   Also that you are more interested in "your nation is worse than my   
   nation" insults than in either truth or relevance.   
      
   I'm mildly surprised that nobody on the Finnish side of these threads   
   has either posted disagreeing with you--at least that I've noticed--or   
   made any other attempt to disassociate themselves from you, given the   
   large gap between your behavior and theirs. Hopefully that means that   
   they trust me to be less of a collectivist than you are, and not to   
   blame them for you.
