I think its very open-minded of the Finns to find the "re-imagining" of their war ace amusing and joining in the fun ... certainly
some people here in my country could use a fun-hammer lately

Hmmmm, who's next.... maybe the Germans?

Well I seem to recall someone telling Chuck Yeager about it. Supposedly he was fine with it cause the version of him has a giant rack.

If there's one next, a small country with little international impact is more likely than big Germany.

The Germans are pretty wary about war and their Nazi history, after denouncing it.

I don't think mind this though :

And this would improve German-American relations :

I do... that was a massive load of bullshit that could have been resolved with a lot less expense. What makes it worse is the stupid "we stand by our decisions" balderdash.

Human beings are like machines, they are programmable in all sorts of languages.

Unfortunately, some people are programmed in MORON.

Programed in MORON or by morons ?

Well, remember that only morons can program in MORON. Unfortunately, there is a fair few of such biological constructs who reject such a language because they run their subroutines in LOGIC, but LOGIC is deemed as an "outdated language" in the 1990s, thus these people are treated as legacy units or defective products amongst their "newer" counterparts programmed in the simpler and more easily distributed MORON (through popular media).

Although there has been a widespread use of MORON these days, the fail rate of such machines is quite high, and it is posulated that the core-programming done by "education institutes" using a great deal of KNOWLEDGE and IMAGINATION executions is actively replaced by DADT-SQL (Don't-Ask-Don't-Tell-SQL) with repetitions that avoid OOAD, as well as formal arguments being replaced by ad-hominem values with actual arguments being always 0.

Programming is messy work, but oversimplifying it results in the machines incapable of higher level functions. What is meant by simplification doesn't mean transitioning from a high level language to a low level language - all it means is to fine tune the code.

I would argue that the moron language is also somewhat contagious and it has been known to infect logical units especially if the logical unit is overwhelmed through sheer numbers (a brute force attack) or the logical unit has data that they do not like and the moron have a much more soothing answer that the logical unit is more willing to accept even if the message is still moronic. Conflicts in moron/logical units can lead to unpredictable results, outcomes or scenarios. For example if the main driver is a moron and the slave unit is logical the logical unit may perform seemingly illogical steps to comply with moron standards. Failure to comply would result in replacement of slave drive so the logical unit is still operating in a logical manner as it wishes to maintain its job in the system. This internal logic however is not apparent to the outside observer so it would appear the logical unit is behaving in a moronic manner.

Actually, removing the MORON programming is not much of an issue through a firmware reboot via social engineering, but the problem is that the widespread use of it makes doing something like this en-masse a chore as we also have to reprogram them in LOGIC.
