I'm not rich, but Swedish standards of living beats everything with the possible exception of how Lichtenstein bank executives enjoy life.
How many of your friends own summer houses?
Mine own winter houses in Florida.
I'd say they have your friends beat, sport.
All of that applies to me as well. What doesn't apply to me is your snotty, superior braggadocio.
Here in Texas I have lots of friends who own several houses. Oh, did I mention a lot of them own ranches that encompass thousands of acres? And...we have oil.
How many of your friends own oil wells?
By all means, stay there!
“I live in Sweden, my neighborhood is clean and there’s no crime...”
Put on a Yarmulke and walk the streets of Malmo. If you make it kilometer, I’ll be shocked. I’d be surprised if you could even make it several kilometers in Stockholm.
In the US, just about anywhere, you can walk all you want that way. We may some day get as bad as Malmo, but it’s still years away, as we DON’T apologize for cultures that behave that way.
(p.s., deny it all you want, I don’t dignify apologists with responses)
We have a level of individual freedom here that you can’t even dream of.
Now, wait until all your Muslims decide to go 8th century on you. How will you defend your IKEA furniture and that POS Volvo? What does your firearm collection look like?
Actually, we live in a nice house on a beautiful lake. We don’t own a summer house, but we do own a ranch in Texas.
But what do people own in Sweden besides their cars and TVs? Americans own a great deal of real estate and a lot of stock in corporations throughout the world. In the US, we pay about 30% of our income in all forms of taxes (income, property, and sales taxes). What is that percentage in Sweden....closer to 50%, isn’t it? But you get government-run health care. Here we would rather keep more income and pay for our own health insurance. That’s the conflict we have with Obamacare, which was rammed through congress by a bunch of socialists who were thrown out of office last year.
Do YOU own a summer house?
Do you live in a house or an apartment and what is the size of your domicile? Dollars to donuts, whatever size your abode is, it could be plunked into my house and not be noticed. And the same could be said, no doubt, re your friends homes.
FYI..........I don't know of anyone who: 1) drives a wreck 2) lives in anything but a spacious, lovely home 3) lives in an crime ridden neighborhood 4) has only 1 or 2 T.V.s 5) hasn't been on lovely holidays, in America ( this nation has far more to offer than yours does ! ), as well as in other nations
And FYI..........posting drunk, or even when slightly inebriated is extremely stupid !
Oh and FYI............I have NEVER smoked pot, nor taken any illegal substance.
Sweden's taxes are obscene, you have a bloated welfare state, your illegitimate birth rate is much higher than the USA's ( as a total, not amongst various different racial components ), and your Muslim problem is pretty bad.
And to top it all off, you posted this in the wrong place! Your wee rant is not wining you any friends here.
My neighborhood is clean and there’s no crime here either. I have a nice car and only want one TV. Thats because I’m smarter than you and have a life outside of TV. I don’t need to go ‘abroad’ because my state is bigger than your country. My country is bigger than your continent. I live where folks from your continent come to have a vacation.
When your wife goes out shopping on vacation she’s paying my taxes. Thank you, I appreciate it.
You own SEVERAL TVs? Don’t they call those things “idiot boxes” and “boob tubes”?
You are aware that Sweden has a total fertility rate of only 1.67?
At that rate you native, snobby, Euro-peon Swedes will be completely replaced by the immigrating Muslim population in, oh, say 100 years.
I guess when you are too busy watching television the last thing you’ll want to do is have children get in the way of having your minds turned into Jello!
Well... my neighorhood is clean and there's no crime. I have two houses, one with a 54" plasma and another with a 42" plasma, both with surround systems. I have two cars (a Jeep Commander and a Mustang convertible). I've been abroad for holidays, but over here I can travel across seven time zones and from the Arctic to the tropics without a passport, and I have been to the boundaries of that map. What you call "countries" we call "states" or sometimes... "counties". I'm not "rich" either, but I'm not suffering. I love Sweden and swedes. And your bikini team. And Norway, as that's my heritage. But y'all haven't cornered the market on civilization, just yet. Sure... it was probably awesome back when places like Sweden had a mostly homogenous culture. But how's that muslim immigration thing going for yah?
I live in Southern California, I have no need for a summer house or a winter house for that matter.
Please update us as to what your point is.
My Mother always told me that in life there are always people that are better off than you and there are always people worse off than you.
Are you posting here to tell us how wonderful your life is? I don't recall seeing anyone here asking how you were doing.
My Father In Law's Wife is Swedish as are many of their friends. For some strange reason they prefer to visit Sweden rather than live there. I'll have to ask them why when I see them.
They live up the coast in Solvang. It's kind a boring combination of Lego Land and Mayberry.
Oh!? So now you live in Sweden but the question was about Noway?
I figured out your problem.
You are still mad about me stealing Girgen Kirgen from Fiord in Sweden.
Move on. She never liked you and only wanted to spend your money.
I neither need nor desire a summer house. And you wouldn’t believe how much crap I take about owning a Cadillac Escalade.
I have to have a big vehicle to haul my duck-hunting dog to field meets.
By coincidence our Mexican illegal neighbors also have a 50” plasma TV.
Just one word.
Malmo.
Now tell me again about your wonderful little paradise of Sweden.
For everyone else, just do a Free Republic search on the city of Malmo to see about it. Sweden’s going to be an Islamostate in the next few decades if they don’t get their collective heads out of their collective @sses.
Several, and none are in a frozen wasteland.
