I never claimed finland to be perfect, you are claiming USA is..
about finland in MY opinion, not sure about facts;
1) We've only been independent since 1917, but you americans seem to forget that you are a VERY young country as well.
2) I take pride in being a finn, but I do not rub it on you and try to convince I'm better than you.
3) Finland is the only country after ww1 to pay their war debts in full. But after my rant I can't take credit in that. I didn't pay them. You shouldn't be judged or judge by what your fathers or their fathers have done either.

4) We are an independent country, and have been since 1917.. even though we've been at war after that. Many aren't.
