Finland for Thought Politics, current events, culture - In Finland & United States
Tervetuloa | Welcome I'm an American who's been living in Finland for five years. I started this blog to address some of the political, cultural, and current event issues in Finland and the United States. I am a strong advocate of liberty, individuality, equality, and tolerance. Enjoy!
terve! from infinndel from massachusetts….
i see the evidence that once again that trampy tarja likes to get around…
it appears to infinndel that tarja is Putin’s poodle,dancing a dangerous tango with future diktatorrr of RUUSHIA.
YES! Dangerous to Finland, and could drive finland to be an enemy of U.S.A.
I have personaly observed a dramatic shift of Finnish peoples attitudes about America and Americans over the last 15 years on my many finland trips.
prior to 9/11 JIHAD attack on AMERICA ,i was amazed at all the finnish people i met that said they liked america and its culture.i also could see how much American culture was evident all around Finland…
SATANA! HOW THE TIMES HAVE CHANGED!… ;(
Now,in finland and in all of western europe,an insane hatred of America,Bush, Americans and its culture is rampant..but we in America are watching Europian Union fall into the quagmire of *MULTICULTURALLISM* and *POLITICAL CORRECTNESS* ..when the European Union aka EURABIA falls apart America will only watch and laugh at stupity of those native people of NORDIC region who have lost the VIKING spirit ……HEI HEI! infinndel

That’s what happens to you face, if you eat too much Baltic sea herring.

Times sure have changed. I went to buy a Chevrolet some time ago, but they tried to sell me some damn rice burner, previously known as Daewoo.
Bought a Renault instead.

This what happens when you cross pickled red cabbage and Baltic herring in one serving. So much for diplomatic relations.

“when the European Union aka EURABIA falls apart ?” “new flare-up of violence after youth gangs, some carrying handguns, torched — and in one case hijacked — three buses near Paris on Wednesday,”
it has started. Way down in France. You all need some help? I would love to give you the NO answer. Better start investing money in police units.

once upon a time in ROVANIENI, i was hungry after to many LAPIN KULTAS…
…i was searching….what should appear …like a shimmering mirage…. its golden glorious arch…beckoning….

I moved back to the US from Finland a while ago, and while I prefer living in the US, I really miss the Finnish sense of humor. Thanks for the laugh BigRedJohnson and JG!
By the way, I’ve eaten reindeer, sat in a sauna many times, and probably speak better Finnish than inFINNdel, can I be an honorable Finn?

ahaha i would man but this guy does this on every damn topic. i’m tired of this. if phil’s discussion was related then ok fine but jesus, he was talking about finland’s ecological footprint for god’s sake. what could possibly bring religion into this??

for an example, please refer to the posts under the picture of halonen and Yushchenko…this was taken over by a rabid monkey called infinndel.
is it any surprise that winter and innfindel hold the same views?
neither can spell, both seem to have iq’s of 35, and both seem to be 12 year olds.
particularly, i love the way he signs his name after every single sentence…racists need to shot
also, both have an uncanny ability to bring religion, racism, and bigotry, to every damn unrelated topic…racists need to shot
so this has been a post by racists need to be shot…racists need to be shot…
i think i’ll go post this in the other thread just to piss off infinndel and see what kind of childish comments we can squeeze out of this one…racists need to be shot..
he seems to be particularly keen on opening his mouth to reveal the stupidity hidden inside …racists need to be shot..

That’s just cruel Phil - you shouldn’t laugh at the lepers.
Yushchenko’s face looks alot better these days. He’s not the toad he was couple of years ago. Cant say the same about prez Halonen though. Man, if only bad hairstyle was an impeachable offense in Finland.
Dont know if infinndel and winter are the same person or not, but I think both of them would find them selves more at home in “freeperland” than here.
Comment by BigRedJohnson — Sun, Oct 29th, 2006 @ 9:34 pm
Why should it matter how Halonen looks like? So what if she looks like a sad excuse for a transvestite? This superficial concentration on the looks of a female politician is such a typical sign of male chauvinism. With how many male politicians does the hub of the public speech revolve around their looks?
Get over it. Critizise her actions or lack of but that childish “oh she’s so ugly” really doesn’t put you in a good light.
Comment by Ã…boy — Mon, Oct 30th, 2006 @ 1:08 am
I’ll get over it when her current six years are over. Twelve years of Halonen is a lifetime sentence.
oh my god i think aboy actually said something i agree with.
my friend showed me the press report where finland was first before i saw it here and my reaction was, ‘political incorrectness in finland constitutes making fun of the president’s hair. you’re not going to get any death threats for that.’
I don’t hate bush because he looks like a monkey, I hate him because he acts like one. Halonen could look like an Amazonian Tree Frog for all I care. The day we start choosing our leaders based on looks is the day Finland will go down the drain.
