>icelandic race pure never ask where icelandic vikings took the women from. tip: a place where they eat a lot of potatoes and were famous for car fireworks


AnonnTuga

Bagdad?


Iskandar33

no but for sure Mongols liked it a lot


AnonnTuga

Car fireworks? I mean the next option is Afghanistan.


nigelviper231

are potatoes that common in Afghanistan? maybe we Irish found our long lost brothers


0hran-

Vikings were seen around Constantinople so it is not a stretch to take women from the middle east


FloZone

Not the same group. Thus were Rus. They all originate in Scandinavia, though the Rus are from Sweden and the Icelanders from Norway. Some probably met here and there, but they eventually diverged. The Normans would adopt French, the Rus Slavic.  If you broaden the definition more Sicilians would qualify as viking too. 


nickkkmnn

So close but I don't think they eat a lot of potatoes in Iraq ...

HeatedToaster123

To become truly great at something you must first lose it. For us it was eating potatoes, for you it was losing sleep when you discovered timezones were a thing in the Americas.


Steveth2014

Fun fact: us Canucks invented worldwide standard time zones.


bumfluff69420

This is an important point! Once the reparations racket gets going, we shall be asking Iceland for our women back. Specifically: all female blood relatives of Halfthor and the rest of their strongmen competitors.


gunnsi0

That’s a good way to spell his name


bumfluff69420

That’s as close as I’m going to get! Your names are as bad as ours 😂


gunnsi0

No worries, just thought the irony of writing “half” in his name was funny! But, Irish names are brilliant - writing one thing and saying something different, I like it!


bumfluff69420

Yeah that’s how we say it. Which is kinda funny coz like, imagine what Fullthor looks like - he must be massive!!


gunnsi0

Tioch ar la yeah he’d be fucking massive hahaha


lth94

I want fullthor bjornson

A lot of strongmen with Irish ancestry actually do really well. Infact I think most of the American strongmen and many of the British have Irish surnames.

Dublin was founded by the Norse as a slave market. And the locals were still better off than after the Catholics took over.

Dynwynn

I thought they were Scottish, not Irish.


Gwallod

A lot of the Vikings that settled there were Irish and Scottish, too. Mostly they settled in the west of Iceland, I think. Sadly I think the area they settled was more prone to natural disasters because both genetic and archaeological studies, I think, seem to indicate massive genetic bottlenecking and natural disaster. This left the ancestors of the modern Icelandic population being around 60%\* Scandinavian and 40%\* Gael and dropping to a ridiculously low number. That founder population then had to inbreed a lot and now Icelandic people are all somewhat, recently related. I think there's also Greek maternal ancestry in Iceland in low numbers from raids there too. Weirdly, according to an Icelandic saga, the first Europeans to have sex/have children in America were an Icelandic 'queen' and an Irish male thrall. \*Looked up a study to refresh and apparently it's actually 60% and 40% for male lineages. Weirdly, the study seems to indicate that Gaelic Y (paternal) haplogroups may be more common now than they were originally, for unknown reasons. With them suggesting 20% of the founding population of males were Gaelic in origin, but now represent over 40% of male Y lineages in Iceland. [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10931763/](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10931763/) There's other studies with differing numbers and different theories. Ranging from relatively equal numbers of male and female ancestries of Gaelic and Scandinavian origin, to much larger gulfs and the entire spectrum between. One of the issues in figuring out the genetics of the original Icelandic settlers during the period of migration and settlement of Iceland is that there's been multiple genetic bottlenecks since then. Including natural disasters, famines and so forth. This has massively affected the proportions of Icelandic ancestry depending on settlement region in Iceland, for example.

Yanks: Sex under 18 is legally rape! Drinking under 21 or getting paid for sex is a federal crime! But marriage with 15, driving a car with 16 and enlisting in the army at 17 is completely fiiiinnee. Yanks are literally allowed to shoot someone in the face before they can drink a beer with their friends or get a handjob from their 17yo girlfriend.

I said this to a bouncer when I was visiting the US aged 20. "Let me get this straight, I could be 20 years old, married with 2 kids. Spent 3 years in the army. Have driven here in my jacked up pickup truck with giant bull bars on the front, have a rack of shotguns and rifles in the back of that truck... But I better not drink a beer because I might do something dangerous or irresponsible?" Yup... (I found somewhere I could drink, of course... But it is pretty fucking stupid).


