Influx? Is that what you call it when a few thousand black refugees settle
among 5 million milk-faces over a period of ten years?
We are in dire need of a real influx. Economically, culturally and
genetically.

Like all isolated populations the Finns will need some time to get used to
foreign faces. But I would say that racism in this country pretty well
equals the number of foreigners. In other words, it's quite insignificant.
And you don't see too many skinheads around. Perhaps because of the climate.
But I guess in their skulls there's not much brain that could possibly
freeze.

Reasons why lots of Finns did not like the refugees:
Whereas a Finnish person who is unemployed got the rent paid and about
300 euros extra a month - a refugee would get benefit that was to be
equal to the average income in Finland. Later I saw some articles
saying they did not get the money but the officials and middle-men got
them but people commonly thought the refugees got the money and were
thinking why the richest of the poor nations need to come here and why
are the women not women - only men as refugees. Official numbers
claimed differently but anything official tends to be a lie.
As for groups of people the refugees are probably better off than the
gypsies are.

Or maybe not. Maybe what happens is that when a drunk woman has sex
with a muslim she claims it be rape.
In Finland there is very little foreigners which is a bit sad in my
opinion but that has not stopped women claiming a foreign man has raped
them.

Finnish culture is so different that there is no reason the problems of

ones. Having said that - I am _not_ for _any_ government-assisted
immigration as far as there is 500000 Finns out of work. Including me.
I would be for emigration if I had the money to move my family out of
here. Were the situation different in Finland - was there less than 5
percent out of work like there used to be - then I would be for
immigration.
Sure, that is what will force Finland to borrow money off the big banks.
Soon, Finland will become enslaved to the big banks as it goes deeper into
debt, just like America is now enslaved by its huge debt.

As for my opposition for bringing refugees to Finland - mostly it is
because they do not seem to be able to figure out which ones are the
most needy. There is no point in bureaucratic corrupt screening
processes or taking a stick and measuring their members when it would
be easy to offer a better life for those who actually are in a bad
situation. I would be for slowly increasing Finland's population four
to ten times with people from around the world. There is lots of space
around the lakes for new towns - if anyone was stupid enough to want to
come here.
As for the problems in the other countries - I have no idea which
causes them - but I could imagine they been taking in people to do
simple servant-kind jobs like Swedes took Finns in to do and then the
people with different skin colors found none and were pushed into
criminality - with the only option being to starve --- because the
central bureaucracies have no idea of what is going in the society.
Biggest problems in Finland are all the countless crooks who pose as
holier-than-thou entreprenours with dirty business on the side and the
politicians listening to them - not the refugees.
For me it does not seem that the number of foreigners in a country has
so much to do with its economical or other progress. What creates the
problems is that when people oppose the foreigners and the government
thinks differently people take law into their own hands. It would be
better for governments to be honest and say "foreigners will be
executed" than to lie and act "humane"
"Across Europe, far-right parties have used concern over rising crime
and a growing immigrant population to gather support. Voters are
supporting these parties, say analysts, because centrist parties have

In the chart there is far-right parties for Denmark and Norway. I
looked up the number of foreigners - whereas Denmark has relatively
lots Norway has about the same as Finland. There is no far-right
parties here though. Maybe that has something to do with most Finns'
feeling it is not really us who run the country.
Nearest to far-right would be the skinheads who are not that organized
and thus only local problems for the black foreigners.

Really ? According to Danish police statistics, there were 64
reported rapes (and 42 convictions) in Copenhagen in 2001, out
of a national total of 493 reported rapes and 304 convictions.
Are you claiming that 48 out of 64 reported rapes in Copenhagen
were reported as having been done by moslems ? Or that 32 out of
42 convictions were against moslems ? Or something entirely diffe-
rent ?
There seems to be on the order of 4-500 000 people in Copenhagen.
You claim that 5% of these (ie around 20-25 000) are moslems.
Even if we assume worst case, and say that 48 out of 20 000 moslems
in Copenhagen have been reported as committing rape, then that would
mean that 0.24% of moslems in Copenhagen are reported as rapists. Or
equivalently, that 99.76% of moslems in Copenhagen are not reported
as committing rape.
I wouldn't be overly worried about moslems in general being dangerous
for society based on those stats. And those stats are based on worst
case assumptions and unsubstatiated claims from you.
Where do you find the stats to support your claim that moslems actu-
ally do commit 75% (ie 48 out of 64) of reported rapes in Copenhagen ?

