- Yes! The comment about the Finns was pretty offensive wasn't it?
- But, WUMpuss, it was not put there as a real bashing. It was put there as an
- example of how stupid such a statement can be. You tell me the difference
- between the statement about the Finns, and the "psychic" statement and the
- likes produced by SOME of our European friends on the net.
-
- The issue is not whether they are being provoked or not. The issue is not
- who's bashing which country. The issue is people resorting to ethnic
- slandering for their alleged arguments. I don't have anything against the
- Finns or the Germans. I simply don't think the ethnic-bashing methods that
- SOME of the readers on here use for a lack of better thinking, are very
- useful and intelligent.

- Let's hope so.

- ps: I'd be pretty stupid to let you speak on my behalf anyway, so
- apologize for yourself.
