    Finland used to a part of the Swedish kingdom until the Russians conquered our lands. The Swedish language stayed and is still taught to every Finnish citizen over the age of 12.

    There's still a minority of about 6% speaking the Swedish language as their first.

    It's not as important as it used to be though, I can hardly speak any of it myself.

          For those of you not in the know. The Machine is a pure boxing fan. He is a fan of the sport. Geography has no bearing on his likes and dislikes.

          I personally do not care if he is from TimBukTu, I do not care for this conspiracy theory about him being from the States and fully believe that he is from Finland.

          He does not have to be Pro Europe or Anti USA. He is the purest of fight fans. He likes what he likes and that is that.

            Our hockey players, Teemu Selänne, Saku and Mikko Koivu who play in NFL.

            By the way TheManchine, what car do you drive?
            An ancient Opel Vectra. I can testify that despite the success of some of our drivers in F1 and racing, Finnish auto drivers are quite terrible.
