hahahaha! She should have said “Be Sweden 60 years ago” if she wanted to clarify her accuracy. Moron.
2 Yamakashi1 • Jan 27, 2009 at 8:09 pm
She probably should have done that.
3 LadyCitizen • Jan 27, 2009 at 8:15 pm
Who the hell is Jessica Alba. lol
4 jalabi99 • Jan 27, 2009 at 8:24 pm
If O’Reilly’s supposed to be so smart, he’d know she meant “Sweden 60 years ago/during WW II” without her saying it.
Face it. Bill O. is a bloviating blowhard full of hot air who has the hots for Jessica but refuses to admit it.
Jessica Alba 3, Bill O’Reilly -20.
5 tkl0085 • Jan 27, 2009 at 9:11 pm
nice that you use vocab oreilly uses from his own show (bloviating and blowhard) to show your disdain! Being a celebrity does not guarantee any more ability or efficiency in speaking out on politics! Cute scoreboard by the way (cough!)…
6 Gokusaishiki • Jan 27, 2009 at 9:32 pm
It is 2009…when someone say “be Sweden” in the year of 2009, I would think that person is talking about Sweden now not 60 years ago. Idiot.
7 Gokusaishiki • Jan 27, 2009 at 9:37 pm
btw during WWII Sweden allowed the Wehrmacht to cross their territory when invading Norway so I’m not sure if Sweden was truly neutral or how they see themselves as neutral.
8 orangeleviathan • Jan 27, 2009 at 9:50 pm
Wikipedia is now factchecking!!!!????
This is one dumb twat.
9 niesel14 • Jan 27, 2009 at 11:55 pm
what a bimbo
10 HatchumoSC • Jan 28, 2009 at 1:30 am
don’t you understand… she got her info off wikepedia….. let me guess, you voted for obama too right?
11 EmaLiina • Jan 28, 2009 at 1:31 am
G0 JESSICA !
12 EmaLiina • Jan 28, 2009 at 1:33 am
LadyCitizen: omg ? honest to who you dont know who jessica alba is
she the greatest actress ever ! a very famous actor ; x
13 MartyLou84 • Jan 28, 2009 at 1:34 am
she’s a dumbass
14 KoreanMale12 • Jan 28, 2009 at 1:37 am
Wikipedia to argue back? oh man pathetic moron= ALBA
But I see where she is approaching from…
But in WW2 both countries were neutral , so both are right.
I say Jessica should have done a research on website that has validity on facts. Other then that both are fun to watch.. ROFL
15 Kelm48103 • Jan 28, 2009 at 1:42 am
She obviously meant Switzerland and got lucky that Sweden happened to be neutral too.
16 cohenjason85 • Jan 28, 2009 at 1:46 am
I think she is the A ****!
Stuck up b****!
17 jsparky321 • Jan 28, 2009 at 1:55 am
Sweden has troops in Afghanistan. Not so neutral.
18 LadyCitizen • Jan 28, 2009 at 2:14 am
LOL No I really don’t. Probably would if you named a movie she was in.
19 Cranberry160 • Jan 28, 2009 at 2:19 am
Although Sweden is a neutral country, I believe Switzerland is THE country often referred to when talking about “neutrality”. In fact, this is the reason why Switzerland hosts many international organizations, including the Red Cross, the World Trade Organization and the U.N.
20 Cranberry160 • Jan 28, 2009 at 2:20 am
Switzerland has been neutral since 1515, a status formally recognised and guaranteed by the great powers of Europe after the Napoleonic Wars in 1815. Swiss neutrality thus has deeper roots than any of Europe’s other major neutral states: Sweden (1815), Eire (1921), Finland (1948) and Austria (1955).
21 marker853 • Jan 28, 2009 at 2:47 am
jessica is another dumb bimbo
22 kimberlyy • Jan 28, 2009 at 2:56 am
Her source is Wikipedia. That’s it.
23 blinkangels44 • Jan 28, 2009 at 3:24 am
Jessica stick to wear tight costume in order to show us your ass ……that’s what you are good at.
24 jesqui7840 • Jan 28, 2009 at 3:36 am
She is right…O’reilly is an asshole.
25 LawLady312 • Jan 28, 2009 at 3:39 am
I’d have respect for her if she said the word asshole. Fake.Fake.Fake.
26 LawLady312 • Jan 28, 2009 at 3:41 am
I’d have some respect for her if she actually said asshole.
27 gabrielle1017 • Jan 28, 2009 at 3:47 am
Sweden and Switzerland … HAHAHAHA two very diff countries .. Learn some European Geography for a change. before speakin up =))
28 KineticFrenetic • Jan 28, 2009 at 3:49 am
This is what happened:
“Be Sweden!”
*media harrasses her*
“OMG. I made a mistake?”
*goes online. google searches sweden + neutrality. finds wikipedia reference. copies and pastes.*
2 years later she’s voted as the UN Ambassador of Wikipedia.
29 EmaLiina • Jan 28, 2009 at 3:59 am
uuuum ? do you know these movies ? “Honey, Into the Blue, Awake, The Eye, The Love Guru, The Ten, Sin City, Bill, Fantastic Four 1 & 2, Never Been Kisses, the tv programme ‘Dark Angel’ ” those are only a few ; do you know any ov those mvies ? im sure you do lol ; x
30 EmaLiina • Jan 28, 2009 at 3:59 am
woops tht ws supposed to be “Never Been Kissed” lol ; x
31 erickmeekins • Jan 28, 2009 at 5:21 am
actually she didnt make a mistake; she said sweden and meant sweden. It is a country, and in fact is neutral. What mistake did she make to have to check it up? Bill and the media made the mistake. Dumb ass fox people out done by a beauty they tried to stereotype as dumb because she is a beauty.
32 erickmeekins • Jan 28, 2009 at 5:23 am
What the hell else source should she use? You want her to bust out the encyclopedias in your moms old rusty library? Thats all the source you pretty much need these days. She was right.
33 KineticFrenetic • Jan 28, 2009 at 5:32 am
This is not “You say tomato, I say tomato.”
Switzerland is the icon of neutrality in Europe. I think it was a wee slip of the tongue from a ditz who wanted to dig into the easiest (ie laziest) source to “prove” the other side wrong “after the fact”.
Bill’s an arrogant asshole. Alba definitely doesn’t have a history or political science major. I’m not defending either/or. They’re both idiots. Just so happens that Alba proved to bait an idiot with her idiocy this time. Simple observation.
34 markamarka123123 • Jan 28, 2009 at 7:30 am
Learn some European history for a change, Sweden is in fact neutral.
35 gqmighty • Jan 28, 2009 at 9:03 am
maybe she did mean sweden….you dont know….byotch
36 azureecloud • Jan 28, 2009 at 9:42 am
no i didnt. im not american. if they allow outsiders to vote then definitely i vote for obama. and im not black
37 akisburning • Jan 28, 2009 at 9:50 am
jessica bobo is another holloywood tool. just because you have money doesnt mean you have brains, especially for woman who make a living off showcasing their body(every movie shes in has a scene or 2 showing the goods) and she needs to sit this one out, oreilly will tear her a new arse. i guess obama has given her fake confidence now, i say shes just as big a ditz as before obama was elected.
38 ctcole77 • Jan 28, 2009 at 10:08 am
WAKE UP! It’s reality!
YES Sweden is neutral. But so is Austria, Finland, Costa Rica, etc. It’s about historical pop culture, which Jessica obviously does not know.
Come on people, would you honestly say “be Turkmenistan about it”?
Have you ever heard anybody use Sweden in a neutral analogy?
And the fact that she cites wikipedia, an unreliable open sourced reference, makes her look even more stupid.
39 ctcole77 • Jan 28, 2009 at 10:18 am
Wikipedia is NOT a reliable source.
Any college professor will penalize you if you list wikipedia as a source.
40 aquabluegrl • Jan 28, 2009 at 11:13 am
I heard that she got offended when
Oreilly said she was mis guided
about things not to defend Oreilly i
could care less but what do you expect
someone to say when you first
insult them by calling them a ass..
like she did..
41 bksfinest430 • Jan 28, 2009 at 11:20 am
jessica’s right, sweden has been a neutral country for the last 200 years, avoiding both world wars and still haven’t joined NATO. also, it’s not like she’s right a college paper, wikipedia is good enough source to quickly find information.
42 ctcole77 • Jan 28, 2009 at 11:26 am
Sweden is a member of the EU.
The EU has a common foreign policy that is NOT neutral, and all members must abide to it.
43 pedrolr22 • Jan 28, 2009 at 11:49 am
First I want to say that she was not citing wikipedia as a source she was just stating that if you where stupid enough to not know that Sweden was a natural country then you should read about it. She stated wikipedia website as to say that even an unreliable source had the right information, so how could he not.
