Interesting, Heltonfan, but hardly surprising. I'm a bit confused by what you are referring to when saying you'd argue if you could. You mean you would dispute the notion that Finland is modern?

We are looked at as a bunch of religious redneck anti-intellectual buffoons. What a stereotype. Just talked to a fellow Democrat who just got back from England who told me he ended up telling strangers he was Canadian when asked. He got sick and tired of defending himself and other countrymen when telling locals he's American. That's how bad it has gotten. You sense the same thing?
