BruceVC Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Ruin our Swedish culture? Hell, 95% of it is already imported stuff. The three things that could be called Swedish culture that we do is dance around an erected **** on midsummers eve, have a "crayfish premiere" in august and watch "From all of us to all of you" at 15:00 on Christmas, the rest are imported from christianity, germany and the US. The one thing that has been "destroyed" is All saint's day celebration in favor for Halloween wich is an American import, and not something I can see how they can blame on immigration. >_> Ruin our Swedish culture?

Also, people will stop eating surströmming. I like you guys, keep us updated on serious social changes you feel Sweden is going through....I am using your views on a radio show debate I am having on the success of immigrant integration. Your views are considered " Swedish anecdotal evidence " and it is important as some people prefer to hear the opinions of actual citizens "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Gfted1 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Wait, what about the rumor that every Swedish woman is a smokin' hot blonde babe. Are you saying that's not true? 2 http://www.sloganizer.net/en/image,Gfted1,black,red.png
BruceVC Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Note that I'm Portuguese, and I've been living in Sweden for less than a year. Oh, thanks for this. I'll mention this as its relevant from the principle. It never ever gets checked but all debates are recorded and you never can be too honest So I'll say exactly what you said above but still use your general view "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Azdeus Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Wait, what about the rumor that every Swedish woman is a smokin' hot blonde babe. Are you saying that's not true? Well, more and more women are having darker haired children, but this has nothing to do with globalization or genetics, no. It's surströmming. It helps strengthen the genes for blonde hair, and as the consumption of surströmming the past decades has gone down so has the number of blonde people. Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

Meshugger Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 lol, the swedes on the board are so swedish that it hurts.

There's no swedish people, no swedish culture and blondes will diminish, but not because sweden is becoming less swedish. I do understand your concern for the cultural future of your country, I share some of your anxiety. This is why i want to see how things develop in Sweden I believe the Swedish " culture " will still survive in a slightly modified way "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

There's no swedish people, no swedish culture and blondes will diminish, but not because sweden is becoming less swedish. It is over 1000 years long tradition to import new people in Sweden, meaning that is their culture. They import people and ideas from other cultures and then say that they are theirs. They have done it from dawn of the time 1

Agiel Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling
Agiel Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) Trump yells at CIA director over reports intel officials are keeping info from him On Wednesday, the Wall Street Journal had reported that U.S. intelligence officials have kept information from Mr. Trump because they feared it could be leaked or compromised. Seems to fall in line with a theory I developed that Trump's inexperience with national security and intelligence matters could lead to severe missteps in these fields. Another example was when Reagan played the tape of that Su-15 pilot's communications with his GCI's when he shot down KAL 007, to which the NSA expressed some consternation with the president since it revealed to the Soviet PVO the extent their communications were compromised.

Drowsy Emperor Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) Swedes are notorious for dismissing any opposing voices. Just a week ago a policeman that is about to retire raised a national ruckus on Facebook by saying that almost every crime he worked on was done by someone from a muslim country. If it was just a meaningless rant the whole country wouldn't have jumped on the statement like it was a godsend (or a crime worthy of capital punishment). He got a truckload of flowers merely for daring to speak out. The basic narrative is always the same: there are some problems, but its all good. To imply otherwise is to be a racist. Meanwhile 30+ no go zones, Malmo etc. Edited February 18, 2017 by Drowsy Emperor 1 И погибе Српски кнез Лазаре,И његова сва изгибе војска, Седамдесет и седам иљада;Све је свето и честито билоИ миломе Богу приступачно.
