Nikolce is saying that Finland is useless as a country because If they have a great education system they are squandering it by NOT DOING ANYTHING WITH IT.

I was simply parroting something I read on a liberal website that studies indicate Finland's education system appears more effective.

Effective how? Beyond GDP and economics then What is Finland doing with all of this MORE EFFECTIVE education?

It's effective HOW?

Are they blazing new frontiers in medicine NO cures for diseases? NO ...or perhaps scientific discovery NO and space exploration? NO give me one example. one.

If their education system is really so much better than everyone else.... wouldn't that LOGICALLY PRODUCE SOMETHING!? ANYTHING AT ALL YOU COULD POINT TO AND SAY "IN YOUR FACE NIKOLCE, they are also NUMBER ONE in _____________"
They are Numero Uno at being Finland.

They're #1 in speaking Finnish. Slightly more people speak Finnish than Klingon, so that must mean it's a pretty important language.

This is all you need to know:

In 2010, Newsweek chose Finland as the best country in the world.

I was going to play Skyrim again, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

And someone stole my sweetroll.

Speaking of Skyrim it won't happen but I'd love to see it redone for PS4/Xbox one.

At least not anytime soon.

This comes across my mind way too often:

I refuse to play Bethesda games on console ever again. I loved the hell out of Fallout 3 on PS3, but I've had my heart broken by corrupted saves too many times.

At least with PC you can mod and grant yourself stuff you worked for and lost in a new save.

With console you're back to being Vault 101 Radroach Slayer again.

And yet you seem like one of the most miserable people here. Not that text on an internet forum is any kind of way to judge, but you appear to spend more time logged in here than I do and I can say unequivocably that I'm very impoverished and thoroughly miserable.
I don't get how you attribute posting here as being miserable....

Not exactly surprising when your afterlife involves unlimited booze and pork. Sure, you have to fight, rape and pillage but isn't that what we're all doing anyway?

Bring on the feast halls, I say.

I'll take the fighting and pillaging. I don't need the rape; my victim's women will realize how awesome I am at the other two things that they won't even weapon over their former men's steaming-in-the-snow corpses as they gather in my wake.

I despise the iProductLine in all its iterations.

Not so much the hardware itself, which has more positives than negatives, but just the way they look to be omnipresent in your life once you own their products. Ugh.

Why do you both hate Capitalism? And for shame Niko, if anyone is furthering the cause of Evil Inc. it's Apple.

I enjoy that the competition brings innovation.

I don't enjoy that people flock like sheep to Apple products when they're really not superior the way they're made out to be. In some cases they may be the best product, but in many cases they're just assumed to be the best product.

It's that sort of herd assumption that bothers me.

Well fortunately for my stocks NOBODY CARES HOW YOU FEEL! /shove

One of these days I'm going to take a vacation to liberal utopia... where actual results don't matter... jam a big old hat pin right into my frontal lobes and walk around pretending how I feel about things influences their existence in our world...
