Apparently the influence of rap music has even corrupted this staunchly conservative nation ... :squinteye :crosseyed

Sweeden's not conservative. They have been socialist and culturally liberal for a long time now.

lol. That wasn't meant as a value judgment. That is a factual statement of their system of government. I've been to Sweden, and at that time many Swedes seemed to feel that their system worked just fine for them. Granted, many things have changed since I was there two years ago.

My comments were rather tongue in cheek. I know the government is mostly socialistic, although the moderate party is currently in control.

Still this is the same country that gave the world ABBA ...

Very funny.

Very funny! Somebody's been watching too much Borat!

Not to start a political discussion or hijack a thread, but most Swedes don't mind paying very high taxes to support their socialism because they feel they get a good return on them. They tend to be satisfied with their government's efforts. Same thing probably wouldn't work here.

For which they may never be forgiven, lol.
