'@NorwaySwedenDenmark' No, the welfare state have rotted away most of our sense, but our prosperity have been build on our rugged self sufficiency, formed from a harsh and unforgiving climate. What the welfare state does is that it makes us r-selective, like the people from the tropical regions, where food is plentiful and planning unnecessary.
I really admire the viking era, when we were so expansionist, so independent, so free. To be reduced to this... its shameful.