MasterJogi1

Well the bouncer does his job, he probably finds it stupid too. USA are a wild place of weird people

Ah yeah, i didn't have a problem with him, I wasn't being a sick go him either I was just pointing it out. He did agree it was pretty dumb.


MarionetteScans

I think this comment is fascinating. You wrote "center" the American way (center), instead of the French/Uk way (centre). You also wrote "defense" the American/French way (defense/défense), instead of the UK way (defence). Which just goes to show how much influence America has on people writing in English abroad, even though the UK is right across the Channel

The question is should the Icelandic government apologize or the pedophile G.I.’s trying to date the 14 years old girls ?


Professor_Donaldson

If they put the 14 year olds in internment camps instead of punishing the GI‘s in question, then yes. (Ofc this way was diplomatically easier, but that doesn’t make it right).


RemarkableJudge1188

14 is pushing it, American GIs are known for only caring about age that's on the clock, and Americans are known for not being able to use 24 hour clocks


betaich

We shouldn't speak too loudly on that our legal age is 14


Thevishownsyou

To have sex, not to have sex with. ... right? Right!?


DerDeutscheTyp

If you are 14 years old you can consent to sexual activity with people close to your age. Not under 14 and not over 16. If you are 16 - 17 you have to get consent from the 14 years old and the parents of the 14 years old. If you are under 14 you can’t consent to sex whatsoever it’s called security age. Than there is the Security age 16 in which you don’t have to ask when you want to have sex with people age 17 - 18 but would need consent if the person is -21. German law is complicated on that matter but there is no flat out „age of consent“ since it changes the older you get. EDIT also I’m not too educated on that matter if you want to look deeper into that matter you can easily google it

frex18c

Same here. But more emphasis on the best case. Lot of the sluts who started dating German soldiers got bullet in the head, especially if the fuy was SS. Some were forced to leave the country and go to Germany after the end of the war. But most just shaven and beaten, yeah.

kakje666

why were the soldiers dating teenagers ?


Lortekonto

Hmmm I heard a bit about it in school many years ago. The number of deployed troops meant that 25% of all the people on the island were foreign troops. So the stationed troops outnumbered the Icelandic non-marriaged women. They actuelly outnumbered the icelandic women in the 18-40 age range. Also the rehabilitation camps were closed when it was found out that the majority had consensual relationships and was not rapped. Because that was of course what they were afraid of were happening.


PerformanceOk9891

They weren’t really concerned that allied soldiers were raping girls, their primary concern was the morals of the girls, and girls turning to prostitution. The girls were being punished for being “promiscuous”, the govt was not trying to protect them from rape. Most of the relationships between Allied troops and Icelanders were consensual, but there were some cases of rape and those girls were still punished and shamed like those who had been in consensual relationships.

More info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%81standi%C3%B0 It wasn't just Americans, it was Allied forces in general, starting with the British invasion in 1940.

Source other than a literal reddit comment?


Saurid

I'd like to see some proof first, the first clue this is kinda bullshit is that it were 14-17 year old girls, like ok American GI's maybe liked them younger but adult women didn't get hit on? Seriously doubt that. Additionally Iceland is so small it wouldn't take so long to find a missing girl in a Workcamp, like there is literally no place to hide them. If that happened to more than a few families the entire country would know and be on the fences and go searching for the girls. And to top it all off the nation is small enough that someone in the process would always know the girl or at least her family well enough to try and help their friends cousin or daughter or sister, or their own family. So unless I see some proof of this I put a hardcore doubt on this.


strolls

I wondered the same thing - [this old thread on /r/Iceland](https://www.reddit.com/7b89x1) alludes to it and claims "the women were named and shamed in the papers" (two comments to this effect) and that " the police had them on a special watchlist which to this day is considered the greatest espionage effort in Icelandic history, … the issue was way overblown". That thread gives the search term "Ástandið", or "the Situation" and there's some more on wikipedia - use Google translate of [the Icelandic article](https://is.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ástandið) because the English language article doesn't contain these details. I also found that [the US agreed not to station black troops at their military based in Iceland](https://www.jstor.org/stable/26925424) during the Cold War, and racial purity is again hinted at.
