The Insult Thread

In Finnish, we have this saying “kukas kissan hännän nostaa jollei kissa itse”, (who shall rise up a cat’s tail if not the cat itself), which refers to bragging about your own deeds. I always thought it was a proverbial cat but now I think you might have had something to do with it.
I find it really hard to say something insulting about Finland. Can we settle for faint praise?

 
Not quite an insult, but in the spirit. The first sentence of an earlier work:

To those persons with Literotica authorly ambitions, writers past, present and potential, scurrilous scribblers of sex, with vast unreasonable expectations of writerly recognition and wanton wishes for immortal fame, yet whose grandiose visions exceed their meager talents by immense margins, who find new and imaginative ways to violate time-honored literary conventions of the language, who recklessly run rampant through natural and normal rules of grammar, employ both clichés with impunity and plots rife with logical inconsistencies, develop character motivations of the flimsiest fabric, sodden prose of the most execrable flavour, stories of repulsive depravity - may you be cursed.

Polls often suggest that Finland is one of the happiest places on Earth. Which leads me to believe that they simply don't know better, or aren't allowed to get out, or they have really good alcohol. I mean, a significant portion of it is above the Arctic circle and is frozen much of the year.

Our secret is that we’re all equally miserable, so the differences between people’s happiness levels are small. You’re not wrong about really good alcohol though.
 
I'm straying a bit from the "insult" guideline, but I've heard from some people with experience that Finns are fun to party with.

We tend to run around naked a lot, it depends on your preferences if that’s fun or not. And to extent, time of year. In winter you need to run faster or you end up with icicles on your privates. That’s decidedly not fun.

By the way, you do notice that when you tell people to insult each other, they end up having amicable back and forth over random topics? Did you do that on purpose? You evil uncle Simon you.