(link to a humoristic page where people tell of their neighbors)
as I have been told by people who have lived in (all) the neighboring
countries that people in them are much more red-neck like with their
hembrent (I dont know if I got it right - pontikka in finnish and
probably moonshine in english) - denmark I know nothing about - or
maybe a red -neck is not what one calls those guys who drink such - but
here that was about the times of the prohibition when that was popular
in the north at least - apparently people smuggled drink from estonia
to the south - but still - Finns like hunting and fishing - what could
you call them - something like this they are:

There would be tasty foreign food and the foreigners often talk more so
it would not be so darn quiet all the time. I am told it is even worse
in the neighboring countries but have no first-hand experience. There
is a distinct lack of social life in Finnish society.
As for the Winter War - had there been 10 times the population the
russians would have thought twice about attacking in the first place.
However it is cold in Finland so maybe people who the state brings here
would better be young 16-20 so they still would adapt to the climate.
Actually - come to think of it - everybody who went to Finnish army in
Lapland could well be given nationality. Of course everybody who has
enough money to support him/herself say for a couple of years should be
given nationality. That would mean I guess something like 24000 euros a
year so maybe 60000 euros would be enough.

And I ask you to provide links to *credible* web sites making such
claims. Go ahead - let us see what *your* sources are.
Let's take a very trivial simple to check example:
http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/da.html#People
What percentage of the Danish population in 2005 does the Central
Intelligence Agency of the US government think is moslem:
Evangelical Lutheran 95%,
other Protestant and Roman Catholic 3%,
Muslim 2%
So how come you are operating with 4% of the population of Denmark
being moslems ? One wonders why it is so important to you to multiply
by two the correct number of moslems in Denmark ? Is it to make your
scare propaganda "the moslems are taking over" look more realistic ?
What web sites do you base *your* claims on ?

I think that poorly formulated rhetorics is not a substitute for
lack of hard facts.
Put up hard facts or shut up, you poor sorry brit wanker in fake
lederhosen.
Grin,
Stein
I just pointed out that you didn't _even_ have correct numbers for
stuff that is *trivially* simple to check - like the percentage of
moslems in the Danish population.
When you can't even get simple stuff like that right (or alternatively,
when you chose to lie even about such basic stuff), one is very
sceptical
to accept any other claim of your without a proper source.
So - what is your reputable source for the claim that moslems
are the prepetrator of 68% of reported rapes in Denmark and 76%
of reported rapes in Copenhagen ?
Incidentally, you apparently are not smart enough to see that
your two claims (68% in Denmark and 76% in Copenhagen) crashes
your model theory, which roughly can be summarized: "the more
moslems in a place, the larger the risk of rape".
You are still claiming that 5% of the population of copenhagen
is moslems. Right ? I don't have any particular reason to doubt
that figure, btw. And you are also claiming that the more mos-
lems, the more rapes. Right ?
But we have *also* seen that roughly 2% of the population of
Denmark is moslems. That means, in numbers - that there are
roughly 110 000 moslems total in Denmark (total pop: ca 5.3
million).
One of your claim (which I have no particular reason to doubt)
is that about 25 000 of these are living in Copenhagen city
(pop 499 000). That would leave about 85 000 living in the rest
of the country, where they then would form a group consisting
of 85 000 / (5 300 000 - 499 000) = 1.77% of the population.
There were 493 reported rapes in Denmark in 2001.
There were 64 reported rapes in Copenhagen in 2001
Ie, there were 429 reported rapes outside Copenhagen in 2001
In direct numbers, *you* apparently are claiming that for 2001:
Moslems committed 335 (68%) of the 493 reported rapes in Denmark
Moslems committed 48 (76%) of the 64 reported rapes in Copenhagen
ie Moslems committed 287 of the 429 reported rapes outside Copenhagen
Or to put it another way:
In Copenhagen you are claiming that 25000 moslems committed
48 reported rapes - ie 1.92 reported rapes per 1000 moslems.
*Outside* Copenhagen you are claiming the 85 000 moslems committed
287 reported rapes, ie 3.37 rapes per 1000 moslems.
In Copenhagen you are claiming that 474 000 non-moslems committed
64 - 48 = 16 rapes. or 3.37 rapes per 100 000 non-moslems.
Outside Copenhagen you claim that 4 716 000 non-moslems committed
429 - 287 = 142 rapes, or about 2.99 rapes per 100 000 non-moslems.
So, you are essensially claiming that the place where moslems
make up a larger percentage of population (5% vs 1.77%) see
fewer rapes per capita committed by moslems, but more rapes
per capital committed by non-moslems than the rest of the country.
Or maybe it is just that racists generally are too fucking
dumb to even lie intelligently, so when they just grab some
numbers out of thin air to make up claims, they never stop
to think whether what sounds plausible to an undereducated
idiot will still be plausible when analysed by someone who
uses his brain.
Source for your claims. Put up or shut up, dearie.

