Though in Sweden it's actually worse to claim that you're intelligent and well educated (even if you are) than saying that you're good looking etc etc. Agreed. Here everyone needs to be "equal" in everything.

I don't know if its the same in NZ as it is over here in Oz, but it isn't socially acceptable to talk about how good looking you are as that is seen as being vain or stuck up.

The latter is what I support, as a socialist meritocrat.

They've banned the kids from celebrating Father's Day and Mother's Day, since some poor kids don't have a father or mother.

My kids have been allowed to, all the way. My best Father's Day cards were made by them i school. Some of them are hilarious.
Yeah, could be, but I haven't heard of it before, I must admit.
My little brother made my mum a mothers' day thing at nursery (I am in the UK)
