However, I'd just as soon not deal with their tax rates.

Sir, whoever you are, thanks for representing our small community so well in the public eye...

With the number of negative comments creeping in here, I am not surprised the poor guy wants to remain incognito.

Everyone is entitled to relax, even Leaders. If he does it by playing WitP, surely it's better than the normal sleezy pastimes a lot of powerful men indulge in?

I think that, if it is true, that is really wonderful thing - why not having people playing WitP!

As for Sweden "bashing" I think there is no bad intent here - people are just trying to have some humor (I think we did "bash" almost every nation here in past 5+ years)...

BTW, one point made in this thread is really important clue - the Swedish prime minister is born in 1965 and and the collapse of the Soviet Union he would have been too young (25+ in 1990's) for KGB files... or perhaps this was meant to mean that KGB (or FSB nowadays) is still working as it always was (and in such case they would most certainly have his profile)...

Please explain to me how ridiculing others because of their nationality or because they like WITP is beneficial to this forum.


Lighten up! Life's too short to create controversy out of comments made in jest. That's the media's job. If the posters had intended their remarks to be offensive, I'm sure their comments would have been much more slanderous. Humerous comments in no way reflect disdain or disrespect towards the "object of our affection."

Your statement strikes me as one of "political correctness." The way I see it, there isn't a country in the world that doesn't have some humerous aspect to it including our own. We should be able to laugh at these aspects without being branded as an ignorant SOB. This forum is an international one with members from all over the world. Jestful barbs are traded all the time without intending to insult. If you really want to clean up a forum, head on over to the Madcow Steakhouse. I'm sure that they would listen to your comments with all due respect.

Hi all,

quote:

ORIGINAL: Japan

The Swedish Priminister was on Interwiev on TV today, and he talked about his Hobbies.

The Largest of His Hoppy was to play War in The Pacific, Aproksemetly 2 Hours Every Day.

He did not dare to say his Gaming Name, as it could cause Complications for him, however he sayed he used as Gaming name, the same name as KGB internaly had assigned to be his Codename back in Coald War Times...

So, if any of you would faind the Codename the KGB in the old days had for the man who today is the Swedish Prieminister, well then you will know his Gaming Name.

Apparantly he has played the game for 3 Years, and he playes also a game he sayed was called Read Alet, and one called The Korsum Pocket also, but not so often as this "War in the Pacific".

Well Sir, If you Read this I just wanna say that i dont hope you are easely effected by Computer games (no that was a joke) .. Anyway.. what i wanted to say was Good Work on your Policy (i voted for you), and give me a word if you want to take a Game one day.






Is this for real?


Leo "Apollo11"




Yes it is for real, im not kidding it was on TV in a interwiev about him and his life as prime minister ect..

I would call 'The Swedish Chef' a well loved (nostalgia based) character, and I'd imagine if you got the entire world population to vote on their least favourite nation Sweden would be somewhere near the bottom. If you genuinely think anybody here was ridiculing anyone then you are taking life and yourself far too seriously.

You should also stop playing Witp, which obviously celebrates one of the most heinous examples of man's inhumanity to man...

Rest assured, however, that nothing written so far in this thread have managed to offend me. On the contrary - I got those wonderful 'swedish chef' links to cheer me up. Haven't seen those since I was a little kid

I must also chime in with a couple of the other guys - Having [previously] absolutely no clue that our PM was a gamer, he's managed to move up a couple of notches in my eyes.

(It's just too bad that he's simultaneously in the process of disassembling the swedish defense forces. Sadly, IMHO, it's also mostly due to inept defense politics. )

By the way, what ever happened to the Danish Jews?



Danish Resistance managed to smuggle most of them to Sweden. Tragically, the last group was intercepted by the Gestapo (between 100 and 200 people) and went where all the Jews went the Gestapo got their hands on.

It is noteworthy that, when Hitler ordered that all Jews had to wear the "Judenstern" (a badge in the shape of a David's star in yellow bearing the word "Jude" (Jew) in black letters which had to be worn at all times on the outer clothing), the Danish King ostentatiously wore the Judenstern himself. After that, the German occupation authorities abstained from enforcing this particular regulation.
