======================

 BF>> You lost me here.

 FS> Actually I've lost *myself* there ...

Then it can't be easy, eh..?

 BF>> That's what we say about the Norwegians.
 BF>> And they are at least 10 to move that ladder.......

 FS> And the Norwegians doubtless have a series of "Swedish" jokes ... heh heh
 FS> heh ... "How many Swedes does it take to paint a school
 FS> bus?"  "26 -- one to hold the paint brush and 25 to move the bus
 FS> up-and-down" ...

Don't think so. they aren't that bright.....
And how can they be, considering they are making lutfisk.

 BF>> See how easy it is to missunderstand when not knowing.

 FS> True ... I should take into account that you really *are* from and/or *in*
 FS> Sweden.  I've been dealing with FidoNet for over a couple of decades and
 FS> have run into all sorts of people pretending to be one thing.  However
 FS> they always trip themselves up eventually.

Que?
Am I not pretending or what?

 BF>> I could have called you a real bastard for calling your troops Enlisted
 BF>> Swein but
 BF>> instead I asked and now it isn't a problem.

 FS> I've been called worse ...

:-)


 BF>> And I based my opinion of what I saw.

 FS> Apparently the TV *you* saw didn't show as much as I saw -- and heard.

That might be but then you have to inform me.....

 FS>> I keep an open mind on *everything* ... even on the fact that you might
 FS>> not be from Sweden at all ...

If you don't trust my word, what else can I do?

 BF>> With my name I'm more likely to come from Sweden then Scheidt is to come
 BF>> from USA. Sounds like German to me.

 FS> Good guess, in that my parents were both born in Germany.  OTOH there
 FS> really *is* no such thing as an "American" name since this is largely a
 FS> nation of immigrants ... even the Indians (aborigines) migrated from Asia
 FS> thousands of years ago.

I more like names as Goodyear aso.

 FS> BTW, I had a friend in college many years ago named Yalti Einarson (I'm
 FS> no-longer sure of the spelling) who came from Iceland.  He told me if I
 FS> ever went to Reykjavik, Iceland, to phone his father who could contact
 FS> him.  I asked if his father spoke good English.  He said his father didn't
 FS> know *any* English ... so if I *had* gone there it would have been an
 FS> interesting conversation since *I* don't know any Danish ... heh heh heh
 FS> ...

It's the same here. I only speek Swedish and German so don't bother to come
to Sweden eiter.

 FS> There's a great deal of difference.  The Vietnam War proved to be
 FS> basically a *civil* war with north fighting south.  We had no business
 FS> there.  Saddam Hussein was financing terrorists in Palestine and there's
 FS> no reason to believe he wasn't financing *other* terrorists as well.  And,
 FS> of course, there was the intelligence information, which was proved false,
 FS> which indicated he had weapons of mass-destruction ...

I see your point and find it nice chatting with you, on the contrary to
others....

 BF>> Even Bush have said that bin Laden had nothing to do with Iraq.

 FS> True, but this is a "war" on *terrorists*, not just on bin Laden.

I know, but this war must never the less be fought in the right way or you
loose
the support from others.


 FS> Actually I *don't* believe only what I want to believe.  There are a *lot*
 FS> of things I believe which I wish I *didn't* believe. For example, if that
 FS> Marine really *did* commit a war crime I'd want him punished
 FS> appropriately.  However from what I read and saw and *heard* on that tape
 FS> he did the proper thing.  The investigation will determine if he did or
 FS> not.

Sure, I fully agree.

 FS> BTW, your "new-Nazis" are called "neo-Nazis" ... "neo", of course, *means*
 FS> "new" ...

Whatever, they are still bastards.
And do you know, a few ot 'em was even voted into council in Trollhättan, the
town where SAAB is made but I think they are gone by now.
How stupid can one be?
