Furthermore, the prisons in the nordic countries are among the few in the world which actively do practice rehabilitation rather than just "suck", as OP expressed it. I believe that is the reason the vegan diet was brought up as a

I live in a large Swedish city, and as a side-effect of my apartment being well-isolated from the cold during winter, it is also very silent. I do enjoy having access to near complete silence, to the point that I have avoided mechanical clo

I have done a lot of thinking about this lately. In my country a lot of the recent political discussions have revolved around the creation of jobs. Though their ideas differ, they all seem to agree that everyone who is able to work should h

Fonts do make a big difference. In the case of ReactOS however, the version you are showing seems to be from 2008. This is from a current version: http://cl.ly/image/0c0U1Q3l3Y1C

I'm Swedish too, and I disagree. I have often heard that Americans (and others) are surprised at the willingness of most Scandinavians to follow the official and unofficial rules of society. We are likely blind to it as we experience i
