Admit it, the Vikings screwed up Europe and thus the rest of the world indirectly! It stands to reason. What the Vikings didn’t do themselves the screwed up Europeans finished for them.

Evidence 1. Creation of Russia.
It is a well known fact that the great (and later on power hungry) nation of Russia was established by Vikings.

Evidence 2. The Conquer of Great Britain along with Normandy
The Vikings seeded a millennium of mistrust between Great Britain and France by invading both areas and instigate them against each other.

Evidence 3. The extremely good boats
The Vikings’ boats were far superior any other ship when it came to sailing, both up against the wind and with the wind. The speed together with the lightness made it possible to sail every unknown waters; seas, oceans and rivers. These boats made it possible to discover America. Of course, other Europeans learned from this and later on and Europeans sailed all over the world causing trouble whenever there was a coast in sight.

What does the modern Viking do today? Watches the news on TV, smiling as no one so far has blamed them for anything despite of the huge blinking arrows pointing at them, screaming guilt! If the world decided to invade Iceland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden there would be no more war, no more poverty, no more deceases. These nations are the true axis of evil behind their “oh so nice” façade!

You are welcome to try this theory. I’m convinced that you can’t find any loopholes whatsoever and I’m willing to answer any question should you have one.

*looks out the window and sees 2 man in black coming out of black van*

Quite frankly we are suprised you remember the last time, it's obvious that we did'nt wash your brain properly. I hope you realize what trouble you are causing, Spoffin cooperated and see how nicely adjusted he is.. 8)

Totally true, 100%

How is it possible for Vikings to screw up Europe? They happen to be in Europe (Scandanavia) only people to screw up anything is politicians :twisted:

Excellent, Big Mad, I like it! :D don't forget:

1. Giving women right to vote before anyone else

2. Use of swastika for Nazis to pick up later

3. Whaling

4. Abba, A-Ha, Roxette, Ace of Base, Aqua

5. Destruction of monasteries

6. Black Metal

I can't decide who screwed up Europe more.

The Vikings ?

...or Napoleon ?

Vikings it was.

I think a tribe of Finns managed to drive some Vikings out of Finland at some point in history, actually I'm quite sure, but I can't find the documentation about it.

Anyway my theory is that we managed to drive them away, and thus are superior to everyone else, because the Vikings didn't managed to mess us up. :)

1. Giving women right to vote before anyone else: Whats wrong with that,

2. Use of swastika for Nazis to pick up later: the nazis didn't decide to take over the world because of a dumb sign

3. Whaling: Whaling was practiced both before and after the vikings

4. Abba, A-Ha, Roxette, Ace of Base, Aqua: I'll give you that one

5. Destruction of monasteries: good riddance!

6. Black Metal: And alot of people see this as a good thing, like me for one, though I dont think the vikings had anything to do with it.

*Sighs* It's useless to run, we will get you. And it will only hurt more then, just spread eagle on the ground and surrender. As all can see Spoffin is happy and no more has those silly ideas about aliens being here on earth.. 8)

1. I think that goes to Australia actually, than comes Finland, but most Finns weren't vikings, somewhere and somewhere slaves of the Vikings, and others kicked their asses as stated.

2. Finns again used Swastikas on their Airforce, it was because it was the (vaakuna what the hell is that in English, anyway the logo-kinda thingy Families and nations have) of some family which started the Airforce.

3. Maybe.. maybe bot...

4. Yeah that's the Swedes all the way.

5. Don't really know about this one.

just spread eagle on the ground and surrender.

:shock:

:P @ Ikitok

Speak your mind young one :D


As for the viking stuff, well what is there to say. More than that they ruled *noddels*. Without them much of eauropean and middle eastern history would have lacked sourly..

*Sighs* It's useless to run, we will get you. And it will only hurt more then, just spread eagle on the ground and surrender. As all can see Spoffin is happy and no more has those silly ideas about aliens being here on earth.. 8)

You will never catch me!

Pssst, BMV, if you're gonna hide it's a good idea NOT to tell people where you're hiding :P

*hides in Egypt*

Why egypt of all places?, looking for mummy perhaps?

I have to say, it's better than always blaming us Americans for every wrong in the world.

Well the Irish drove the vikings out after the Irish victory in the Battle of Clontarf

I wanted a redo on that battle cause there had been a great party the day before, so the viking team had hangovers. And as well know Irish handle their liquor better :D

Did they have this party togrther? If so, that's class!

Nah!, as you well know Viking parties usually ends up with someones village or monestary getting sacked. So i don't think they partied with the irish..

Don't blame the Swedes for all the bands. Aqua is Danish/Norwegian. A-ha is Norwegian.

But you can blame the Swedes for just about anything else you want. :p

The Vikings are to blame. That includes Denmark and Norway! :wink:

I have only ONE thing to say........

WE HUNT WHALES FOR FUN!!!!!!!!

Take that! Hah! 8)

the norse are pussies

GO SUOMI


(note: I am not finnish nor will I ever be, or have I or any of my known ancestors ever been at any point in history. I just think the norse are pussies and the finnish aren't :P)

Doesn't matter what you think, you are unimportant.

