  1. Pretty common on tap for gay bars....or so I am told. Didn't you notice all the men wore mustaches and most of the women as well? </font>
  2. You have a virtual daughter? So your wife is virtual too? Cool! :mad:
  3. I moved closer to the Russian border, because I hate'em bastards! New job, new house, I hate them too! :mad:
  4. I think I single-handedly killed this thread. Mwuahhaahaaa!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:
  5. How cute. If this insult is directed at me, just read my posts and tell me where these "extreme views " are presented. Finnish front in 1944 is a "forgotten battle" in eastern front historiography outside Finnish borders. Some tidbits of facts here and there about it when eastern front is discussed doesn't hurt anybody.
  6. Well, the Soviets tried to bomb the city into oblivion in 1944, but thanks to the extensive counter-intelligence work they were bluffed to bomb the island of Vuosaari, which was made to look like the city from the air. Also the mines of Petsamo produced 75% of all the nickel for the German war machine, so you have your strategic importance right there. Don't know really what the strategic importance was in 1939, but you have to ask the Russians why they were so eager to invade another small nation after the Baltic States. There are always excuses, of course.
  7. To be fair, Soviet Union didn't exactly get its ass kicked, but against a nation of 3.5 million people only managed minor victories (in CM terms) in both occasions. Also, if Soviet Union had an opportunity to fully commit its forces against this minor nation, there's no doubt how it would have ended. On a related note Finnish national ice hockey team just beat Russians at Moscow 2-1. Sweet.
