i have no idea what the 300 years in prison thing is?
Since you started it, American's joke/are serious about Swedes: lack of productivity from relatively bright people due to high taxes, lack of incentive for bright people, the fact that women have all the power, and the fact that nobody freakin works in July! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
