Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree... -
Well anybody could of easily mixed that up. OP/Ed usually stands for Opinion/Editioral... which the original article was. Opinion/Editorial.Originally posted by JohnT
Actually, OP stands for "Original Post", i.e., the first post in a thread.
Did I actually just respond to Fez?
For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)Comment

I don't think Sweden is on the edge of bankruptcy.. I see it as a pretty balanced and stable country. Taxes COULD BE LOWER though.. pretty high there too.. about the same as in here. I would also like to see some beefing up of the military rather than the opposite. But other than that.. it's pretty cool. Definitely stable. I don't see it changing any time soon.In da butt.

wedish chain stores as H&M and Ikea, whose aesthetic quality limits their range in the United States to a handful of sophisticated metropolitan areas.
What I hate about foreigners is that they think IKEA is classy. In any sane world the above piece would mean that the US outside a handful of sophisticated metropolitan areas was Somalia-style wasteland.Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

Just damn, Alabama has a higher gross domestic product then Sweden? Also the US taxes around 15 to 16 % of GDP, not 33% as the article states. This is an aberation though and it will likely go back up to 20%.Comment

LC, true
The only GOOD thing about IKEA is that their products are cheap, and that's the whole idea behind it too.

I'm glad that our rebellion province is doing good, but I don't want them to reunite yet - they first have to get their economy back on the track, and politically they have to get out of the one party mode, but there are hope hat it will happen next election.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Actually, our Social-Democrat governent has slided towards liberal politics in the last decades. So don't use Swden as some kind of proof that "socialism works". The Swedish system works, but we don't have socialism. Not the kind the real socialists want anyway.Originally posted by Agathon
