so, who is it.........?

[MrFun]

Well now that you asked, I can't think of someone.

[Pekka]

Tough, but good question.

I'd say sure, I think my dad is a hero to me as of now and recently. But you mean other kind of heroes?

Hmhh...... really really tough question.
Locals, I'd say Mannerheim. The man with huge cojones, ambition, drive, skills and cojones. Dead.
And Törni aka Thorne, great troop leader and expert of guerilla warfare. Dead. These two persons contributed huge amounts to the fact that I was born in a free and independent country.
My dear and good friend who onced saved my life. Unfortunately dead.

Non-residents, I'd say.. hmmh.. for the sake of the thread someone who is pretty known then ok..
Hugh Hefner, never met the man. Alive.

They held the Soviets off? Or the Nazis? or both?

You wish .

And yes, I'm stalking you again... be afraid, very afraid.

Oh, and my hero is barely alive. Poor Ronnie .

Nazis didn't attack us..... though we had a 'war' when we fought nazis out of Finland, but then again it wasn't a real war since they got the message and went away themselves, and we followed them to our borders like a day or two behind. To avoid 'unnecessary' combat and lost of lives. They fought the rooskies, but it's interesting that Mannerheim actually served in Russia for the Czar for a long time. He's the man, the myth, the legend.

[MrFun]

Ronnie is a fvcking assh*le, but I won't hold your worship of him, against you.

[Imran Siddiqui]

That's ok... at least I don't worship Cher .

[Pekka]

How old is Cher anyway? 89?

[MrFun]

Should I pretend that was a good flame?

Wasn't it the way Finland handled Russia that convinced Germany to push (edit: further) East?

[Pekka]

reds4ever, Yes. But then again Rooskies got a lot better when they learned the tactics we used to fight them, so eventually they got wiser, but Hitler saw our front and thought Rooskies would be easier than he first thought. But Rooskies proved Hitler wrong.