Due to some odd (deliberately masochistic?) distortion in the way history is
taught in Finland most Finns really believe that Finland was ruled by
'Sweden'. It's as clever as saying today that Ostrobothnia is ruled by
Finland.
Truth is of course that there existed until 1809 a Kingdom of Sweden, which
geographically was made up of Finland (in older times called Österland =
'Eastland'), Götaland, Norrland, and Svealand.
Finland sent its representatives to the riksdag (parliament), and when the
king was still elected by the people, also the Finns participated. (This
happened first time on February 15th, 1362, and to commemorate that, the
presidential election in Finland is carried out on that day.) Numerous
Swedish military commanders were from Finland (not to mention troops), and
Finnish noblemen rose to high positions in government and sometimes in fact
ruled the whole country.
You might say that at least the kings were 'Swedish', but even that lasted
only for a short period. Soon enough the Vasa lineage was diluted with
German blood. (Later, also the Czars were genetically mainly German!)
When the kingdom was divided in 1809, the western part kept the name Sweden.
If it would have called itself something else instead (like e.g.
Väst-Sverige), today's Finns wouldn't nurture this strange misconception
that Finland used to be ruled by Sweden.
The Finns should start to appreciate their own history. They didn't just pop
up from out of nowhere in 1809 or 1917.

Yes ;-)
That is, I regard myself as:
1) A 'Varsinaissuomalainen' (someone from 'Finland Proper');
2) A Western Finn;
3) A Finn;
4) A Nordic (I would say Scandinavian, but the Norwegians wouldn't
understand it...);
5) A 'Balt' (someone from the Baltic Sea basin area);
6) A Northern European (someone from the mainly protestant part of Europe);
7) A European (someone from an EU member country);
8) A Westerner (someone from the Euro-American cultural sphere);
Do I need to go further? A Human. A Mammal. A Vertebrate...
But I don't see myself as a 'Finland Swede' or a 'Helsingforser' (although
born in Helsinki). Maybe because I've been living more abroad than in
Finland.
That just means that you have been deculturalised and are a fawning admirer
of the concept of multiculturalism. By the way, if you are a Finland Swede,
you are spelling Andersson wrong.
David dear - you do seem have _quite_ a set of predjudices. Ever
had a private talk with a psychologist ? Might be a good idea.
You do seem to have some issues - like this bizarre need to tell
the natives *how* they (in your opinion) should live to preserve
or "save" a culture you apparently is utterly clueless about, and
your need to denounce them as "traitors" if they don't behave as
*you* expect them to.
Wazzamatter ? Not feeling appreciated in Britain, so you are trying
desperately to find someone - anyone - who would like you somewhere
else ?
If so, your social skills need a little work - your behavior here
is *not* the way to win new friends.

Well Mr Rypern, I think that the psychological approach is more apt with
reference to multiculturalists. They like to continually view themselves in
the mirror: will people think I am moral if I say this? will people look up
to me if I say that? does my bum look big in this? It is like a continual
pretence of concern for people they don't give a damn about. I will overlook
the "you is" conjugation you employed above - can't expect much more from a
Norwegian. But the broader point is that multiculturalism eats at the fabric
of any society; I would have thought you would know that, with your Progress
Party and all. But of course you have a Crown Prince who is married to a
druggie slapper, and a Queen who likes to perform on all fours for the
camera talking to the druggie's kid, so your "culture" is rapidly being
traduced...

My point exactly, David dearie. You do seem to feel a strong psycho-
logical (or maybe even psychopatic) need to try to "save" e.g Norwegians
(or Danes, or Swedes, or Finns) from themselves.
Why ?
Grin,
Stein
As far as I remember I haven't discussed multiculturalism with you (or
anyone else) in this newsgroup. Ergo, you cannot possibly know what I think
about that particular topic.
Your conclusion, as a matter of fact, is a logical somersault. The list that
I provided rather points in the direction of eurocentricity.
By the way, if you are a Finland Swede,
> you are spelling Andersson wrong.
Didn't I just point out that I am _not_ a Finland Swede? But regardless of
that, the Nordic -son and -sen names can be spelt pretty much at the
discretion of the bearer. E.g. if are a Karlsson you might also spell it
Carlzon, like the former SAS CEO does.
If that were the case, no one in NOrway would be voting for the Progress
party. As it is, there are plenty of people in Norway who see the issue in
the same terms as I.
No, the list you provided was proof that you regarded yourself as a member
of ever wider circles, ultimately the world!

