Finland for Thought
             Politics, current events, culture - In Finland & United States

Tervetuloa | Welcome
I'm an American who's been living in Finland for six years (damn!). I started this blog to address some of the political, cultural, and current event issues in Finland and the United States.

...but mostly what you'll find here is: Finnish and American stereotypes, Funny YouTube videos about Finland, rants about our high taxes and low salaries, and [not-so] comedic differences between Finns and Americans. Enjoy! :-)

Introducing the Finland for Thought forum!!

Tags: Uncategorized — Author: Phil @ 10:33 pm

If you get tired of just Hank, Kristian, and I starting all the topics, why not start one yourself?? Do so at the new Finland for Thought forum…

http://forum.finlandforthought.net

I think some of you will really have fun with this. I’ve been wanting to setup a forum for a while, there’s really no open forum on the internet to discuss Finland in English, so here it is. But feel free to discuss whatever you like, nothing gets censored unless it’s spam.

Enjoy!!

UPDATE: If you sign up to the forum and don’t receive the confirmation e-mail, check your SPAM folder.

    Huh??? So you are in denial over Finland Journal Forums, or you got an early case of alzheimer…

    I’ll check it out in any case!

    I know of at least one other forum out there, but I’m pretty sure this one will be much better. Having a blog and forum together is a great idea!

  6. Having a blog and forum together is a great idea!

    I was hoping there was some sort of plugin or something that would automatically place each blog post into the forums, so readers could comment on a blog post here…or in the forum, and the comment would show up on both. But there’s nothing like that yet. (I checked out bbpress, but still nothing)

    Yes. Great. Why donn’t you post there for a while. And nowhere else.

  12. I signed up but the confirmation email hasn’t arrived, so I can’t sign in. Is it something personal?

  13. “what happened to http://www.finlandforum.org

    That’s a good one if you want to know where to get your dog shampoo-d or the best place to buy inexpensive office supplies (as if inexpensive is even in the vocabulary around here). But, it’s not really a place to talk about current events or politics—at least, not usually.

    I’m sure you can talk all about your poodle at FFT Forums too, but there’s also the current events and politics aspect. That’s the main difference in my opinion.

    Quite a brilliant idea of Phil to merge the blog with a forum, if you ask me.