44 Lantnollan2 • Jan 28, 2009 at 12:36 pm
Well i´m from sweden and i thought it was pretty cool she said that considering we´re a small country..and maybe its a new trend? either way,she´s right!
45 Lantnollan2 • Jan 28, 2009 at 12:41 pm
And bill orreilly or whatever his name is can go screw himself! sweden IS neutral! isnt he like 40-50 years old? then he should remember that sweden remained neutral during ww2 ,or maybe since he´s so old he cant remember cuz when u get old u get a lil senil !
46 dahoss65 • Jan 28, 2009 at 1:14 pm
Alba = young brainless idiot who doesnt realize she is years away from being wise, if she ever reaches that point. Some people remain always dumb..
O’Reilly = older, been there seen that with far more experience and wisdom than Alba will ever dream of having..
Young people need to just shut it. They have lots to learn and have nearly zero experience of knowing whats best for this world.
Btw, im still young, but im a realist.
47 gunghojoeno • Jan 28, 2009 at 1:21 pm
Considering you support Bill O Reily so much. I think you should get your IQ checked. Am sorry maybe get an MRI to evaluate if you a human brain, the IQ test will be contingent upon the presence of a human brain in your thick skull.
48 dahoss65 • Jan 28, 2009 at 1:23 pm
Actually as you get older you get wiser, smarter and more experienced than some numbnut such as yourself.
You’ll understand someday what I mean….maybe.
I mean think about it for a second. Who would you consider wiser, smarter and more experienced and knowledgeable in general? A 3rd grader or a 10th grader? How about a 9th grader or a 2nd year college student?
Dont think too hard!
49 dahoss65 • Jan 28, 2009 at 1:27 pm
Hmm….19 years old. That explains it.
When I was 19, we thought we knew it all too. You’ll realise someday just how stupid you truly were “back in the day”
50 gunghojoeno • Jan 28, 2009 at 1:33 pm
Let me know when you are finished so that I can go and pass a turd
51 kimberlyy • Jan 28, 2009 at 1:38 pm
LOL Do you even know how Wikipedia works? Anyone can write anything they want on it. It’s not reliable. I could go to the link Alba gave and change everything about it. You probably don’t go to college so you don’t know what a source is. High schoolers should be aware of it also. I know if I need support for my stance on something, I am not gonna depend on Wikipedia.
52 kimberlyy • Jan 28, 2009 at 1:38 pm
How about you crack open a book or find one of many sites that are credible before you defend an actress like Alba. She’s lucky she has her looks, that’s why she’s so successful. It’s not her brain getting her anywhere.
53 freshmintburst • Jan 28, 2009 at 1:45 pm
And Bill? The only reason he’s so successful is because he stirs people around. He pisses people off and throws strongly biased opinions around(some journalist he is). That’s what I call sensationalism.
54 kimberlyy • Jan 28, 2009 at 1:54 pm
That’s the entertainment industry for you. He’s on tv for a reason.
55 kimberlyy • Jan 28, 2009 at 1:57 pm
However, I favor him over alba. Brains>Beauty is something i respect. His option allows viewers to think for ourselves.
56 PoochDoobie • Jan 28, 2009 at 1:57 pm
OMG she is so cute
57 LaxPro93 • Jan 28, 2009 at 2:05 pm
make sure you check wikipedia!
cause it’s the authority in factual information
hahahahahah
58 CatB • Jan 28, 2009 at 8:19 am
Erickmeekins, no, she meant Switzerland. Switzerland is synonymous with neutrality. She got lucky that Sweden happened to be neutral during WWII; however, Sweden’s neutrality during the WWII is disputed.
Paraguay was also neutral during WWII, so saying “be neutral, be Paraguay” would technically be accurate. But that isn’t the expression. The expression is, “be Switzerland.”
59 1noen1 • Jan 28, 2009 at 2:45 pm
Bill O’Reilly has no brains you twit.
60 TheMerope • Jan 28, 2009 at 2:46 pm
Actually sweden IS a neutral country
61 indnxbllr • Jan 28, 2009 at 2:49 pm
you do realize that there was no EU during WWII, so the EU doesnt mean anything when it comes to nuetrality during WWII. so your point basically makes no sense…
62 kimberlyy • Jan 28, 2009 at 2:56 pm
He used to be a teacher…. Yeah, he’s a jerk and an asshole. But he is an educated person and sometimes I find myself disagreeing with his views but I still respect him. I have no respect for Alba. There’s always more wrong ways than right to handle a situation and she decided to be immature about it. Bill O’Reilly is an intelligent man, he’s not where he is now because of his looks! That’s a fact.
63 lipsealed15 • Jan 28, 2009 at 3:03 pm
i have to admit she was prertty rude to that journalist, i kind of felt bad for him he looked like he was on the spot, she didnt have to jump at him for not wanting to answer the question. And honestly the whole thing with her and bill o reily is childish they are both to blame on that one.
64 baluray2 • Jan 28, 2009 at 3:36 pm
”you can’t answer about our President of the United States” So the president is important and respectful when referring to President Obama but not when referring to President Bush? These people are so hypocritical and stupid and you can see it all in this one video people need to stop looking at celebrities to get their opinions and instead get some facts. At least O’reilly gets his information and reports instead of just running his mouth like celebs seem to love doing
65 baluray2 • Jan 28, 2009 at 3:43 pm
this is so true … its funny how it pisses so many people off to hear facts such as this. ya there may be some smart kids out there but life experience will always gain you more intelligence than going to school for a few years. O’reilly reports facts and has footage and proof to back it up and it drives people nuts and they hate him for it lol i cant explain it maybe someone else can make since of that?
66 baluray2 • Jan 28, 2009 at 3:51 pm
Just letting you know it doesn’t make someone stupid if they have a different opinion than you. an unintelligent person closes his mind off to opinions and facts presented by others when they are different than their own. If O’reilly and dahoss65 need an IQ test do us all a favor and explain why or just keep silent next time cuz intelligent people see through you LOL
67 ctcole77 • Jan 28, 2009 at 4:04 pm
Why are you bringing up WWII? That makes no sense.
What does WWII have to do with anything?
Sweden WAS NOT neutral during the Napoleonic Wars.
68 essbeck • Jan 28, 2009 at 4:19 pm
EU is a economic union not a military union. That means that Sweden can have their military alliance free position.
69 hungryasshit • Jan 28, 2009 at 4:32 pm
Why the hell would Jessica Alba have more of Napoleonic Wars in her mind than World War II?
70 gunghojoeno • Jan 28, 2009 at 4:37 pm
Mr Balu, You need to raise standards of your critical faculty to a squirrel’s (if you are not capable of raising it to an intelligent person’s such as me) and you will see that being open minded does not mean that you should be perpetually open to people’s bull. You should listen to them patiently a few times and then shut them out (if you are INTELLIGENT that is).
After reading your other comments, it’s amply evident that you are a lifetime free member of the BOR moron cult.
71 dahoss65 • Jan 28, 2009 at 4:48 pm
Jessica Alba now boycotted in my household! Congrats!
72 slinkyboysix • Jan 28, 2009 at 5:15 pm
Is it just possible that they are both right? O’Reilly is indeed an ass-hole and Alba is a pinhead. I just solved the whole “celebrity feud” right there.
I’m like Sweden…:)
73 berig1 • Jan 28, 2009 at 5:23 pm
O’Reilly could claim that Sweden is only “military non-aligned in peace, aiming for neutrality in case of war in its immediate surroundings” (current status), and since its not war anywhere close… it’s just military non-aligned and not neutral.
I’m quite sure O’Reilly isn’t aware of this. Moreover, it’s a quite thin line between “military non-aligned” and “neutral” so if I had to give a point to anyone I’d give it to Alba.
74 neuronsactivated • Jan 28, 2009 at 5:46 pm