*Cooks his extremely late dinner,,, today's special, whale beef,, ,mmmmmm* :D

Vikings play the Lions sunday at Ford Field :)

Norwegians are odd.
Not as odd as the Danes though. Some people don't understand just how odd the Danes are, but just... there is something odd going on there... I'm sure.

Of course the Finns kick everyone elses ass, but we are too humble to go and brag about it 8)

Despite what some americans here might try to make everyone else think, there is no rivalery between the norwegian and finnish brother nations. It should go without saying, we share a special sence of belonging to each other. Both my grandfathers fought for Finland thruought the second world war, and if it were up to me now, I'd do the same.

Cya!

Hehe, I guess that the finnish and the norwegian would gang up on the swedes anyday! Even the danish would throw in a punch just for old times sake! :P

I must agree with Parambola though, denmark is one odd country ... haven't actually been there but I've met some danes on IRC, and :shock: :shock:

The danes are pretty relaxed people imho and I like them a lot! Sometimes they can be a bit too relaxed though... :wink: I guess it's the closeness to the continent that makes it so. :D

Pssh! the norse are nice, thought i'm stil peved we lost a war to them :wink:

The fins, well according to popular belief. They drink alot and are quite good with knifes, happy to have a sea between us. Oh and give back Åland :D

Danes are a laid back people, speaks they have a boild potato stuck in the throat :lol:

Neither would have any beef with us, well maby the danes. But not the norse or fins, we gave up finland rather peacefully. And like i said the norse beat us..

You ain't getting Ahvenanmaa :D , do you know that they make very nice crisps down their... yam.. Well if it weren't for the crisps and boats I guess you could keep the damn island, It's not like we don't have others 8)

Though I think they have pretty good looking girls there too.. hmmh..

For a second there I thought I might be moving to live on an island, but maybe not.

Yeah.. well the freakish thing about Danes has a lot to do with movie.. I mean I don't mean Trier or anything.. but like old horror films.. they are just way freaky, I saw one with this freaky church cult.. I don't know.. but if there is something like that there.. well umm.. :shock:

Anyway Peter Hoeg is Danish (I think) and he is an excellent writer, so they can't all be bad.

There is definetly a lot to respect about norway. Edward Grieg to begin with.. and excellent healthcare, wages etc. from what I hear. Actually a lot of medically trained people from here are moving there just to enjoy all of it.. damn it ! :lol: Anyway what is it with all those brass bands up there? Well the Black metal thing I think I can relate to, because it's much the same in Finland.

I think I've never visited norway, I have sweden and denmark when I was smaller.. but not norway.. but it looks beutiful from what pictures I have seen, definetly a place I might visit in the future.

I find Iceland very interesting.. that might have something to do with Björk and her beutiful music too.. and well the isolation and all that. Iceland actually is on my personal list of places to visit. Other ones on are atleast India and Brazil. Maybe New York too.. well it might be an evergrowing list..

Ok abit long

OK, I'll admit it. The Vikings screwed up Europe. Them crazy Romans had nothing to do with it. :twisted:

Let's give the Vikings a little more credit.

Their boats were light enough to carry over land, which they did at times, spreading the viking way. They got as far as the middle east going south (hiding in Egypt wouldn't do much good).

"sacking" is a Viking euphamism. Interestingly, the Saxons weren't named that until they encountered the Vikings.

did anyone talk about the danish? they are no real vikings -> they became to much german by the time!

Please dont be mad on my ancestors, they weren't that bad.

Sure, they killed, pillaged and raped but they did it for the common good.
By the time the vikings emereged Europa was a quiet place, where no one was doing anything sensible, they just lived in peace and we all know how boring peace was.

But then this bunch of bulky, handsome blonds came from the north terrifed the shit ouf of peasents and nobilty alike, creating a name for themself as the biggest bunch of badasses to ever wear horns on their helmets and still not looking like a halftwit.

Because of this, everyone armed themself waiting for the vikings, and when the testeron became to much they just went over and hacked their neighbours to pieces.
This way all of Europa realised how boring peace was, and starting fighting everyone who looked remotely foreign, creating crusades and empires and making reseach everyones prime interest as everyone was looking for interesting ways to kill people.
This again lead to the discovery of technology that was pretty useless to kill people but seemed like it could be used to other purposes, atleast until they found a way to use it to kill people with, like:
- forks (excellent to kill with)
- books (hit hard enough and you can kill, and there is also that welcomed desire to kill that students get from them)
- the wheel (rolling things over people is always fun)
- Ink (pour this down their throat and see them gurgle)
- America (this discovery have seemed to spawn a lot of killing machines and fun equipment)

That passiv attitude that people have today is not natural and it is slowly killing us all, as the stress that the bastards around you creates have no way to escape your body.
Did you ever hear about a viking that died of stress? No, he went down with a smile on his lips fighting in some battle, after beating 20 people to death with their own skull.
While some claim that they desire peace, I think we all need to come in contact with our inner vinking, greb some household tools and go over to that annoying bastard next door and show him how you really feel about him.
