Where would you rather live the US or Sweden

We actually have all four seasons here in New Jersey, I really don't see Sweden having those four defining seasons.  Summer temps there wouldn't be what I am used to.  I mean my pool was 89 today, seems like it would be too cold for me in Sweden.  Plus no ocean.

We had 24 degrees celsius (Which is the normal way to measure temperature, as everyone knows) where I live today. Summer enough.

Get with the god damn times. Haha.

Because of the widespread adoption of the metric system, most countries worldwide – including non-metric Liberia and Burma – use Celsius as their official temperature scale. Only a few countries use Fahrenheit as their official scale: the United States, Belize, Palau, the Bahamas and the Cayman Islands. 

Ha!  Relentless.  

When Sweden puts a person on the moon I ll switch to Celsius.  Until then I am good with 212 and 33.

Can you think of anything you do think Sweden does better than the US? If not using the metric system.

We definitely speak English better.
Remember my sentence about putting people on the moon?

Haha, have you listened to any of Trump's speeches?

What did PJ_Soul say about the sarcasm. 

And please write "Långskepp" like a real viking. And Vindöga instead of window. And ombudsman instead of ombudsman.

Kanye West, Kim Kardashian Lobbied Trump for A$AP Rocky’s Release, Source Confirms

Sources say that West urged Kardashian, who met with the president about prison reform earlier this year, to contact Trump’s son-in-law and senior advisor Jared Kushner. He took the matter to the president, who encouraged him to get involved, as did Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

Time to make a choice @mrussel1  -   Sweden or Jared Kushner?

You are confusing. I don't even understand that rationale.

Dude they speak English better than us, take a masters course for Christ’s sake. 

Is this some meme that I doubt even @mrussel1 gets?

There are 30+ ketchup choices at my grocery store. Even Heinz has a natural/organic option without all of the shit in it. And a salt free version, and a honey instead of sugar version, etc... So that meme is a little wonky. If people are still buying the sugary version, it is because they want to. We have plenty of options here.

So, that picture still says something. Even if you can pick whatever. We also have different versions, including completely sugar free options. Doesn't take away from the point of the picture - you little corn syrup loving rascals leading the obesity league. 

Yes, that picture says that they took an exceptionally limited view of the food options we have in this country and used their biased editorial opinion to select one of hundreds of options to use in a meme to produce some sort of emotion or reaction, whether that be acceptance and bias confirmation from you, or an argument from me. So job well done on the meme, which provides no useful information. 

It is still the same product offered from two different countries, and shows a huge difference. Obviously it says something. Whatever other options you do have. Like every country has options. 

Obesity league extraordinaire. 

Choice is a great thing. This country is diverse. There are parts of the country where obesity is rampant due to many factors from lack of exercise to poor choices when purchasing ketchup, to lack of education. What are you suggesting with this tangent anyway? That based on ketchup ingredients, the UK is preferable to the US when it comes to a decision about where to live?

It was a "lagom" tounge-in-cheek response to @brianlux . And I would imagine he would get that., because he likes Neil Young. I do understand the US is diverse - I mean it's your number one fall back together with "so big". 

And I don't think anyone would decide where to live because of ketchup (But I do think ketchup is a good example if you want to get a hint of the differences in the bottom baseline for food quality).

SC, have you ever been to the U.S.? 

Yes I have