75 coil353 • Jan 28, 2009 at 5:58 pm
seems like they’re being German about it AMIRITE !!?
76 gsloehr • Jan 28, 2009 at 6:05 pm
NO , idiot, your problem is you looking at the IQ, which we both know you dont have,but when comes to leftist jackasses like you which in are reality is knowing that the only IQ this air head has is between her legs!!!!!
77 bassawash • Jan 28, 2009 at 6:08 pm
she is dumb for basing her argument on a wikipedia page. however, it is a fact that sweden is and has been a rather neutral country. unless o’reilly is napoleon in disguise, he is just as big of a moron as alba.
78 mef83 • Jan 28, 2009 at 6:09 pm
Sweden was neutral during WW2 and is neutral today. Alba was right.
//Martin from Sweden
79 gsloehr • Jan 28, 2009 at 6:10 pm
the only blow hole here is you, you need to go back listen again but this time try not to look between her legs cause thats all the brains this air head has!!!!!!!!!

FUX NUZ SUX!
83 baluray2 • Jan 28, 2009 at 6:35 pm
I was simply asking for some facts on why O’reilly and dahoss65 need an IQ test? Why do you feel i care about what you say about me? dahoss65 made a good point he didn’t say whether or not he was even a supporter of O’reilly or not and you just blasted him for it? I asked a simple question (for most people). I didn’t say i liked o’reilly or not. stop attacking people and try to prove people wrong with facts. I mean do you honestly think you have a higher IQ than O’reilly?
84 hamburga005 • Jan 28, 2009 at 6:54 pm
yeah Jessica, you are a misguided lady. you really would be better off watching Fox once in a while. Instead of CNN all the time.
85 panstar15 • Jan 28, 2009 at 6:59 pm
yeah and your a dumbass if your most reliable source of information is that Fox News bullshit
86 HatchumoSC • Jan 28, 2009 at 7:08 pm
she says that only cuz he don’t like obama…

