Finland was part of the Axis in WW2. I understand why, because of Russia, but that is a black mark.

@Ghostcrawler:Some advice: [My pet issue] is why there were sub losses is one of the weaker arguments players use. Players don't have that data.
No, currently I live in Turku/Åbo. Born and raised in Nykarleby/Uusikarlepyy in Ostrobothnia though.
I feel like I need to comment on this: Finland never signed the Tripartite Pact, it was never a member of the Axis powers and never deported any jews. I'll quote wikipedia on the rest:
Military co-operation between Finland and Nazi Germany started in late 1940 after Finland had lost a significant amount of her territory to Soviet aggression in the Winter War. Finland joined Operation Barbarossa on June 25, 1941, starting the Continuation War. In November, Finland signed the Anti-Comintern Pact (an anti-communist agreement directed against the Soviet Union) with many other countries allied with Germany. Soon after this Germany suggested Finland sign the Tripartite Pact. However, the Finnish government refused, because Finland saw its war as a "separate war" from the Second World War, and it saw its objectives as different from those of Nazi Germany. Finland also wanted to maintain diplomatic relations with the Allied Powers, the United States in particular. During the Second World War, Germany asked Finland several times to sign the pact, but always the Finnish government declined the offer. Diplomatic relations between Finland and the United States were maintained until June 1944, although the US ambassador had already been recalled earlier. The United Kingdom, however, declared war on Finland on December 6, 1941 in support of its ally, the Soviet Union.

The nerve is called the "nerve of awareness". You cant dissect it. Its a current that runs up the center of your spine. I dont know if any of you have sat down, crossed your legs, smoked DMT, and watch what happens... but what happens to me is this big thing goes RRRRRRRRRAAAAAWWW! up my spine and flashes in my brain... well apparently thats whats going to happen if I do this stuff...
Kato perkele!
Wonder why swedes dont learn finnish, we're neighbouring countries afterall and it doesnt hurt to know finnish, right? Honestly it would be so easy if you fuckers would just deal with the fact that we live in finland and learn the fucking language. You people are so selfish, this isnt your land, this is finland and if you dont want to act like a finn then you should consider taking a boat to our beloved neighbor whom you love so much. Yes, this is a very touchy subject for me, especially when there are some people who see no problem in our language situation. Makes me fucking mad.
Strange how you treat "hurris" like different and foreign people. We are Finnish as well, most speak Finnish as well as their mother tongue and we aren't fucking hurris speaking Swedish because we love Swedes so much, we just happen to speak Swedish as our relatives have spoken it for a long time. I, for example haven't had any Swedish relatives since the 17th or 18th century so I'm not very Swedish. I can't either understand how this subject is so sensitive for you, you seemed to have really horrible Swedish lessons in your youth and decided to hate everyone who speaks Swedish because of that?
I hate swedish because its unnecessary language for us and I dont really like swedish language at all. Finns do infact have a real reason to hate swedes, just look at history. Swedish is like a mix of german and english and it sounds really boring to me as I already know english. We have our own beautiful language that we should care about, not our neighbour's language.
If you truly consider yourself finnish you wont teach your kids swedish, only finnish. If you however do teach them swedish too, then fine. Just dont make everyone else learn your stupid language even if they dont want to.
Many people, me included would have liked to learn another language BUT we were forced to learn swedish instead and many people arent ready to learn 4 languages at once (finnish, english, swedish, the language you chose). Dont tell me you can learn fourth language on top of all this, we have enough school work without extra language. Its funny how you people cling to sweden and cant let go. Its 2012 already.

What makes me "un-Finnish" if I speak another language as my mother tongue in addition to Finnish? And I personally haven't contributed to that you are forced to learn a little bit of Swedish in school, it's the party which I find pretty shit, and I'm pretty sure that most other hurris don't care either if the mandatory Swedish language teaching is getting removed. Also, why not teach ones kids two languages if it's possible and it has been researched that talking 2 or more languages as a mother tongue improves some parts of the brain, so I don't really find any downsides of that either.
