This is a typical Finnish pick up line! No wonder they go for foreign guys.

And if you're not getting lucky (you're a freak with 3 heads and 6 nipples), you can always take a cruise boat to sweden, that costs maybe 50 bucks, and swedes are hot too. OR maybe even better, go to estonia, costs you less than 20 bucks and takes less than 2 hours from Helsinki, they have lots of hot chicks and they're pretty nice too and approachable. Come here, you can't miss!

I'm surprised that the Kingdom of Tonga is absent -- apparently nobody got the memo that I moved there.

yeah, aint that the truth. You can never be too suttle with women...

[Pekka]

Well we are very famous for not being able to do the small talk, and it's true. We like getting to the point I guess.. Plus you can put it in simple math: you talk to 1 woman.. your chances are X. Talking to one woman takes time Y. You want to minimize the Y in order to big up your X. Now, if you ask from 100 women, chances are you're getting lucky, right? Well, you get my point.

The question the Euro's should really answer is whether they would feel safer if the US changed policy and bedame isolationist - as we were before 1939.

[Pekka]

Hmm.. I don't know. Well not safer in sense, that the US is not threatning our existence. So I think we wouldn't feel any safer if you guys just kept to yourselves.
That could have some positive effects though, EU would finally have to get some work done and put up a decent military, and not just bunch of armies. Though this should be done now, right away.

I think we are not afraid that some outside threat would come to Europe, well except maybe soem random terrorist attacks, but there's no current enemy.
However that does not mean we shouldn't have decent military, and it doesnt' mean we shoudln't help the US. It's long over due already.. We need to get piece of the action too.

Making the Euros feel better should be of minimal importance to us. We should do what we feel is right and let the chips fall where they may. If they want to have their own armed forces that are worth a damn, let em.

[Pekka]

Hmm it's kind of funny. I think if we had a big army and had some wars in some place no one has even heard, I think the US wouldn't oppose very much.. and that's why we need a huge army. And we would be quite angry if they started saying anything, I think. I think it's only fair we had our own war machine, and the US has its own, and let them rock and rumble as long as we don't become enemies.

Based on interviews conducted by Robert Art between 90-94, European military-political elites seem to believe that if the US withdrew thier security blanket Western European states could well return to the "destructive" power politics that typified most of thier history.

I say we join forces, once and for all, and crush the world beneath our Iron Imperialist heal!

Muhahaha!

EDIT: you know you want to

Well that would be a fine howdy do now wouldn't it? So what you're saying is that if they didn't have us to whip they'd convene WWIII all on their own? This must truly be the ultimate secret behind Christianity-people love having someone doing the dying for them. We are a bunch of Vampires aren't we?

[Pekka]

Sounds good. Meet you after the school in front of the cafeteria to make some plans!

I wonder who Americans would pick? I'm betting it won't be America.