Ummm… Wikipedia is not a credible website… people put in their own information. Jessica is such an idiot!
90 CRW34x • Jan 28, 2009 at 9:16 pm
Maybe, for citing Wikipedia, but she was right regardless.
91 BilldalSWE • Jan 28, 2009 at 9:30 pm
Well, Switzerland has armed UN forces so does that meen they aren’t neutral either? No, because when defining neutrality that doesn’t count just as being a memer of EU and having EU forces doesn’t….. So the fact is that Sweden counts as the oldest neutral country in the world just AHEAD of Switzerland…
92 BilldalSWE • Jan 28, 2009 at 9:33 pm

94 ryankeefe • Jan 28, 2009 at 10:11 pm
no. wikipedia is credible. there are people at wikipedia who monitor the pages, and if something is put down without a citation, and it can’t be proven accurate, it is removed. if something that is not factual is put on the page, it is fixed within a matter of minutes.
95 HowCanSheSlap1983 • Jan 28, 2009 at 10:12 pm
sorry jessica, ur fine and all but everyone knows u MEANT to say switzerland because thats the common figuire of speach… u just happened to look up sweeden after your mistake and lucked out that they never jump into wars either…but she definately messed up the common saying
96 google2com • Jan 28, 2009 at 10:24 pm
Im not a big fan of O’Reilly but come one, Jess, I’m with him on this one. you just a dumb actress whos trying to think you are smart.
97 google2com • Jan 28, 2009 at 10:27 pm
I know, any smart people knows that you can’t cite Wikipedia as a truly credible source for supporting an arguement.

101 xpsml710 • Jan 29, 2009 at 2:49 am
jessica alba is very talented and one of the smartest celeberies she has a strong will and i respect that about her (big fan of hers)
oya she owned o’reilly
102 mightyachillies • Jan 29, 2009 at 3:14 am
If she is right… who is the dumb ass?
103 mightyachillies • Jan 29, 2009 at 3:18 am
No, she is right. Actually, Sweden was truly neutral while Switzerland secretly helped the Nazi war machine in providing financing, essential material and letting the death trains through their borders.
104 youbobotube • Jan 29, 2009 at 5:03 am
omg bill is an idiot…..
105 johnfriley909 • Jan 29, 2009 at 8:16 am
jessica alba,what a pinhead.
106 Mythosician06 • Jan 29, 2009 at 10:29 am
Haha, second time O’Reilly got schooled about a WWII issue.
107 BilldalSWE • Jan 29, 2009 at 10:34 am
You are even more stupid than O’reilly… “O’reilly reports facts and has footage and proof to back it up ” HAHAHA, he’s been cought lying and making stuff up on his show countless times!! Do a quick search here on youtube on “O’reilly owned” and if you still think everything he reports is facts then you have confirmed you were bourne without a brain….
108 ctcole77 • Jan 29, 2009 at 11:31 am
What does WWII have to do with it?
Nothing.
So Sweden was neutral in WWII.
Sweden was not neutral in the Napoleonic wars.
All you guys are more interested in making O’Reilly look bad than admitting the facts.
In historical pop culture when making neutral analogies you refer to Switzerland, NOT Sweden.
109 Jonte0ne • Jan 29, 2009 at 11:53 am
Sweden is neutral, yes.
110 sveria1210 • Jan 29, 2009 at 12:57 pm
Jessica – 1, Bill – 0
111 SERBSERBS • Jan 29, 2009 at 1:35 pm
hahaha typical…though sweden too helped the nazis to cross over to Finland during ww2…but then theres a famous swede who saved many jews and others from certain deaths….
BUT in whole in every country there were ppl who were either with or against the nazis so none really was neutral in that way….even if not participating in the war…
112 Lantnollan2 • Jan 29, 2009 at 1:47 pm
If u actually lived in sweden you´d know we are indeed neutral,and dont tell me i´m wrong cuz you dont live here and i do! If u really think about it who do u think is more right? You ,a nobody who lives in some country or me,who actually lives in sweden? I do belive that since i actually live here i know better than you..I guess some get wiser the older they get but you´re certainly not one of them …
113 LadyJaJa • Jan 29, 2009 at 8:08 am
Sweden has been neutral LONGER than Switzerland by one year. (1814 to Switz’s 1815)

114 landofthefree2009 • Jan 29, 2009 at 2:35 pm
At the outbreak of the Finnish Winter War in November 1939 Sweden declared itself “not neutral”, but “non-belligerent”. This allowed Sweden to send volunteers and weapons to Finland. As many as 8,000 Swedes voluntarily went to Finland. The Swedish government and public sent food, clothing, medicine, weapons and ammunition to aid the Finns during the Winter War, but avoided official military involvement. Sweden laid minefields in the Sea of Åland to deter Soviet submarines from entering.
115 Clonedduckie • Jan 29, 2009 at 4:18 pm
Are you all moronic, Its not about the fact that Sweden may have indeed been “neutral” at some point in time. Its the fact that when you refer to a neutral country it is common knowledge you say “Switzerland”. Sounds like Jessica Alba is dumb and had to do some serious research to make up for her dumb statement. Not only that, but enough talk about how pretty Jessica Alba is, Go look at her blog, she is not cute when she doesn’t have her hand makeup artist near by.. Ew!