Irrelevant.Why do *you* feel a need to tell people in other coun-
tries how they should behave, even telling them that they are
"traitors" if they disagree with you about the supposed dangers
of allowing immigration ?
It wouldn't just happen to be because you feel that you have to
protect the supposed purity of the "white race" or some such racist
claptrap, would it ?

When lots of people have the same surname it probably is a good idea to
start to differentiate between them.
Sounds like your norwegian or at least have lived there. Brits would
never call anyone else "a druggie slapper" as they have a really strong
pro-drugs culture, (as does Norway), a pro-drugs culture in where to
refuse drugs is a really bad and wrong thing to do and the society
being unshamedly corrupt, can cause extreme problems such as being
locked up and drugged and/or criminal conviction. Often for drugs.
Nobody would speak against drugs or claim someone else does them in a
negative manner at least using their own name. Norwegians have a
capability of having double-standards which the British often do not
possess, so there it would be okay to say something like that.
Among the muslims it is totally okay not to take any drugs or even
booze. I see no problem in such progress. If they bothered to forbid
tobacco as well they might calm down enough to take over the world.
Christian values are different and those christians with harder values
seem to do better than those with softer "let's try all"- values.
In Finland too but the political culture is different. The skinheads
have no say so they are quiet.
Not that they would be against arabs, aren't they associated with the
neonazist thoughts of the arabs being allies in the fight against the
jews ?
Quite a new thing to be against arabs - it must be as I have never
heard of it before. Well - I dont think I ever saw one. No jews here
either after the second world war at least so the skinheads have had
only blacks and white people who wear the kind of clothes that black
wear to be against.
Being against arabs - must have come now when the american army has
been attacking Iraqis for a while. The hate seeks new victims and
whoever is weakest at the moment is attacked.
Ever occur to you some do not exactly love the way of life there is at
the moment ? The weather is not about to get warmer no matter how many
people of different cultures there was introduced but otherwise life
might actually get better.
Well they would not be foreigners anymore if they were given Finnish
nationality. I doubt many would want to come here as there obviously
are warmer alternatives with better economies but were someone a bit
simple and wanted to come here he or she would fit in fine. To say it
directly - Finns are a bit simple after generations of inbreeding.
On a personal level - I always wanted a clever wife so kids would have
a chance in the world. Ended up with a Finnish one (and a divorce is
imminent if someone translates this to her) who ...well.. I'll find
some jokes to describe her
http://www.frontiernet.net/~tzuleger/webjokes/red/redrules.shtml
http://www.frontiernet.net/~tzuleger/webjokes/redneckjokes.htm
..who is too old have children and drinks a lot more than I do.
How is it treason to try to save the country from its cultural
mass-suicide ?
I am not talking about purity here. I am of mixed origin myself but my
point is that if you immigrate to a country from abroad you should make
some attempt to assimilate into that country's mainstream society. The
immigrants that come here dont do that generally. Many never learn
English and complete disrespect us as Americans. We are losing our
national identity very quickly here. I don't believe in racial
superiority but I do believe there is validity in cultural superiority.
African culture is completely at odds with Nordic culture and if you
don't stop the negro invasion you will live to regret the day you
allowed them into your countries. Listen to those who already know!
Save your countries!
Yes they would. Official nationality has nothing to do with nationhood. You
cannot relabel a dog as a cat and insist it is a cat.

Why do you feel the need to do your own race down? No other races do. I

You, sir, would have made a natural "know-nothing" in the mid-1800s.
That is when some of your ancestors was complaining about how the
Irish and Polish and what not emigrants were "eroding the fabric of
your culture".
If your ancestors had even arrived in the US by 1850 or so. A *lot*
of Americans has ancestors who arrived between 1880 and 1920 or so.
So what time are you refering to as a "much happier time" above ?
When were *you* born and in what part of America ?

