- "Genocide" translates to finnish as "kansanmurha" (a murder of a nation).
- Now, tell me, how many forest-finns (or any finns) were physically *murdered*
- by the swedish government? Were there any death-camps? Any gas-chambers?
-
- The fact that the so called "forest-finns" became swedified is NOT a
- goddamn genocide! Even if the swedish government (as you claim) did it's
- best to speed the process up. Similar things have happened everywhere -
- in Finland it was the saami and the gypsy minorities that were treated this
- way. You are accusing Sweden of _murdering_ a minority! No such thing ever
- took place. You have offended both the swedes and those nations that have
- actually been subject to a true genocide (jews, armenians etc). Unless you
- are a complete idiot (which you probably are all the same), you will now
- apologize.