SO what if she slipped up everyone has done it and you all know what she meant anyway. GET A GRIP! Fox and o’reiIly are TRASH BTW..
117 patmweav • Jan 29, 2009 at 9:18 pm
O’reilly is an asshole, Alba wins
118 sillyprincezz • Jan 29, 2009 at 9:23 pm
Yes we’re all moronic. Since you’re the SMART one, how come you haven’t done anything yet to save the world. indeed it is common to say Switzerland but is it wrong to say something not common? Cause yes, SWEDEN does not participate in any alliance and at this point of time that’s the most neutral you can get. And you actually think one has to do serious research to say Sweden is neutral. Geesh, you can actually know that from just from watching tv.
119 dahoss65 • Jan 29, 2009 at 10:11 pm
Sweden isnt shit and never has been. What has Sweden ever done? Nothing!
You are a neutral country because you are a bunch of pussies. End of story!
120 187MrRuthless187 • Jan 29, 2009 at 10:39 pm
she is hot, but O’Reilly would tear her apart … lol
121 Biggiejumbo2007 • Jan 29, 2009 at 10:40 pm
Alba is adorable, but she’s no match for Bill. In fact, in this clip, she sounds like a complete fool.
122 Biggiejumbo2007 • Jan 29, 2009 at 10:41 pm
what? Jessica appears to be a complete fool in this clip. You really think she can take on Bill? You may not care for Bill, but intellectually–he’d tear her apart.
123 Biggiejumbo2007 • Jan 29, 2009 at 10:42 pm
She’s a cute, albeit ignorant, actress.

What are you talking about ?? She was right, Bill was wrong.
125 Lantnollan2 • Jan 30, 2009 at 11:42 am
We havent had wars in 200 years beacuse we belive you can solve things with talking it out unlike some other countries.Maybe we are pussies sometimes but thats better than bombing some country cuz we “disagree” with them,we would never do such a thing and i´m damn proud of it! We solve things like adults should!
126 jacomozank • Jan 30, 2009 at 11:44 am
u american maybe say only “switzerland” because you don´t actually know european countries and history… some american are so ignorant..
127 landofthefree2009 • Jan 30, 2009 at 12:03 pm
jacomozank, no knucklehead. We Americans don’t say “only Switzerland is neutral”. For reasons you can research for yourself, Switzerland is synonymous with being neutral. Yes some Americans are ignorant, but so are you.
128 patmweav • Jan 30, 2009 at 12:06 pm
I think she won the argument when she said he was an A-hole, and he lost when he said she’d benefit from watching “the factor”. Bill O’reilly is an asshole, and nobody benefits from watching “the factor”.
129 landofthefree2009 • Jan 30, 2009 at 12:14 pm
Lantnollan2, did you solve things with talking it out with Adolf Hitler and his Nazi bullies? How did that work out? Sweden should have stood up to those no good bastards like the Allies did. Talking to resolve problems is a good idea but sometimes you need to fight evil. At least many of your countrymen had the balls to go to Finland to fight the Red Army in November of 1939. Sweden was not neutral in that war. Sweden was “non-belligerent”.

how is she a stupid airhead, SHE WAS RIGHT YOU FOOL, Sweden remained nuetral in WW2 and what she said was be Sweden about it , she was referring to Sweden and WW2. It seems you need your facts to be checked pinhead
135 dahoss65 • Jan 31, 2009 at 2:56 am
Yeah, you are the lay down and die type. Bravo!
Many countries in past history have been conquered because of that way of thinking. Your nation is only free because of countries like America who are around to see to it that you are free.
136 dahoss65 • Jan 31, 2009 at 3:00 am
You are damn proud of your country whom sits back and does nothing to help other countries citizens who are murdered, maimed, tortured and enslaved by ruthless evil dictators?
If thats the way of a proud country, I want no part of it.
137 SweetTechno90 • Jan 31, 2009 at 5:44 am
sweden has been and is one of the most neutral countries in the world, so she’s right.. learn some history before judging u dumbasses
138 Lantnollan2 • Jan 31, 2009 at 8:52 am
Thats a lot better than bombing a country and hurting innocent people,do u feel like that is right? I dont ,thats why i´m proud of the fact that we are neutral and we´re only free cuz of america? Eh hm get yorur history right,we´re free beacuse of US you jerk! America has nothing to do with it…
139 poshko41 • Jan 31, 2009 at 11:39 am
As much as I hate O’Reilly, Jessica is really not helping her cause by back talking. Switzerland is the country most commonly considered analogous to neutrality – which is probably what she wanted to say. Retorting in defense of your comments by quoting wikipedia is not the way to do it. You’re better off just keeping your mouth shut. O’Reilly only attracts Rush Limbaugh listening bigots who think everything he says is pure gold anyway. Explaining yourself to followers like that is futile.
140 irishsid13 • Jan 31, 2009 at 12:47 pm

141 Visfen • Jan 31, 2009 at 12:52 pm
Lol, Alba, an actress with no apparent links to academia or journalism knows more about the state of affairs in the world than O’Reilly.
Awesome pwnage.
142 Visfen • Jan 31, 2009 at 12:58 pm
We traded extesnively during WWII, and at the end of the war we were one of the few countries that had not been ravaged by the destruction of that war, which is why we were the richest country in the world for the greated part of the later 20th century.
It’s not as easy as “Hitler was evil, fight him”. You have to realize the consequences it has to your country. Imagine 9/11, except every day, why would any country put themselves in that position?
143 Visfen • Jan 31, 2009 at 12:58 pm
Why? We’re still neutral today.
144 Visfen • Jan 31, 2009 at 1:01 pm

145 Visfen • Jan 31, 2009 at 1:08 pm
“Have you ever heard anybody use Sweden in a neutral analogy?”
Actually, yes.
The difference in Sweden and Switzerlands neutrality is that Sweden actively have diplomatic relations all over the world to seek peaceful solutions while Switzerland don’t have as interventionist policy in terms of diplomacy.
146 Visfen • Jan 31, 2009 at 1:09 pm
“When I was 19, we thought we knew it all too. You’ll realise someday just how stupid you truly were “back in the day” ”

147 Visfen • Jan 31, 2009 at 1:17 pm
Are you smarter than a fifth grader, seen that show?
Age is not something that gives you wisdom or intelligence, it takes an open mind and natural born talent.
I think a child can have a unique and insightful perspective. I remember when I once heard a five year old ask “why do people fight wars?”. Because really, why do we? There’s no reason for it.
148 Visfen • Jan 31, 2009 at 1:19 pm
Young people need to shut up? I think old people like yourself need to go back in time and get yourself an education before you start spouting ignorance with some false security of wisdom that you think you have gotten from your life.
Intelligence and wisdom doesn’t come from age, it comes from hard work, talent and experience, something you only get if you have an open mind.

