O.....kay?

Well happy Nation Day of Sweden, i have some freinds in Sweden, ill have to e-mail them.

I didnt expect someone to make a thread about it

Congratulations.

Double party, as it is also my birthday.

Triple celebration as the 6th of June is also D-Day, the day the allied forces landed in Normandy.

Just read on a swedish newssite,one woman wrote that the national anthem of sweden is brutal and wrong. She wants to remove the old one and update it with democratic and peaceful content. x)....

(Re)gaining independence is always a happy day.

Happy birthday! http://i.imgur.com/SxRf5RE.jpg

Lyrically.

Thanks.

I for one would like to congratulate Sweden on their national day. And also say I'm disappointed that real-life Sweden, unlike Sweden in Empire: Total War, has yet to conquer all of Europe.

Seriously, in every game Sweden becomes a superpower.

Appereantly this is the wrong and brutal verse

Seriously? God forbid she ever lives in France or the UK considering how La Marseillaise talks about spreading German and English guts on French fields and God Save The King used to have a line about killing Scots (which needs to be put back in).

They invaded us once and caused destruction more extensive than that during WW2. I'd prefer it if they refrained from further conquest.

This is silly. Every nation likes to remember the days of its greatest glory and the Swedish anthem is actually one of the most peaceful I know.

Sorry,well. If it helps,I can trace my family back to danish kings,who were the enemies of many swedish kings. ....

And yes,it is silly,The swedish media is really silly.
