Someone needs to explain that the terms "anti-war" and "anti-American/America" are NOT synonyms.

Okay. I'm thinking of moving to Finland. Who's with me? We'll have fun. We'll learn Finnish, we'll dance like caribou, we'll enjoy the long hours of daylight half the year and dim darkness the rest.

Yeah, I'll move to Finland. Dance like caribou? Sounds like fun, but I think I'd like to snore like caribou at the moment. :)

Any reindeer involved in this outing?

Intellectual curiousity only... I'm too old for such things, and can't balance on the stool well enough anymore.

but you can still put on the antler helmet and bend over.

"Finland, Finland, Finland.
The country where I want to be,
Pony trekking or camping,
Or just watching TV.
Finland, Finland, Finland,
It's the country for me."

We can add lots of extra vowels to our names, too! We exchange packages for work with Finnish people, and they all have names like Tiinaa!

Well if you decide not to move there you guys can move up here and be with me! :)) lots of swimming and camping and folk festivals! oh and pick up ashbet and kira and her beau and charlie on your way up here :P

That's thoroughly disgusting.

And I wanna move to France. Plus, it would greatly improve my French, especially since I'm sure that now more than ever, the French *really* don't wanna speak English!

I'll go with you. Maybe I can look up some of my relatives in nearby countries. You know, with a last name like mine that should be easy.

What is a patriot, anyway?

[identity profile] bbick.livejournal.com 2003-03-18 08:14 am (UTC)(link)
I agree with you whole-heartedly. It makes me so mad that anyone who questions what our country is doing is branded as being anti-patriotic. Well, news flash...I question because I love my country and I want what's best for it. It's worse than people who take every word of the Bible at face value and are too lazy or scared to question anything in it, or come up with their own interpretation.

To quote one of the masters:

"We have to be able to criticize what we love
And say what we have to say
And if you're not trying to make something better
Then as far as I can tell,
You are just in the way." -Ani DiFranco

Finland?
How about we take over a nice island somwehere? If you look in the Robb reports, I think we could find one for sale and then we could set up our own gaf government.

Yeah, and then we can "extradite" all the cute boys from the crime of...um...being really hot and not giving us any. Yeah, that's it.

Dancing like caribou sounds fun. Living half the year in dim darkness does not. Perhaps I'll just join you for the better half of the year. :)

[identity profile] circumspectly.livejournal.com 2003-03-18 09:51 am (UTC)(link)
i'll go...i can have shaggy finland ponies. we can dance like caribou, and during the dim dark, we can buy those sunlamp thingies and stay perky and stuff. sounds good to me. when do we leave? yesterday?

Finnish is too hard to learn for an ignoramus like me.

*sigh*

i'll stay here, perhaps with regular trips to Finland to see the rest of you?

I was considering Iceland myself.

tempting, very tempting...escpecially considering what a shit day I'm having.

I still think New Zealand would rock. You could have tropical climate OR cold adn snow depending on what altitude you picked. and kiwi. lots of kiwi

Come to Sweden...they're neutral, they have elk and bears, they know *lots* of drinking songs...oh, and I'll be there in 1 week!

Count me in! I'd prefer Canada, but... Finland IS further from the U.S., so it'll work too :-)
Damned President.