Sweden is part of the EU. The EU is a supranational organization that has ONE common foreign policy.
So Sweden is de facto, NOT neutral.

And Switzerland laundered nazi money and stored things for the nazis. Doesn’t change the fact that both Sweden and Switzerland have neutral policies. And Sweden has had a neutral policy for longer than Switzerland has.
157 hansson2000 • Jan 31, 2009 at 7:18 pm
in facto sweden has been been acknowledge as a neutral contry ever since 1865, schweiz since 1815 and note to urself not consistently since 1291.
carry on
its bill that is dumb and referring to one war. get ur facts straights and keep up this dumbing down on other countrys cultur, it really makes U dumber.
158 mieroth • Jan 31, 2009 at 7:23 pm
Sweden is known to be neutral. Don’t blame us for your own ignorance. And Switzerland you never hear of. Sweden is known for actively seeking relationships with all sides.
159 39Justin39 • Jan 31, 2009 at 7:28 pm
Sweden sent troops to Afghanistan for one. Sweden may be neutral in some wars… her argument would be stronger if she said she just misspoke…
160 mieroth • Jan 31, 2009 at 7:32 pm
Sweden is not a part of NATO. The troops in Afghanistan are there for peace-keeping. They help build schools and such in the northern part of Afghanistan where there is little fighting.
Sweden is well-known as being neutral. Switzerland just stays out of everything and you never hear of them. They are hardly a role-model. Sweden actively seek relations with all sides and is most people’s first choice when asked to name a neutral country. Don’t know where you’ve lived…
161 mieroth • Jan 31, 2009 at 7:36 pm
And, if you want to be really picky… Switzerland used to have troops in Kosovo.
162 39Justin39 • Jan 31, 2009 at 7:49 pm
And the US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan right now are technically “peace keepers”. The common slogan is “neutral like Switzerland”. It is in their constitution to be neutral. Alba misspoke… there are other countries too… So lets say “Neutral Like Vatican City”. She would have much more respect if she just said she misspoke… Goran Persson speaking as Prime Minister, has come out for and against wars the US has been in… that is taking sides and therefore Sweden is not always neutral..
163 snorfinn • Jan 31, 2009 at 8:46 pm
Not experts, but common sense would tell you Europeans “know” a larger percentage of American history than Americans “know” of European history, as European history is longer (understatement) and far more diverse than American history. We are also currently living in a world where America matters more to Europeans than Europe matters to Americans, both politically and culturally, so it’s hardly surprising that Europeans pay more attention to US developments than vice versa.
164 landofthefree2009 • Jan 31, 2009 at 11:55 pm
Visfen, thank you for your thoughtful reply. You give a good explanation of your point of view in a few words. I understand that the political realities were complex. It is also my understanding that there was a great deal of diversity of opinion within Sweden. Is that true? Also, what were the opinions of your Swedish countrymen about your voluntary assistance given to the Finns in their fight against Stalin’s invading Red Army. Thanks.
165 Nalachu • Feb 1, 2009 at 2:05 am
No, I genuinely believe she was going to say “Sweden”, and mean it – not only because I’m a Swede myself, but also because almost every non-Swede I know would think of either Sweden or Switzerland when thinking of a neutral or non-aligned country.
Re: WW2: Our neutrality and policy of armed appeasement saved many, many lives. Sweden was not ready for war in 1940. We had bought the interbellum propaganda – No More Wars. 1945 we were ready, but literally hours before we attacked, Dönitz gave up.

provided dat de american culture doesnt invade de culture of Europe… European culture is enriched,to deir own ideas,dey add american ideas. De american culture,should open in dat sense.
169 vaneheim • Feb 1, 2009 at 10:05 am
The policy of Sweden during World War II was to remain neutral. Swedish neutrality had been the policy for more than a century, since the end of the Napoleonic Wars.
Sweden (now EU) – Sweden has not fought a war since ending its involvement in the Napoleonic Wars in 1814 with a short war with Norway, making it the oldest neutral country in the world.- i got this pieces of information in Wikipedia. Switzerland is just the second oldest neutral country. Anything you want to say, Mr. O’Reilly???
170 mieroth • Feb 1, 2009 at 11:09 am
The US troops in Afghanistan are fighting against someone. They are in armed conflict. Sweden is not. Sweden is working there more like a humanitarian organisation and helping to build schools and offer protection to construction workers and so on (due to absence of a proper police force). Sweden is an obvious choice because it is and has been a neutral country in the past. I don’t care about any “slogan.” This is a simple sentence. And Alba is correct.
171 mieroth • Feb 1, 2009 at 11:12 am
And Switzerland was one of the first countries to condemn USA’s plans to enter Iraq…
Expressing an opinion has nothing to do with neutrality as a policy.

Really Visfen, then will you please explain to me how I’m wrong?
177 Visfen • Feb 1, 2009 at 1:29 pm
If the EU’s offical position on an international matter is one thing, that in no way forces Sweden to accept the same position. The EU is first and foremost a trade union with no authoiryt of constitutional power over its’ member.
178 Visfen • Feb 1, 2009 at 1:36 pm
There have always been great political diversity in Sweden, raning from communists, fascist to libertarian but these parties never broke any real ground. There were some supporter of the Nazi regime in Sweden (most famous, Kamprad), but that never made any real contributions to the war waging process.
Finland is sort of like Swedens little brother, and our long history with Russia even further made the decession to help our neighbours much easier.

