Or sect 1 of the 14th amendment.
That was shocking!

I just got back Monday from Sweden. I was in Stockholm, Linköping, and Gotland. I really don’t think Norwegians and Swedes look that much different...
They’re both beautiful!
:-)
I don’t know why Norway wouldn’t want to claim her. She’s got great genes. America was ruthlessly discriminatory about who was allowed in to the country in the 1800s and early 1900s— no sick people, etc.
“This is NOT a Swede”
I thought swede was a nickname for turnips. Helen Thomas is certainly as attractive as a turnip freshly pulled from the ground.
(now ducking) :-)
“She’s so cute they named a brewery after her.”
- I haven’t tried that particular beer, but Norway has some of the best beers in Europe.
Even though Sweden has some nice really enjoyable beers too(like Mariestads, Åbro and TT), Norwegian beer is better in general. Maybe it’s because of their supreme spring water?
We're still ruthlessly discriminatory. No educated people, no rich people, no law abiding people, no english speaking people, no people who want to learn english, and of course very few white people. We only take in those who will be a burden on the rest of us.
I guess it depends on how you interpret "naturalized"
“I thought swede was a nickname for turnips.”
- A ‘swede’ is (apart from a native of Sweden) a name for a “..root vegetable that originated as a cross between the cabbage and the white turnip” (quote from Wikipedia).
It is also called ‘Rutabaga’, ‘Swedish Turnip’ and ‘Yellow Turnip’.
Frome what I’ve understood, this usage of the word ‘Swede’ is more common in British English than in AE.
“What’s the difference?”
- Between Swedish and Norwegian girls?
It’s difficult to define it in a few words, it’s more like something you experience after having lived in Scandinavia for several years.
“I just got back Monday from Sweden. I was in Stockholm, Linköping, and Gotland.”
- Guess the weather wasn’t that good in those parts of Sweden either (I live on the West Coast, in Gothenburg).
If I may ask, what did you enjoy and what was not so good about your trip?
Ps. Are you the guy I discussed the Gotland habit of eating Lamb eyes with here on FR a while ago?
Yup, that was me! I’m happy to report I returned from Gotland without anyone offering me lamb eyes :)
The weather was awesome! It only rained a few times, mostly either at night or while we were inside. So no complaints about that!
What did I like... well I love Sweden and would move to Stockholm in a second if I could find a company to set me up (I do computer and network support). I stay and travel with locals, because I have many Swedish friends! So it’s very easy for me to get along there. The only regret is that I didn’t find a young Swedish girl looking for dual citizenship who wants to teach me Swedish!!! hahahahaha
Norwegian father, Swedish mother, born in Norway, so she’s a Swede? How is that?
Perhaps the article is unclear... where it says “lived with her Norwegian father in Norway since she was born” ...that must mean she was born in Sweden and then went to Norway... which would logically make her Swedish and an immigrant to Norway. Her parents should have known that.