What on earth are you babling about ? What "negro invasion". There
are presently over 4.5 million Norwegians, and a mere 349 000 (7.6%)
people with immigrant background.
Of these 349 000 people with immigrant background, 289 000 came
to Norway themselves, and 60 000 were born in Norway to two parents
born outside Norway.
If you look at the background of these people, 40% came from Asia,
16% from Eastern Europe, 15% from other Nordic countries, 12% from
Africa, 10% from Western Europe and 7% from various other places.
12% of 349 000 people is about 42 000. In a population of 4 577 456
people. 0.91% of the population. No matter how different you believe
human cultures to be, that's hardly a drop in the bucket.
But by all means - feel free to tell me what *you* think will make
a person from the continent of Africa unable to have pretty much
the same basic values as anyone else when it comes to building up
society instead of tearing it down.

Yep, having a poorly functioning binary brain (where *all* choices

Correction: some of your ancestors WERE complaining... "And what not" goes
at the end of a sentence, eg Irish and Polish and what not. Strictly
speaking it's incorrect used adjectivally. As to the content of the
paragraph above: it is a matter of history that the Irish and Polish, being
white, have assimilated into America. Now you may argue that other
minorities will do so too, but to argue that you would have to argue AGAINST
multi-culturalism. You would need to argue that one day the ethnic
minorities will drop their immigrant cultures and assimilate on the basis of
AMERICAN culture, as have the Irish and Poles. For one thing, that means
Hispanics no longer speaking Spanish, just as third generation white
immigrants of various linguistic backgrounds generally only speak English.

Well to highlight Africans is to pick on one egregious example. I expect
your interlocutor meant non-whites as a whole, who are just over 50% of your
sample, or say 4% of the Norwegian population. If it can be permanently
frozen at 4%, that is one thing. But in the UK the non-white ethnic
minorities were 9% of the population in the 2001 census, but about 17% of
the population under 5. As they say in the US, do the math!!

Well that depends on such factors as crime rates. The point is refugees come
from FAILED countries. They are unlikely to improve our societies by
bringing their problems with them. England is a major centre of terrorist
finance, and many refugees are known terrorist who - yes I know, it is
almost unbelievable - will not be sent back to their countries by the
British governments in case they are executed by their own governments for
terrorism. If you are a terrorist and you turn up at Heathrow airport, you
are, as the Irish, "in like Flynn".

No. Look at how people look like. In eastern and northern Finland there
are people who like to talk and do not boast how mighty they are. In
the west there are lots of those who look exactly like Swedes even
though they speak Finnish. What has happened you may ask ?
The Swedish viking came and raped the women and killed the men (or
v.v.) and they did that enough times the people started to look like
Viking. Think now. 1 Finn 1 Swede = 1/2 then 1/2 Finn 1 Swede = 1/4
then 1/4 Finn 1 Swede = 1/8 later it happened the Swedish king took the
peasants - the Finns who were not given stolen land - and forced them
fight in his army in Germany. They died there - meantime - the Swedes
who were given the land and the taxes stolen from the Finns were
impregnation the Finnish women and even today it happens as the Swedish
or Viking population has more money they are able to attract women in
larger numbers than the Finns.
Not expensive to move but too expensive as is taking a wife.

Yes, this is the first sensible you have said. I don't hate the
foreigners!!!!! I do despise our governments! The immigrants are only trying
to better themselves. But our governments should be seeking the interests of
our nations, not the human rights of migrants. We have frequently turned
away educated white immigrants from eg Poland (before accession to the EU)
in favour of illiterate Afghan peasants - which hasn't stopped the
government from claiming we need immigrant doctors etc. Because those Afghan
peasants all have degrees in medicine, you know!
Truth? Is truth always dramatic and divergent? Perhaps it is simply boring
and self-evident.
You lack the outside-view. As a Finn you probably assume those around
you act like they do all the time. Not so. To different nationalities,
members of a nationality act differently.

Not so in England. Only a small percentage of Viking blood. Maybe they
did not appreciate the English female or male beauty.
Not just because of the obvious, but because their biochemistry is all
wrong for the Northern Hemisphere.
Sure, we all started out for Africa, but that was billions of years ago
and we evolved along the way, whilst moving North. You can't just
pluck a black person out of the jungle or desert of Africa and plop him
down in a totally different enviroment.
Why not?

Speak for yourself. I've never looked up to 'them' (how can you look up to

Maybe you should visit a couple of Scandinavian neighbour countries. That
might broaden your strangely narrow perspective.

Well - I did include the links for the famous hobbies of snus and
moonshine. Well known here too - snus not being legal to sell, still
widely available from most kiosks at least in northern Finland as the
law enforcement does not mind about such stuff that they use
themselves.
I have no desire to visit cold places. Despite sometimes having to -
probably sounds funny: I was too stupid to talk with my wife's father