Sweden wasn’t neutral during WWII. They claimed they were, but they supported the Allies consistently. Just because they didn’t fight on a large scale, doesn’t mean they were neutral.
185 HNK222 • Feb 1, 2009 at 8:20 pm
How can anyone still take a blathering loser-imbecile like o’reilly seriously? Afraid to challenge adults because they’ll make mince meat out of him (see: Franken, Al) he decides to go after a young girl and SHE anhilates the bloated asshole! What’s next? Is he going to pick a fight with an infant and lose that too?!
186 landofthefree2009 • Feb 1, 2009 at 8:23 pm
Visfen, thanks for your reply. From what I’ve read about the “Winter War”, I’ve always admired the bravery of the Finns and their “big brothers” from Sweden. The Finns and Swedes fought courageously while being heavily outnumbered by Stalin’s Red Army.
187 necrid86 • Feb 1, 2009 at 9:15 pm

Yet they’ve taken sides. The fact they don’t go to war for what they believe in means they are just pansies. You criticize Bill O for ad hominem attacks and then do it your self? Ha! Also Bill O is better than Kieth Olbermann he doesn’t even have dissenting opinions on his show.

195 landofthefree2009 • Feb 2, 2009 at 12:44 am
You liberal dildos. You feel you have to take Jessica Alba’s side against Bill O’Reilly no matter stupid it makes you sound. Alba misspoke. The Swiss are synonymous with being neutral. When someone says something “runs like a fine Swiss watch”, we know what they mean. They could say something “runs like a fine Swedish watch”. The Swedes make good watches. But that’s not the expression. They misspoke. Someone might say “I’d love to have a Swedish Army knife”. They probably misspoke also.
196 landofthefree2009 • Feb 2, 2009 at 1:16 am
Alba uses a straw man argument. She makes up a straw man and knocks that down. She said, but seriously peopleits so sad to me you think the only neutral country during World War II was Switzerland. OReilly didnt say that. To my knowledge, no one has said, the only neutral country during World War II was Switzerland. Alba uses the old straw man debating trick. She makes up an untrue statement and then attributes that to the person she wants to attack.
197 robi2000 • Feb 2, 2009 at 1:28 am

What do I know? More than you apparently do, bill is hardly a serious journalist or could even slightly be considered intelligent in his arguments. He’s an opinionated pundit, that’s what he is.
Me not agreeing with him, at least most o f the time, has nothing to do with him, he does more to damage the positions he hold than to give credit to them.
And you constructed an entire comment that was just ad hominem. Proving that you are just a mindless drone to the drums of others men.
205 Visfen • Feb 2, 2009 at 6:42 am
Well, it’s not the first time that a war is waged on those borders where Swedes and Finns are on one side and the Russians on the other. I think we are destined to do it forever. We can call the current era of peace a “lucky streak”, but one can be certain of that human stupidity will sometime in the future create a new conflict.

Goran Persson, speaking as prime minister has supported certain wars and has taken sides he strongly supported us for our war in Afganistan even sent troops. Just Sweden not fighting isn’t neutral either. I never fight, but am in no way neutral and I take sides.
But you hadn’t even let me respond… clearly Sweden sending troops, and supporting US Military action before and after the fight isn’t neutral…
I guess that cockiness that I must have been wrong backfired.
215 landofthefree2009 • Feb 2, 2009 at 11:05 am
robi2000, nice try (seriously no sarcasm). But you are mistaken. Saying “Switzerland is neutral” is not using a straw man argument because the statement is true. Switzerland in fact is neutral. That’s completely different that saying, “but seriously people its so sad to me you think the only neutral country during World War II was Switzerland.” because that statement is false. Switzerland was NOT the ONLY country during WW 2 to be neutral. It’s also false because O’Reilly did NOT say it.
216 robi2000 • Feb 2, 2009 at 11:11 am

In the end, poor Bill IS an asshole. Whether Jessica says it or not makes it no less true.

Visfen, I hope fighting between the Swedes and Finns on one side and the Russians on the other is not destined to continue forever. There has been so much loss of human life and misery. The quote I remember from Nikita Khrushchev goes something like, “During the “Winter War” we gained just enough ground to bury our dead”. I just don’t see enough reason for these slaughters to continue.

robi2000, in no way can you or anyone imply that O’Reilly meant that he thought the only neutral country during World War II was Switzerland. Talking about Switzerland being neutral is an expression. Switzerland is synonymous with being neutral. Other countries including Sweden are also neutral. It’s similar to saying something “operates like a fine Swiss watch.” It’s a common expression. The Swedes make good watches. But folks don’t usually say something “operates like a fine Swedish watch”.

lando,
I’m afraid I think you are quite incorrect. But in the end . Jess has the hot ass. Bill has the asshole . LOL !
221 turniplord5 • Feb 2, 2009 at 2:33 pm
Because contributing to internet debate is SO productive: Thanks Jess, for pointing to a link that supports Mr. O’Reily’s point.
Sweden was nominally neutral for most of WWII, but contributed to the Nazi effort both through providing war materiel and free troop movements through it’s territory. In 1941 Sweden became a belligerent against the USSR (one of the Allies.)
So, “being Sweden” would be putting on a flimsy veneer of neutrality while supporting one side (the Nazis in this case.)

