My entire family is from Sweden. I was the first born here. Should I pillage and plunder?

As a Christian, if you support this or make excuses for it, you are a scumbag.

I met my husband in church back when we were nine. Years and years of dating others, we finally hooked up. Married at the same church we met in, had both our kids baptised in. Haven’t been back in over 15 years.

Yup.

This is off topic but I hope is welcomed here, especially in light of Trump. Forgive the long rant.

I truly adore how people think Donald Trump, a man who has been around for decades in my lifetime, known only to be a playboy and all around scumbag is somehow going to “wise” up in his waning years to be presidential.

I love that you mention this. Many, if not most of the kings, were terrible at war, spending and everything else. Their titles and accolades were ridiculous. A woman who stabilised a nation after years of war got the title of “Virgin”. Um, yeah.

The Vasa Museum in Stockholm confirms your suspicions. The Vasa, being the only surviving Viking ship in existence, shows clear evidence that women aboard were not prostitutes, nor maids. They were warriors.

I know I am late to this discussion and am not remotely in this field. That said, from the several books I have read about this, it is due to women being largely written out of history (in the important sense) once Christianity came to be. Am I wrong about this??

The snark about Norwegians was just that, snark. As a Swede, it is my duty to mock Norway. All joking aside though, it is an awesome country with incredible people. Norway is wonderful.

My best friend is 5'1. Her husband........not from Scandinavia, rather Germany, is 6'7. The oddest paring if height is all that mattered. He used to date only tall women, as it felt weird to him. He fell in love with my short friend though. They are perfect in every way. He plays volleyball as a hobby and she runs…

Yes, yes you can. October gets even cheaper as that country gets colder. 😉

Haha. All I can say is I doubt you are lacking in female admirers.

My female cousin is 6'5. I’m the shortest in the bunch at 5'10. My Swedish relatives all swear it is corn syrup prevalent in American diets. Eh, I don’t know.

Yes, I know. Scandinavia does however produce much taller than average people. I’m of course partial to Sweden.

As the daughter of two immigrant Swedes, if you ever want a fuckaction, go to Sweden/Norway. The tallest, built and Thor like humans on the planet are in Stockholm/Oslo. My husband is 6'3" and felt short his entire time there. He’s of Norway blood though..........one of the biggest jokes between the two countries.

Nope. These aren’t first drafts.

A worthless Brit. Unlike the countless others who are awesome.

How dare you! He doesn’t make bad Nazi jokes.....he makes great ones.

Paul “Hollywood” always has an excuse, doesn’t he? When he cheated on his wife with his then American bake off coworker, he blamed it on sudden fame in North America.
