Amazing Finns

The more I read about Finland, the more impressed I am with it. Quiet and reserved though they may be, in a life or death situation when push comes to shove, a Finn will not back down. They really epitomize the "strong silent type" of man my dad and grandpa are.

I recently read about WWII and found that in Finland the Jews were so integrated into Finnish society that it would have been extremely difficult for Hitler to get his evil clutches on them. Finns really are wonderful people.

Finland, keep your culture! If you need any reminders of what happens when you compromise it, take a look at your Swedish and Norwegian neighbors and what is happening in their countries.