they’re both retards
223 ctcole77 • Feb 2, 2009 at 3:08 pm
Visfen, you may want to take that foreign policy class over again;
From the EU website:
“The idea that the European Union should speak with one voice in world affairs is as old as the European integration process itself.”
224 SAVANAHPETALS33 • Feb 2, 2009 at 3:39 pm
I can’t stand Fox News Sean Hannity and Bill O’reilly.
225 JPMoron • Feb 2, 2009 at 4:01 pm
Hmmmm……that Kelli is kindda hot!
226 Visfen • Feb 2, 2009 at 4:22 pm
Well ,that is pure BS. Consider the source also, do you think the offical EU site would undermine their own position? Of course not, but if you speak to people who are actually part of the process or write about the EU they know well enough that the EU is not unified, and it certainly doesn’t have any constitutional power… however much our American friends would love that to be the case so they can call us “europeans” under one fat generalization.
227 Visfen • Feb 2, 2009 at 4:28 pm
Göran Persson, like everyone else in the world after 9/11 felt compassion for the Americans. Showing natrual human deceny is not against neutrality.
Sweden has always supported peace keeping force and the provess for peace, in that sense we are not neutral, we’re not neutral when it comes to peace.
Göran Persson has officaly critized the harsh tactics and poor planning before the invasion of Afghanistan (as always Americans were big bang, big cash and no brains in the war).
228 Visfen • Feb 2, 2009 at 4:29 pm
And to argue semantics, it doesn’t even say that the EU does speak with one voice, all it says is that “that is the idea”, which we know never happen. We will never be like the US, we’re not a nation, we don’t want a constitution and we barely want this union.
229 Visfen • Feb 2, 2009 at 4:37 pm
Well, the people never want the war, but the people are never in charge. It is in the interest of both our nations now to pursue peace, but that is bound to change in the future, and when it does it wont matter what the people think. I just hope we will have gained enough power for there to at least be a struggle.
230 mordrid84 • Feb 2, 2009 at 4:52 pm
uh vis thats funny cause usatoday polled folks in 03 and 75% of the public agreed with the war but in 07 58% said we should not have went. Maybe America as a whole needs to take bipolar meds
231 omgstoptakingnames • Feb 2, 2009 at 5:05 pm
Bill O’Reilly is the biggest asshole (but thats his thing to get ratings) and wikipedia isn’t the best place to get the most accurate stuff, but thats ok cause shes hot
232 ForcheAlex • Feb 2, 2009 at 6:06 pm
I think she handed his ass to him.
233 jayce79 • Feb 2, 2009 at 6:31 pm
God Bless her but Jessica Alba really needs to stop talking. Celebrities should stick to entertainment.
234 xlxZ0mgZ0rsxlx • Feb 2, 2009 at 6:34 pm
She’s actually correct which is sad.
235 kokaneegoldbeer • Feb 2, 2009 at 7:39 pm
Jessica Alba has the mental retardation
236 MunkiesbrainS • Feb 2, 2009 at 7:48 pm
I’d like to see Jessica Alba and Bill O”Reilly get it on.
237 skiballer23 • Feb 2, 2009 at 8:30 pm
haha go see WIKEPEDIA..wow thats where she gets her facts..i cant believe she said that or anybody would..Wikepedia haha dunce
238 Biggiejumbo2007 • Feb 2, 2009 at 8:47 pm
Simply because you disagree with me is not an indicator of superior intellect. Have you ever listened to his show…read his books? If you did, I think you would agree with me. He’s not just an opinionated pundit; he’s an educated (Harvard) man with a good logical flow. Me, a “Mindless drone”? Hardly. Sounds like you’re guilty of ad hominem yourself. You don’t address the issue; you’d rather _attempt_ to dismiss my opinion and resort to name calling.
239 1337cole1337 • Feb 2, 2009 at 8:47 pm
you can’t have your cake and eat it too.
240 Biggiejumbo2007 • Feb 2, 2009 at 8:55 pm
Moreover, my original comment wasn’t directed at you. I merely stated that if Jessica Alba (high school education?) was going to have a debate with Bill (Master’s, Harvard), he’d have no problem winning the debate. And to that I believe you called him a “big bear”, Mr. Ad Hominem-pants-head. And by the way, from what college did you graduate? Or are you still working on that?
241 landofthefree2009 • Feb 2, 2009 at 11:03 pm
robi2000, you have reduced yourself to name calling. Name calling is fallacious and biased. It is a technique used to promote propaganda. Because or your name calling, you have made your opinions expressed here invalid.
242 landofthefree2009 • Feb 2, 2009 at 11:10 pm
Visfen, I hope it matters a great deal what people think. Folks are better informed today than they have ever been. There are many more forums now for people to express their opinions. For those reasons I have hope and optimism.
243 ConverseSC • Feb 3, 2009 at 5:41 am
I’m sorry, but this is silly. He’s supposed to be a political commentator. What is he picking on twenty year old celebrities for?
244 gn0men • Feb 3, 2009 at 7:46 am
Sweden is widely known for its ambition to remain neutral. During later years Sweden has however changed this approach. Being a member of the EU (and thereby the CFSP) is a good example of this. Neutrality is nevertheless still a strong feature in the political rhetorics in Sweden, even if the political reality has in fact changed. Yes, Switzerland is the number one symbol for neutrality in Europe. -
245 gn0men • Feb 3, 2009 at 7:47 am
But any person that is interested in security politics knows that Sweden is labelled as a neutral country as well, although more in peoples mind then in reality, which makes Albas comment about Sweden a most valid statement. Bill OReilly should know this, which makes him look like a big retard when he doesent and yet decides to talk about it on national television.
246 HowieMauch • Feb 3, 2009 at 5:36 pm
She was right about Sweden yes, but she got lucky.You can see in her eyes when she said it OOPS IS THAT RIGHT?? And shes a bitch for badgering that guy.
247 jalabi99 • Feb 4, 2009 at 3:24 pm
O’Reilly doesn’t own a monopoly on the words “bloviating” or “blowhard”. If the cap fits, let them wear it.
Jessica Alba 30, Bill O’Reilly -40
248 jalabi99 • Feb 4, 2009 at 3:25 pm
Greatest actress ever? I like Jessica and all, but even I wouldn’t go that far
249 miaamanda27 • Feb 21, 2009 at 7:07 am
Yes thank you America for allowing us to continue to be free here in Sweden
