Swedish schoolbooks say Finns are good at sports and some other stuff

[Gangerolf]

Well the difference is you are just making stuff up. Have any of our skiers ever tested positive for doping? No.

I think Finnish skiing will recover from that scandal, well maybe it already has. Not that it matters because Norway is probably, as usual, going to win everything in Torino.


and that video is hilarious. I think i figured out one of those swedish minorities - heterosexuals.

[Footie Mad]

That's because basically immigrants are just a fancy word that people use when they speak of "blattar". For most people immigrants mean someone with a distinctively different culture not someone who came here fram across the pond.

Five minority languages have officially recognized status in Sweden: Finnish, Torne Valley Finnish/Meänkieli, Romani, Sámi, and Yiddish. I suppose this is what they are refering to.

And before you ask, yes, several of those are much smaller than recent-immigrant languages like Arab or Serbo-Croatian. The biggest is Finnish.

(Finns are the single largest immigrant group in Sweden. However, they invariably seem to be ignored in discussions of immigration.)

Same as in Norway then. Well almost. The national minorities are kvens (finns, kind of), "woodfinns" (from finnskogen), jews, romani ("tater" in norw) and gypsies. yeah those last two are not the same.

Samis are not a national minority because they have status as an indigienous people.

yeah the video was very proper

Just because you haven't tested positive doesn't mean you aren't doping like crazy men. In fact, most of your athletes are not doping. Just Dählie, Alsgaard did and this new girl.

[Gangerolf]

if any of those are on dope it's that "new girl". she was in the paper - half naked. i thought it was a dude at first.
I think some finnish tabloid based their silly accusations on that picture?

[Pekka]

yeah she's the one I'm talking about. Everyone knows she's dropping hard, it's like you guys live in self denial while the rest of the world knows..

I know, we couldn't believe our skiers were doping at first too.. they were the trusted skiers too, the ones we had grown to know. If someone would dope, it would be someone but not them.. not them... I know it's hard to accept.

[Gangerolf]

well that sucked for you guys, but it's not the case here.

Finland = East Germany of the North when it comes to sports.

(juuust kidding)

[Pekka]

The ones who live in denial have it the hardest when the bomb drops...

Not only is your sports dirty, it's also ugly.

[Kassiopeia]

Tee hee, Norwegians talking about doping.

What's the difference between a Swede and a Finn?















I dunno...

Bill O'Reilly = Sweden.
Jon Stewart = Finland.
