| Parokki said: Pointing out how a man who lived 150 years ago was a racist, and using it as an argument against him possibly being awesome is pretty much the same as shouting "HELP, I SUCK AT HISTORY". =P I guess I'm going to be boring and nominate Carl Gustav Mannerheim as the awesomest Finn. |
Some slightly more interesting nominations:
Arndt Pekurinen, the first Finnish conscientious objector who died for his beliefs.
Mikael Agricola, who developed the written Finnish language.
Martti Ahtisaari, a Nobel-prize winning mediator and diplomat.
And the mandatory mention: Urho Kalevi Kekkonen.
