A swedish fellow I know was stabbed with a knife by a finnish construction-worker. When arrested he protested to the police saying "But I did not hurt him, I only scratched him !" The finnish are not bad, but like many indigenous people they simply cannot handle the effects of alcohol. But cardemaister, being gay, surely is not drinking much.
