thanks for your consideration and time!

If the USA had the same diversity as Finland, the USA would be 95% anglo and 4% Irish American. I am will to bet that if American had that level of homogeniety in culture along with our current system, the USA would easily outperform Finland in almost any statistic imaginable.

PS. Thanks for writing an article that makes such a great case against immigration and multiculturalism.

Not the right ones, those, long ago, Finns and the Irish were both badly treated in America, Irish because of the Brits, Finns because of the Scandinavians. Wasnt Ronald Reagan Irish ?

They fought, did not give up. Finns like giving up and sucking up (or the enemy was different, the Brits wanted to rule the world, giving their likers big positions, the viking loved raping and murdering)
PS.
USA does outperform finland in all the statistics.

Houses are bigger, cars are bigger, newer, better: in Europe, there still is no automatic transmission in cars, in new ones, there is air-conditioning so maybe in 50 years theres automatic gearbox as well. By then, the american ones will fly.

Most probable reason for all the statistics is the multiculturalism and immigration.

Wow, I'm so glad anti-Americanism is still alive and well across the pond (including Finland) in the same idiotic 10% of the population (well...maybe 50% in France and Germany ;-) ). The sad thing about the America-bashing was that about 85% of what was said was completely false and generalized. I even saw a few Fox News Channel comments--since when do you guys get FNC anyway? Seriously. It's sad that a lot of people truly believe everything they read on an internet message board or on some random website. It's sad that a lot of people comment on things that they do not have direct knowledge of.

That being said, I was in Finland for a (frigid) day in March to watch a Jokerit hockey match, and I loved it. I spent five days in Stockholm, and the people in Helsinki were much more friendly and helpful. Yeah, I still got the same uncomfortable look on the train when I asked a question of someone, but they seemed ready to help a non-Finnish speaker. By the way, the Finnish women are more beautiful than Swedish women, and Hesburger is way better than McDonald's (the friend I was visiting just had to take me to Hesburger for dinner, so I could compare it with the "crap" he had at McDonald's in the States).

One day and night in Finland really wasn't enough, and this series of article really rekindled my desire to return for a couple of weeks.

"By the way, the Finnish women are more beautiful than Swedish women, and Hesburger is way better than McDonald's (the friend I was visiting just had to take me to Hesburger for dinner,"

But the Swedish fast-food is better and slightly cheaper than the Finnish fast food. More regulations concerning the freshness and such probably are the cause.

"USA would be 95% anglo and 4% Irish American."
"

12.37 Reflecting a long tradition of emigration to the United States, there are today, according to the most recent census, some 40 million Americans of Irish origin. While large-scale emigration had effectively ended by the mid-1960s, considerable numbers, particularly of young people, have continued to seek opportunities to work and live in the US. The vast majority of them quickly establish themselves in productive employment and are widely recognised as making a valuable contribution to their country of adoption."

The following table includes the number English living in the United States. "English" are defined as people who marked their ethnic origin as "English" on the Census survey in 1990 and/or 2000.

Total Number (1990) 32,651,788

Seems like there is more people of Irish than of English descent.

"By then, the american ones will fly."

The americans can use their flying cars to fly to bank to cash their cheques. Today most of Finnish youngsters probably don't even remember so ancient way of paying as cheque. While Americans hover outside the bank for up to six week waiting for cash or delivery, Finns can use their manual gearbox cars and spend their freetime for something more useful and productive.

Personally I prefer manual gearbox over automatic. But I understand that most Americans cannot even use manual;)

and spend their freetime for something more useful and productive.

not when they're out of work and get no money, lately finnish institutions (i have no idea who is behind such, but some other countries seem to do it too) seem to have bought different stuff that praises the country (pisa, etc.) - just like the soviets did, to keep the people happy. nowadays they must be targeting only the poor - the rich can see how things are abroad themselves and have no reason to believe all the crap the media tells.

The amount of hitech products of finnish exports is going down fast.
(She says companies should invest more but the real reason is that the workforce in finland is badly educated, more higher education would bring more better pay and higher margins etc., the state likes to put kids to meaningless tradeschools, ( in which there are open places ) much more expensive than universities ( to which there 1/5 or 1/10 of applicants get in, except for the swedish-speaking, most of them do get a university education ) are - so they end up jobless: communism at work is ruining the economy and lives of the finns)

Ruotsin oppikirjat antavat T
suomalaisista synkän kuvan T

Ruotsalaisten koulukirjojen mukaan
suomalainen on huonosti koulutettu ja
käyttää huumeita, mutta on sentään
urheilullinen. Ruotsin omasta
suomenkielisestä väestönosasta kirjat
vaikenevat tyystin.

- Oppikirjojen antama kuva
suomalaisista ja Suomesta on aika
synkkä ja vanhanaikainen. Yhtä
ennakkoluuloinen kuin 1960-luvulla,
arvioi Taalainmaan korkeakoulun
ruotsinkielen lehtori Antti
Ylikiiskilä.

