    Oh sorry about my ignorance. Ofcource I forgot to mention our finnish neighbours. Well, they are totally incomprehendable! :) I actually think that most people here in Denmark forget about Finland when we talk about Scandinavia. We are too busy making fun of the Swedish! ;)

    Ara, he's canadian. All they know about is the NHL. Nevermind that the rest of the world also competes in this sport. I'm not a big hockey fan though, but someone once told me that canada doesn't do well internationally, because we use different rules and a larger court, field what ever....

    The reason why Finland gets forgotten is that it really is just a province of Sweden. Sure they may have a semblance of independence nowadays but we all know that Finland is just a grumpy and rebellious province that soon will return to the fold. Why do you think Swedish is taught to all school children in Finland?


    ;) :p

    And why do you think that Sweden suddenly wanted a bridge across the sund? You have seen the futility of your independence, and as a nation wants to be part of the motherland! Just wait, soon you'll have the first uprisings in Skåne! Thats why Norway is hesitating to be part of the EU. They know they are going to be part of allmighty Denmark anyway! :D

    :mad: Today Scandinavia, and tomorrow its good ole Holstein. We want it all back! Danish Imperialism here we come! Reminds me of our old possesions in Estonia! We want those as well! And soon, we will be reinstituting Danelaw in the southern parts of England as well! :mad:

    Hey now! The Baltic States are ours! I wonder where they get this silly notion of independence from. However, I slightly agree with you on the issue of Skåne, I am myself a native of that region and I feel little kinship with those northerners. I have no interest in joining the decadent Danish kingdom though, no! Independence for Skåne now!

    ;)

    Well, we learned about their plans of world domination for the very least.

    Seems that us SPers have cornered the market on THAT.
