Are Scandinavians Nationalistic? Got spare money?

I mean look at them! The vast majority use their own flags! How more low can you get?

The only ones who outpass them are the yankees but we already know they are nationalists.


Can you get a bit more boring please?

What flag would you prefer I used? There's no way in hell I'm switching to the twelve star flag in Swedish colours.

And people, please don't show your ignorance (well, Ignorance, you might be an exception) discussing Finland when talking about Scandinavia. Finland isn't a Scandinavian country. And this isn't the "I know my geography like a Yank" thread.

ROFL!

A Greek posting a thread asking if Scandinavians are nationalistic?

That's like the Pope posting to inquire whether Mardi Gras isn't a bit too morally conservative.

Yes, most Finns are nationalistic... I wouldn't really call myself nationalistic - I'm really an evil globalist ( ) but I do love the Finnish culture. I think I should call myself a Finnish culturalist, then.

It doesn't make you exempt. You choose to live there. And New York isn't as humid when compared to Houston.

I've never been to Finland but I have been told that by and large Fins tend to be anti-social and try not to speak to anyone unless they have to. That's very different from most other countries.

This is my personal experience as well, although I'll admit I've only talked to Finns on few occasions.