Ylikiiskilän tutkimat kirjat ovat

- Kuva on aika synkkä, ja vielä
synkempi, jos katsoo yksittäisiä

mitä koulukirjat kertovat Ruotsin
viidestä kansallisesta vähemmistöstä,
jotka huhtikuussa 2000 saivat
virallisen aseman Ruotsissa.

In short: current Swedish schoolbooks depict Finns as dangerous and non-schooled drug-users.
(As hitler's germany schools said, jews are thieves)

Finland will most likely cease to exist when the next dictator takes over in Europe.
The Swedes will continue with their nazism, that started long before they took it to germany and the result will be no more Finns. Hitler did not believe the Swedes when they said FInns are lower race.
But the hate is stronger, the weapons are better.

Same in English:

http://newsroom.finland.fi/stt/showarticle.asp?intNWSAID=11008&group=General

"The Finn is lacking in education, abuses drugs, plays hooky, dies young and a violent death, but is good in sports, at least. Also, Finland has been to war. This is the image the textbooks convey, Prof. Ylikiiskilä told the Finnish News Agency STT on Monday.

"The image is bleak and bleaker still, if one looks at individual books. The 21 textbooks I went through were published in 2001 or later," he added.
"

The difference between the nazi germany, which disliked the jews, gypsies and communists (etc.) and sweden, which disliked finns, jews, sami and gypsies (etc.) is that the nazi germany ceased to exist: the leaders were killed, committed suicide, were put to trial and given death sentences, were hunted down by the jewish state.
- In Sweden the same leaders and parties continued and continue to be in power.

The countless skulls that still today are shown in Swedish racial biological museums, no need to bury them as they were not considered human then, not considered human now.

How incredibly corrupt the Finnish political system is, is easily checked by looking at what the candidates, for example in the presidential election (later this month) say of the forced Swedish:
Only one is for language freedom, the rest are for forced Swedish for all. Probably they thought very differently before becoming politicians, but then the parties ordered what to think and those who make the decisions in the parties have been bought - as are the candidates, with the power given and promised - not one Finn likes forced Swedish, yet all must study it. There is even some professor of the Helsinki Business School as a candidate, talking crap about how important Swedish is - to the economy - when Finland trades more with several other countries, the languages of which are not taught at all in most schools. The cost of having two languages, one of which all must study, is huge, all Swedes must be serviced in their language in all of the country, though most will never see one of the masters during their lives. Yet there are some towns where there are only Swedes - speak Finnish there, be beaten up.

There is no chance of anything like the Jack Abramoff thing happening in Finland, either - any police investigating politicians loses his job very quickly in this country.

The same happens with the press, only stuff for the forced language is allowed, nothing against, (as in, have one small story against the supression of freedom - and 50 big ones for) there is no press freedom in Finland.

Also the candidate who is for freedom, is from a small party (his own) so no hope for getting elected, will get some votes as he is also against EU, from the people against EU - most do not even know he is for language freedom and his party (because of that) has been called nazi etc. in a very rude and untrue manner, as the man is a devout, well-mannered, not outspoken Catholic (which alone is enough to make sure he cannot be elected, as the country is not).

"good example of the quality programming of FST (Swedish television of Finland, the tv with the best funding here) on tv1 and at the same time on fst is the rerun "musta lammas lähtikö hammas"
jossa jonkin Deep South MC:n johtaja kehui kuinka heilläpäin oli tapana vetäistä suomalaisia turpiin heti suomenkieltä
"where some deep south mc leader proudly proclaimed how where he lived, they used to kick some finnish ass immediately after hearing finnish with the finnish-speaking police not daring to speak finnish either"
kuullessa eikä suomenkielinen poliisikaan uskaltanut suomea puhua.
(two years ago they made a law that the police MUST speak swedish to their masters)

Presidenttiehdokkaista vain yksi uskaltaa olla kielivapauden puolesta. Muut on lahjottu tai peloteltu ruotsin ylivallan alle.
"of the president-hopefuls only one dares be for language freedom"
"rest have been bribed or intimidated to be for the rule of the swedes"

"The countless skulls that still today are shown in Swedish racial biological museums, no need to bury them as they were not considered human then, not considered human now."

Are there Finns too or jews and such ?
I think I read somewhere, the australian government has been asking for the aborigin people's skulls be given back but they have declined.

"innovation"... What innovation ? The amount of hightech continues to go down, smaller and smaller numbers of exports are that, universities teach how to memorize..

What a discussion here! I just wrote about this in my new blog "about Finland and all things Finnish":

http://finlandforall.blogspot.com/

Finns simply fail to be a bit uncritical of their home country at times. Even here!

""The countless skulls that still today are shown in Swedish racial biological museums, no need to bury them as they were not considered human then, not considered human now."

Lots of jews. After the tsunami, very important to get to bury those rich holidaypeople who were there, doing whatever. But not so important about the lesser races still in the museums - they were all thieves and killers, defined such by the race.

"FST:n laadukkaista"..
Wonder how they manage the election fraud election after election ?
They (finland swedes) do not really get on well with each other, the towns where they live do not exactly like each other, they have dialects so much different they do not much understand each other etc. and not many claim to vote for their own party, yet the party always gets a lot of votes and ends up in power. Small towns - elections give the the results wanted ?
