USA is great
But it could be bether....
[;)]
So by criticizing what's not all that good, we can all help to make it bether.
Me personally promise also to do my best to point out what i as a Swede observed bout USA and of course inform myselfe from u guys so i understand u bether.
That's the least i can do before i go back and start ranting bout USA in the EUropean forums ...right ?[;)]
...and many times folks get blind or brainwashed bout what's going on in their own world/life/city....But someone from somewhere else might see the "things" with more unclogged eyes.
Would surely be great if u would like to improve us excellent swedes to be even bether to....If you by any chance have any bright ideas or see something that we somehow missed in our lifes and would benefit from knowing.
So basically.
progress comes/evolves from from criticizing.
Without any criticizing...NO progress.
That one basically evolves from that saying i don't know if you have in English ...that goes like....The ones you love u hurt/spanks...
and if you would't care you would't bother even to criticize.
because why bother if u don't care !?
Hmm hehe [:)]
You can quote me on that one it's one of my own (c)21th century by Talented.
Ps Yeah i talked to Mr Nord again hehe [;)]

Anyway how's your Swedish ? [8D]0 -
Most Americans are at a disadvantage to actually recognise that the USA is great because they have no baseline to establish it. Most have never been anywhere else to see the poverty or higher standard of living. It's like the people that parrot their religion is best without ever having studied any other.
People in this country bitch about the poverty of no cell phone or cable TV. Visit a country like Haiti or Djabouti where there is no clean water or guaranteed meal.
Or visit Switzerland where everyone has a real assault rifle and all the cheese they can eat. Obviously the Swiss have a much higher standard of living.
Just random thoughts.[;)]0 -

You said you were taking the highway.
Overhere there are on-ramps and off-ramps that you use to get on or off the highway (most of the time). They're basically the strip of road we use to accelerate up to the speed of the highway or to slow down when getting off the highway.0 -

Quote: " Or visit Switzerland where everyone has a real assault rifle and all the cheese they can eat." .... Just when in hell did the Swiss ever use a "assault rifle"? Only thing they did even prior to WW 2 is declare them as "neutrals". What do they need assault rifles for?
They never fired a shot in anger and probably never will. They are only good for banking illegal money, not fighting.0 -

What exactly would you have done in their position? Switzerland is a small, landlocked country with no natural resources. Joining the allies would have been suicide.0 -

Plato said that the ideal society doesn't change or "evolve". As a society evolves it decays, morally and physically. Only by arresting change can one prevent the inevitable slide into tyranny. The history of every empire to grace the earth may prove him right.
Just thought I'd throw that out there [:p]0 -

Please allow me to commend you my Swedish friend for your better than average command of the English language, and of it's American regional anglicisms.
U have a betta' grasp of the Queen's Inglish than the average American bred and educatid mongrel rite here at GunBroker. New England Catholic hi school graduits. West Indians two!!!
Where are you really from, anyways?
