UK is scored as much higher masculinity. Now I am from UK and masculine but everyone in UK knows in Russia they pour vodka on their cornflakes, dine on nails for breakfast and wrestle bears after supper. How is the UK twice as masculine as Russia? Site is nonsense! I actually thought the “professional” test from Heikki might be decent until I compared Masculinity of UK with Russia.

And you're serious. Investigate Finnish migration post 1950 and you'll see the number of Finns that have moved from this place. Now look at returns and migration into Finland. Noice anything? Christ I remember my ex's family in my homeland even getting mail from Finland in the early 90's tempting them to return to Finland. They had lived abroad 12 years and Finland was trying to return citizens to Finland, even offering to pay for flights and resettlement costs including training. How desperate. Needless to say, my ex's family are still abroad and in no hurry to return to that "Socialist hell hole" as they put it. I really should have listende to them closer all those years ago. BTW- I once heard of a Finn on a blog saying "most Americans don't even know the 52 states of The Union" or something to that matter. Imagine what a fool. 52 States??? Gotta laugh except for all that tax money spent on education and they say "52 States..." ha ha ha And you think I’m American. And you’re serious.

Don’t waste my time like that please." Waste your time? Wow. You really feel insulted. Atleast I give some stats to back my opinions, unlike you. Just how much you think the world has changed in 15 years? Show me stats that prove me wrong. The only fact is that only the americans think EU countries as a backward underdeveloped poor countries. One german lad went to US and they asked him does europe have electricity yet. And they were serious. “You’re using stats from the year 1991? Don’t waste my time like that please.”

It is a fact, most know this as a backward underdeveloped poor country and have not only moved away but are better for having done so. You’re using stats from the year 1991?

In facts as a population of a so called "developed" country, you would struggle to find another with such a lhigh level of population that left their homeland and settled elsewhere. I once read there are over a million people living abroad that consider themselves Finnish. Now in a country of 5 million, that means around 20% of what we have today are abroad. That to me says that maybe things are not as you might have us believe Miss South Carolina or then maybe the welfare state just can't afford to take all of them back that want to come.

Let's educate our fellow Americans. Our system is something in between capitalism and communism. It is taking the best parts from both systems. Now pay attention, simple facts follow. Our system seems to be working better than yours. Health care, education, justice system etc works better than their counterparts in US of A. This is what every single finnish-american say when they come back to Finland. Some of them report that even the simple things (like paying bills) may be complicated in the US of A. If you don't believe me, then talk to some finnish-americans who have experienced the life in both countries.

Economic Left/Right: 0.88 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.36 for me according to that, so at least political compass agrees with me that I'm pretty much of a Centrist.
