Apparently just you mate.

Can't say I really like swedes but am happy to include them in my hearty chicken and veg soup.

Just in case I get called a racist....again!! I LOVE SWEDISH PEOPLE!

Swedish fish are ok as well...

Part of my ancestry is Swedish.

Don't mean shit.
You are where you grew up and live.
Genes do not carry culture and since we share 99% of our genes with Benobo that tiny 1% represents everything that is human and whatever minor physical individualities that make us individuals. What is left for "Swedishness". None.

So. Meh

Clearly it means something to BuzzCap and actually most people on the planet. Though I agree with your statement re culture, it's a shame that some people where that 1% is so relative to THEM don't identify with the culture they were either born into or migrated to.

There is nothing I love more than when I see a brown skinned fella, even a Muslim the other day I had a chat to online that is a proud Englishman and goes for Arsenal football team. People that see beyond that 1% and embrace the culture of the land they are part of - rather than those that want to ENFORCE their ancestral culture onto the local populous (as many Muslims DO).

I have been watching this lovely Muslim lady for a few months now - Candid with Lubna, she has read the entire Quran. She recently stated she no longer considers herself a Muslim, I just watched this video and I am sure you can understand what she means by "read between the lines" regarding what she is basically saying..poor thing.

There are too many Red Flags for me to ignore...

The question from the OP (Original Post) was, "Anyone Swedish here...".

I replied with, "Part of my ancestry is Swedish."

And you got "Clearly it means something to BuzzCap..." from the above.

That is 1) one awesome leap and 2) you are putting words and a statement in my mouth I never said.

Wow...ok then................

Yes, I thought I'd give you a little support there..sooo sorry now.

So.

1) Your statement:- "Part of my ancestry is Swedish." <--- meant nothing to you did it

2) My inferrence that the fact that you stated:- "Part of my ancestry is Swedish." ...must have some meaning to you was WRONG was it

So if I was born in China then I would be Chinese. The Chinese would beg to differ.

My friend...........you are overthinking it.

The question simply was, "Anyone Swedish here...". <-- That was the question.

My simple 6 word answer was ---->> "Part of my ancestry is Swedish."

I answered the question 100%. Totally. Fully. A 3 word question asked. A 6 word reply. End of story.

Well, until you came along and spun it. Inferred. Added stuff I never said. But you don't get that right?

This is (in part) where it goes wrong as well....when you added (to be clear, you, you, you, you, you added) "...must have some meaning to you was WRONG was it ".

I was not asked if being Swedish was meaningful to me.

Nor was anyone asked if being Swedish was meaningful to them.

Bottom line my friend, a question was asked and answered. It was all of your doings, your adding (inferring) content that was not there. THIS is what the politically left does ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the time. They make up stuff. They add stuff. Infer. They are deluded....change what was said, interpreted so the "narrative" fits THEIR bias line of thinking. <-- I learned this back in about 1979 - 1980 when I went to a political gathering in New Hampshire with (then FL Gov. Askew I think it was) and others gave a speech.

The Boston Globe covered the event. When I read the "Glob's" (sic) write up I was shocked. They SPUN EVERYTHING to their favor. My then GF, now wife was equally shocked!!!! I remember saying to my GF and her father, the "Glob" did not (and may not) have even gone up to hear the politicians speak. The Glob just made up "Fake News" EXACTLY as Trump calls it and then let the suckers read what the Gob said.............WHAT a super big disservice. But as they say, "Buyer Beware".

Anyway..........yuppers, I went "off topic". Just as well considering how the topic was going.

Stay well attofishpi and everyone else.........enjoy your day!

Even if it is just you, it still counts, so yes, there is someone Swedish here.
