		<description>As a response to Anonymous&#039; comment, I am a non-white immigrant from the States living in Finland.  Although I so think that racially discriminatory remarks and jokes are acceptable, I don&#039;t think that there is much overt racial bigotry from the younger people.  Although many people seem to equate immigrants with elevated crime levels (possibly statistically supported), etc, most (I am sure there are exceptions) don&#039;t actually act on their underlying prejudices.</description>

		<description>don&#039;t cite that Wikipedia article, it&#039;s shit. incompleteness and anecdotes instead of content. how do I know this? I wrote most of it.

anyway, I suspect the real reason for this result is friction between eurocrats and parochial Finnish public servants.</description>

		<description>&quot;Civilian service gives you allows you to get work experience&quot;

Depends on the place you&#039;re doing your service at. (Is the work experience your getting beneficial in your future aspirations)

&quot;which helps you find jobs which is useful when people don’t have so much work experience&quot;

See above and BTW way this work experience can be achieved regardless of civil service like getting a real job ;)

&quot;when they graduate from university.&quot;

It depends if you can get a service place in your field of study. Besides most people attending a university have to work to support themselves so they&#039;ll get work experience regardless of wheter they have choosed military or civil service.

&quot;And the longer length of time makes sense as its only a day job while military service is much more intense time-wise.&quot;

Perhaps, but it still doesn&#039;t remove the discriminatory status of mandatory military service. Plus the &quot;intense&quot; time spend in the military depends a lot on what you&#039;re doing. There are plenty of easy &quot;jobs&quot; there and plenty of useless waiting.</description>
