Once again, clownish right-wingers have caused us global shame....An email from my friend in Sweden:

"MV - WTF man? ..... Wuz watching TV8 news today and saw a bunch of crazy people at those health care meetings. You get rid of the king of shit president, but the people get more crazy? ..... Hope that if you do get a health plan over there it includes a lot of psycho care for all the nuts.....LOL......LMGTBASAO, Sven"



OP's note: "LMGTBASAO" means "Laughing My Glad-to-Be-a-Swede Ass Off"

2. You speak Swedish?
I attempted a few words when I visited....Thank goodness everyone in Malmo spoke English. I can pick up romance languages, and even Dutch and German, with little trouble....But those Scandinavian langauges? Good golly Mz Molly.

4. Ja, det kan jag men det har varit so langt...Jag har glomt so myket.

Once you get past the pronunciation it's really close to English. I like the Malmo accent. It's so "potatis in munnen!" (mouthful of potatoes as other Swedish folk say.).

I speak 7 languages. I can't spell worth a damn in most of them including English and I cuss like a sailor in most of them including English. :evilgrin:

I hope I thanked Sven for "the obvious" correctly.

That's quite impressive, Daniel Jackson.

14. Yes it is. Didn't help me at the singles bar when I was single...
It's my sole source of personal accomplishment and pride that I actually like to brag about...maybe that's not a good thing.

I knew a few rednecks who thought it was entertaining to make me say something in all of them. (It's not really a party trick.)

6. Does this thread serve a particularly constructive purpose?
Yes, US far-rightists make notoriously poor errors in judgment and ethics regarding social-safety provisions. Film at eleven.

9. I'd estimate about half of all threads don't.
But this OP is kind of amusing.

13. The company my wife works for is based in France. I keep telling her to
look for a transfer. Most of the French people she works with are assholes, but I can handle assholes, I like in NJ. ;)

15. Don't tell the nutcases that 'the whole world is watching':
