We here at Hong Kong may be a bit higher, probably approaching 100%. When you see Fillipino mates and eighty year old women walking around with them, you know you have it in the bag

What it appears, is totally different from the statistics. I wonder how much that "probably approaching 100%" really is. For example, I don't know _anyone_ in real life who does not have a cell phone, actually I myself was the last person I know to get one, and I felt like I was the last man against stupid cell phone boom right before untill I got it, and that was _2 years_ ago...
Funny thing, Rasbelin told in Suomithreadi that he is going to get a cell phone, he does not have one now!!

P.s Actually I know people irl who do not have cell phones, but they are 6 year old children.

Yep, and the last.

Just for the record, Finland has been surpassed by quite a few countries in number of mobile phones/person. I can't recollect the list right now (read it in the newspaper some 6 months ago), but I think there were about 5 countries with higher penetration than us.

Of course, it all depends on how you count.

When Americans appear in large numbers on Finnish forums, displaying a wit and command of language in a foreign language that puts the natives to shame, then you can start boasting.

I'm well impressed with Finland.

Of course, the saving grace of the British is that we know we're sh!t.

Ok, it's 7.12 here already. Let the beatings begin!

"When Americans appear in large numbers on Finnish forums,"

Finns aren't appearing in large number on an American forun. They are appearing in large numbers on a Greco/Canadian forum.

[Seneca]

An English-speaking forum, however.

But I bet those Finns could speak Greek and Canadian just as well!

we have to choose between USA and Finland, well didnt take me much to decide

(who went in space first, Finland or America?),

yeah but the finns came from space. that must count for something

By the way, why hasn't Stefu put a Santa hat on my avatar?

Not the picture, any fool could do that. I mean, why hasn't he put a 100-foot Santa hat on the actual Clifton Suspension bridge? On both towers, mind.

I will hold all Finns to be a shower of shallow-talking fools until he does.

[Evil Knevil]

Well their language does seem to come from another planet (no offence my Finnish overlords).

Anyway its fun laughing at America's hubris. I suspect that within my lifetime America will suffer the consequences she deserves.

I can't understand what's so funny about our language.. I mean when I was in states, a woman actually interrupted me and my friend talking 'what language is that?' and after I told her 'Ok.. is it ok if I listen to a bit? Do you mind? Just think I'm not here'. And then she was next to us, listening. It was so weird and when she asked if we were feeling uncomfortable.. well I just couldn't lie .

Last time I was just listening a language I couldn't understand without reason was when there were some Ethiopian dudes in tv, and they were making all these clicking sounds etc..
