You will not be discriminated in Finland because you speak English, and certainly not due to any reason of "the language is like a steam engine putting along".

The context i am talking about is that -
Presuming that because fins speak English , a foreigner coming here and saying he speaks english and Fins speak english , so lets speak english and forget the about swamp language will result in some of the information in my prior posts.
You may be discriminated against because you don't speak Finnish (or Swedish). You may be discriminated against because you are a foreigner. But you will not be discriminated against (as the sole reason) because you speak English. Not speaking Finnish, Swedish, or English will mean that in the Finnish eyes you are pretty much worthless until you do learn some language that Finns will understand.
So the countless scores of midle aged estonian workers who speak russian and estonian are worthless? yes you are right because fins dont like that attitude of coming into fin and not giving, just taking? correct?
Well guess what, the estonians do it , the russians do it and ofcourse the english speakers do it the most!!!. Do you presume that the fins are stupid and blind to the fact the russians do it, or the estonians?Why presume then that they dont feel like the english speakers do it?
So your premise is incorrect as actual measurable facts prove!


And you might also look up what racial/ethnic discrimination is. Just being a foreigner doesn't make discrimination ethnic discrimination unless it is discrimination due to whatever ethnicity you are. Yes, there is ethnic discrimination in Finland, but speaking English would not be one of them.
A tardy attempt to prove something doesnt exist, that does for a number of languages and peoples that enter the EU!

In England Finnish language is ethnic, so not giving me a job because I won't speak it is ethnic discrimination.
You know i don't have any issues with language requirements in employment.
But lets turn the tables on this idea.
You come to Britannia to work and you only speak finish? ,at first they will think this guy is doing it tough and might cut you some breaks , but if you could relay to them that you wont speak English and your here to take.
I say that a host of ethnic discrimination thoughts will enter the minds of everyone you know!

I nearly posted a similar question a couple of days ago, but came to the conclusion that they're 3 sandwiches short of a picnic. Lots of people turn up here with differing, but still logical, points of view. That's quite normal. But sometimes you get someone who turns up with totally irrational drivel. Maybe something wrong in the head (happens to a third of us at some point in life apparently), or simply a troll.
Political correctness is the belief that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

A forum is for debating and because you both lost the argument your calling for troll patrol?
Take your innuendos back to the front of the school yard where you guys turn up 30 minutes early to pick up your children , standing there with each other(or a huddle of Hags) so you can complain about the weather, your husbands friends, Television ads and the school system.You wont see me in your little huddle.
Do the right thing and send me a link about this troll phenomenon , its quite possible i will use the information there to win the next debate.

School yards, Children, Husbands and TV adverts? :? How did you make the leap to those subjects? I don't have much to do with any of them. :roll:

Sorry, you're just a bit odd.

Now cory, I usually give the Finns both barrels when it comes to racism and some of them have absolutely disgusting attitudes to Russians in particular, but wanting workers to speak Finnish really isn't an example.

Not even sure you are responding to me as my ID is cors187, not cory!
Skin color is part,the way people think and act is a part,regretfully i think speaking a different language is a key indicator that someone is different.Any form in part or whole that contributes can be used as an example.sorry
If you read back through my posts you will find that i totally agree with language requirements.
