Just curious; last night Bill O'Reilly said that socialism has never worked anywhere in the world and I just wanted to do a quick fact check. Thanks guys.

Swedish socialism has been v good to me. It hasn't all been positive, though. My aptitude tests put me on track to municipal level state bureaucracy at an early age, which is fine I guess, but I'd have much preferred working with cars, I think. Ultimately the state knows best though, I suppose, and municipal bureaucrats get half as many ration stamps anyway.

is this real stuff or trole

I feel somewhat compelled to give my 2 cents on this subject because i was born and raised in the US (Washington state specifically) and I moved to Sweden about 4 years ago which I was able to do because both my parents are Swedish so I was granted Swedish citizenship.

Sweden is not a 'socialist paradise' as many would have you believe. The weed here is way overpriced and mostly poor quality, you end up paying like twice as much for something that is basicly half the quality of what you would get back in the states and good luck trying to find regular buds because 90 percent of the time all your gonna find is hash and not good hash either. I think Sweden has suffered alot from all the anti weed propaganda basicly way back in the 60s to probly the mid 2000's and its only recently they're trying to cut back on that sort of brainwashing because kids are ODing on spice and going crazy. It's really lame how alot of people here see weed as some sort of gateway drug for heroin or cocaine even though I have countless friends in Seattle who have been smoking weed thier whole lives and have never even tried hard drugs. Another hosed up thing is that dealers are really flakey and since they're so scarce it's easy for them to stay in business since theyres so little competition amongst them. Back where I come from you have to have the best product for the best price and be willing to meet anyone at any time if you want to be a successful pot dealer. Anyways, the whole stigma thats attached to you if you smoke weed is terrible, like I could walk into work on Monday morning and tell my coworker that I was blackout drunk all weekend and woke up in a gutter and he would think it's hilarious, maybe even praise me for it.. But if I tell him I smoked a joint and just hung out at home and relaxed he would look at me like I'm a junkie..

Anyways I hope this helps if somehow Bernie manages to elected I'm sure you guys in the States will have it alot better than us in Sweden.

Sorry about your crippling pot addiction LOL
