WHO LIKES THE SWEDES ?

It is often assumed that Norway and Finland dislikes Sweden. This is not true. But it is a good start for a conversation as blog. OK Sweden has been, in the past, the power point and master of a Nordic universe. OK Sweden made money from being "neutral" in the 2nd World War as in selling that stuff which kills people and is mined from Swedish soil. OK Sweden made many countries jealous because of that welfare state success. OK the likes of Bush and Bliar (and their tutors before) feel threatened by Sweden as Sweden is bad PR for the UK or the USA. Sweden has a very good football team too. That pisses off a few self-rightous nations!!! Less than ten million folk ( yes i said folk) live in Sweden which is a rather big country. In fact it has, I think, the biggest city in the world. Kiruna - in the north of Sweden - is by place and space huge. Bad news however. Kiruna is sinking. The mines that are like a huge underground city are slowly ( like capitalism and a South Sea Bubble) sinking. But the local folk have higher ground to dwell with. In fact Kiruna has the highest mountain in the land. Local folk often smile at the mines and the inevitable sinking feelings that come through mines and mines and mines all connected through the dark tunnels of a subtle capitalism ideology. Anyway Sweden is as complex as any other place. But it does OK.

Men can take good leave from work and get paid when they become a father,women too. ( fuck it I meant when women become a mother). Swedish language courses are available for any "foreigner" that stays or wants to stay. Foreigners living in Sweden can even ask for their tax information in their own language. So why would Finns or Norwegians not be friendly with Swedes?

Finns prefer Sweden to Russia. Or at least most Finns. To the Finland Station is however almost a banned book. Norway has oil money now and they argue amongst themselves. Sweden has no oil. Sweden has no Russia anymore to fight against. Why would folk dislike Sweden? Come on UK and USA pundits give us a clue at least.

But what if Finns and Norwegians often classify Swedes as "homo"? Which they do !

Today as Finland is again a kind of "Finland Station" vis-a-vis the EU we are tempted to return to history.
