I Googled hand ball and found some variations on this sport. Are you referring to this kind of handball? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frisian_handball I have a question for you, based on these three words: is this an indictment of any sport you don't approve of, labeling it as "stupid"? Or is your use of the word "stupid" included because you believed I was referring to something American? |

1: No, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Team_handball that one. It's almost always referred to as Handball. 2: I referred to American handball as "that stupid American sport" due to myself finding it stupid and also American. Kind of hard to find something American to be not American.. >_> |

16 for part-time jobs, 18 for full-time jobs. Though no one in their right mind gets a full-time job at the age of 18. |

The view of the police is "ineffectual", mostly due to their strained budget. |

Would you say, Kex, that the majority of Swedish people take some interest in world politics or do they generally not really give a damn about the political landscape outside their own country?

No, most people have at least enough interest in politics to know who they're going to vote for. And that's a good thing; we have plenty of parties to choose from. Personally I favor the Social Democrats in this election due to a new law the current ruling party got through, which is an intrusion on privacy. |

Yes, there are plenty of humor comics, of which the most notable ones are "Elvis", "Rocky", "91:an" (Number 91, referring to a soldier), and "Herman Hedning" (Herman Heathen). Most popular children's comic is "Bamse", who is an antropomorphic bear in blue clothes who gains superstrength from a special honey his grandmother prepares (And she is very old, but it doesn't really show). This comic is extremely beloved in Sweden. I personally grew up with it, with my favorite character being Vargen (The Wolf), who started out as a villain but became a good guy who hangs out with Bamse and his friends these days. The comic has been suspected of being communist in nature, but that doesn't really matter to most people. Back in the forties, we also had superhero comics such as Allan Kämpe and Dotty Virvelvind (Dotty Whirlwind), but in modern day there are rarely any serious-minded attempts to make superhero comics in Sweden. Manga-style comics are occasionally published. The first Swedish manga-styled comic was one about a female sports commentator in Buster, a comic book for soccer fans. |
