Capitalism

Many obese people, especially those in their mid-40's

Many people, teens, adults tend to get drunk as f*** in bars

No schools or classes for aspies

Sweden

Ups;

I don't know if it's true, but they say that some Swedes are cold

Sweden has a better football team. Having said that, I was a big admirer of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Erik Thorstvedt was a great goalkeeper and Steffen Iversen will always be remembered for scoring the goal that got us (Spurs) to Wembley in 1999. Incidentally, the guy who got the winner in the final was Danish (Allan Nielsen).

Sweden

Ups:

Henriksson is Swedish.

Norway

Downs:

Henriksson is not Norwegian.

In all seriousness, I don't think there is too much of a difference between the two countries in terms of living.

Sweden is where The Pirate Bay is from, plus The Pirate Party are the third biggest Swedish political party! That wins it for me!

Weather is a matter of opinion. In Norway I had a situation it was storming, raining and mist at the same time; never seen so bad weather again. In Sweden a lot of snow, never seen so much snow again. But the snow was fun.

And coldness of people? It depends who you meet. I felt really at home when I was in Sweden, people were nice to me and they explained a lot.

The Scandians block a lot of the rain coming through the border to Sweden, and as a result it doesn't rain that much over here.

You're right though, at least from a non-Scandinavian standpoint, there's very little difference between the two countries so a compare-contrast seems funky.
As for "Capitalism" and "Obese people", bdhkhsfgk, you ain't seen capitalism or obese people until you see them in the US! :lol:

I have heard that the Swedish health-care may be even better than the Norwegian one, that Swedes are "one step closer" in health.
