Certainly back to Hoovervilles and Shantytowns. America was even more of a violent country then than than it is now. But from 1946 or so, right after the Second World War, through around 1963, America was about the most financially prosperous nation on earth.
Again though, this doesn't mean things were perfect or even close. It never is.
Not Sweden but its neighbour Denmark was in t( news yesterday. It was sad to see that the Prime Minister was attacked in the street. I was in Copenhagen a few weeks ago. It's not somewhere you'd expect to see trouble like that.
Jeg ogsaa, men Kobenhavn er blevet farlig. In '86, Olaf Palme was assassinated in Stockholm and now this in what many once considered the most peaceful metropolis anywhere, certainly in Europe!
Poland doesn't like or dislike anyone. On the other hand Polish people may like those or other people or a country. It is a question of a personal taste.
Just wondering whether you still maintain your love affair with Poland.
I suspect he's since run into too many resentful nationalists online blaming his country for the 'damn evil deluge that ravaged our brave and noble Polska!!!' Because Polish national grudges have no expiry date and are gripped with the whitest of knuckles.
Most foreigners like Poland until Poles change mind about it, which they do their utmost to at every opportunity.
I've always assumed Swedes are real men, but they turned out to be pu|ssies with good hairstyle...
I haven't got much time for Swedes but Danes are wonderful folks. Calm, funny, and they can chat up a woman in record time - great blokes. Danes are great people.
The Swedes I find much different from the Danes. The latter seem.far more laid back and way less standoffish and ceremonious than the former. It's even in their folk songs.
