Do not look at Tony Halme who was silly. Look at Kauko Juhantalo... we got convicted people there...
Yep. and Kauko-setä's done very well on his second time around.

But everything's relative:

Is it the NFL or is it the NBA?

- 36 have been accused of spousal abuse

- 7 have been arrested for fraud

- 19 have been accused of writing bad checks

- 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses

- 3 have done time for assault

- 71, repeat 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit

- 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges

- 8 have been arrested for shoplifting

- 21 currently are defendants in lawsuits. and

- in 1998 alone, 84 have been stopped for drunk driving

Can you guess which organization this is?

I'd have been happier with a simple "False".

maybe he/she just needs to have a change in life. when people live in the same environement too long they get bored and long for a change.
i think i want a change too. at least it should be something veyr new, very different from goals like becoming a professor or achieving some achievement. I am fed up with my current life style. I have to make a change. It could start with a dream for a exotic country like Finland or Iceland... 8)

From The Free Dictionary: "Exotic: (1) From another part of the world; foreign (2) Intriguingly unusual or different; excitingly strange.

Why do you feel that none of the above pertains to Finland? :shock:
