    spitting on top of any ideal of women's and gay rights.
    I love Sweden too, but to do that I need to stop following the news and listening to critical voices, we have quite enough of those. Sweden is a good place to be if we could just for a moment look at the things we like and are proud of instead of constantly being reminded of everything that is bad, worse and worst.

    How long can they hide it from the Swedish people?

    Also Muslims in Birmingham have carried out their own testing of medium range missles.
    An interesting misconception about Sweden is that it's part of Scandinavia when in fact it's not. Scandinavia comprises Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Estonia, the Faroe Islands, and the Åland Islands, but not Sweden which opted out as it wanted to guard its neutrality in WW2.

    I'm puzzled by this logic. Please elaborate.

    In the English speaking world Scandanavia refers to the geographical
    Scandanavian Peninsula which it is hard to cop out of. Like saying
    Scotland wants to leave Great Britain.

    Scandanavia always refers to the 3 countries of Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
    (Sometimes Iceland and Finland are thrown in but I'm pretty sure that is incorrect)

    According to both Encyclopaedia Britannica and Wikipedia this is not the case at all. Sweden opted out of the collective defence agreement which eventually became NATO, but that's it. Both sources specify 3 definite countries - Norway, Sweden, Denmark - and a number of others are sometimes included.

    but I spent 3 hours lost in IKEA once and had a friend whose dad owned a Volvo.
    Well I've actually been to Sweden, several times, and I've seen it with my own eyes.

    Encyclopaedia Britannica and Wikipedia are part of the problem. I offer Alternative Facts.

    Scandinavia is Norway, Sweden and Denmark. I think you are getting confused. Finland is not in Scandinavia.


    Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland are all Nordic countries however.

    If DT thinks Fox News is Fake News, why does he believe the rubbish they publish? Maybe Alternative Facts could be more properly known as Fool Trump Facts.

    A psychiatrist will tell you their delusional patients have fake news but the truth is there is usually something in most things that people say even if it is only 1 percent truth. Nothing is black and white as some like to believe.

    And also people who point the finger at others have a good chance to be guilty of those same crimes because they, for whatever reasons, they were able to decipher it.
