While I bear no love for the seal oil-sucking Finns, they are a damn sight better than the filthy, beer-swilling papists on that little piece of whale turd we call "Ireland".

IANAR was posting from Ireland? Get out. Fucking Island isn't that big.
The People support Finland.
Their appetite for hard alcohol is matched quite closely with Ireland, but has Ireland ever produced someone as badass as Simo Häyhä? No, exactly. Case closed.

Is that the sniper dude?
Yup. Highest recorded number of kills of any sniper. One man scourge of the Red Army. 705 confirmed kills in less than a hundred days.

And SURVIVED being SHOT IN THE HEAD WITH AN EXPLODING BULLET.
That man is cast iron testicles, from head to toe.
Yeah, the Soviets really wanted him to die. I think they called in several airstrikes on him and sent out a lot of counter-snipers too, for all the good it did them. I wonder how many of the latter ended up as part of his overall tally?

Yes, the
Protestant kilt-wearing Irish. The ones who don't blow up Englishmen, they just punch
every single Englishman in the face, using your face as a proxy.

And
that's why I voted for the Finns.
i didn't want to post which side i supported so as not to sway the results, but now that they are leaning towards finland, i feel compelled to submit the following:
james joyce
oscar wilde
W B Yeats
Samuel Becket
William Rowan Hamilton
also, Guinness

Yes. But it would involve killing a lot of Soviets so it would make buckets of money.
Voted for the Irish.
According to BNR, the Encyclopedia of Metal, Finland has 123 metal bands. One of which, Moonsorrow, is one of the best metal bands, evar.

Ireland has a paltry 12.

It's a no-brainer.

The only reason I can think of is because of the relationship between the Finns and the Nazis during the Winter War. It actually wasn't very close, but the Finns were not entirely hostile to the Germans either (though they jerked them around no end, and deliberately went out of their way to upset them re: Jews), and lots of people might think of them badly because of that. The historical record puts them in a fairly good light, but at the time...

Hang on, you're saying that Hollywood wouldn't want to touch it because of such a minor obstacle as historical accuracy?
I'm terribly undecided about this...
