Swedsh girls are very open minded when it comes to their sexuality. They are very liberated and strong, independent women who know how to work dick. If you want to, you can come visit one of my many luxury villas and I will arrange a meeting with you and some of my beautiful Swedish friends, some of whom who are girls. There is a 100% chance that they will gently caress you

but you will have to gently caress the guys too

One was a timely equalizer in a tie of a round robin match (that you only won the group stage because you beat up on Bulgaria) in a tournament you literally got knocked out of in the first round of the knockout stage. The other won a goddamn gold medal in the Olympics.

I can't imagine that most of those pictures Nauta posted are actually real. While I know it's popular to denigrate or dismiss western culture and history among some leftists, and label those interested in it as bad, a lot of those seem either taken out of context or completely fabricated. Like making it illegal to urinate while standing? That's nonsensical. I'm not Swedish, but I doubt anyone would be that touchy about such a non-issue, and I say that as a person with some of grievances about different leftist ideologies today. Sahlin's quote about Swedes have no worthwhile history or culture also seems pretty fake. Even the pictures which deal with Islam directly seem to be wholly removed from their context.

It's not like they don't have events/activities to promote cross cultural exchange and understanding in other countries. I'm sure there are days to promote Swedish history and culture too.

Men sitting to pee is not limited to Sweden: http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2015/01/a-victory-for-the-right-to-pee-standing-up/384754/ My favorite part:

quote:

"Urinals lead restrooms equal in square footage to offer more excreting opportunities to men than to women," she explained, causing longer lines for women's bathrooms and other inequities. "When such features as fainting couches, full length mirrors, and vanities are added—as they sometimes are—to women’s but not to men’s rooms, the ratio of excreting opportunities given equal square footage gets even worse for women."
I get that men's bathrooms have great efficiency gains, but I think I don't think she realizes that men's rooms are generally terrible places. Nothing beats standing in literal puddles of piss while using a trough at a ballpark. I would love for someone to invent a female group urinal. Maybe some kind of long bench with the middle slat removed. I'm sure ladies would be clamoring for such convenience. Plus think of all the wonderful blog articles shaming womanspreading from all the people having to sit wide-legged because their pants are around their ankles.

Swedes are most definitely very cautious about promoting Swedish history and culture. They're extremely liberal people ashamed of their country's past as a Nazi collaborator state. It would be strange if they didn't get squeamish about celebrating their culture, especially considering it's been repeatedly appropriated by white supremacists.

Somebody posted in the latest Köln rapefugee thread that "Sweden is really bad at immigration" and it's true. It's an insular culture marked by social conformism, conflict avoidance and trying to accomodate everyone. It's like we've taken egalitarianism far enough to forget that social hierarchies and negative reinforcement exist for and serve a purpose. Our schools are in shambles in no small part due to the teacher's position as an authority figure having been eroded and him being expected to keep a bunch of hormonal teenage shitheads in line through "dialogue".

If you're a well-adjusted go-getter, you'll do fine in Sweden. If you aren't, nobody will tell you to get your poo poo in order *or else* because that's not how Swedes work through issues. We give them a pat on the head and expect the best of them regardless.
