Lit needs a, Sweden, fuck yeah!, thread. :laugh:

I don't know if there's jingoism in Sweden. :laugh: Perhaps it should be titled "Sweden, if you please?"
Am guessing he'd post it in Latin. :laugh:

Once upon a time Sweden was very jingoistic, like when Tegnér wrote that poem, for instance.

It's interesting that you chose that. The convention of Europe being "the west" and Asia being "the East" is older than America. It was probably created by some Roman.

A different west and a different east, though.

But it's just a cartoon I found vaguely amusing this morning.

Maps in American schools used to really look like that, with North America as the center of the world. Never met anyone who didn't get eastern and western nations though.

As opposed to European maps, which center on England. :zoinks:

I'm used to European maps. I don't see many like this picture; I assume because it's more natural to keep Asia intact.

There is only one truth and it is that people do have penises of different sizes and one of them is the longest.

Good point. Never really thought of it like that.

Probably because of the GMT, though.

It's not arbitrary. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwich_Mean_Time  Blame your nationalism on something else. :P
