I generally let Swedes think so, knowing it's the only rational thought in their lives."In some of its more lunatic aspects, political correctness is merely ridiculous. But in the thinking behind it, there is something more sinister which is shown by the fact that already there are certain areas and topics where freedom of speech, in the sense of the right to open and frank discussion, is being gradually but significantly eroded." -- Judge Neil Denison -
Scandinavians nationalistic? Compared to, say, Greeks?

You can't handle large vehicles, your burgers are small, you whine about heat when you don't have to deal with humidity, northern colleges generally suck at football, the list goes on.

And people, please don't show your ignorance (well, Ignorance, you might be an exception) discussing Finland when talking about Scandinavia. Finland isn't a Scandinavian country. And this isn't the "I know my geography like a Yank" thread."The number of political murders was a little under one million (800,000 - 900,000)." - chegitz guevara on the history of the USSR.

ROFL!
A Greek posting a thread asking if Scandinavians are nationalistic?
That's like the Pope posting to inquire whether Mardi Gras isn't a bit too morally conservative.
Sorry for bringing the Pope into this Stefu.Comment

Yes, most Finns are nationalistic... I wouldn't really call myself nationalistic - I'm really an evil globalist (
) but I do love the Finnish culture. I think I should call myself a Finnish culturalist, then.

This is my personal experience as well, although I'll admit I've only talked to Finns on few occasions.Comment
