Nope, you are actually refered to as "hurrit" = people who always say "hurray, hurray!". //EDIT: "Kulli" is the male genitalia, not testicle. My mind must've been wandering elsewhere.

Until something blows up (Challenger '86) or half a million Mercedes Benz need to be returned to the factory due to 'oversights'. You can always blame your boss for stressed schedules and lack of proper project management

The language still sucks. And they use our word for **** (kuk - kuka) as a verb or something that doesnt have anything to do with ****. You lost me on that one. There are no finnish equivalents of swedish "pitt", "snopp", "pillen" or "kuk" that are verbs. The closest thing perhaps, is "kuka" (pronounced "koka" with a very short "o", like the "o" in the swedish "kossa") which in english would be "Who"

Being an engineer is awesome. No negative stigma, the bosses leave you alone, the banks have no difficulty issuing a loan, and everyone you meet get the "oooooh"-face of jealousy when you mention that you have "Master's of Science in Technology(Engineering)"-degree. The only thing ranked higher is either an executive or a surgeon. We rule. Back to ME2, what's the word on A.I? both enemy combatants and friendly. The last video i saw it looked like Bioware haven't done nothing compared to the predecessor.

Cussing and swearing works great as long as it is not, like much in life, forced or overemphasized. Too much swearing is like too much moaning in a porn movie, it simply breaks immersion.

Of course it does, it is the same with Friedman's utopian teachings. True communism will never work in practice, and neither will there ever be a truly free market.

Purkake, do you understand the position that he came from? He used the same notion that the finns have about themselves since, well forever, and applied the very same thing on the immigrants. The "humor" lies in that it is ok to stereotype the regular finn, but not the immigrant. Personally, i am firmly believe that free speech is the basic right for any individual. The satirist's views should be debated, not silenced.

By having a culture of individuals conducting business with each other without coercion, creates a society where individuals can have the least oppression /Adam Smith. But on the other hand, by having a free society where individuals can freely join the democratic process, without the use of force on each other, creates a framework where free men can conduct business without outside force /Chomsky. Pick whatever you want, or blend the both

To clarify, he used this statement of genetic predisposition to show the hypocrisy in the current political climate. He succeeded.

By following LoF's mind, Honk Kong has to be the ultimate slave nation, since it is the most capitalistic one in the world. Strangely though, the workers are one of the highest payed in the world as well.

A pretty wellknown satirist in Finland was sentenced today for a 30 days fine for "disturbing the religious worship" for a blog-entry written in his personal blog a year ago. This law basically says that you cannot officially speak of another religion in a bad tone. This law happens to be a residue from the times when 50 different or so congregations of the christian chruch sprung up about 100 years ago. From having a Lutheran church, there were suddenly baptists, seventh day adventists, mormons, laestadians, missionary church foundation, evangelicans and so on...the law simply put in place in order to stop them from starting to kill each other. Fast forward to today: First, there's no denial that he is a nationalist and is not in favour of unrestricted immigration, he is also against the concept of multi-culture. However, he is favor of work- and studyrelated immigration, thus letting the universities and coorporations hire whoever they want. Still ok? Just his thoughts, ok. In order to understand the context of this issue, you have to understand an aspect of Scandinavian culture: Self-hatred. There are countless of movies, musicals, operas, tales and even serious research on psychological aspects of this culture of self-hatred. This is also often characterized and satirically laughed about in newspapers and discussed in everyday life as well. Some people even suggest that this is an inevatible part of the scandinavian (at least, the finnish) spirit. All these themes, musicals, movies and popular culture have in common that it is about misfortunate men, who have difficulties to cope with their current situation and not accomplishing anything, become drunks and finally kill themselves and their family in the end. Every scando can relate to that on some level Got it? Good. Now, this satirist wants to test this self-hatred within the realms of free speech. On his personal blog on the internet, he states the following (roughly translated): "If Finnish men are genetically positioned to fail in life, get drunk, get into knife-fights and finally killing their families, then by the same terms, are Somalian men genetically positioned to commit rape on women, theft and never be interested to actually work? Finally, by following the previous terms: Is the religion of Islam based on worshipping a man who should considered to be a pedophile by todays standards?" The satirist, Jussi Halla-aho, was today convicted on disturbing the religious worship against a religious group: The Muslims, and for defamation against a group of people: the Somalis. No conviction was made for his views on "finnish" people. Remember, no Somali or Muslim did actually accuse him for anything. It was the local state authorities themselves. Unbelievable.

Yeah, i've read some info before about Unit 731. There should be a very detailed report floating around the 'net about the post WWII-trial held in the Soviet Union that covered some of Unit 731's atrocities, but i can not find a link at the moment. The reasons on why it is much more unheard of compared to the Waffen-SS and Einzatzgruppen is that, compared to Germany, Japan has been really silent on its atrocities in the second world war. But i am sure that those guys were really nasty; After all, the thrash-metal band Slayer has a song called 'Unit 731' on their upcoming album

Inglorious Basterds Simply a fantastic movie. Mentioning why would be considered as spoilerific from my part, other than Christoph Waltz deserves an Oscar for his performance. Watch it, enjoy it.

Bioware/Bethesda appreciation thread
Meshugger replied to WILL THE ALMIGHTY's topic in Computer and Console
Here i thought that i was the only one who thought that way about FFXII and FFX. How wrong i was. You forgot to add that they successfully managed to create an incredibly well and thought-out culture(s) around Yevon as well. No other game have achieved that of such high quality (except Torment). FF X-2 had some great moments: Like the intromusic while the credits were rolling, and some other piano-compositions as well. The rest was forgettable. -
Well, if the scots released him on the sole basis of being compassionate to his impending death, then kudos to them really. Being able to forgive such an act requires tremendous courage and strength of character. Heck, i bet even Jesus would be proud of that. But if it is based on the game of realpolitik, even if it would've been quite unlikely like Walsh demonstrated, then "meh".

Israel: Great Country, or Greatest Country?

Yushaa was more passionate and often ignorant about certain facts. But it at least seemed like you communicated with him directly. LoF on the other hand, is way more distant, calculating and is deliberately trolling. -

I meant "carving countries" as in "trying to draw a surrealist painting while drinking Absinth"-carving out contries. Nothing good will come out of it.
