            @in fact the majoritie of the people in scandinavia are all descent from samoi indigenous and mongolian people.@

            This is absolutely untrue! Modern Scandinavians are mix of ifluence from south, west and just some part of Sami. Mongolians don’t have to do with Scandinavians at all!

          • dennybb says:

            from europe
            i don’t know what kind of info do you have in america but i am from europe and i no need to learn the history of my place from foreigners.

            and for let you know samoi are indigenous descent from mongolians. LOL
            In the world there are different races such caucasia, mongolian, africans, hispanics, native american
            Nordic people have a big % of mongolian ancestry compare the rest of other europeans. and this is a fact from anthropology not an opinion

          • Marc 2 says:

            dennybb, you say that you don’t need someone else opinion about history of your country, but you don’t hesitate to lie about another countries history.

            Have you ever seen Saami people?

          • Uniscorn says:

            Are you on crack?
            I am from Europe.
            Finnish people are NOT in ANY way related to the Mongolian people.
            Northern people are considered inferior by Italians?
            Man, that country must be so proud you’re speaking for them.
            You just sound upset that other European countries have hot women.
            Or maybe you wish you were born blonde or something.
            Weirdo.
