It's meaningFUL and is merely another way of saying that Sweden will eventually see the error of her ways, are you able to grasp simple eighth grade language?

The Swedish Model has been under considerable strain for some time now. Rather than being crushed under the weight of excessive gov't spending, I believe the challenge has been the lasting effects of Reaganism on struggling socialist democracies.

Perhaps, but although it's been a while since I was last in Poland, according to recent webcam footage, the old, drab architecture has changed considerably.

Coming from an Anglo-Saxon culture, I can imagine that a formerly Black Market culture could be extremely daunting, to say the least.

At least in the States, political correctness is admittedly the often misguided attempt to undo, redress, past wrongs meted out against those in our society whose sole "crime" was/is NOT being mainstream. In Poland, I've observed the famous handkiss over many years and as a man, I see nothIng particularly offensive, certainly demeaning, therein. However, this shouldn't of course ever license to abuse a woman as fair game by men who have no standards of common decency:-)

History / Poland or Germany: Which country rebuilt more of its architecture? [5]
What many abroad don't realize is that compared with Germany, Poland was dirt poor after the war! Naturally, even with an essentially wrecked infrastructure, it took the Germans but several years of unceasing, methodical labor to all bv resurrect their country. Warsaw's downtown took roughly twenty some years to rebuild, from '47 - '68, not out of sloth, but rather poverty.
