Hell, one of our wars lasted more than 100 years! There's nothing quite like a really good enemy. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> well we only "hate" them when there aren't any others around who are more strange than they are.. it's like family.. you'll hate your brother if you are alone with him in a room for more than a day as well.. ^_^ and Norway is like the little sister who everyone loves.. as long as she keeps quiet..

There's nothing quite like a really good enemy. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The Kalmar Union and its aftermath lasted for about 150 years and I tell you it wasn't a happy marriage.

Dark_Raven Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Wasn't Denmark conquered by Sweden at one point? I'd suggest that if our loyal Irish can attack us for past offences in the UK, you can blow up their goat.

Rosbjerg Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 well it was implemented in your language - your culture and history to hate the French .. the best way to defeat an enemy is if you truely hate 'it' - and when some childrens rhimes and jokes (etc) are constructed to ridicule and create indifference about the French.. well then you have an entire system constructed to allowing your hatred/anamosity to flick on at the slightest effort..

Walsingham Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Actually, I tell a lie. We don't hate the French, and they don't hate us. It would a superfluous emotion to bring into a perfect state of warlike mistrust and antipathy. Hate has nothing to do with us having wars with them after so long. "It wasn't lies.

mkreku Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 Your Daily Swedish Cultural Update: The black sculpture seen in the background behind the Yule Goat, is a masterpiece of the late British sculptor Henry Moore. It's called "Three Piece Reclining Figure", and it's an abstraction of a female body (probably his wife Irina) lying down. It it made of massive bronze and is worth appr. $6-7 million. So, basically what I'm saying is: if you fly over here to burn the goat, you can make a decent profit if you end up snatching the statue at the same time. It only weighs a couple of tons.

Pop Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 (edited) Instead of burning goats, I think we should all be doing our part to promote world peace this solstice time. The "positive energy fields" stuff is new age wank, but it's good stuff for a good cause. Grab an attractive friend and, uh, come together. In the interests of peace on Earth and goodwill towards men. Isn't that what Christmas is all about? btw, there's 11 days left, so some of you had better start preparing now. You know who you are.
