You keep referring to "money hungry". Some people, Kex, especially business owners, might define that as trying to be profitable. Something to consider the next time you put this characterization on American companies. ![]() Topic: has there ever been a severe drought in Sweden? |

There's a difference between trying to be profitable and actively running into every corner milking money from EVERY spot, negating ANY chance for ANY small business to EVER establish and grow. Which, by the way, is the general theme of a large number of American companies. Which is why I refer to them as money-hungry. I'm not saying there are no Swedish companies who do the same (IKEA springs to mind), but in general this is something more closely associated with USA. Topic: No, I don't recall hearing of any droughts in Sweden. |

Since when have you become an expert on corporations in the United States? And one other thing: I don't recall seeing you taking any swipes at non-American companies. That, young man, is one reason why I get the impression from time to time that you've some kind of axe to grind against my country. I'm not to going to post a question here because, well, at the moment I don't really give a damn about it. |

Never said I was. They just are very visible on the international scene.
That's because they never came into the subject. The only time I recall I've been complaining about companies in general was regarding Halloween being brought to Sweden, which was largely due to American companies. I dislike many details of your country, but I also dislike a lot of details about mine, many other countries. No country is perfect. Not USA, not Sweden, not France, not Russia, not Japan, not China, not Britain, none. I don't have a specific grudge against the United States.
I see, and I'm sorry if I seem offensive. |

It is the exception. It is, however, growing due to the increasing power of the National Democratic party (Translation: Retarded Racist party). |

Well, there's Storsjöodjuret (Great Lake Beast/Monster), a serpentine monster in Storsjön, similar to legends such as the Loch Ness monster. It used to be considered endangered, but was taken off the list because of lack of evidence for its existence. Some people have claimed to have seen mountain trolls. Me, I say they were probably startled by bears. |

Would you be even the least bit surprised if I told you I have absolutely no idea what the character in your avatar is? Note: your avatar dimensions are 147x161 pixels. Any way you could get that down to 125x125(as per the rules of this board regarding max avatar dimensions)? Thanks.

No, I'm not surprised at all. It is the robotic Adjutant from the space strategy game Starcraft 2.![]() The Adjutant's appearance in the first game. Her role was to inform the player of enemy attacks, resource/energy shortages and act as a general advisor and computer. I expect her role will be identical in the next game. |

And I expect my ignorance about video games and video game characters to continue unabated into the foreseeable future.

Yes. The Swedish prime minister, Fredrik Reinfeldt (Who, due to incredibly stupid decisions, will not be re-elected) approvingly stated that he and Obama have the same politics. I don't think they do, myself. Reinfeldt seems to ambitiously work for a 1984-like environment.. not that he'd succeed. |
