It sucks that in England Virgin Media bought out the only Cable Broadband provider on the market. Now Virgin Media are capping their "unlimited" broadband after a small threash hold of bandwidth is met each day. Just because they are too tight to upgrade their servers and would much rather reduce customer service insted.
To make matters worse Virgin Media have also started monitoring peoples traffic and cutting off people suspected of dowloading copywrited material. Without any solid proof. This is just to protect their own interests as they also own a large record label.
On a bigger scale the British Phonographic Society is trying to push a law through Government making it manditory for ISPs to monitor internet traffice and cut off any suspected offenders. This would no doubt increase the cost of broadband and more importantly be a severe breach of the Data Protection Act.
Anyway really what I'm really saying is the Government doesnt give two shits about the voters or freedom of information but tries to appease the jurrassic record companies that have no place in this digital age of free distribution.

Sweden sucks because its people are boring and dont like strangers. You cant start up a conversation with someone that dont know you, they just look at you strange.
I hate the sucky winters with no sunlight, everyone gets depressed and our suicide rate goes up.

I laugh a little every time Americans complain about the gas prices. Granted it's pretty bad compared to the previous couple of years but it's not worth whining about when you do the exchange rates and see what most European countries are forking over at the pump. It's all about perspective I suppose.
pretty sure most europeans don't drive 40 miles a day like i had to do through all of high school. america's really spread out compared to most of europe and i'd be the average miles driven for an american is more than that of a european.
oh also i'm $21000 in debt because i have to pay for my own college, and i'm 19 years old. i think americans have a right to complain about it given the circumstances.
but i take the bus, so i don't give a shit

That we have even higher gas prices then USA here in Sweden

The FRA-law is retarded. Having to pay for college/university is really horrible, I can't imagine what it's like. The only thing we have like that in Sweden are student loans, but thats only to pay for living, the actual college/university is free.
The worst thing going on in Sweden in recent times is the state selling out alot of welfare-based companies. I mean competition is something that belongs in the market, with products and shit, not schools competing for students or hospitals competing for patients. Thats just morbid.

I'll never understand homophobes, really. Have you thought about the fact that there will be 1 more girl theoretically available for you for 1 less hetero?  If you're hetero, you should be HAPPY about more homos. Really.

dunno why but i really like this thread :D
sweden can sometimes get really boring, if you wanna go out clubbing here you better have your friends with you cuz you most probably won't meet anyone new because everyone wants to be so cool and be at the best places and it's like no one wants to have fun

umm... i don't think it works that way... assuming that the proportion of gays and lesbo is equal then it just means less pussies for everyone else.
