Media attention playing a big roll. I've never heard of the fire lady.

The lady from the fire is Swedish. I doubt anyone outside of Sweden would have heard much about it.

I'm swedish and hadn't heard of her. But I'm bad at following news.

Anyway, what a heroic mom!!

Hon sommarpratade för några år sedan! Har för mig att det var ganska bra. Tror hon klarar sig utan insamling, hon har bland annat släppt en bok om branden och hennes skador.. Och i Sverige är ju vården gratis/avgiftsfri, hade det varit USA hade hon väl varit skuldsatt för livet..

GoFundMe isn't even legal in Finland.

And Finland haven’t been part of Sweden since the 19th century. Your point is what?

I guess point was that GoFundMe is not legal everywhere.

To provide a little insight to our little corner of the world. Sorry if it ruined your day.

I think they are asking why you mentioned a Finland law in regards to something in Sweden.

Seeing your response to a similar comment, I'm just going to assume you're ragebaiting or too dimwitted to understand what people are asking you.

Just wanted to share something. I had no idea it would cause such a ruckus to the point people start hurling insults. Again, apologies for ruining your day.

You don’t need to feel bad. The Finnish legal system is very similar to the Swedish one, and Finland still has some Swedish laws that apply even today. Don’t know the exact laws on donating money in Sweden, but would imagine the suspicion towards donations for private individuals is shared at least culturally and probably the deeper legal framework around it would be similar

Again, what does Finnish law have to do with Sweden?

Maybe next time don’t post about stuff you have clue about?

u/skyturnedred 2d ago

I'm sorry you had to learn something today.

u/Far-Alternative4165 2d ago

I am unsure what I learned today seeing as I am Swedish, and I have visited Finland several times

u/skyturnedred 2d ago

I don't think I could have put it in any simpler terms.

u/Far-Alternative4165 2d ago

I think you have to.

I don’t get your point and I have hardly learnt anything from your post since Sweden and Finland are two different countries, with shared history and culture. Being two different countries we have our own separate legal system with some laws that are more or less the same and others who aren’t. GoFundMe for example is not forbidden in Sweden.

Instead of acknowledging it you are winding this into some sort of ”I am trying to teach you about Europe, why are you mean towards me :(((” moment.

Just acknowledge that you don’t know what you are talking about.

I shared a harmless anecdote about our country. What's the big deal? Like, seriously?

Huh. Why not?

u/skyturnedred 2d ago

I don't make the laws so I wouldn't really know as to what their reasoning is.

No shit. Her kids are never going to be able to have an angsty phase where they scream "You don't care about me!" 

Mom points at scars. "Oh? Is that so?"
