A Swedish political party is taking a stand against upright urination.
At a county council meeting Monday, the Left Party, or Vänsterpartiet, tabled a motion that would require office washrooms to be genderless with a sit-down-only requirement, reported the news agency Tidningarnas Telegrambyrå.

That party is more feminist than left.They used to be communist,but the way they interpreted communism would have made east german and soviet communists hang their head in shame.Unfortunately I live in a country where some parties are very keen on social experiements.One party wants a law that will force private companies to have 50%
women in the boardroom.Some even want to change the way you discribe people (gendervise).An example:han=he,hon=she,but instead they want to use the word hen.
The reason is because that is a gender neutral word.
Just so you know:I think it`s crazy so you don`t have to insult me.If I was the boss you`d see some radical changes!

Funny thing:the wealtfare officer for the swedish forces in Afghanistan has just said that you can`t legislate away the physical demands that war places on a soldier.There has been some comments from politicians that the physical fitness standards are too high.Interesting thing is that the welfare officer is a woman.
So,not everyone is a fuckwit here in our eurofag paradise.

Americans still think of Sweden as a tightly regulated social-welfare state, but in the last two decades the country has been reformed. Public spending has fallen by no less than one-fifth of gross domestic product, taxes have dropped and markets have opened up.
The situation is similar in the other Scandinavian countries, the Baltic nations and Poland. But no turnabout has been as dramatic as Sweden's.
Sweden's traditional scourge is taxes, which used to be the highest in the world. The current government has cut them every year and abolished wealth taxes. Inheritance and gift taxes are also gone. Until 1990, the maximum marginal income tax rate was 90 percent. Today, it is 56.5 percent. That is still one of the world's highest, after Belgium's 59.4 and there is strong public support for a cut to 50 percent.

You should try to live with our taxes on electricity.
I always dread the arrival of winter (although I love snow).
The bills are crippling!

I've heard those Swedish winters are brutal. Does your ass ever get frozen to the toilet seat when you pee?
