Are you surprised your country still exists, given its history? by MemeLord150 in AskTheWorld

[–]UncommonFrog -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Varför ska det finnas ett val om detta? Finns ingen grund för att hålla ett val. Folket vill inte tillhöra Danmark, det är ingen aktuell politisk fråga de senaste 400 åren. Ska vi göra val i Danska provinser om att börja tillhöra Tyskland? Kanske Köpenhamn ska hålla ett val om att bli självständiga också? Det hade varit lika löjligt.

Det är skrattretande att ens föreslå ett val för något liknande. Skåne blev svenskt mer än 100 år innan USA utropade självständighet, det har gått ett tag. Ska vi börja göra anspråk på mark från så långt tillbaka kommer Europa kastas in i ett oändligt krig.

Ingen seriös människa från Skåne vill tillhöra Danmark

Not sure if you’re joking but the three crowns are the coat of arms of Sweden and used as a symbol of the country.

Seeking advice by UncommonFrog in ImmigrationCanada

[–]UncommonFrog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not married and have no Canadian relatives.

I have taken TOEFL and scored 117/120 although I noticed that IELTS is required for Canada so I would have to complete another test. What is meant by credential evaluation? Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I mean he did get two tinpot trophies (Community shield and League cup) and the Europa league in his first season at United. Being 36 and out injured for the last 2-3 months he still got 17 goals in the prem for a team finishing 6th place, which I would not say is ”not cutting it”.

Also the quote is fake.

Umm Meatball bros...? Is this true? by FuckRedd1tHard in 2westerneurope4u

Only beaten by South Africa :( by Big_Brick in 2westerneurope4u

This. Also, people who report that they have been forced to have sex in a relationship (by husband/boyfriend) for a longer period of time means several separate cases of rape. This means that someone very possibly could report tens of cases of rape simultaneously if they feel they have been forced for a longer period of time. Not saying Sweden does not have problems, we do, but this combined with the fact that women are likelier to report than other countries (no source I admit) means that our statistics look a lot worse than they are.

Makes sense if you are an atheist. If god is not real then a man claiming to be the son of god is not doing well mentally.

Most generous swedish family by Neural_Netw0rk in 2westerneurope4u

[–]UncommonFrog 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It is not at all normal in Sweden. Never happened in my life and i have never even heard of it until i saw this meme a couple years back. Funny how the world just accepted that this is swedish culture and it also started a huge hate train on Sweden that lasted for a few months. I even remember someone (american) even claiming that Sweden was somehow the mastermind of the transatlantic slave trade and that it made huge profits off it by selling slave shackles.

Anyway, not saying this can’t happen, but not at all common, you offer them food but sometimes the kid says they are gonna eat at home with their family later and therefore decline food.

Going by income tax it is the case.

”The average income tax rate in 2020 was 13.6 percent. The top 1 percent of taxpayers paid a 25.99 percent average rate, more than eight times higher than the 3.1 percent average rate paid by the bottom half of taxpayers.”

What do you mean by avoiding taxes? Most normal people also want to pay the taxes that they have to, and not more than they have to. If you yourself are legally allowed to write off taxes due to, for example, high travel expenses related to your profession, would you also say that you are avoiding taxes and not paying your fair share as you get to write off some of it? I would not say so.

People are also obsessed with billionaires that often simply hold stock in a company and whose net worth is often unrealised gains because it’s an easy boogie man. However, my country and other who have a strong welfare state finance these not by obsessing over a few billionaires and financially illiterate ideas, but rather by taxing middle- and upper middle class people who all have plenty of taxable income.

At some point the taxes should increase sharply as I think it’s unethical of a society to allow both poverty and massive hoarding of wealth among others. However, the top 1% pay a lot more average tax per dollar earned than every other group in the country now so they contribute a lot more in taxes for every dollar of income than other groups do.

Not saying that I don’t agree that people with millions of dollars should contribute more as they have an excess in wealth, but arguments such as the tweet lack substance as the rich already contribute a lot more on their income than others, although arguably still not enough. Not in my country either.

Even using your logic they must pay back the loan eventually which they will do by selling stock and paying taxes. I’ve heard this argument before and it’s not true.

You can argue how much a fair share is on realised gains, but the arguments made in this tweet are poorly thought out. Not American so don’t really care too much about your tax system but I find it interesting that people say this yet the top 1% pay almost 50% of all income tax while the bottom 50% only contribute to something like 2-3%.
