Hundreds of predominantly Iraqi migrants who have travelled through Europe to reach Finland are turning back, saying they don't want to stay in the sparsely-populated country on Europe's northern frontier because it's too cold and boring.

I live in Europe and Finland has a reputation that is a bit unusual. We had a bear problem in Germany back around 2006 (something that hasn’t happened in 150-odd years), and they finally ended up calling up a Finn bear hunter group. There were daily status reports of the Finn hunters and it was like a bunch of Ozark Mountain men arriving in NY City.

Finns drink an awful lot. Finns are terrible at social occasions....avoiding face-to-face contact and often talking to someone at an angle...just to avoid the eye-to-eye situation. Finns tend to think about things an awful lot....to the ninth degree.

So I don’t think it’s just a migrant thing. You could take a couple of Americans and send them there for a year, and even they would start talking about the problems of adjustment.

Stay out of the USA because it’s too hot, cold, crowded, deserted, wet, dangerous, boring...

Or, maybe they don’t like Lutherans?

Oh,if they think about it I'll remind them that it's drier, hotter and more desolate than the place they left. And then there's the rattlesnakes, black widows and giant centipedes (also poisonous) all over the place.

Islamic Invasion Forces, turned back by lack of reception. Icy snobbery, suspected.

There’s a classic Monty Python advert for the Finnish board of tourism (”Finland, Finland, Finland....”).

“So much to do there....”

For real, the Finns have enough experience with barbarian invaders as in 1940. And unlike the other Scandahoovian countries they have their guns, and those razor sharp puuko knives. Winters in Finland being colder than a witch’s t** don’t hurt, either. Ask the Russkies.

I had heard that the cellphone as we know it was perfected by Nokia and became hugely popular in Finland as it eliminated the need for eye contact or even being in the same room with whomever one was talking with. Finns even used cellphones on first dates; the guy & gal hadn’t even physically met but could break the ice with their Nokia’s and proceed carefully to an actual meeting.

I once saw film of another Finnish custom. Passengers on a long bus ride stop for a break; they all get off the bus, then tango music begins to play and the Finns pair off & dance the tango together. Another icebreaker.

Anyway, go Finland! Keep those koranimal savages out!

The Finns are outstanding riflemen. That probably scared the jihadists.

Sounds like I would fit right in.

Except for the drinking part.

Although I do understand they brew a very fine cup of coffee.

I had the opportunity to work with Finnish soldiers in the Balkans. Their sauna’s were awesome! The troops were tough as nails, and hated the Russians (still). I can only imagine what they think of the “refugees”.
