I was too busy being shocked about the organ found in the condiment bottle... but hey, it could happen in any country, right???

The post was not about Swedes, but rather disgusting things in ketchup. So don't take it too seriously.

They are now more "obsessed with sex" than a secular person in other Western societies, no more than a secular Israeli, infact. It is also unfair to compare to USA, where 50 million people are fundemental Christians who don't practice premarital sex (and obviously manage to influence people around them, to an extent), as well as the various ethnic groups in USA who don't practice premarital sex. Swedes are lutherans, and most of them are non religious people with your average, modern attitude towards life. I have encountered a lot of people from all over the world in my lifetime. If I were to say that a certain country has more promiscuous inhabitants than others, I would name Americans. Secular American women (at least the ones I've known, and I've known many, and I am 500% certain that I know more Swedes than you, or any non-Swede who reads this), are often very ready to have numerous sex partners that they don't know well. More so than Scandinavian women. It's their choice though... So anyway. Drop the stereotyping, Dave ;) It’s unfair to stereotype Swedes in that way, though.

I'm terribly sorry but I'm afraid I have to steal this one. Well it’s a good thing she was LUCKY ENOUGH to discover it. I’m terribly sorry but I’m afraid I have to steal this one.
