Finland

First of all, I dont' hate anyone and I don't dislike many people, none of whom happen to be Finnish.

I'm a member of 2 forums, TA and DI. On each of them there is one person who just can't resist a relentless insult whenever the opportunity arises. Both of these people are from Finland. Is this just the general temperament of Finnish people? Do they have any idea that they are simply making themselves and their country look bad by acting this way?

In my (perhaps misguided) attempt to solve my own question I have decided that it may be because it's the only way for them to make themselves feel better while living in a country that's so downcast and melancholy all the time. So even though i'm not angry at them, I may feel a little pity for them if this is true.

Also, is it true that most Finnish people are depressed, anti-social, and boring in general? I saw something saying this on a documentary once. Correct me if i'm wrong.

dont blame a whole country for the acts of 2 ppl...this thread is finnished

Misguided would be the key word here indeed.
Though this post certainly fits the typical american steretype perfectly.

The funniest person on ta is from Finland (Sorry jp, but Nik really is hilarious ), so, err, no. I've come across a lot of Finns on the Internet, and all of them seem like perfectly nice & normal people.

I could easily turn this back on you and claim that all Americans are right wing Christian fundamentalists and war-mongers. Evidently America does have a lot more religious loonies than other western countries, but to claim that all Americans are like that would be plain stupid. Kind of like what you just said about Finnish people, no?

EDIT: Bah, MrM beat me to it.

i think thats a stupid conclusion! that goes to show you dont beleive what u see on tv unless u see it urself!! why would a whole country be depresed?! i mean common thats just plain nonsence!

yeah generalizing a whole country based on 2 people is extremely stupid.

try it for yourself. Pick out 2 random people form the us and generalize them to everyone in the us....including yourself.

it is more likely that those 2 people are just complete asses. I mean I am 120% positive every country has at least 2 jackasses running around posting stupid shit.



so never attack countries.....just the individual tards in the country.

i met two english people once. they lived in london and they liked cheese
therefore all english people live in london and like cheese

By the way, all Australians have pet Kangaroos, wear khakis, and live at least 100 km from their nearest neighbour!

Or Russian eg: Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, Mussorgsky etc...

I'm also on DI. I know the person you're talking about, a real bitch! But still not enough to generalize. Finland produces excellent F1 drivers!


Kimi



and Hakkinen

Finnish people kick ass

As do American people...and Canadian people...and Dutch people... and everybody else

I've known only one finnish in my life, and he was really funny and I didn't have any problem with him.
For me the nationalities steorotyps is shit!, persons are different but not because they were from one country or other. You can't generalize.

Finland is though a very sad country. And by sad i mean the climate. The summer is great but i hate the FUCKING winter. Dark and cold almost half of the year. No wonder people get bored and sad during winters when it looks like this outside. I took that picture last week from my backyard.

lol...I guess the one you dislike on DI is diamondie (forget spelling)

anyways, I find most finnish people here in Sweden to be happy, since my mother is from finland I meet many of them... Many of the older finnish generation are drunks thogh...

One can only imagine what that has to do with anything.

Some of the most amazing computer programmers in the world came from Finland - all those old demoscene programmers and of course Linus Torvalds.
