If the locals can't to figure out how to make a weapons drop these leaflets on them. The US dropped pamphlets like these on Nicaragua.

Interesting leaflet.

Why does everyone or no one need to speak it? Spanish and French were taught in the school I went to. It was mandatory to take one of those classes or a class that features a language other than English credit (I took a computer programing course which taught BASIC for my language credit)

When I said School board I meant whatever regional school administration you have. For example where I live we have the NY State Board of Education that set the minimum standards to graduate. Its standards are different from the Texas School Board.

You have a different system. It's all ancient politics here, Finland could make a lot of money from wealthy Russian tourists and do more business with Russia if we knew more Russian instead of Swedish. Or even if those Finns who live by the very long Russian border could freely choose whether to study Swedish or Russian in school. Or even to choose German or French as the second or third languages in school, pretty much everyone take English anyway.

I've never said Finland is a perfect country, we have a lot of things we should do better.

Haha, yes. Unfortuantely even in the most positive and peacefull case it will take a lot of political wrangling over a long period for Finland to fix these issues.

You're alright TLAM Strike. :up:

Oh really? Why are Finns forced to speak Swedish?

You're free to show off your swedish language skills here.
That is, IF you have, in fact, been FORCED to speak swedish.

Wasn't it you who called our "scani languages" impossable to understand?

Well I don't speak Danish which sounds like speaking with a hot potato in your mouth.

Min svensk är ganska dåligt men jag fick "bra" från min svensk examen i universitet. Jag lärde mig att tala svenskt genom att titta på svenska television, vi hade två svenska kanaler på tv:n. I min åsikt svenska brudar är snygga och svenska öl är billigare än finska öl, och svenska godisar är billigare också.

Jag tycker inte om svenska ishockey landslaget för de nästan alltid vinner mot oss. Jag tycker om krigs historiet och u-botar och att motionera. I framtiden vill jag resa runtomkring världen. Slut. :)
