No, slander is illegal. "Insulting" was a bad word to use, "criticizing" would have been more correct. Currently you have to be very careful about objecting to anything done by a foreigner. Just look at this article (Finnish). Apparently police targeting pickpockets is now racist if most of the pickpockets happen to be foreigners.

Female circumcision is an extreme example that no sane person tolerates. The problem is that anything less in your face is tolerated, in the name of multiculturalism. That leaves plenty of room to oppress women.

You're wrong about the hotels. Two of them are in central Helsinki. One is in Kallio, which is probably the least popular central area, but still popular compared to locations further away. The totally insane one is in Punavuori (Finnish), one of the most sought after locations for apartments.

Nice strawman calling anti-immigrants skinheads. Most of us are against skinheads too. We're not willing to tolerate people who themselves don't tolerate anything. This includes both refugees from backwards cultures and skinheads of our own. Unfortunately the skinheads are already here, but the refugees can be stopped at the border without harming our democracy. I would also point out that most modern skinheads are more talk than action, and they should have free speech too.

You're being hopelessly naive believing that officials have any success "encouraging women to have more equal status" (", mmmkay"). In Stockholm, TEN percent (article in Swedish) of 15-year old girls are having trouble with honor culture. This is in one of the most accepting countries on the planet. Even worse, when the percentage of immigrants in one area becomes large enough, attacks against the local culture reach out of control status (Swedish). If you don't speak Swedish, part of the article points out that firemen had to stop responding to fires that weren't spreading because they were too afraid of violence.

The talk about integrating refugees is all talk and no action. In practice, the refugees are trying to bring their own oppressive culture with them - the one they claim to be fleeing from. Sure, some of them actually believe in freedom, but there is no effort at all to weed out those who actually deserve our protection. The same will happen in Finland unless it's stopped now.

The multiculturalist fanatics are also trying to destroy our democracy. A Dutch member of parliament was banned from entering the UK to address the House of Lords, because their government thought it would cause trouble.

The Finnish prime minister is a coward and a traitor to the constitution. When the muslim world was in uproar about the Danish political cartoons, he apologized on behalf of Finland that they were published here too. Apparently he thinks they should have been hidden from view so us subjects couldn't decide for ourselves whether there was anything wrong with them. The message is clear: anything that muslims find offensive shouldn't be free speech, and boy are there a lot of those things.

Here are a couple of instructional videos, courtesy of the Finnish Ministry of Justice, on how to use the (experimental) Finnish e-voting system. Even though they're in Finnish, they show how the user interface works and looks like:

1. How to vote with the e-voting machine (the usual case)
2. What if you want to cast your vote for none of the candidates? (a blank ballot)
3. Special cases: What if you mistype a number or want to withdraw from voting in the middle of the process?

And here's an image showing the machine in action.

I just happen to live in Helsinki - surely a graph found on Wikipedia knows better than the people actually living here. Though you better believe it: every summer we have our share of 30+ days.

Or then you can continue searching the 'net. To prove that I am a "liar".

The HS website incident is probably a fluke or an incomprehensible editing decision in their end, which probably has had nothing to do with the authorities.

The finnish channel MTV3 reported about the Firefox release on their news broadcast.

Nonono... Trust me. You don't know perl backwards... Simply because perl doesn't allow such thing. In Perl, instructions are run sequentially, going forward only.

If you really want to impress, you must say you know Befunge backwards. In case you don't know, Befunge is a languge that allows the program counter to move not only forwards and backwards but also sideways. You can see some sample programs here.

One of the main news items on Finnish TV tonight was about Echelon. In brief, Tony Blair told the EU commission today that Britain hasn't betrayed Europe by participating in the US spy network also known as Echelon. Interesting was also the mention of that Echelon probably started as early as 1940.

Those who can understand Finnish can read a pretty good article summarizing the news here. Finland is one of the biggest supporters of privacy and protection of the individual in the EU.
