1.9.4 All XXXs are YYY, ain't that so?
Probably not. Never trust the net for drawing conclusions about groups
of people, especially whole nations. You'll always get it wrong. I
wouldn't want to preach, but some people need to be reminded. We're
not statistically representative of the population layers of our
countries, and most of us don't even attempt to represent anyone but
our own, eccentric selves. A few colourful kooks with no life outside
the net always outshine the silent, lurking masses. Don't fall into
thinking "Gosh, those XXXs sure are a mighty weird/fanatic/stupid
bunch of people." Treat us as individuals, and you'll have a better
chance of being treated as an individual yourself.
All this being said: welcome to soc.culture.nordic! We hope you enjoy
the group!
