Is there a place where I can get this printed on a beach towel? I want to be ready for my next vacation in South Carolina (yearly family gathering).

When raggare first appeared, they caused a moral panic with concerns about the use of alcohol, violence, high-speed driving, and having sex in the back seat. Raggare gangs were seen as a serious problem.

The Raggare (difficult word to translate without writing a paragraph) subculture is entertaining if mostly awful but in regards to the flags and stuff they are fairly innocent because they don't really know or care what the flag represents to others, they have more in common with bikers and a "live free or die" mentality than with americans wanting the confederacy to rise again.



That means "Preserve the Swedish Raggare-culture." and they wear this on shirts, oblivious to the irony.

I think they only reason they use the flag is because it was in Dukes of Hazzard.

It was, actually. One of the initiators of the separation was a debate about whether a state had the right to strip incoming immigrants of their personal possessions, if said possessions were legally acquired in another state. Guess what possessions the south was concerned about.

So, according to Wikipedia, they're like Scandinavian Greasers.

quote:

Cars are an important part of the subculture, especially V8-powered cars and other large cars from the USA.[3] Statistically, the most common raggare car (Swe raggarbil) is the 1960s Pontiac Bonneville They are plentiful, classic, relatively cheap, and have a huge backseat so the Raggare can pile in all of their friends

Honestly they sound like a blast to ride with. I also now want a fintail Mercedes because I love both of those things, so they're doing something right.

It's seen as a generic American symbol in Europe. You think random people here have an in-depth knowledge about the Civil War? It's just like how some people will refer to Americans as 'Yankees' without knowing about the connotations that that word has in the US itself.

I can't help but notice that it's assumed in the patent that the intended audience will be watching/doing something with a person shooting someone else in the chest. Then the ad interrupts, commanding the user to praise heaven with the name of McDonald's, and the user is rewarded with the continuation of people getting shot in the chest.

This has to be an American idea :911:

Officially, no. It's called a "Wii Remote."

You gotta love these guys at these large corporations that are just so sure everyone will call their devices/accessories by their full name, and not shorten it to something easier/funnier/dirtier.

The X-Box One is a great example, too. Did they seriously think we'd all call it the X-Box One and NOT the X-BOne? Like...C'mon!
