I'm tired of people online like you calling us lazy for building a humane society.

Nice strawman argument, and ageism.



Did I call you lazy?

If you felt that I said your lot is lazy, that was a misunderstanding. A miscommunication.

For the record, I'll state it explicitly: I do not think people of Sweden (and the Scandinavians in general) are lazy.

There. I said it.

I have been as explicit as I possibly could, even though there's no reason for me to explain myself to a random rude person on the internet.

In my native language there's a saying that roughly translates to: don't climb up a ladder to get in the way of a bullet going across the sky.

I've committed this mistake.

Let's end this discussion.


On a technicality, if you start calling people 12, bored and possibly even lazy you shouldn't be asking to 'end the discussion' as if you suddenly have been granted the moral high ground.

GPs comment has plenty wrong with it but yours (multiple) does too.
