HYPER?? HYPER!?!? YOU CALLING US HYPER!?


Let me tell ya something, rebel -- it was you guys who frayed our nerves with the Civil War hyperbole!

You want hpyer, I will give ya hyper, reb!! First off . . . . . .



(dramatization)

I don't think I referred to you at all.

By the way I have a very high opinion of the rest of the world. What part of Tennessee is Europe in anyway?

You said people who live in the North.

See -- you Southerners don't even know basic geography -- Iowa is part of the North.

"we have freedom of speach. You do not."

Well, we have freedom of association, which many European countries do not.

But to answer your question, there are all types of Americans and I would hesitate to even use the term "representative" of an American POV.

You never know. Maybe he was being sardonic.

Dude, did you run into Archie Bunker at the airport?

Hey, you are with the terrorist?! Huh? Huh?

I only meet nice people in USA (Boston & Cap Cod).

Nice looking girls asking to be teached of the art of french kiss.

Looking at how little distant Amerian posters take to that guy, I'm actually shocked. I thought you guys had at least some sense in your minds, but now it's all over. I thnik at this point (Yes, a Finn getting annoyed by a yank in the airport) the EU should declare war. Nuclear war.

Honestly SlowwHand. How can you be so moderate? That guy was an arse-hole!

I just love how some people call you a friend of their enemy just when you don't give them right in every point

[Jaakko]

I just have to say that the Amis I know here in Finland are all great guys.

But I won't say anything about you 'Polytoners...

Edit: and it was a bad idea to start arguing with a Finn. He was lucky it was only Pekka, a fairly house-broken specimen.

[SlowwHand]

I keep telling you (and all) Ecthelion, I am the embodiment of moderation.


And of course the guy was an *******. That's fairly evident.

How does it FEEEEEEEL to be such a sorry excuse for a superpower that you have to rely on a nation whose greatest military achievement in recent years was blowing up a Greenpeace boat to even get independent? Does it make you feel GOOOOOOOD?

Better then the English, who lost to those Cheese eaters in the USA, but then, there was only a few million of us then, if there were more, we would turn Finland into a radioactive crater.
And I wonder why you didn't include the Spanish, the US's other ally in the revolution, who did such dire damage to Britain in the south.

Interesting conversation Pekka, I like the part where the guy claims to have saved you in WWII, guess he didn't know that Finland was a German ally (altough only to regain what was stolen in the winter war), and surrendered to the USSR, not the US.

You fly off the handle all the time, and you say we aern't calm?

[SlowwHand]

NOOOOOO. Not me. You can't mean, ME.

[chequita guevara]

Ecthelion, it's not our job to answer for all 280+ million of us. The guy's obviously a nut job, but he does have a right to his opinion.

Perish the thought.

I bet the guy was from Chicago. You know how they are.
