That´s fine Karl. I hate you too.

Slate on Woodwards new book:

Page 250: Karl Rove, a Norwegian-American, is obsessed with the "historical duplicity" of the Swedes, who seized Norway back in 1814. This nationalism manifests itself as hatred for Swedish weapons inspector Hans Blix.

:lol:

I read about this in the local paper during my coffe break at work today and nearly broke a rib laughing. What is wrong with that guy?! "The historical duplicity of the Swedes"? What did we ever do (aside from inventing long-legged, busty blondes of course)?

Do we have any Norwegians on the board who can explain this to me? I mean, I can understand if the Danes or the Russians hate us. Even the Finns have a pretty good reason if you go back to the middle ages, but what did we ever do to the Norwegians that was so horrible? Last time I checked we had a record of 0 Norwegian cities burnt and 0 genocides on the Norwegian people. Have I missed something or is Karl Rove imbalanced?

Should I start stashing weapons in the woods?

Jeg vil ha igjen Jemtland og Herjedalen!

Bring it on!

Um . . . Sköl! :drink:

Why would anyone want Jämtland and Härjedalen anyway? There´s nothing there. If it wasn´t for the principle of it I think we would have given them back long ago.

I think Jämtland might try to break loose and create a republic if we loosened our grip on them. Maybe we should just let you guys deal with them. Troublemakers they are, the Jämts.

For the non-scandinavians here, Jämtland and Härjedalen are two landscapes in northern Sweden.

.....that were stolen from Norway when the union broke.

I think, i slept during history classes :lol:

As far as I know all the scandinavian countries should be at odds if we follow his reasoning.

I mean, Denmark once lorded it over the entirety of Norway, Sweden stole Skåne, Halland and Blekinge from Denmark and so the list goes on.

Since we have learned the fine art of "forgiving".


BTW, if that moron ever tried to push his screed to the norwegians he would be booed out. Even the neo- and crypto-****stic elements would recognise the swedes as "aryan brothers".

HEY!

Don't drag russia into this.

 

[DurfBarian]

Did you know Russia has beaten Finland in more than 40 wars but never taken over any Finnish territory?

EDIT: I don't know if the Finns lost all those wars, but the wars all took place. The guide was very proud of this factoid when he brought it up incessantly that day in Helsinki.

I am Norwegian and Swedish, and yes, I can explain it to you: Karl Rove is an idiot.

Next question?
