Maybe if I'm busy it could keep me from you



Finnish people are always pretty chill and roll with the punches about Finland; I've yet to meet one who gets angry about people making fun of the Finns. Great people to drink with, they don't tend to get rowdy.

Only the most pasty of irishmen can claim they avoided the Mongol influence.

This is true. One of the largest Finnish communities in my area gathers around the shittiest lake for a thousand miles.

Plus the majority of the soldiers sent up to Finland were from the Russian south. The Russian commanders feared that sending the guys who lived near Finland, and actually knew how to fight in the snow, would be too sympathetic to the Finns to trust. So combine gross incompetence from the Russians with unheard of winter tactics and ingenuity, and yeah you end up with a slaughter.

Finland invented the Molotov Cocktail in that war

Nah, they just gave it the nickname. Firebombs like that had been used for hundreds of years, and were especially popular during the Spanish Civil war a few years earlier. However, they became a staple among the Finns due to the poo poo design of the Russian tanks. Firebombs were used to blind the crew; you set the tank on fire and the people inside can't see what they are shooting at. But these terrible tanks would suck in the flames and bad things would happen.

Finland issues all new mothers a, "maternity box," containing snow suits, a sleeping bag, mittens, hat, condoms (never too early), a towel, various bits of clothing and some other odds and ends in addition to the box itself being usable as a kind of crib/baby storage.

This isn't helping my desire to emigrate.

Not only is this free from the government, but to qualify for it you have to visit the doctor for a checkup, thus causing Finland to have the lowest infant mortality rate in the world.

"A snowy wasteland fill with stolid taciturn drunks," sounds pretty awesome, though.


gently caress I can't wait for winter. This is what a lot of Alberta looks like, and it's beautiful.

please don't compare them, at least the finnish wasteland has beautiful women.

Oh don't get me wrong, Alberta is a festering shithole, no denying that. But it has pretty scenery (as long as you are far from the oil)

None of them have open bullet wounds or severed limbs. Obviously the war is exaggerated.
