How come that flag doesn't have a shadow going to the right like everything else in that pic.

Use a little trig and figure the length of the shadow for the pole alone (i figure that's about 4') with a near perpindicular sun angle (call it 10 deg.)

And you can see the shadow for the pole.

NUKE is just a troll.

Nuke,

So.. how much did you have to do with people going to space, sending probes to mars?
I'm sure you're cursing about the taxes, which helps your oh so great nation to send probes to mars. (unless you're too young to worry about that of course)

So, how many people actually had ANYTHING to do with these things?
I tell you: only a little minority.
The rest has been just paying the tax money.

And then again, what does achievements have to do with anything?
It doesn't prove their attitude or intentions.

by the way, your attitude stinks.. :>

What do achievements have to do with anything???? I hope all Fins don't share your mentality. Without achievements, you wouldn't have wheels on your bicycles, fire to cook with (electricity if you're lucky), printing presses to read books, metal to make tools, glass to make windows, and in more "modern" times where achievements have allowed computers to post your stupid remarks.

Finland?

never claimed to be personally responsible for putting men on the moon, though my uncle was involved.....along with perhapse millions of other Americans in a huge, nation-wide industrial effort . I also have never complained about paying taxes.

Why people get upset just because I am proud of my nation, and post some pics is beyond me. And I am a part of this nation and however small a roll I play, I do play a role.

I wouldn't get upset if someone from another country posted in a similar way. What's the big deal? If it irritates you then maybe it's an attitude perception issue on your part, not my attitude. What you perceive as my attitude is just a guess on your part, as you do not know me.

1945:

One big mushroom cloud (or poisonous smoke) changed the way how military planners think, this includes the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialists Republics.
