I do not know where it started, but thought it more geared toward the haven.

It was actually rather generous to the OP that Quatermass put this in the PPR folder, as the poster reached his/her target audience rather than getting diverted somewhere else.

You may be correct...painful post though. Also, there have been a couple of responses where it was thought 'you people' was a reference to the members of this forum. The only reason I did not think that is because it is their first post.

Nah, most of the time when you see a one time post with this much intent drilled into it - the problem the mods have with it is less the content (as long as it not too obscene) but rather that they made a sockpuppet (ie. took out a second screen name) to deliver it. At least the person hasn't continued to post under this name but, multiple identities on a site is something that's frowned upon for many good reasons.

The US. Sweden has laughable freedom of speech when you take into account political correctness. Not to mention its falling to pieces, not that your politicians will admit it.

As for helping other countries - what has Sweden ever done within anyone's living memory? Hide under the table?

A reality check is in order...

That would be subjective, but I read it twice. Once when I first saw it and again after tech explained what was going on. I understood it much better the second time.

Yes - the UN would think that. I was wondering what that "much ado about nothing" organisation does. Now I know. Thank you for sharing with me.

That is what is beginning to happen to Sweden. It is cracking open, lets face it.

I don't get it? A couple dozen young people rioted a year ago? What the hell is that supposed to prove?

Oh - it is one of many examples. You would know a bit more if your media were honest.

I am economically right-wing ( a pro capitalism) yet socially very liberal.

I always hated the lefty ideologies in my area , never saw people as hypocrites as they are.

I like the way you use language, you're a very good writer. However, you're making a general assessment regarding the hypocrisy of EVERYONE, not just "lefties". Everyone thinks they are "right" and "good", but that does not make them so. If you look hard enough, you will find this sort of hypocrisy on the right as well.
