Virgin Mary appears in...

Sorry, work's been kicking my ass. But to answer you, North, compared to American Public Schools, EVERY finnish school is practically montessouri. Your teachers are taught to encourage the kids to learn things on their own... our teachers are browbeaten into browbeating the kids to shut up, sit down, open your textbooks and copy information from one space to another for the benefit of a standardized test that determines how much money the school will get from the government.

So, remember this day, you finnish fish fucker - the day I said something of yours was better than something of ours

I still hate you, your family and your house pets for what you said about Finns and summer cabins.

I still laugh at finnish summer cabins

Oh, and btw... you finns don't know what summer REALLY is! :finger:

HEY! I lived there for six years. My wife was a cop there.

Which changes what, exactly?

Two words, fart-breath: continental climate. Look it up.

I lived in Colorado for a great many years. I know about cold, dry weather, and having to put up with thin air to boot. I know what it's like to find the moisture in your breath freezing in your beard and moustache, making it crackle when you rub your face.

So try again, you national virtual nonentity

Then you should also know that in a continental climate, the cold, freeze-your-willy-off winters are countered with hot, hot, HOT summers, that range from humidity and thunderstorms to drought.

Unless you've been here, keep your mouth shut about things you know jack about.

I know the highs in helsinki this week rarely get into the 70s. Kuopio seems pretty cool too. Ditto for Sodankyla.

The highs in south texas last week were up around 105, and this week even with constant rain and abundant clouds is barely dipping into the high 90s.

Who knows jack? You, sir, know fuck-all. Laredo would fry your pink pasty ass to a white-chocolate covered raisin.

Are you really arguing about who knows more about Finland?

Really, Finland?

 

[GasBandit]

Are you really arguing about who knows more about Finland?

Really, Finland?

No, we're arguing who has less hospitable summers. You can argue that without a lifetime's personal experience or encyclopaedic knowledge of finland.

What the hell is with you people and posts like this lately? This is like the third or fourth time I've seen a post like this lately. Since when has any post here changed anything or really meant much beyond conversation? I mean I know we're all a bunch of nerds here, but that's the way conversation typically proceeds. Introduce a topic, and related topics branch off of it... you know...like the mean temperature of Finnish summers. Good grief, bunch of bitter old fruits lately.

dude, it's GB, he stays in character.

Their argument has me laughing my ass off

Oh, I beg your pardon. I thought, when you posted after me with "HEY!" you were addressing me directly, and your post was meant to be some kind of rebuttal, as in I was suddenly supposed to say "Oh, Fade's wife was a cop there? I take it all back. Finnish summers are truly hell on earth."

The difference here is that I have not made a single claim about knowing anything about what the weather is like in your part of the globe, while you put yourself up as a frickin' specialist just because you know how to read a weather forecast in Yahoo. So how about you shut your piehole or at least meander back to the Political Thread to bitch about Obama, 'kay?

You still don't know what summer is.

You still don't know what summer is.

According to your definition, it seems to be a period of time when the temperatures reach extreme heights, accompanied by glaring, burning sunlight. In which case I think you're gonna love this piece of property I have in central Sahara...
