When Fin- land was a part of their country, they used to fight many wars which brought Sweden the position of a super-power in Europe. The problem was that they were only the commanders. The best fighting troops were consisted of Finns. So, when they lost Finland to Russia, their country lost its political position. Most of us Finns despise Swedes. Those submarine conflicts shocked 'em because it was the first threat from the east that we Finns weren't stopping. Imagine, they had to do something theirselves !! National masochism - ha ! If bathing in sauna is something you can't stand, so what? We do what we want. Stay there and stare at your own ah-so-all-american navel. No - all Finns aren't heavy metal fans. In fact, we metal fans are a small minority. ==How can you call me evil?======I==crusader@kannel.lut.fi==I===DEATH======== I Have you spoken to God today...I Punkkerikatu 1 B 22 I TO I I ...And what did He say???
