You're white. How much responsibility do you bear for this?

As for slavery in Finland, OTH is quite right in that there have not been any widespread/general slavery here (I'm pretty sure that was the case when we were under Swedish/Russian rule aswell). Which is propably why Finland doesnt have any laws specifially dealing with slavery.

I'm pretty sure he was referring to the white population in the US (surely you knew that before posting? ).

What about if it was a white American who had emigrated from Finland?
How about a native American whose ancestors kept slaves?
Maybe a fella from Mauritania living in the US but still having slaves back home.
It does imply that Herrings white American guilt idea is bollox.

Finland had slavery abolished by the Swedes in the 14th C.
Then later when Russia took over they didn't extend the policy of serfdom into the dutchy

Whatta ... Is this a boyscouttbringssporktoclass/Americansareracist&violent Thread?!!! ...Oh wait, it's the typical Subsim thread warp in action!

1. None of this would've happened if common sense would prevail.
2. The US has some spectacular FAIL!!! zero tolerance policies (remember that guy who was arrested in the plane because his shirt had a pic of Optimus prime holding a fusion canon?! LOL), that some people take quite literally and cause these kind of dumbass situations...
3. Start treating Kids As Kids and maybe you don't have to deal with wackedout gun totting Charles Manson Wannabees when they grow up in their teens...

Just put'em all on Prozac! Medication is the only way.

Good now that that has been resolved.

Looks like old school discipline can land you in jail !
