The United States is a very large country. We are a country with over 300 million people living at any given time, within our borders. According to recent accounts, we add one new person every 30 seconds, and that new addition is not from birth increases.
We have as many opinions in this country as we do people - on every subject. At any given time we have Jerry Springer guests, some believe Elvis is alive, that UFOs fly our friendly skies, that bigfoot and creatures from middle earth transform into what appear to be earthlings, all the way over the ledge with the 9/11 conspiracies.
We do have our share of fruitcakes, nuts, fools, idiots, and retarded rodeo clowns, BUT that number is, as a whole, statistically insignificant. Less than 1% of a population at any given time is irrelevant as to what their opinions are, and we tend, generally, as Americans, to be middle-of-the-roaders (not to be mistaken for middle -earthers although the US is or could be in the middle of the earth depending on ones perspective.
The number of fools and idiots, nuts, and fruitcakes who believe the nonsense listed above are deserving of a strong suggestion that they not reproduce, for all our sakes. That is generally how Americans regard idiocy. Then we have the flavorful retarded rodeo clowns who run around screaming and hissing about repairing American relations around the world to a chorus of Amens. For me, the chorus is even more problematic than obsequious politicians. Mindless fools who like the sound of something and Amen it to death, who repeat the same mantra without evidence nor purpose - simply because they are the chorus.
In this case, it is the Swedes. While the article that follows is specific to Sweden, it can be generalized as originating out of the mindset of Scandinavians.
Do I care, that much? Not really, except stupid ideas have a way of trickling over here, and vice versa. It is the infection issue that creates opposition. if I knew with certainty the idea would live and die in Sweden, I would chock it up to stupid people and forget it.
I cannot find the article and Reuters does not have an archive for articles 4 years old. A good thing I have kept so many articles.
Stupid ideas
Sweden has been sorted.
