Finland 20.7%, USA 23.6%, according to world population review.com and one of the few sources I could find that mentions both the USA and finland. So you’re wrong there. (Globalactiontoendsmoking.org has similar numbers, btw)
Also, you said traits. Plural. But yeah, easier to make up shit and pretend you’re right and then stop replying when proven wrong than just be mature and say “my bad”.
Whoops. I pulled a statistic from 2009. Anyway, here’s another one: they both love public baths. Do you really think you’ll come out on top while arguing Finland and Greece have zero common traits? Do you realize how insane that is?
Saunas are popular in Finland, true. Not so much in Greece. And the Hellenic/Roman public baths, which are quite different from saunas, btw, haven’t actually remained popular in modern Greece nor Italy.
I never said they have zero common traits, but not enough for us to be one big culture or anything close to that. Common traits you can find between Norway and Zimbabwe. Or USA and Japan. Or Nepal and Argentina. Saying “europeans do x” is like saying “Asians do x” or “black people do y”. That’s what’s insane… That you somehow fail to see that.
I was recently in Thailand. I guess I know what Asians are like now. AmA!
You implied there were zero common traits when you asked me to list them.
Don’t try to weasel your way out of it because you were wrong. Here’s another common trait between them: they’re both part of a geopolitical block of countries that has been trading culture for more than a thousand years. So yes, there’s bound to be some similarities and suggesting otherwise is asinine. One more thing: comparing “Europeans” and “Asians” as groups to “black people” is very racist.
I didn’t imply anything. You inferred all that without asking for clarification. Yes, most neighbouring countries will have common traits. Never claimed otherwise. I just disagree with the monolithic usage of “Europeans” and I just wanted to see what someone that referred to all Europeans as one group thought we had as a common trait. And after 4 comments of pretending to know shit, I got my answer. Thanks. Back to what I said before : deflect, pretend you’re right, never admit you’re wrong.
Do you even know the meaning of the word claim? I just told you that me asking you to tell me what the common traits are is not me claiming anything. And j even admitted that yes, neighbouring countries usually share common traits. Sometimes even countries that are not neighbouring, such as USA and Japan, I’ve also said that before.
But sure. Or maybe I’m missing something, so yes, please, do show me where exactly I claimed that there are no common traits. And what’s the other thing? Can you also point to that second thing I’ve apparently xlaimed, please.
So you were just curious about common traits between Greece and Finland and weren’t trying to make any kind of point? Silly me. You’ve done so much backpedalling I can’t even see you anymore.

This is the second comment where you said you didn’t claim something you claimed one comment ago.
Oh, the irony.

Nope, I just wanted to see if you had a point or not. Unlike you, I’m willing to change my mind when provided with good and not made up arguments.
