Just for thread integrity, if you are going to insult a president and try to make him look an idiot please proofread and make sure your grammar is correct. If not you look like a moron. 

English is not my first language and I think most can overlook my grammar. 

Now think how moronic people whos using it to attack me must be looking?

I lived in Spain for some time in 2000 and was very respectful when talking to citizens; I definitely would never try to insult or make fun of someone else unless I knew my grammar was 100% legit.   

Here's the thing. You can find examples on here where SC's grammar and vocabulary are quite great, and then you can find examples on here where they're just poor enough to be ambiguous or notable (and often followed up by a 'please excuse my poor English' type comment). That's a very typical internet troll behaviour and provides an easy out. From what I see on here, this likely has nothing to do with grammar or English abilities, and everything to do with respect (and the lack thereof), which is why I don't think it's fair to project onto all of Sweden the characteristics SC exhibits. I have to believe Sweden can (and I'd assume currently already does) do so much better.

As an aside, where in Spain were you? I love that country so much - especially the Basque region near the French border.

I lived in Seville back in 2000 for a few months.  I absolutely loved the country: went to Madrid and San Sebastian (the Basque region!), ran with the bulls at Pamplona, visited Portugal on the weekends....man what fantastic memories.  
And you are definitely right about the grammar and how sometimes it is an easy out (calling russel a liar as an example).

Ok. 

Well I, and many others, are not you. 

No need for insecure attacks on other peoples grammar because you guys voted in Trump. 

And I have no reason to obligaton to respect Trump. Or him being able to be elected. 

If you wanna respect Trump and his minions. That is your weird problem.

I also do not live in the US. 

Not sure who you are talking about but my presidential voting history is:
Clinton
Gore
Kerry (what ever happened to John Edwards?)
Obama
Obama
Clinton

Nope it's your fault.  You didn't vote enough.  You could have REALLY made Jersey go D. Take ownership and stop lying.

FTR, not very. 

Remember education is free in Sweden...it looks like they get what they for...

It's the rich poor education divide in Sweden where the taxes are regressive.  Fucking bass ackward, that's for sure.  But that's his problem.  Im focused on making my country better.  Glass houses and all..

I think the majority of people focus on wanting to make their country better, nothing wrong with that...

The US will be fine, in 2 or 6 years...

Agreed.  We had one bump in the road and then things will be a ok.  

Exactly... besides, the individual states allowed to have their own plan for things like the environment?  And other such things...Let's see if Bloomfield follows through on his 500 million dollar plan to close coal plants, then who is going to pay for the green energy projects.  And I hope they do not look at Ontario's Green Energy plan...we were paying through the nose for hydro...then the liberal government borrowed a ton and lowered rates...that was done a year before an election...vote buying...the problem starting next year the rates will start to go up and up, unless our year-old government has a plan...without a plan some say our hydro bills will double by 2025.

A consortium of private businesses guaranteed a 25 year purchase of electricity from a solar farm, removing one old coal fired plant from the grid. The US currently has one off shore wind farm. Public/private investment in clean energy production is the future. Time to acknowledge that, invest and move on. Stop “digging” coal.

I agree with you but what happens to all the people in the coal industry once it gets shut down?  I would imagine whole towns would cease to exist.

It needs to happen over time and those coal miners need to be retrained in solar panel and wind tower production, installation and maintenance, or other types of jobs. Incentives should be offered to wind and solar companies to locate and hire those affected in coal producing areas, if possible. However, there’s always winners and losers in a “free” market.
