Mapping Stereotypes

[Armstrong]

So @SvenSvensonov and @Transhumanist , to a lay man like myself, what exactly is the difference between Norway and Sweden ? Are you two different people or the same people with minor differences ?

Many differences! Sweden can't into oil, Norway can. Sweden can't into Viking before Norway, Norway can into Viking before Sweden. Other than that, not much, we're a lot like Canada and the US - no one's quite sure why we even have a border between us.



@SvenSvensonov - Jag är rätt , ja

Swedes are a bit pissed..... maybe most of the time..............

Surprised to see that the French see us as "poor brothers" and not gypsie thieves.Maybe they've heard how we almost killed our king out of sheer Francophilia.

I assure you that 1% of us can at least make the difference between romanians and roma gypsies.

But you have to explain me this

This Romanian Mayor Might Have Accepted Millions in Bribes, but at Least He Looks Fabulous

Well of course, they took our oil!!! 'Merica, some dirty commies need some democracy... oh, and they have oil too!

@SvenSvensonov - Jag är rätt , ja

ja , du har rett - I'd like to be a unified nation, Norway-Sweden once again, but you stingy butts wont share the oils!

LOL.... I get the rivalry with the Norwegians, however, one thing I never understood was why you guys hate the Danes?

Hmmmmn.....a long time ago when I was in kindergarten I used to think that Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway were part of a single country called Scandinavia !

Now I know that the Danes play the best football amongst all 4 of you !

The Danes used to be Vikings too, not any more. Bunch of wimps!

...

actually, it's a complex dynamic of inter-nation unions, break ups and reunions, so a bit like high-school drama.

Union Of Denmark, Sweden, And Norway

Kalmar Union

Union between Sweden and Norway

Denmark–Norway

When Norway formally split for Sweden, and became an independent nation again, they elected a Dane as their first king in over 500 years. THEY ELECTED A DANE!!! Stupid Norge.

1%?...dude that's low...in the 19th century entire Bucharest rioted against the "hun king" when Prussia defeated France in the Prussian-France war.(the Hohhenzolern dude had just arrived as the King of Romania).My favourite is WW1 though ...after the battles of Marasti,Marasesti,Oituz when we repelled ze Germans the Russkies pulled out of the war leaving us totally uncovered.In the Crown Council debating what we should do in the face of this new situation and overwhelming odds one deputy stood up and said:"we must resist,even if we get destroyed,France shall live!"...lol...i'm honestly glad he was ignored,we surrendered

About that mayor,another corrupt **** serving jail time.Good ridance.

No Finland, they aren't Vikings. Sweden, Iceland (a colony of Norway), Denmark and Norway.

Scandinavia is a historical and cultural-linguistic region in Northern Europe characterized by a common ethno-cultural Germanic heritage and related languages. It comprises the three kingdoms of Norway, Denmark, and Sweden.

 

[Hyperion]

LOL..... yeah I know all about your rivalries....... have several Danes, Swedes and Norwegians as friends........ just like to get all of them into an argument.....

So...... tell me this....... who were the first "real" vikings?

My Swede friend is right, for once. No Finland. Just Norway and its rouge territories.

Football? What's that. Can you play it with sticks, a puck or skates?

 

[Armstrong]

No Finland, they aren't Vikings. Sweden, Iceland, Denmark and Norway.

So the Vikings stopped at the Swedish-Finnish and Norwegian-Finnish borders ?

If i'm not wrong,the Finns are uralic.
