Which of the Scandinavian countries do you find the most badass. I have no idea why, but since young I've always been really interested with the Scandinavian countries, particularly Norway. I'm also really really interested in Norse Mythology and Old Norse(of which Norwegian has its roots in).

Therefore, based on language, culture and possibly the atmosphere, which of the countries do you find the most badass? PS: There's something epic about tall, big sized blond men always talking about the sea and drinking.

Well from what you state i would have to vote for Denmark, they pretty much ruled everything back in the viking age. Including Norway and Sweden. Also the first to travel to Greenland and claim it. But ill admit i think Norway has the best climate and most viking like.

Overall they are all pretty cool and they can all understand each other. They should form the United States of Scandinavia. The USS, would be damn awesome.

Simo Häyhä. Sweet. Also, Finland was a badass during the Winter War. I personally go Norway/Finland > Sweden > Denmark. Not to say Denmark ain't badass at all, but it's the least among the Nordic Countries...:P



 That pretty much spells Badass.

Why you add Finland to Scandinavia? :?

Why wouldn't I? It's linked up to both Norway and Sweden aswell as only a ferry trip away from Denmark. Or shouldn't I since they have a language that doesn't really resembles the one Denmark, Sweden and Norway share?

Since Norway, Sweden and Denmark share so much that you can call it one people. It's only because of historic events that Danish, Swedish and Norwegian is considered 3 different languages. Finland doesn't have that much in common with the rest of us.

Granted, but this has been argued about several times over. Officially It's Norway, Denmark and Sweden. Unoffically I consider Finland part of Scandinavia aswell even though it isn't officially.

Finland by far. They beat the crap out of the russians in WW2 and indirectly lead to the defeat of the nazis. Hitler saw how bad russia fared against Finland and attacked russia which eventually lead to the downfall of the 3rd reich.

Yes, you DEFINITELY have to give little (population-wise) Finland credit for holding off the Soviet Union for a while before WWII. But these days, there is nothing remotely "badass" about anything or anyone from Scandinavia. Total wimps / wusses that their truly badass Viking ancestors would be ashamed of

Scandinavian countries are among the least badass in the world. The last badass to even grace that region of the world was Gustavus Adolfus. And he got beat.

Who...? :? I personally think the Norwegians who fought their German occupants during World War II were pretty badass, and so for that matter was the Danish resistance. Mannerheim and his men redefined the entire concept of badassness during the Winter War, and then you have the Swedish volunteers that drove trucks across the ice to Finland with food and medical supplies, and who went back and forth across the Norwegian border, helping Jews hide from the German trains and get them to safety... And I vote Sweden, of course. Fosterland! :D

But where was the badassery when Denmark yielded to the Germans without a fight, becoming the easiest and most lenient of her conquests, and Norway was conquered soon afterward? I mean, if the best performance they put on in the last century was mounting a resistance effort after having already been conquered, how can we truly call them badass?

Sweden: Responsible for the creation and founding of the band BATHORY.

Norway: Responsible for the rise of the Black Metal Scene and the rise of notorious and well known bands.

I pick both.

Meh, the Rhinelands were technically the easiest to take...

Yet, how can you disagree with the badassery of the Finnish when they fought off the Russian Army and skinned the corpses of the fallen Russian soldiers, hanging the dried skins on the trees along the country's main road? Pretty badass. Plus, nowadays the Scandinavian countries are badass enough to have awesome healthcare, some of the most attractive women on the planet, an insanely high standard of living, and a very small poverty ratio. Pretty badass. ;)

I say Denmark was the easiest in terms of independent countries. All Hitler had to do was go "I'm remilitarizin' ya Rhineland LOL" to "take" it back. Plus, i'm not even sure of Finland is technically a Scandinavian country. And since when has a high standard of living ever been "badass"? What ever happened to Scandinavians sailing around the world having sex with beautiful women? THAT is a high standard of living. ;)

Okay, I'll agree with you on the sex with beautiful women part...that is a VERY high standard of living.

I usually equate badassery with braveness, so the bravery that it takes to institute nearly socialized medicine is indeed brave, and very noble. They have the best healthcare in the world, and everyone can get it (my friend broke his back in Sweden and was treated for free - he never saw a single bill). The only sacrifice is the 42% income tax (those are the numbers for Sweden, I believe), but they don't have to pay for healthcare out of pocket, which saves a cubic buttload of cash.
